|GAS MERGER BILL
AGAIN POSTPONED
Agreement for Senate Action
Fails, Despite Pleas of
Copeland and Golf.

The bill to authorize a merger of the
Washington and Georgetown Gas Light
companies was considered briefly in the
Senate yesterday, but had to be post
poned again because of the inability OF
Senators on opposite sides OF the ques-
| ton to agree.
Senators Copeland (Democra) of
New York and Golf (Republican) OF
West Virginia urged action on the bill,
declaring that its passage would pave
the way for the employment of approx
imately 1000 men by the gas company
in laying pipes in various parts of the
city, and that it would lessen the cost
of gas and by-products.
Agreement to Be Sought.
On previous occasions the bill has
been objected to by Senators Howell
| Republican, of Nebraska and La Fol
| lette Republican, of Wisconsin. Al
though action on the bill was not pos
sible today Senator Howell offered
| to confer with Senators Golf and Cope
land within the next few days to see if
agreement can be reached
Asked by Senator Copeland to pre-
sent his objections in the form of an
amendment, Senator Howell said he
has had an amendment pending for
some time, but that the gas company
had indicated it was not acceptable.
Other Measures Delayed.
The Senate also postponed action on
the bill to curtail the powers of local
courts in reviewing decisions of the
Utilities Commission and the bill tC
require motorists who are convicted OF
serious traffic offenses to furnish proof
