ditions now existing. He pointed out

Street Widening Discussed.

The Senate returned to the committee
amendment passed over last evening at
the request of Senator MARITIME Of New
Jersey. which would suspend until
further action by Congress that part of
the appropriation law for the current
year which provides for the widening of
18th street between Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and F street northwest. Senators
maintained that there was no neces-
sity for widening the street, and that to
do SO would merely cause the New Will
lard Hotel to lose some $4,000 by the
elimination Of the cellar which 1t has
constructed under the sidewalk.
Replying to a question by Senator
Norris. Senator MARITIME said that 25 to
80 feet had been taken out of the road
way. The Willard Hotel, he said. had
excavated under the extended sidewalk
and installed veritable machine shop.
He regarded this as a discrimination
against other property owners.
Senator Robinson said 1t would cost
$4,000 to abolish this cellar, as all of
the hotels machinery is established
there.
Senator Smith of Maryland said that
the property pays an equivalent for the
privilege through the assessment on
the increased value of it's property.
