LOAN COMPROMISE
TO Be CONSIDERED
House Rules Committee to
Study S10,750,O00 Pro-
posal for District.

The House Rules Committee in ex-
iecutive session tomorrow will con-
slider a compromise proposal of S10.-
75O.0OC for the s20.0O0.00O District
Public Works bill and If that is de-
feated the committee will then con-
slider an S8,000.0 900 bill for a new sew
age disposal system Tor the National
Capital.
With the committee apparently
ready to defeat the request by Chair
man Norton of the House District
Committee for a special rule to pre-
vent a filibuster against the $4,000. =
900 Public Works bill. which unani-
mouSely passed the Senate. stubborn
efforts are being made by several
members of the Rules Committee and
other friends of the District to save
as much as possible of the public
building program as drafted by the
District Commissioners.
The compromise Tor $l0,750.00O
would include $4,000 900 for a sewage
disposal item. $4,000, 900 for the Tu-
berculosis Hospital, and s750.0O0 for a
wall and other safeguards at the Lor-
ton penal institution.
The Rules Committee during hear
ings showed itself especially favorable
toward tine proposed new sewage dis
posal system. Representative O'Con-
nor of New York suggested during the
hearings that special rule be asked
on separate bill for that item. Such
bill is pending before the House
District Committee, which was intro
duced by Representative Cochran,
Democrat, of Missouri, chairman of
the Committee on Expenditures. on
which hearings were to be held when
the more comprehensive program of
the District Commissioners came along,
including the new sewage plant.
Plans were being considered this
afternoon for a special meeting of the
District Committee with a view to
reporting out the Cochran bill and
asking for a special rule on that sep
arate item.
