Senator Allison In Opposition to Present Appropria-
ton MeaSure-Attitude May Cause Defeat.

The water debt was paid by the Dis
trict in instaIIments extending over a
period of twenty-five years, the pay
ments taken from surplus revenues
That is not dissimilar to the plan ad-
yanced in the Babcock bill, only the
water debt was left with the list OF
District current expenses. and Congress-
advanced the sum needed to meet the
total
That is Senator AIIfson's idea exactly.
He realizes that With appropriations
made for The union station. District
building. filtration plant. Anacostia fats
improvements. sewage disposal system,
and other extraordinary expenses, the
District would not nearly be able to
meet its half. even i nothing was needed
for current expenses. But the Senator
believes that if Congress makes ap-
preparations for all these, and for cur
rent needs of the District the proper
plan would be to add them all together
and make an appropriation for the total
He thinks. further. that the District
in twenty years would easily be able
to wipe out the advancement from the

Senator Allison objects TO the segre-
CATION of District appropriations for
extraordinary projects from the sums to
be appropriated Tor current expenses.
This amounts to opposition TO the $40
ooo. 600 loan Tor the District, which is
provided for in a bill introduced in the
House by Representative Babcock
It is feared the attitude OF the chair
man Of the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee. coupled with similar views held
by Representative Cannon. chairman of
the Appropriations Committee in he
House. dooms to defeat the bill for ohe
financial relief of the District
The position OF Senator Allison was
made plain this morning when Auditor
Petty called upon him in connection
with revenues for the District, The
Senator said he was not at ali in sym
pa-hy with the measure, and that he
does not believe it practicable. The
separation of the accounts in the man
ner prescribed by the BahcoCk bill fails
most in meeting the approval OF the
chairman Of the Senate Appropriation
Committee but at the same time he is
not disposed to leave the District
financially embarrassed by the failure
of the measure. He has another pan
in view.
Briefly he proposes aid from the Gov
arnment Identical with that subscribed
