FEARED BILLS FAILURE.
Donovan offered Remedy, Which
Was Turned Down.

The record of hearings before the
Senate subcommittee on the District
appropriation bill reveals that Ma j.
Daniel J. Donovan. auditor. entertain
ed the fear a week ago that Congress
might not have time to authorize the
money to pay the new salaries for
policemen, firemen and teachers.
When the District bill was being
passed on by the Senate subcommit-
tee he requested that a sentence be
inserted in that bill which would have
forestalled the present dilemma, but
he was not successful.
Donovan's suggestion was that the
amounts carried in the District bill
for police. fire and teachers salaries
be made available to pay the new in
creased salaries in case the deficiency
bill failed.
Nothing developed at the District
building today to prevent these three
groups OF workers from suffering a
reduction in pay next month, but
the Commissioners have not lost in
terest in the situation and some de-
velopments are expected within the
next few days.

authorities of the federal and Dis
