Senator Thomas Sterling. of South

Civil Service Committee, stated last
night that the work of the sub
committee had been completed and
the report was ready. The full COM
mittee will be called to meet as
soon as practicable after the new
session begins. he said.
Although the hearings were held
several months ago, the report was
held back because of pressing mat
tiers before the Senate and the work
along the same lines being done
under the direction of Herbert D.
Brown. chief of the Bureau of Eff
ficiency. Mr.. Brown has been con-
ferring with various department
heads with regard to reclassifying
Federal employees under his plan,
and to a large extent executives
favor holding back any legislative
changes until all proposed methods
are thoroughly understood.

NO RELIEF IN SIGHT
Congress Not Likely to Pro-
vide Additional
Funds.

Fear of indefinite delay in COM
plotting the school program recently
authorized by Congress due to ex-
cessive bids on the part of con-
tractors, was expressed by the
board of District Commissioners
yesterday in announcing that the
lowest bids for construction of two
new school additions were far In
excess of the appropriation.
Yesterday the NJ. Serreto Com
pany of Boston offered the lowest
estimate, s94,400, for the erection
of a foureroom addition to the
Smothers School. This exceeds the
appropriation by $4,000. On We'd
nesday the same company was the
lowest bidder for an Eaton School
addition, but the figures were s1S.-
600 more than estimated by the
Commissioners.
No Relief Expected.
One of the Commissioners said
yesterday that the board does not
expect any more money from Con-
gress for school building purposes
and that the unexpected amount Of
the lowest bids of the last several
days began to make the problem
serious
While the bid of George Hyman
and James L. Parsons. of S206,l94
for broom addition to the
Wheatley School, is well under the
estimate of S250.O00. Commissioner
Keller yesterday expressed the
opinion that the amount which will
be saved on the Wheatley job can
not be used to make up the differ
ence between the bids and estimates
on the other schools. The Engineer
Commissioner states that the
Wheatley School addition is pro-
vided for under act of Congress sep
arate from the act appropriatins
more than 100000 for additions

which have been winterlike. the
telephone clerk at the commission
headquarters has been kept exceed
ingly busy recording complaints re-
garding the lack OF heat in apart
ments
Il am paying a great rent for this
apartment. and the lease states
that the heat is to be furnished by
my landlord, but that is the only
place that the heat is evident. My
apartment is as cold as an itehouse.
and I want to ask the commission to
do something to make the landlord
live up to his lease.
This, according to the telephone
clerk at the commission headquar-
tiers is the typical complaint which
is being lodged with the commits
sion by scores OF tenants each day.
To each Of these complaints the
commission refers the complainant
to the District Health once, where
authorities are detailed TO conduct
an investigation.
II the investigation proves that
the rent charged is eXorbitsnt and
the lease promises heat, when no
heat is furnished. the matter is re-
fcrred back TO the commission for
action. However. in most cases,
they claim the landlords immedi-
ately furnish the desired heat in
order that the case will not be put
into the hands of the commissioners
