AGREES TOPAY
HALF INTEREST
FOR TURNPIKE
Common Council Adopts Or
dinance at Meeting
Last Night
is $4,000 A YEAR
Expected That Total TO Be Paid Will
Not Exceed S35 5,000-Aldermer to
Act Tuesday.

An ordinance providing that the
city pay one-half of the interest
charges for the county Of Fairfax in
connection with a bond issue for
S5OO,000 to build road between this
city and Fairfax Courthouse, a dis
tance of fourteen miles. was adopted
by vote of II to 0 at called meet
ing of the common council held last
night.
The ordinance will on Tuesday
night come before the board Of al
dcrmen for final action
It among other things provides FOR
an appropriation of $4,000 a year
for period no; to exceed five ycars
to pay onc-half of the interest
charges on the bond issue for this
road
The county of Fairfax will be re,
imburscd the principal within a per.
iod five years without interest.
The purpose Of the meeting was
explained by President Burke. wn"
among other things said the money
already had been appropriated by
the city council. but a slight change
in the original ordinance was necea-
sary. Mr. Burke said he thought the
city would not have to pay more
than $4,000 which is about SlO,O0O
less than they expected to pay. Il
was further explained by Mr. Burke
that the ordinance would have to be
adopted as it stood or not at all The
old papcr provided for An amount not
to exceed S45 O0G and limit to th>
new paper is $4,000.
1t is regarded as highly probable
that the aldermen Tuesday night will
act favorably on the proposition
Favorable action by city council is
the last step toward the actual con-
strution of the road. .
The building of this roadway will
he big help to the commercial IN
tercsts Of the city and bring to the
city considerable business that IS
now diverted to Washington.
Representative of the chamber ot
commerce, city officials and others
interested in the upbuilding of the
city for some time past have worked
untiringly in the interest of the con-
struction of this highway.
Just as soon as the board of alder
men acts favorably on the measure
the bonds will be issued by Fairfax
county and the work of construction
started.

Bids for the new public school
building which is to be erected on the
Alexandria High School lot will be
opened at 4 o'clock this afternoon ir
the office Of the city engineer, +. G.
Dunn.
Some time ago the city council ap-
propriated the sum of $4,000 for the
erection of the proposed buildlng
Plans and specifications were pre-,
pared by the city engineer.
1t is estimated that between fifteen
and twenty builders and contractors
secured the plsns and specifications
Thus far two bids have been submit
ted. 1t was, however, explained today
that most of those who viii bid will
come in person with their bids this
afternoon.
City Engineer Dunn stated today
that he hardly thought any of the bids
which will be submitted will come
within the appropriation. it being be-
lieved that most of them will be great
~ in excess of the amount appropri
ated in council for its erection. In
the latter event the committee ir
charge simply will withhold awarding
the contract and go back to the city
! council and ask for an additional ar-
preparation, and in all probability will
recommend TO council the bid to be
accepted.
The committee is anxious to get tho
matter disposed Of as quickly as pos,
sible in order that the new school
building may be started and complet-
ed by next September, which will oc
the beginning of the new scholasti:

The proposed building will be two
stories high and contain total ci
IT class rooms, and will be erected
adjoining the high school building. i
will not have any auditorium.

TREATY COMES
Up FOR Final.
ACTION TODAY
Senate Committee Agrees on
New Compromise Reser-
vations on Pacific
HARDING APPROVES
Opposed to Alliance With Powers,
Armed Force and Joint Defense
Provisions.

Washington, Feb. 25.-An agree.
ment for final committee action today
on the four-power Pacific treaty was
reached by Senate leaders after the
Administration forces and a group OF
Republican reservationists had unitec
in support of new compromise reser'
vation.
The compromise was laid before the
committee by Senator Brandegee, re
publican, Connecticut, after a confer
ence with President Harding. 1t aims
TO be substitute both for the com
promise suggested yesterday by Sen
ator Lodge, the committee CHAIRMAN
and for the reservation previously
presented by Senator Brandegee, 641
said to have been found unacceptable
to the White House.
Committee members understood that
the new draft would be satisfactory
to Mr.. Harding and predicted that 1t
would be given approval at todaF
meeting.
The text of the compromise reserva-
tion follows:
The United States understands
that under the statement in the
preamble or under the terms OF
this treaty there is no commit
ment to armed force, no alliance
no obligation to join in any de-
fense. ;.
The only opposition to the draft
from the Republican side OF the COM
uittee is said to have come from Sen
ators Johnson, California, and Borah,
Idaho, who contended that it, did not
sufficiently disclaim any moral or legal
obligation to maintain" the rights
of the other treaty signatories and
did not give to Congress the right to
pass on all adjustments reached un-
der the treaty provisions.
Both of these restrictions We're set
forth specifically in the original Bran
degee proposal.
On the Democratic side Senator
Pomerene, of Ohio, was said to have
led the fight against the reservation,
moving to eliminate the words no al
lance" on the ground that to include
them was to deny directly the Ian
guage of the treaty itself.
His motion still was pending when
the committee adjourned with unanl-
NOUS agreement to vote today on
the treaty itself, and all proposed
resolutions. :
Meantime at the: White House it
was said that President Harding still
saw not the slightest occasion for
any reservation on the four-power
treaty. There is one very simple OBJ
lection to a reservation, it was said,
and that is that: if this Government
cannot do things. designed to promote
understandings and bring nations into
accord without having such things
vetoed by Congress or the Senate it
will be in very poor position to ac-
complish anything in the world.
