WEEKS DISAPPR0VES
OF CHANGING NAME OF
GEORGETOWN BRIDGE

Changing the name of the new
bridge across the Potomac, at
Georgetown, from the George
town bridge" to 1.-The Francis Scott
Key bridge" is not favored by the
Secretary of War. who has juris-
diction over the structure. Repre-
sentative Kahn of the House mill
tary affairs committee recently
asked him for report on the joint
resolution providing for the
change of name indicated.
In replying to Mr.. Kahn today.
Secretary Weeks explained that
the bridge had been informally
given the name of Francis Scott
Key bridge" but that Congress, in
June. 1920. in making an appropri-
alton for continuing work on the
: bridge had directed that the
bridge should thereafter be known
as the Georgetown bridge"
Congress therefore," said Mr..
Weeks. 'is on record as having
disapproved the name Francis
Scott Key bridge and stated that
1t preferred the name of George
town bridge Under these circum-
stances 1t seems inadvisable to
make any change, and / do not see
my way clear to give favorable
recommendation for the passage of
the pending bill"

AWAIT U. S. QUOTATIONS

The first steps toward obtaining
an ADEQUATE supply of fuel for Wash
ineton this winter was taken today
when Commi ssioners Oyster and kel-
ler conferred for two hours at the
District building with thirty Of the
representative coal dealers of Wash
ington.
A tentative priority list which will
govern the distribution Of coal during
the prospective emergency was un-
derstood to have been agreed upon
at this conference. Consumers are
divided into IA classes. with public
utilities given priority. Hospitals and
asylums are second on the list. Other
consumers follow in the order:
Bakeries, ice plants and dairies, resi-
dences and apartment houses. office
buildings, laundries.
It was reliably learned when the
conference adjourned for lunch that
the coal men compared with the Com
missioners the estimates previously
made by both groups as TO the
amount of coal needed and the order
In which they should be given pri-
ority.
The coal men left the meeting with
tho understanding that they would
meet among themselves at 1 o'clock

questions brought out this morning.
They will return to the District build

the administration does on the ques-

margin of profit for Washington.
In considering the needs Of Wash

of both hard and soft coal, which is

100000 SLASHED
FROM ESTIMATES
1923 District Budget Finally
Boiled Down to
s27,7oo,000.

The District estimates for the fis-
cal year beginning July 1, 1928. have
been boiled down to approximately
s27,7oo, 900, according to reliable in
formation obtained today.
This figure, it was said. makes al

which are chargeable partly to Dis
trict revenues.
Last week when the estimates were
completed by tho various depart

1t was learned today that this figure
was further Increased by an item OF
about 100000 for continuing the
Rock Creek Park project and about
$4,000 for the Rent Commission.
This brought the original figure up
to s31.700.o00 in round numbers.
It was learned today that the cut

and by the federal agencies which
come under the city appropriation
hill, amounted to 100000 in round
numbers, leaving the total estimates
at this time $27, 100000.
