The session is drawing to a close and the bill
for the amendment to the lien law, which
would protect citizens of this District from
paying twice for building material, still re-

the prospect is not good for the protection of
property here. Unless The STAR keeps the
subject before the people, 'the infamous
law" as Jno. Baker calls it, will yet entrap
many victims. In the press is the only hope
