CH|LDLAbOR BILL
Senator's Previous Engagement
HaIts Consideration of Cur
tbs Measure for Week.
The Senate District Committee was

The Senate District Committee was
unable to resume consideration OF
the Curtis Child Labor bill today
owing to the absence of Senator
Pomerene and others who were de-
tanned by previous engagements.
The committee, however. turned to
its grist of minor bills and reported
four of them to the Senate favorably.
The most important of these is
measure introduced last May ito pro-
vide for the redistribution OF general
taxes and special assessments que
and payable on real estate in the Dis
trict of Columbia, in cases of subdi-
visions or sales of land therein.
This bill provides in effect that
Whenever there is subdivision or
any part of land 1 nthe District dur
ing the month of July, August, Sep
TENDER, October, November or De-
cember, the general tax due upon
such land for prior years and for the
first half fthe current fiscal year
shall then be paid before such subdi-
vision shall be admitted to record In
the office of the surveyor or the DIS
trict
II also provides that the general
tax thereon for the final half Of the
fiscal year shall be payable the fol-
lowing May.
The bill granting corporations or
ranized in the District authority 10
change their names also was reported
fayorably. 1t provides that the con-
sent of two-thirds of the stockholders
shall be necessary before a change
OF name is permitted.
A measure introduced last Wecem-
Der ito provide for the conveyance
of lots on the lowlands Of the Dis
trict of Columbia" also was approved.
This bill is an amendment to the or
ganic act OF 1879 and is routine in
character.
The fourth bill reported by the COM
mittee today authorizes the Commits
sioners to close upper Water street,
between 21st and 22nd streets north
west. This land Is to be transferred
TO the Chef of Engineers, U. S. Army,
as a part of the park system OF the
District.
These bills now go to the Senate
calendar, but are not ligely to be
acted upon during the remaining
month OF the present session. The
District Committee will hold its regu-
lar meeting next Monday, and an ef-
fort will be made to obtain action
on the Child Labor Bill at that time
