gress yesterday by the District Commits
sioners upon the draft of a bill TO
amend the act to better define and regu-
late tine rights of aliens to hold and

"A bill substantially similar to this, -
say the Commissioners, was introduced
in both Houses of Congress during the
first session of the Fifty-sixth Congress
at the instance of the Commissioners.
The Commissioners we're led to reauest
its enactment by the frequency with
which individual bills for the relief of
aliens holding real estate in the District
Of Columbia had been presented. and
the fact that they had invariably been
the subject of favorable report by the
Commissioners and of action by Con-
gress"
