ing Bill

Washington, d. c.. Jan. S--The Walsh
Pittman oil and coal land leasing bill
was passed by the Senate late yester
day by vote of 81 to 30. 1t now goes
to the House
The oil land leasing bill has been pend
ing in the Senate for four years. Its
passage at this session was made posi-.
BILE by an agreement to eliminate from
its provisions the naval oil reserves.
which was urged by the navy depart
ment. A separate bill providing for the
operation of these reserves by the gov
ernment, the leases of the present claim
ants being obtained either through con.
demnation proceedings or by direct pur-
chase, is being framed now and will be
introduced as soon as approved by Pres
ident Wilson.
Consideration of the Pittman bill was
begun in the Senate prior to the holi-
days, but under an unanimous consent
agreement, final vote was not taken
until late yesterday.
As finally passed, the bill provides for
the general leasing of coal, phosphate,
oil, gas and sodium lands by the secre.
tary OF the interior, with royalties to be
paid to the government, and for purchase
of the lands by lessees under certain
conditions. With the exception of the
provision to open naval reserve No. 2 in
California which was eliminated the bill
was passed virtually as introduced.
