An amendment offered at tho end
OF tho school site and building pro-
gram by Representative Blanton,
which provided that the total OF
$1,300.000 should be paid entirely out
Of the revenues Of the District, was
defeated by vote OF 2 to 80.
Representative H. Walton Moore
sought to specifically provide in the
bill that the colored bathing beach,
for which the appropriation was con-
tinued. should not be located at the
Virginia side of the Key bridge.
Chairman Cramton explained that
Lieut.. Col. c. o. Sheriff., orficer in
charge OF public buildings and
grounds, said that this was the only
site available. Representative Moore
said that he had assurances from
the Secretary Of War that the bathing
beach would never be located there,
and said that he had reliable in
formation that the colored people
themselves opposed that location. The
Moore amendment did not carry.
