this question which have been pre-
sented, your committee does not jeei
justified In recon nlendtng that the
matter OFT the cost of erecting this
Court Of Appeals building should be
reopened.
This item. us well as those which
follow, has bseH brought to the at
tention of your committee in the con-
duct OF it's hearings. but was not com
mented upon In, the various reports
hereinbefore refeaTed to.
missioners Of the District of Colum-
bia for the year 1SS6 tpage $50 refers
to q Judgment of S5.749.47, secured in
the old case of the District VS.. the
Metropolitan Railway Company for
paving done in the years 1871 to 1875.
The entire amount was paid to the
collector OF taxes Of the District, and
the case closed. w..
1t will be observed that the greater
portion of this transaction arose prior
to 1874. and that the work was all done
some time before 1878 Under the
head of item No. 2, of this title, your
committee takes the position that all
of these assets prior to 1873, even If
uncollected. were to 60 to the District
under the provisions of the organic act
This case apparently falls in that cate
CORY.
8. Section z of the act Of May 1S
1918, provides for 2n appropriation of
| $4,000 for the repair and maintenance
Of the old Acqueduct bridge until the
bridge. provided for in this same act
should be completed. This money for
such repair and maintenance was ap-
propriated solely out Of federal funds
Costs of Bridge.
| In the preceding six sections OF
the chapter detailed reference is made
to the erection of the new bridge, and
what was appropriated in these sec
| tions was to be apportioned on the
| $3.50 basis. The amount appropriat-
ed to begin construction was $780,

1t seenns evident to your committee
that the Congress clearly intended
that the amount of $4,000 for repair
and maintenance wasSo be paid by
the United States.
9. The reclamation of that portion
of Potomac Park on which the
speedway has been built has also
your committee. This reclamation
project extended over a period of
years and was, of course. directly
under the control of War Department
engineers. 1t was paid for by the
District shared proporionately in
the building and maintenance of the
Improvements constructed thereon,
such as the speedway itself.
Concerning the primary purpose or
original object of this reclamation
project there may be some question.
One leading reason which has been
assigned is the improvement of navi-
CATION in the Potomac river, while
sanitation may also have had some
thing to do with the matter. After
consideration of the facts as dis
closed, your committee does not be-
lfeve that 1t was the intention to
call upon the District to share in
this expense, or that any proportion
of same should be charged at this
time. However, IT was deemed proper

Some Contentions.
Certain witnesses have contended
that this language properly includes
All expenditures made by the United
states for maintaining. upbuiIding
and identifying the District since
July i, 1874. whether or not the same
had ever been considered by the Con-
gress as in any way affecting the
fiscal relations between the District
of, Columbia and the United States:
and that it includes such activities
az the erection of the Lincoln
the Congressional Library and yari-
ous other large expenditures.
AT least one of the witnesses has
declared that. while it was not in
cumbent upon the committee to
recommend that such items as the
der the above language, as matters
10 which the $3.50 or 60-40 ratio was
nroperly applicable. yet II was the
duty OF the committee to report on
all such items for the consideration
of the Congress in the determ in tion
OF this question.
Another witness, Representative
Johnson OF Kentucky. after mention
ing the Lincoln Memorial and similar
public works. states that 'It is my
tho Congressional Library. and every
thing in It. and 3 per cent Interest.
must be Offset against any claim of
surplus. This language is mighty
plain, when you come to read it care
fu1ly.''
Other witnesses have insisted with
equal emphasis that such things

niknt IN a report on the fiscal rela>

Lots of travelling statesmen do it,

Think Of the touring that is done.

KNIGHT RIDERS RAID
ING ARIZONA TOWNS

The raid of the knight Riders was
started with the initiation into the
order of John North WHY'S, president
of the WHY'S Overland Company
A snow white Willys-Knight car
has been specially equipped to carry
the knight Riders on their raids
which are reported to be dealing
total devastation to Doubling Thom-
aseS.
Cohorts of picked knights, he'll
meted and encased in coats of mail
may be seen riding raucously around
every night now, spreading the con-
tagious gossip about the new WHY'S
knights and Overland cars.
The white 'Willys-Knight and it's
contingent of armored knights" in
vaded several small town last week
and led a number of curious motor
lists a merry chase all over the coun-
try.
The real motive of the Knight Rid
ers' raids is to induce more motor
;sts to become members of the order,
the Grand Axle explained. Qualifi-
cations are simple he says. All a
candidate needs to do to become eli
gible is to swer allegiance to good
roads, better motor cars and buy an
Overland or a Willys-Knight. He
then automatically becomes member
in good standing, with full privileges
of a ''Knight-Rider.''

Many McCOnneIsville People Have
Done So
When the kidneys are weak they
give unmistakable warnings that
should not be ignored. BY examin-
ing the urine and treating the kid
neys upon the first sign of disorder,
many days of suffering may be saw
ed. Weak kidneys usually expel a
dark, ill-smelling urine, full of
"brickdust" sediment and painful in
passage. Sluggish kidneys often
cause a dull pain in the small of the
back, headaches, dizzy spells, tired,
languid feelings and frequent rheu-
matte twinges.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the
kidneys only. There is no better
recommended remedy.
McConnelsville people endorse
Doan's Kidney Pills.
Mrs. Margaret Hooper, Eighth ST.,
McConnelsville, says: "After 1 had
the flu my kidneys were weak and
backache was bother. Dull pains
were wearing on me. My back was
stiff and lame and it was a job for
me to get started. tired easily and
didn't feel much like doing any
thing. My kidneys were weak and
active. / purchased a box of Doan' s

Places Where Electricity Is Used

From the Ohio Committee on Pub
lie Utility, at Cleveland, comes the
following information:
Only 37.5 per cent of Morgan
county's homes, stores and factories
are electrified. This is shown in a
survey just completed by Electrical
World.
The survey discloses that only Clio
of Morgan county's 400 homes are
using electricity; that only so of
the county's $50 stores, hotels, etc,
are electrified; that there are 200
industrial plants in the county and
that only 20 of these consume cleo
! trical energy for power purposes.
According to the survey, 4S5,9O6
of the 1,136,200 homes in the state,
77,460 of the states 1890 stores
and hotels, and 1850 of the states
industrial plants are possible of fu-
