SENATE PASSES
| DEFICIENCY BILL.
Carries Total of S423,000,-
900, of Which $1,700,000
/ Is for the District.

BY a, vote of 43 to % the Senate
This afternoon agreed to the report OF
the conferees on the deficiency appro-
priation bill, which carries total OF
approximately S423 100000 for various
activities of the Government, includ-
ing 81, 600 for the District OF Co
tumbia.
The District items consist OF long
list of street paving work, aggregatlnS
about 100000: additional funds with
which to complete school buildings al
ready authorized and smaller amounts
for other branches of the District gov
eminent.
The conference agreement includes
an item of 81 500 to operate the chill
dren's room at the Mount Pleasant
Branch Library. This item was in
serted by tho Senate when it passed
the bill. calling for S2.725, but the con-
fcrees reduced it TO $500.
House Has Agreed.
The House has already agreed TO
thc conference report, 50 that II needs
only the SIGNATURE Of the President to
make the funds available. The inclu-
sion OF a large part of the street
having program of the District in this
deficiency bill will enable the highway
division to begin work early in the
Spring. thereby saving a considerable
period of good weather which would
have been lost if these items had been
placed in the regular District appro-
priatiOn bill.
The final action on the deficiency
bill has been held UP for several days
because of a controversy which de-
velopcd over two items for bridges
across the Colorado River, half the
cost Of which would be reimbursable
from the tribal funds of the Navajo
Indians Senators Cameron of Ari-
Zona and Bratton of New Mexico
made a vigorous fight against levying
money from the Indians to pay for
the bridge.
Senators in charge of the deficiency
bill pointed out they could not remedy
the situation at this time. because the
reimhursable feature IS required by a
law passed at the last session of Con
gress 1t was pointed out that lecis-
lation to repeal the reimbursable
law would be subject TO a point of
order if attached to the appropriation
bill
The bridge items were modified in
conference to provide that the REIN
hursable contribution come from In
dian funds hereafter occurring rather
than from the money now deposited to
the credit Of the Indians
In addition to the regular paving
work for the District Of Columbia
this bill provides for the widening of
Connecticut avenue between * and VI
streets, to a width of s. feet. and for
the widening of Eleventh street be
tween Pennsylvania and New York
avenues to a width of 70 feet.
For the sewer department, which
has been in need Of larger appropria-
tons to meet the large amount Of
building operations. the deficiency bill
carries nearly 100000
There are a number of small items
for repair to the District jail, for con
struction of a sewer for the Gallinger
Municipal Hospital and for repairs 70

PRICES HELD HIGH
FOR SCHOOL SITES
Funk Says Subcommittee
May Limit Amount to AS
SeSSed Value of Land.

The District Of Columbia, for school
and playground sites, has been paying
prices far in excess of what the sub
committee of the House appropriations
committee which is framing the Dis
trict budget for the next fiscal year
believes Is fair.
Chairman Funk of the subcommittee
closely questioned Maj. Holcomb, As
sistant Engineer Commissioner, and
other District government officials on
this subject when they appeared at
the hearings today. Mr.. Funk
charged that the price paid for the
site for the new Mckinley High School
in Northeast Washington is approx
mately three times the assessed value
Of the land. and that other land re-
Gently purchased by the District gov
eminent has been paid for at CORE
spondingly high figures.
Pay by Jury Award.
Pointing out that land is supposed
to be assessed at it's real value, Mr..
Funk made the point that either the
assessed value was too high or the
District government has been paying
extortionate prices. The answer to
these charges was that the price paid
for a considerable portion of the land
was in accordance with jury award
in condemnation proceedings.
Mr. Funk said today that the sub
committee is seriously considering
placing a strict limitation on the price
to be paid for school and school play
ground sites TO not more than the
assessed value.
The charges recently made by Mrs
Mary T. Norton, Democrat, of New
Jersey, the woman member OF the
House District committee and of the
subcommittee on schools, who recently
made a personal investigation of school
conditions, that conditions in many or
the school buildings were very lnsanI-
tary. were aired and answered at the
hearing today.
Statements Refuted.
While. DR.. Frank w. Ballou. super
intendent of schools, was before the
COMMITTEES, Mr.. Funk refuted state
ments attributed to DR.. Ballou and
other District officials that the fault
was that Congress had not given sutti
cient funds to keep the school build
ings in proper sanitary condition.
Mr.. Funk quoted figures from the
appropriation measures for the last
five years, showing that over the
five-year period the amount dppro-
priated for the maintenance end re
pair of school buildings was only
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1926-03-02

$4,000 less than the amount the
school officials said they needed TO
keep these properties in proper con-
dition. He also emphasized that last
year, of its own initiative, the spEro-
priations committee increased the re-
pair item $4,000 above the budget
recommendations.
