HOUSE
Committee Substitutes Almost
Identical Measure Passed
by Senate.

Acting under the recent agree
ment made by House leaders to
allow the District ample time on
the floor, for the consideration of
non-controversial legislation, the
House District Committee today
unanimously reported two District
street bills.
The committee substituted for the
Fourteenth street extension bill
which it recently reported, an al
most identical bill which has just
passed the Senate. The Senate bill
differs from the House bill in only
one point, the extension for two
blocks of a minor street in the
Walter Reed Hospital grounds.
The committee ordered a favor

w. H. Holcombe assistant Engineer

the opening Of two new alleys on

PAY BILL
FAVORED IN
REPORT
Plan to Include Park Guard

Defeated.

The Senate District Committee
today ordered a favorable report
upon the Metropolitan Police pay
bill, and also acted to bring about

posed for the park policemen Of

The officer in charge of public
buildings and grounds appeared be-
fore the District committee on be.

ing that unless their pay increase

sion Of Congress.
A protest against the consolida-
ton of the two bills as proposed
by the Superintendent of Public
Buildings and Grounds was made
by a delegation from the Metro
politan police. headed by Private
Milton Smith, of the Traffic Blu
reau. Private Smith made a state
ment to the committee in which
he voiced his fear that the entire
legislation will be caught in a
legislative jam in Congress IL any
changes were made in it now. He
said the police pay bill already had
passed the House and that it's
chances would be jeopardiEed if
important new amendments were
placed in it.
After a discussion with Senators
Ball. King, and Copeland, Private
Smith withdrew his objection when
he received assurances that the
Senate conferees would not permit
of any delay in the conference be-
cause of amendments. If any OBJ
jections were made by the House
conferees to the pay raises of the
park police, the bill would drop
back to its original form, he was
told.
The pay bill for the Metropoli-
tan police also includes the District
f:remen and gives increases to the

system and the Public Buildings

quested by the committee to draw
up a plan whereby this centraliza
ton Of authority could be estab.

of Senators King, Edwards and
Edge, was appointed to go into
the matter.
