man Of the committee, Mr.. John Joy Edison,
said today to q SrAa reporter:
II heard the entire debate and 70 me the
most gratifying feature Of Il all was the kindly
feeling exhibited toward the people Of the Dis
trict and the better understanding which

existing between this city and the general gov

or Representative who has been here for .
number OF years to find that he has . meager
idea OF the true relations Of the District gov
ernment to Congress. This, 40 might be e.
pected, is almost universal on the part OF new
members. OF course there 10 no other
municipal government in the United States
like the one under which the people Of the DIS
trict live. The District and appropriation
committees Of the Senate and of the House are
practically the board OF aldermen and COM

as tho bill passes the House and
becomes law tho executive committee will be
able to make definite plans, especially az far

There is one thing the committee has de-

have the money available. First, that derived
