them in one article, where they will
be esaily found and memorized by

The new regulations. it is under
stood, will require applicants for
operating permits to apply to the

1t is expected that this session will
begin either late in March or early in
April.

Senate and House Conferees
on Jones-Mapes Bill Take
Up Various Proposals.

The conferees of the Senate and
House on the Jones-Mapes bill relat-
ing to the fiscal relations between the
government. at their first meeting to-
day discussed various proposals for
an adjustment of the controversy be-
tween the two houses.
Following the meeting hope was ex-
pressed by members of the conference
that it would be possible to reach an
agreement and bring about the en-
actment Of legislation which would

the District, which has continued for
the last decade.

The conferees will meet again
next week. At the conference today
were Senators Dillingham; of Vermont.

Utah, and Representatives Mapes Of
Michigan and Ben Johnson of KEN
lucky. Representative Focht of
pennsylvania, the third House con-
feree. was called out of town by ILL
ness in his family, and the next meet
ing will not be held until his return.
The Jones-Mapes bill was sent to
conference at the last session of Con-
gress. but the meeting was the first
held by the conferees. The bill as
passed by the House does away with
the half and-ha1f plan of appropri-
ating for the District. and provides
that the revenues of the District shall
be used, and that the government
shall add to these revenues whatever
sum Is needed to make up the ap-
preparation determined upon by Con-
gress.
The Senate substituted the Jones
bill. which restores the half-and-hal
plan, authorizes the use Of any sur
plus revenues that may have accrued
or may accrue in the future. and re-
moves the limitation now imposed
upon the District Commissioners not
to submit estimates for the District
in excess of twice the estimated rev.
eEues.
Chances Reported Brighter.
The same controversy over the fis-
cal relations between the District and
the federal government is involved in
the pending District appropriation
bill, which also has been sent to con-
ference. The conferees on the ap-
preparation bill, however, have been
inclined to walt and see if the con-
ferees on the Jones-Mapes bill can
reach an agreement.
It was said today that there was
more hope of an agreement being
reached on the Jones-Mapes bill, ap-
parently, than had been supposed.
