While no formal action was
taken by the representatives of
the seven associations present, it
was the consensus of opinion the

more regulations.

requested to carry on the expert
ment for the fiscal year 1885.
The committee has inserted in
the bill a provision prohibiting
free instruction in the public
schools here of pupils who dwell
outside the District. It was testi.
fled at the hearings that in Octo-
ber of last year there were 2,47O
nonresident students receiving
education here and that few of
this number were paying tuition.
A legislative provision is at
tached to the bill prohibiting the
Public Utilities Commission from
enforcing the in S tallation of
meters in taxicahS in washington.
The provision further requires, in
effect, that the Commission es-
tablish uniform rates and zones
for all taxicabs in the city. At
present there are four different
rates and zones.
Slash Relief Fund
The committee followed the
Budget Bureau in its recommen-
dation of $4,000, 900 for the emerg'
ency relief of unemployed here.
The District Commissioners had
asked for $3,000,000.
An item Of $408,817 for the
Health Department is recon.
mended, this figure being $17,383
less than the amount recommend
ed by the Budget Bureau.
Buildings and grounds for new
schools allowed by the committee
include: An 8-room building on
the site of the old John F. Cook
school, an addition to Eliot Junior
High School, initial construction
work to the addition of Anacostia
Junior High School and an Broom
addition to Randall Junior High.
Other Reductions
The committee eliminated from
the bill a requested provision of
$4,000 for improvements at the
Armstrong High School, and an
other item Of $4,000 for Wood
row Wilson High School.
A new paragraph is included in
the bill providing for the repay.
ment of $1,000, 900 to the Federal
Government, tbs sum being the
first installment on a loan Of S..
500, 900 from the Public Works Ad-
ministratlon.
The budget estimate Of $1,914,'
800 for the Water Department was
slaShed by $238,250. The commit
tee indicated at the recent hear.
ings that there was no evidence of
any great private construction
work in Washington and thar,
therefore, the requests for large
sums to extend and lay water
mains should not be approved.
Requests for additional appara.
tus for the Fire Department were
not granted by the committee.
