HOUSE HEARING
To OPEN DEC. Is
ON D. {. BUDGET
Plans Call for Framing of Bill
in January and Presenta-
ton About Feb. I.

Announcement was made today by
Congressman Davis, chairman Of the
House subcommittee on District ap-
preparations, that hearings on the
District appropriation bill will open
December Is.
The plans Of the subcommittee call
for the framing of the bill during
January and its presentation to the
House about February l. Members
of the subcommittee, it was indicated,
are keeping in close touch with the
District hearings before General
Lord, director of the budget, and
probably will follow the recommenda-
tiOns of the budget buerau as far as
they can.
In the Senate no plans have yet
been made for the consideration IF
the District bill. Senator PhippS,
chairman of the Senate subCommit.
tee, is now at his home in Denver.
1t Is understood that nothing will be
done on the District bill in the Sen
ate until after the House completes
its work.
Senator Phipps anticipates that a
final determination of the question
involved in the Districts $5,000,000
surplus in the Federal Treasury will
be reached before the District ap-
preparation bill is passed by either
house. If the verdict rendered by
the joint Congressional committee
on the Treasury surplus is favorable
TO the Districts claim, the entire Dis.
triCt bill will be affected by it.
The prevailing opinion among Dis
triCt Committee members is that any
surplus funds belonging to the Dis
triCt should he applied to the re-
habilitation of the public school sys-
TEN and the restoration Of the
streets and avenues.
