ing the week.
Washington, March 29--The sundry
civil appropriation bill probably will
consume the major portion of the time
Of the house this week. The bin will
precipitate general opposition on the
democratic side because of the fact al
ready pointed out that for all continuing
work now under contract niver and har-
Dor and public buildings work.. the bill
carries appropriations for only eight
months, This is an entirely new depar-
ture. and will bring up general discus
sion of appropriation all along the
line.

Inmates. In the odds and ends which
make up the sundry civil bin members

| committee has declined to recommend
| in accordance with the estimates the
members Interested can be relied upon

The intention of Chairman Hit of the

! The leaders of the house are bending
all their efforts to hasten the appropri-
