Wants All Bills to Be
Published in Newspapers

A proposal that all bills affecting the
District be published in full in the
newspapers and hearings held has been
filed with the Commissioners by Presi-
dent W. NICK. Clayton. Of the Fedora
ton OF Citizens Associations. He re-
quests that the Commissioners urge
Congress to adopt this course, on the
ground that at present the public knows
or hears very little of measures Of great
Importance to them that are hurried
through to enactment. Commissioner
Rudolph declares opposition to the plan
He says that copies of all bills affecting
the District can now be obtained by
citizens and that there is no danger Of
measures being rushed" through. He
believes that the advertising of all
measures would put a heavy burden on
the taxpayers without giving any ma
terial benefit.
