$l6o.O0n for erection of az eight-room
cNtensible building including COM
hination as embly hall and gymnas-

done. Plans for the building have
been prepared. by the municipal
architect. OF the five bids received.
me lowest was approximately $172,-

lowest bid is therefore $4,000 in ex-
cess of the appropriation. This, to-
Eether with the amount spent on the
preparation of plans, $4,000. requires
an additional appropriation of $4,000
to enable the Commissioners to enter

Senate, but in vastly different form
from the bill passed by the House.
The House bill accepted the offer of
Henry Ford; the Senate committee
bill provides for development of the
water-power project at Muscle Shoals
by the government. It is believed
that a vote can be reached on this
measure In the Senate with compara-
lively little debate.
Railroad legislation has struck
many snags during the session now
| closing. In spite Of the demands for
the repeal Of section 15A of the
transportation act--designated as the
rate making section-neither the
House nor the Senate committees
have taken action on these proposals.
The Howell-Barkley bill. doing away
with the Railroad Labor Board, yes
terdsy was reported with amend
ments to the Senate from tho inter-
state commerce committee, but it is
doubtful whether this bill can be
passed in tho Senate. and vote in
the House is considered unlikely.
World Court Proponents Busy.
Pressure is being brought to bear
also for action in the Senate on the
world court proposal. But the feeling
exists that If the Senate seriously In
tends to vote on the proposed ad-
hereflce> Of tho United States to the
world court, adjournment will be
postponed several weeks. The matter
may, however, be debated before the
close of the week.
Tomorrow at 5 pm, under unani-
nous consent agreement, the Senate
is to vote on the proposed child labor
amendment to the Constitution, which
has already passed the House. 1t is
expected to put through the resolu-
tion by moro than the necessary two
thirds vote to submit to the states n
proposal to amend the Constitution.
Funds Bills Passed.
So far as the annual appropriation
bills are concerned, there seems lit
tie doubt but what Congress could be
ready for adjournment by the end of
this week. The bills have all been
passed by the House and Senate, ex-
cept a second deficiency appropria-
ton bill which will not require q
great deal of time.
Suggestion has been made that if
Congress finds it cannot conclude its
work by the close OF the week. a
series of recesses will be taken until
| after the close of the Democratic
national convention and that then the
Congress return to Washington for
| work. But Senator Borah Of Idaho.
and, others ara strongly opposed to
any recess.
They insist that Congress remain
At work NOW until it concludes what
it intends to do, and then adjourn,
| irrespective Of national conventions.
There is a feeling in some quarters
that the progressive bloc will con-
tinue with its demands for con-
| tinuation Of the session, but that a
majority Of both houses win vote for
adjournment by Saturday OF Monday.

fore a positive pred ction can be nande
