this morning 70 discuss the bin for tracks

certain that bill providing for the inn

for the construction of the permanent
line along Florida avenue 10 Eighth
street northeast thence to Pennsylvania
avenue southeast. VIII be reported Also
it seems quite likely that. following the
action Of the Senate. no fare or transfer
clause will be included in the bill.
That such amendments will be offered
when the bill gets to the House is as
sured Mr. Madden will insist upon the
transfers. and so will Mr.. Sims. of Ten
nessee. unless both are convinced the
matter may be taken UP later and that
the present consideration of the amend
ments will preclude the possibility of the
construction Of the tracks at an early
date
The members Of the committee. il is

get a bill that will stand the test in a
conference with the Senate committee.
