MEASURES FOR DC.
| WAIT ON CONGRESS
Delayed Appropriations and
Grant of Representation
important.
HOPE OF EARLY ACTION

| Many matters of vital interest to
| the District of Columbia are expected
| to be dealt with through legislation
at the session of Congress which
opens tomorrow. The annual District
appropriation bill. which failed at the
last session of Congress. will be one
of the firse measures to occupy at
tention. There is great need of it's
early enactment into law. if for no
other reason than to provide funds
| for cleaning Washington's streets.
| The Commissioners have been out of
funds for this purpose for about two
months. The bill carries between
fourteen and fifteen million dollars
ing fiscal year
Provision for Representation.
The most important measure for the
! District. from a purely Legislative
point of view, likely TO come before
Congress is the joint resolution pro-
posing an amendment to the Consi:,u-
/ ton granting to the people of the Dis
! trict the right to vote for presiden-
tial and vice presidential electol'; and
to elect representatives in the House
and Senate. The demand for this leg
! isiation has grown insistent through
i out the District. A resolution 10 this
effect has been introduced in the SEN
ate in two previous congresses by Sem
ator Chamberlain Of oregon, and it IL
| likely he will introduce similar reso-
| luton in the new Congress. Also it will
be introduced in the House.
Betterment of Public Utilities.
Legislation looking to betterment in
| the public utilities in the District may
gress are much interested in the I'm.
provement of the street car system
here, and also in ascertaining the real
situation with regard to the tele-
phone company, which, under govern
ment control has recently increased
Some effort also will he made to
prevent profteering in rents in the
District, which 1t is feared will fol-
low the expiration Of the Salisbury
act on the proclamation Of peace
| This question Is being given consid-
GRAFTON by members of both houses in
the hope that some solution may be
found.
Clerks Retirement Measure.
Civil service retirement legislation
for the employees Of the District and
federal governments is in reality
local issue so far as the District of
Columbia is concerned, in view of the
| fact that Uncle Sam has upward of
! 100, 900 employees here. The measure
known as the Notwithstanding bill,
with some notifications, will be press
| ed for passage at the coming session,
and its supporters hope to put 1t
through.

AUTO CLUB NOTES
ROAD CONDITIONS

In a recent circular the Automobile
Club Of Southern California advises
that motorists do not attempt to make
the trip between the valley and Los
Angeles by the Brawley- Mecca route
as that road is exceptionally rough
and sandy. 1t is reported that num-
Der Of machines have been stalled on
the road causing considerable diff
Guilty and uncomfort to the travellers.
1t is also advised that the plank
road to Yuma is dangerous at this
time on account of the drifting sands
which make it practically impossible.
The San Diego road is reported to be
in excellent condition and the Auto
club advises that the Descansno route
Is preferable. The road from INLAND
to Yuma is considered in fair con-
dition although sandy and cry hot,
while the roads in the valley are re-
ported to be good with the exception
of a few rough sopts.
