A proposition whereby milk con-

Of milk in the District was submitted
today to the special subcommittee in
vestigating milk porfiteering in this

Congressman Frank C. Millspaugn,

suggested that legislation be enacted
providing for the appointment of a
salaried consumers representative wno

the cost of production, distribution and
other things entering into the price

clared Millspaugh.
II would have this man some one
who Is not or never has been in the
employ Of the Health Department.
TO investigating the various assertions
made by dairy farmers and milk
dealers"
Congressman Millspaugh declared
this man should act as arbiter in all
differences between producers and
dealers.
H. L. Black. of the Attorney Dairy
was asked IL he favored legislation
to this effect.
1T would be q good thing for the
consumer and believe that the Off

dealer In many ways, with a resultant
saving of many dollars" he replied.
Mr.. Black presented to the com

CHANGES
INVOKED
Ash Collection Revised to Re-
quire Fees for Removal
After July.
BY DAN e, O'CONNELL.

BY DAN e, O'CONNELL.
Never b fore in the history Of
District appropriations have so
many limitations been put on the
District officials by Congress.
Ash Collection Change.
The collection of ashes and miscel-
laneous refuse from apartment houses
will cease after July 1. next, accord.
ing to the appropriations bill. Here
tofore 1t was specified only large
apartment houses and boarding houses
but now the management Of apart
ment houses will be forced to pay for
the removal Of ashes and refuse.
Echoes of the fight between the
District Commissioners and George
Lyman, the unsuccessful bidder Of the
Eastern High School contract, are
sounded In a limitation put into the
school building appropriation. Hyman
built the foundation for the school
and was the lowest bidder for the
superstructure. The Commissioners
turned down his bid and awarded the
contract to the next highest bidder.
Lyman started court proceedings.
The appropriation bill provided
that not any Of the money appro-
priated shall be paid or obligated to.
ward the construction OF or addition
to any building the whole and the
entire construction Of which shall not
have been awarded in a single con-
tract to the lowest bidder complying
with all the legal requirements as to
the deposit Of money or the execution
of a bond, or both, for the faithful
performance Of the contract" The
act provides, however. that this limita-
ton shall not apply to any contract
already awarded, or impair the legal
rights Of an unsuccessful bidder.
Sinking Fund Change.
One of the provisions IN the Bln
Is puzzling the legal fraternity OF the
District. 1t Is the proviso in the COM
pensatSsm of Jurors contained In the
appropriation for the police court. The
bin says that none Of the money ap-
propriated in this act shall be avail
able for the payment OF Jurors fees
unless the actual cost of the trial jury
be taxed as a part of the costs, and
tho Judgment rendered thereof, to be
paid by the unsuccessful itigant;"
provided further, that no person in
default of payment shall be imprisoned
On that account.
, In the police court there are hun
dreds of jury cases every year, ana
some interpret the provision in the
! new bill to mean that persons ask
ing for jury trials will have to pay
the jurors fees II they are convicted.
The appropriation for the interest
and sinking fund is also changed so
Shat the Federal Government will
hereafter only pay 40 per cent of the
money. Heretofore 1t has paid 80
DER cent. The amount of 100000 Is
appropriated for this purpose. with
The proviso that no part Of the money
n TO be available for the redemption
of any bonds above their par value
plus accrued interest. Last year
$97b,408 was appropriated to pay off
the bonded debt of the District. The
bonded debt Of the District is now
slightly more than 100000. and will
be paid off at the present rate in
August, 1924, making Washington
probably the only city of its size in
this country without a debt.
