The District appropriation bill will not be

The subcommittee hoped to conclude it in
time to lay before the full committee next
Monday morning and spent the greater part Of
today in furthering that effort.
1t became apparent, however, that they could
not complete the bill without scurrying through
1t to the dstriment Of some important provis-
ion, so 1t was decided to abandon the attempt
1t is probable that only one meeting Of the

will come up in the House much before the sec
ond week in January.
1t is understood that the aggregate Of the bill
will be less than the bill Of last session.
