OF its passage by The Herald. the meat
Of the bill is contained in the following
paragraph:
THE assessments herein provided for
shall be levied and paid for in the fol-
lowing manner. namely. Where the
width OF the roadway actually to be
paved is forty feet or less between the
curbs, or between the cutters, where no
curbs exist, after deducting the amount
required to be paved by the railway COM
panfes, the total cost Of the work, In
Guiding the expenses of assessments shall
be assessed against the abutting prop
erty owners one-half to each side; where

the cost of paving the remaining por-
tion of said street. including the cost of
intersections, shall be paid for by the
government OF the District Of Columbia
out OF funds available for that purpose"
Cuts Out Salary Increases.
The most important changes made
yesterday in the bill were the results of
points OF order by Representative Fowler,
OF Illinois, who looks like a musical COM
edy deacon. talks like a circus ballyhoo
and made the proud boast three years
ago, while discussing the wages of gov
ernment charwomen. that he had never
seen silk stocking in his life. Mr..
Fowler succeeded in cutting out all in
creases in salary for the Pubic library
Representative MondeH attempted to
have incorporated in the bill provision
for the Commissioners recommendation
for large municipaI warehouse, but the
was ruled out as new legis-
lation.

BIZ Considered All DAT.

The Senate took up the consideration
of the bill shortly after it met at 10
O'Clock yesterday. 1t looked at the time
the Senate met as If the bill could be
passed within an hour or two. But this
prospect was pispelled later when amend

rejected.

pealed to the Democrats to make q

Strengthen the reserve features.
Senator Burton sought, by amend
ment, to cut out the denominations OF
reserve notes below IS, but this was
rejected.
While the bill was being perfected
in the Senate, rumors OF Democratic
dissension on the floor were rife. Sem
ator Newlands got off the reservation,
as usual, and was circulating a petit
ton for a caucus last night. But he
was unable to get the leaders to agree
with him, and later voted for the bill.
In doing so, he expressed the hope that
the conference would improve the op-
portunity afforded it ito make a per-
feet bill"
Trouble Over Conferees.
Another source of trouble among the
Democrats was the appointment OF con-
ferees. Senator OGorman. second in
rank on the Banking and Currency
Committee, was entitled to the place
under the plan of appointing only two
Democratic Senators and one Repub-
lican as conferees. But Senator Owen
was unwilling to have Senator o'Gor-
man serve and had planned to have
Senator Pomerene, of Ohio, named.
Senator O'Gorman's friends protested.
and a hasty conference was called OF
the Democratic members of the Bank
ing Committee, and the problem was
finally solved by allowing all of the
six Democrats on the committee, ex-
cept Senator Hitchcock, to act at con-
ferees, and increasing the Republican
representation to three.
A sigh of relief went up with the pas
sage of the bill and the prospect that 1t
will be finally disposed of early next
week. II is nearly a year since this
legislation was incubated. The hearings
