AGREEMENT
ON BONUS BILL
Representatives of Legion and
Veterans Before Com
mittee.

WASHINGTON, April 2j.-Represent-
atives Of the American Legion and the
Veterans Of Foreign Wars signified their
willingness to accept the new McCumber
substitute for the House soldiers "bo-
nus bill with some notifications"
when they reappeared today before the
Republican members Of the Senate En-
nance Committee.
General Woodside, commander in chief
of the Veterans Of Foreign Wars, acted
as chief spokesman for the ex-service
mems delegation in the absence of Han
ford MacNider. national commander of
the American Legion.
Woodside said that the Smoot paid up
insurance proposal which had been in
corporated in the McCumber substitute
bill will be satisfactory to him and his
associates if it includes borrowing pro-
vision
1t was suggested that ex service men be
authorized to use the Smoot paid-up
policy, which would mature at the end
OF twenty years, as collateral to obtain
loans from banks at the end of three or
five years. Several of the Republican
committee members were understood to
have opposed this, although Senator Nc
Cumber Of North Dakota. the committee
chairman. was reported to favor it.
WOodside and his companions also de-
clareG that they were willing to accept
the provision of the House bill which
would restrict a cash bonus to those ex-
service men entitled to $50 or less. Sen
ator McCumber has proposed that the
maximum cash payment be raised to 800.
1t was virtually agreed that the land
settlement provision of the House will be
eliminated and a new farm and home
feature, which is part of the new Nc
Cumber plan, should be substituted for
ii.
Senator watson of Indiana. Admins
tration spokesman, announced, after the
departure of the ex service mems repre-
sentatives. that he and the other Repub-
lican committee members intended to
work out final draft of the McCumbe
substitute as quickly as possible. The
service mems delegation was not ex-
pected to return again. it was stated, and
the committee members did not propose
to hold any further hearings on the pro-
posed bonus" legislation.

ELLIOTT ADVICE
AGAIN IGNORED
BY WORKS BODY
Board Finally Decides Not to
Eliminate Concrete as
Paving Material.

Records of the board OF public works
today disclosed that a recommendation
of John L. Elliott. city civil engineer,
again has been disregarded by the
board The resolution for the perma-
nent improvement Of Fiftieth street from
Pennsylvania street to Central avenue,
which was one of those in which Board
Member William II. Freeman and Or. NJ.
J. Spencer started TO eliminate concrete
from the specifications several weeks ago
again is the bone of contention.
After brisk fight in which there
were threats OF designations and finally
an appeal 10 Mayor Shank the board
decided not to eliminate concrete from
the specifications and the Fiftieth street
resolution went through with the ma
terials upon which bids were to lie re-
Ceived in the usual form.
Bids were received last week Mr..
Elliott Monday sent to the board a rec
ommednation that a preliminary order
for the use of two-course concrete on the
Improvement be made Bids had been re-
ceived upon two-course concrete and BIZ
luminous concrete.
Mr. Elliott said property owners in the
street petitoned for the use of two
course concrete and he thought the ma
teriai a satisfactory one for the par
ticular pavement.
The lowest bid on two-cOurse concrete
WAS that of the Columbia Construction
Company, figuring S218 a square yard.
The low bid on bituminous concrete was
s3.3S a square yard by tho Mansfield En-
gineering Company. These were the only
materials bid on.
Ignoring the engineers recommenda-
ton for two-course concrete the board
Monday rejected all bids.
Observers of board of works moves are
now trying to figure out why this was
done.
Charles E. Coffin, president of the
board, said the bids were rejected be
cause Mr.. Freeman thought a better ma
tcrial should be used. He thought it
ought to be asphalt"
