Action of Commissioners on Pending
Appropriations.

In reports forwarded to Congress today
the Commissioners make recommendations
on several matters of legislation affecting
sioners recommend favorable action on the
bill to provide for the payment of certain
claims against the District for alleged dam-
ages resulting from the injury to or de-
struction of private property in the tear
ing down of the Northern Liber1y market.
The Commissioners state that in view of
the fact that nearly 500 claimants for dam
old market house have had their claims
adjudicated and paid. it would seem that
the eight persons named in the bill Under
consideration should be entitled to their
day in court.
The Commissioners suggest several
amendments in the wording OF the bill.
Favorable action is recommended Oil the
amendment intended to be proposed by
Senator Gallinger to the District appro-
priation bill striking out the words law
clerk" and substituting the words fourth
assistant corporation counsel" on page 5,
line s. of the bill The Commissioners state
that il is desirable that this change in
title be made. as the present deSigna ton
of the official is misleading ard embarrass-
ing to the conduct of the business of the
office of the corporation counsel.
The District authorities also favor the
enactment of the amendment intended to
District appropriation bill. which has for
its object the increasing of the amount for
the Improvement of the harbor and Po-
tomac river front to 50 coo. This was the
amount included in the Commissioners es-
Inmates for the fiscal year 1905.
