HAS BEEN APPROVED
Opponents of Measure Present Their
Objections to the President With
cut Making an Impression.

The President has approved the meas
ure providing for cleaning of snow and
Ice from walks in the District. This
action was decided on today at
a hearing which the President accorded
to opponents of the bnl. The result OF
il was that the enemies Of the measure
withdrew their objections and the Presi-
dent viii sign 1t without delay.
Those at the conference in the Presi-
dents Office were Representative Bah

tee: Commissioner mcfarland. William
p. Kellogg. and H. r. Dulany. repre-
senting real estate interests, and c. &.
Glover president of the Riggs National
Bank Messrs. Kellogg and Dulany
voiced their objections. These were
principally that the bill was too severe,
in that il provides an alternative pen
atty OF q - fine or imprisonment and
that the time allowed for cleaning
walks was too short The fact that the
Attorney General has neiG the bill con-
stitutiORai and that Congress and the
Commissioners believe the measure just,
disposed the President to approve 1t.
