GARBAGE DISPOSAL BILL

The House bill authorizing the District
Commissioners to acquire or lease plants
for the disposal of garbage and refuse
in the District Of Columbia Has passed
by the Senate today without amendment.
The bill now goes to the President for

Chairman John Walter Smith Of the

the bill from the committee and asked
for its consideration. and Senator Gal
linger Of New Hampshire both ex-
planned that the passage Of the bill was
a matter of immediate importance to
the capital.
The District Commissioners have ex-
planned that they were meeting difficulty
in having contracts for the disposal Of
garbage renewed and continued. Under
the bill passed today the Commission
ers are authorized. If the contractors
fail to continue the work, to acquire
their plants and to dispose Of the gar
