SANITARY, PARK
BOARD BILLS PASS
Fate of Measures Continu.
ing Present Officials Up
to Senate.
BY JACK ALLEN,
stan Correspondent OF The Star.

ANNAPOLIS, March 9.-The fate
of the bills to prolong the terms Of
the Washington Suburban Sanitary
and Maryland-National Capital Parks
and Planning Commissions members
and the fate of some $50 employees
rested in the hands Of the Senate
today.
Bitterly assailed as "unsportsman-
like, selfish and iniquitious legisla-
tion," the proposals nevertheless
passed the House last night and went
to the Senate this morning.
Victory for the two bills, which
would deprive Gov. Harry w. Nice and
his Republican colleagues of the pa
tronage they had expected to appor-
ton among their supporters two
months hence, was not achieved, how
ever, until after Democratic leaders
had whipped their followers into line.
The bills-which would save the
ofhceholders their jobs by simply con-
tinuing the Democratic commission
ers in Office for another two years, in
stead of having them dismissed when
their terms expire in May, presents q
problem to Democratic members OF
the Senate.
The lineup in the Senate includes
18 Democrats and IL Republicans and
the Democratic array must be kept
intact If the bills are to achieve their
purpose. Both bear emergency clauses
making them effective upon enact
ment, rather than on June ! as II
the case of ordinary bills. and the
support of three-f1fths of the men,
bers of both chambers is required to
pass measures Of that type.
Loss of one Democratic vote in the
Senate would spell their doom.
A scare was thrown into the ranks
of Democratic members of the Mont
gomery and Prince Georges delega-
tions, who sponsored the proposals,
when the bill dealing with the WASH
ington Suburban Sanitary Commission
was considered in the House last
night.
The House first voted, IS to 80, to
pass the bill-seven votes short of
the majority required by the emer-
gency clauSe-but the original vote
was reconsidered after Kent r.
Mulliken of Prince Georges, Demo-
cratic floor leader, appealed to Demo-
cratic members to pass the bill and
it went through, finally. by 79 to "a.
A like vote was cast for passage of
the bill extending the terms of the
Maryland-National Capital Park and
Planning Commissions members.
The name Of Maj. E. Brooke Lee Of
Silver Spring, former speaker of the
House and one-time Democratic
leader in both the State and Mont
gomery County, was frequently men,
toned during the debate on the
measures.
Delegate Joseph A. Cantrel, Mont
gomery County Fusionist. led the fight
against the bills and after terning
them among "the most unsportsman-
like, selfish and iniquitious pieces OF
legislation ever to come before the
House" he said:

troduced by Cantrel two years ago,
investigated the commission and filed
a laudatory report.
Marbury brought out in his speech
that the Montgomery and Prince
Georges delegations voted 8 to for
a favorable report on the bills, with
the Fusionists from Montgomery
Cantrel and Walter M. Magruder-
casting the only votes in opposition
to enactment of both bills.
Marbury then made the first appeal
for the support of other Democratic
members of the House.
There are 180 full-time employees
of the Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission-mostly Democrats-and
the Democratic Delegates should vote
for them as matter Of party loyalty. '

APPROVAL GIVEN
MEMORIAL SITE
Construction at Tidal Basin
Entirely Practicable, En-
gineers Say.

Construction Of the Thomas Jeffer-
sor Memorial at the Tidal Basin site
is entirely practicable, in the opinion
of National Park Service engineers, on
the basis of bedrock information now
available, it was learned today.
While further borings still are nee
essary, the engineers believe they have
sufficient information now to state
that the construction can go forward
just as soon as funds become available
from Congress.
Today drillers for the United States
engineer office. who are doing the
work for the Thomas Jefferson Memo
rial Commission, set up by Congress.
and the National Park Service, agent
for the commission, were working on
the fourth hole and had bored down
102 feet below the surface of the
ground. They encountered gravel and
cobblestones and were expected to
reach rock shortly. The ground level
is higher at that point than elsewhere.
Next week the officials expect to
begin drilling under the water of the
Tidal Basin to ascertain bedrock con-
ditionS there Two more land holes
are to be drilled, but the present in
formation has been obtained from
widely distributed areas, so that the
engineers are now reasonably certain
that the foundation can be con-
structed without great difficulty. No
estimates of foundation costs have yet
been worked up on the basis of the
boring data
The drillers have now bored east
and south of the Thomas Jefferson
Memorial proper; some distance south
east of the memorial on the proposed
upper terrace and farther away
southeast at the lower terrace. Rock
has been struck at from IS to 80 feet
in the first borings, but the formation
surface is undulating.
The next hole to be drilled will be
on the north side of the proposed ex-
tension of Independence avenue, back
of the propagating gardens of the
National Capital parks. near the Bu-
reau of Engraving and Printing.
