tee is composed of Dollar a Year
men, some OF the most capable bust
ness men OF the nation, and he said
they are sitting tight in opposi-
ton to all expenditures other than
those absolutely necessary. They
did finally however, approve the
water supply proposition, the sani-
tary sewers, and agreed that SS5,000
for water main extensions was suf-
hcient and that sum might be al
lowed, with $4,000 for an inciner-
aying plant, but the storm sewer,
the barn and the Second ward park
proposition, did not fare so well.
The position taken by the advisory
board is that 1t will approve and en-
dorSe nothing until it is I liability
to city. In other words, the city
must go ahead and vote its bonds,
but before they can be sold they
would have TO have the approval OF
this board, just as all bond issues
must be approved by the attorney
general OF the state. Mr. Bass cited
4 few instances. lie said Mime
apolis asked for $6,000000 and was
allowed $lOO0,O00, while Nashville,
Tenn, was refused Il bond issue OF
$l,UOO,UOO ior city betterments which
its people believe TO be absolutely
necessary. Road bonds also are
meeting u great deal OF opposition.
lie said these men are not going to
do anything that will take one rail
road tram from government use or
keep one man from going to war,
The members OF the board said they
would grant water for city uses and
anything that will advance the pub
lie health but would not aid new
additions. When Mr.. Bass spoke OF
the manufacturing plants they asked
il these plants had government con
tracts Referring to the government
control OF railroads and how every
thing must give way to the move
ment Of freight, he said the Penn
syIyania Central passenger trains,
usually coming into Washington
with twelve sIeepers each, are now
running with tour, and that the
Baltimore & Ohio is doing the same.
