HEARINGS LIKELY
ON NORTON BILL
PaImisano Due to Fix Date
as Commissioners File
Report.
BY LANES E. CHM.

A date for starting the long-delayed
public hearings on the Norton bill to
moderniZe and humaniZe Juvenile

Several weeks ago Palmisano prom

filed with the District Committee Mon
day, but Palmisano has not seen it be-
cause he has been forced to remain
in Baltimore in connection with DEM
ocratic primary activities. At his Of
fee it was said he would return today.
DESPITE the plea of various welfare
and civic organizations for early con-
sideration of the bill, Palmisano de-
lberately let it languish in his sub
committee until the Commissioners ad-
vised him whether they wanted it en-
acted into law. When that informa-
tion reached the District Building, the
Commissioners lost no further time in
studying the measure and rushed a
report to the Budget Bureau. and
thence to the District Committee.
Amendments Suggested.
Numerous amendments were rec
commended by the Commissioners, but
most of them we're minor in char
acter. Some of the changes urged,
however, are designed to eliminate
features which were regarded as OBJ
jectionable.
If Palmisano arranges for hearings
within the next week, it will be pos
sible to get the bill on the House call
endar in time for consideration before
the prospective adjournment of Con-
eress June l. The next regular Dis
trict day" in the House will be May

bill before the House either May IL

Meeting the charge that the officials

announce that actually there will be

authorities call special attention to
this point-the walks have been made

newly designed park benches will rest

when one considers the width of the

them, the net width of the walks will
not be so very much after all, the
park chiefs assert.
And another thing the public does
not realize. The authorities say the

The impoverished topsoil that has
overdone duty for decades now must
be replaced. This adds to the untidy
appearance of Lafayette Park at
present.
100 Benches to Be Set Up.
A larger and more comfortable type
of bench, especially designed for this
program, will be installed in Lafayette
Park, as well as elsewhere in the sys-
tenn, officials declared. In this park,
100 benches will be set up.
The square footage of the walk sur
face under the old plan was 1920,
the authorities declare, compared with
$3.50 square feet under the revised
program. Much walk has been elm
mated by wiping out the meandering

The Henderson market to date
has sold slightly in excess Of 49,
100000 pounds of weed toward the
achievement of the goal set at tho
