| Senate at this session by the District
committee all have been passed but
three. and two of these were reported only
| last week and stand good chance of
! getting through before adjournment. One
of these two is to provide for the incorpora-
ton of banks in the District. and the
other is for the establishment of home

the District

| calendar is Senator Burketts bill to re-
| organize the public school system. Since

| to reach it. and 1t is conceded to have
| very little chance of passage, owing to
the pressure of other business and the
strong opposition of many senators to its
| provisions.
