DOVER April 1.-THE bill authorizing
the mayor aud City Council Of Whining
ton to borrow $500. 600 for the improve
ment Of the streets of the city passed the
Senate to day without dissenting vote
1t was done SO quietly that the senators
themselves scarcely knew what they had
passed.
A feature Of the passage is that 1t car
ried with it the Donahoe amendments,
and one Of these amendments was con
csived and tackled on within twenty four
hours Ct the time of It's adoption.
The first Donahoe amendment is that
the board Of Street and Sewer Commits
sioners shall pay the interest on the
bonds ont Of their appropriation. This
is the amendment the Citizens Commit
tee and the Legislative Committee or
City Coancil have 50 strenuously tried to
defeat They entreated Speaker Donah0e

creased taxation; but he was obdurate.
He told them point plank that he would
only vote for the bill with that amend
ment embodied ia It. His action. in the
face Of such an assertion will not prove
q surprise TO those who know him.
The most startling amendment he
made however, Is worded as follows:
Provided, however, that the said
Hne ri faf 2feaaf nd tuar nnt,, 4en
shall give all the contracts for material and
labor, for paving the streets, to resident
citizens of the city county or state
In an Interview on this amendment the
speaker said
THAT amendment will prevent the
money being used by a Republican board
OF commissioners for political purposes
1t will prevent colonization of negroes to
work on the streets and, In addition.
work and vote for the Republican party
And then there Is another consideration
II will give the workingmen Of .he city and
state employment as well as the local
contractors. They need 1t, and II vote
