When the amendment 10 eliminate
the House limitation on the cost OF
building sites was reached. however.
Senator Willis of Ohio Indicated he
thought the House provision wise
restriction.
Urges Serious Study.
Senator Phipps replied there were
arguments On both sides. hut that
the objections to 1t presented by the
Commissioners and other ofictsls
were stronger and more definite than
the reasons advanced In support OF
rfe clause. Summing up the views
OF the committee on this question,
Senator Phipps ssid:
Il think 1t Is only fair to say that
the committee looks upon the pro-
position set forth by the House as n
most important matter, and one
which should not have approval
without serious consideration. While
1t may find that some of the Ian
guage included within that stricken
out Is proper, and should remain in
the bill. the only clean way in which
to handle the matter 's TO have the
whole situation before us when we
go to conference. Therefore. We pro-
pose to eliminate all Of the language
included within the provlsos, so that
we can discuss Il with the repre-
seDtatives on the rart Of the House
Senator Phipps explained that In
curtsiIing school building items 10
make more money available for street
work. the committee found two school
projects for which the entire amount
recommended would not be needed
within the year. and in two other
cases the curtailment applied only TO
gymna siums q nd assembly halls.
Seeks Tax Notification.
Durine debate on the District bill
Senator King announced he had re.
ceived numerous complaints from
property owners that the District
government does not give owners Of
property sufficient notice before sell.
Ing real estate for overdue taxes.
The Senator said he hoped the as
SCISSORS office would institute a fair
method Of notifying property owners
Of taxes that are due. He added that
he would not suggest any legislation
on the question at this time, believing
0 hint 10 the proper authorities would
bring results.
Just before the bill. was passed the
Senate added an amendment TO make
street paving contractors responsible
for repairs which beca me necessary
within four years after street is
paved. II the Commissioners md the
repair is made necessary by defective
work or inferior materials.
The amendment follows:
In addition TO the provision OF ex-
istinR law requiring contractors 10
keep new psvements In repair for a
period OF one year from the date of
the completion OF the work The Com
missioners OF the District OF Columbia
shall flAther Uequire that where re
pa trR ere necessary during the four
years Following the said one.year
period. due to inferior work or defec-
tive materials. such repairs shall be
made at the expense OF the contractor
and the bond furnished by the con
tractor shall be liable for such ex.
pense."
The Senate also adopted the com
mittee amendment making the 81
O00 600 contribution OF the Federtl
Government availa BILE to the Distric!
