SPEED Up
LEGISLATION

Complete reorganization Of the
method of handling District bust
ness in the House Is being con-
sidered by House leaders, It was
learned today. The plan includes
the placing of some Of the most
Influential men in the House on
the District Committee and aban-
doning of the regular District day.
A proposal will be laid before
the Committee on Committees to
appoint the chairman and possibly
the other four members OF the
District subcommittee Of the House
Committee on Appropriations on
the District legislative committee.
The object of the reorganization
will be to place District legislation
on a better basis. to prevent the
wasting Of District time on the
floor and to lead to better manage.
ment in general of local business.
Abandonment OF the scheduled
District days, on the second and
fourth Mondays of each month, Is
epected to be an important step.
It was given q thorough trial by
Representative John @. Tilson, of
Connecticut, floor leader. during the
past session and proved successful
in speeding up local legislation.
Regular District days in the past
have been used by Members for the
discussion Of all types Of national
business. Under the proposed plan
local legislation will be considered
whenever the condition Of the cal.
endar justifies House action. with
debate confined exclusively to the
bills under consideration.
District legislation will be given
equal status and protection to that.
accorded national legislation. At
least one member high in the House
councils probably will be appointed
to the District committee to aid
the House leaders in shaping the
local legislative program.

tains 16O,80 square feet of floor space.
"A paved yard adjacent provides IT,.
500 square feet of storage space in
addition.
This building will house a number

production and shipments, with the
order file about the same.
Even after making allowance for
the smaller number of softwood mills
reporting this year, it is apparent
that the volume of softwood lumber
being produced, sold and shipped. is
about 10 per cent less than at this
time last year.
The Mississippi Valley floods con-
tinue to curtail hardwood production,
but have had the effect of stimulating
shipments and new business, as COM
pared with last year.
For the 72 West Coast mills the I'M
filled orders were 800, 431 $50 feet, as
against 297 1924 1922 feet for 10 mills a
week earlier. Altogether the 200
