The city, 1t Is said. has arranged
with the traction companies whereby
the City railway and the Wheeling
Ira ction company Will use the same
track on Market street from the creek
bridge to Eleventh street, thereby
eliminating the present southbound
track OF the City Railway company.
Council will probably award the
contract for the Market street paving

within the next three weeks. The

All City Railway company cars Will
come up Market street TO Eleventh,

homa. Mr.. Chandler was absent,
but Chairman Fordney voted his
proxy.
On the ballot to report out a bill
without any revenue provisions, the
sub committee was said to have
divided as follows: In favor of:
Fordney. Frear, COpley, Timbcriake
and Chandler: against: Longworth,
Bacharach. Treadway and Watson.
Four members of the sub commit
tee were reported to have favored
further postponement of bonus
legislation In the belief that in time
the problem of finance would solve
itself. Postponement is opposed,
however. by a big majority of the
committee and also by many mem
bers Of the House. Chairman Ford
ney reiterated that bonus would
be passed at this session and other
committeeman expressed the same
view.
Some supporters Of a sales tax ex-
pressed the view today that President
Harding might again take a hand in
the bonus controversy. They thought
1t was the committees intention to
report out legislation based on the
proceeds from the refunded foreign
bonds and said that the President
had expressed disapproval of such
legislation.
Leaders Of the house Republicans
90 >;
Gus campaign against this form of
levy before the sub committee met
today to resume it's consideration of
the financing problem. They said tn ;
ranks of opponents had been swelled
considerably within the past two
days and that whatever doubt there
might have been about the result of
the issue in the house had been re-
moved.
1t became known today that Repre-
sentatives Frcar and Dickinson of
Iowa and Woodruff of Michigan. call

day and frankly laid before him the
whole situation, placing emphasis on
its political aspects. They We're I'M
derstood to have contended that a
sales tax would O1use general disga :

would make the soldiers bonus ex-
trernely unpopular with the people
and might result in nolitical upheav-
ais in many normally solid Republic
an districts.
Those favoring the passage of d
bonus bill without any provision for
raising the revenue said such legis-
lation could be followed by another
bill giving the secretary of the treas
| ury authority to use proceeds from
the refunded foreign bonds in paying
the bonus. They said the expecta-
ton now was that some. at least, OF
! the foreign bonds, would be in hand
by June or July and that money
| could be realized on them before the
, cash payments to the former service
men would become due.
