CHANNEL PROJECT
COST TO CITY CUT.
Conferees Agree D. C.ShouId
Pay S389,000 for Water
Front Work.

Conferees on the omnibus river and
harbor bill have agreed on a compro-
mise under which the District govern
ment's share of the cost of improving
the Washington Channel water front
will be s389,000, instead of 1926, 900,
as contemplated originally by the
House bill
Credit for the revision of the ap-
portionment goes largely to Senator
Copeland, Democrat, of New York,
chairman of the Commerce Commit
tee and head of the Senate conferees
1t was Senator Copeland who, at
hearings on the bill several months
ago. took the view that it would be
unfair to ask District taxpayers to
project for the Identification and i'm
provement of the water front of the
National Capital
U. S. to Get Rentals.
1t was brought out at the hearings
that title to the Washington Channel
water front property is in the Federal
Government and that the United
States will derive rental from the new
docks, except for one or two piers
used by the District for police, fire
and other municipal agencies. 1t was
brought out also that the plans for
the improvement must be designed to
fit in with the requirements of Ma
tion'S Capital rather than a munich
pality.
Senator Copeland, whose long serv-
ice on the District Committee and on
the Subcommittee on District Appro-
priations has made him familiar with
the problems involved in apportioning
the cost of developing the Capital be-
tween the Nation and the local COM
munity, recommended that the Senate
amend the bill to make the upbuild-
ing Of the water front which faces Po-
tomac Park, entirely Federal project.
The Senate approved and it went to
conference.
d. c. Share Is Fourth.
Under the compromise reached with
the House members yesterday, the
District share will be slightly less than
one-fourth, instead OF one-half, a re-
duction of about s436,000.
The river and harbor bill. carrying
projects for all parts of the country,
merely authorizes these improvements.
The funds must be provided later,
either by Congressional appropriation
or by ALLEGATIONS from the work relief
fund.

PASSAGE OF LEAVE
BILLS IS SEEN At
PRESENT SESSION
King Asks Delay in Senate
to Study Proposed
Amendments.
CHARWOMEN'S HOLIDAY
PAY MEASURE APPROVED
Upper Chamber Also Passes Bill
to Equalize Hours at En-
craving Bureau.

The two bills to adjust the annual
and sick leave of Government en-
ployes still have a good chance OF
being enacted into law before Con-
gress adjourns next week, although
they were delayed temporarily in the
Senate yesterday.
Senator King, Democrat, of Utah
who asked that action be put off fol
the day, said later he was not OBJ
jecting to a decision on the measures
at this session, but wanted time tC
consider one or two proposed amend
mentS that had been brought to his
attention. He indicated if those in
charge of the bills call them up again
Monday he would be ready to have
the Senate pass on any suggested
changes and then act on the bills.
Passed by House.
Both bills have passed the House
and we're reported favorably by Chair
man Bulow of the Senate Civil Serv-
ice Committee. The committee made
three amendments, but these are not
expected to prevent final agreement
between House and Senate.
One bill puts annual leave back to
80 days, as it existed before the econo-
my act of 1882 reduced it to Is days
The other measr-e cuts sick leave
from 80 to IS days. Unused leave
under either bill would be cumulative
to 100 days.
The Senate yesterday passed with
out change and sent to the President
a House bill under which charwomen
T. the Government service would be
paid for legal holidays.
Engraving Bureau Bill Passed.
The Senate also passed a bill by
Senator O'Mahoney of Wyoming to
promote the efficiency of the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing by equal
izing the hours of all workers in that
establishment. Congress two years
ago applied the 40hour week to en-
ployeS of the bureau whose pay is
fixed by wage boards. 1t has been
found that employees who come under
the classification act or some specific
act of Congress, are still subject to a
44-hour week.
The committee explained that q
plate printer, for example, is on the
40-hour week, while his two assistants
on the press are on a 44-hour schedule.
This means, the Civil Service Com
mittee explained, that the employees
under the classification act must be
fllrloughed for the difference between
40 and A hours, or the plate printers
must be employed overtime. This
bill requires House action.
There are several other civil service
measures on the Senate calendar
which failed to reach a vote yester-
cay and are likely to go over until
January. These include the Logan
bill to apply the civil service laws to
Government employees generally, by
requiring groups appointed without
regard to civil service to take a non-
competitive examination.

Sixth street and Pennsylvania ave-

their equipment on So trucks. At

have to train in the District, but are
taking it good-naturedly.
Being an engineer regiment, the
contingent is equipped to make many
improvements about the camp, which
ordinarily is used only for storage
purposes and as rife range. Col
Oehmann said roads will be built and
repaired and ground leveled with an
eye to permanent notifications.
The entire day was to be devoted
to the thousand and one details at
tending setting up a camp, while to-
morrow will be principally a day of
rest Monday the troops will launch
| into their training schedule. which
differs but slightly from that of
