The Senate made number of

something over 100000, or about
100000 more than when it passed the

to investigate the cost of living of

In discussing this portion of the al
Legged debt the report says:
Governed by the various acts of

that exist between the United States
and the District of Columbia, and those
acts making appropriations affecting

Matter for Congress.

ITO us, as accountants" the Mayes
report says, "it is immaterial whether
Congress requires reimbursement to
the United States of the amount that
is found due from the District of Co
lumbia to the United States, because
the matter of adjustment is a matter
with which Congress alone has to deal.
I'VE would not at this time refer to
matters that do not particularly relate
to this account except for the fact
that January 81, 1914. there was pre-
scented to and unanimously adopted by
the Washington Board of Trade re-
port of the committee on municipal
finance in which report we have been
made the objects of a bitter attack
and denunciation. This report of the
committee on municipal finance Is not
only a reflection upon our integrity,
but also upon the integrity of the
House committee on the District Of
Columbia, and is reflection upon the
intelligence of not only the present
Congress, but of each and every Con-
gress assembled in the nations capt.
