BILL WOULD HIT
FUNDS FOR
DISTRICT
Resolution Is Proposed to
Prevent Appropriation In-
creases on Floor

A resolution which is expected to
have a serious effect upon the Dis
trict Of Columbia appropriation bill
has been introduced in the House
by Congressman M. o. Mclaughlin
of Nebraska.
The resolution prevents an addi-
ton to an appropriation bill of any
item which previously has not been
considered by a bill or resolution
in both Senate and House and APP
proved by the President.
The resolution also provides that
any item inserted In bill without
such approval shall be stricken OFT
In committee or on the floor.
Under the lump sum fiscal re-
lations plan the District has re-
ceiyed many Of its most important
appropriation increases on the floor
of the Senate or House.
The lump sum provision was IN
serted on the floor of the House
and the District receives its two
police court judges and traffic court
by an amendment made from me
floor of the House.
Under the proposed resolution
such changes would be prohibited
for lack of time for their proper
consideration.

Fire Chief George Watson said
he didn't want any publicity in
this war. The fewer the spectators

But either Monday or Tuesday

of hose along the avenue.

A similar problem arose during
the summer on New Jersey avenue

by the fire department. Although
they only moved few blocks. the
birds finally emigrated to Southern
