OMNIBUS ROAD BILL K CALLED
 BACK, PASSED
Senate Relonsiders Vote on SIS, 800 Measure
 Naming ProjeCfs

Pressure from lrate members oi the House, three of whom came into the Senate chambers to speak, late yesterday afternoon caused the Sen- ate to reconsider its vote on the om- nibus road bill, which had been voted down earlier, six to two.
 The bill drew together in one measure ten House bills which were authored by Representatives Garnet Martin, Howard Lyng, w. J. Doyd Wallace Porter, Frank Gordon, Jesse Lander and Ed Coffey.
 On reconsideration the Senate passed the bill, seven to one.
 Martin vs. Sullivan
 Only Senator voting nay was Le- Roy Sullivan of Nome, although sev- eral others expressed opposition up until the time the vote was taken Senator Sullivan was steadfast even in the fact of a direct personal at- tack from Representative Garnet Martin, who had been given the privilege of the floor to speak on the bill.
 T should think our Senator from the Second Division would be ashamed" Martin declared, "to come down here and vote against this bill for roads, and when I get back I'm certainly going to tell the people =.
 As this point Martin was silenced by a reminder from the chair that he was getting rather far afield in his remarks.
 Not Influenced
 Senator Sullivan said he resented Martins threatening attitude and that he was not going to let his vote be influenced by it The Senator said he was against the bill because it directed expenditure of definite amounts of money for definite pro- jects in the expectation that the Second Division would get $200,00O for roads, whereas circumstances might arise to reduce the total to only little over a quarter of that. In such case the entire appropria- ton for the Division would be used on the few projects mentioned in the omnibus bill, leaving the rest of the Division without road funds for the biennium. Senator Sullivan said he favored leaving direction of ex- penditure of road money up to the Highway Engineer.
 Representatives Carl Drager and Ed Coffey implied criticism of Sem ator Joe Holman of the Third, who also had voted against the bill, by speaking in its favor.
 Senator Defended .... Senator O. D. Cochran. suppor- ter of the bill, rose to deliver trib- ute to his fellow-member from the Second, Senator Sullivan, saying that criticism of him was unjusti-

The Sky At Night

The sky is very beautiful
With stars that shine so bright
And the great big, yellow moon
That guides US by it's light.
The planets have their colors
Which are red and blue and white
And everyone may notice them
Because they shine so bright.
The clouds are also in the sky
But they do not shine bright
You very seldom notice them
Except in broad daylight.

Dear Mr.. Editor:
The Montgomery County Rura
Housing Project has reached the
controversial stage, which is as it
should be. The proposed plan is
a lifelong proposition, and should
therefore be considered from every
angle.
The Washington Star of Novem-
Der 81 advised it's readers that one
member of the Board of Directors
of the Montgomery County, Mary
land, Farm Bureau suggested that
houses should be built on the farms
where the present shacks are stu
ated. The idea is good one and
should be carefully considered.
The majority of farmers prefer
to have farm labor live on the
farm. The landlords should well
come the opportunity to secure
Federal Government funds for the
construction of new dwelling, ii
the present house is a menace to
the health of it's occupants. The
owners of the land could secure the
lending agency by agreeing to in
clude in his county taxes an
amount sufficient to amortize the
building loan within a specified
time.
The housing plan provides for
long-term financing of sixty years.
duration. Those who favor the
plan are, to say the least, optimis-
tic in their belief that the houses
will be habitable sixty years hence.
If Montgomery County is to be
used as the guinea-pig for this
experiment, why not limit, for the
present, the construction of these
houses to a village for white
workers and a village for colored
workers. This will give Montgom-
cry County property owners an
opportunity to study the feasibility
of building twenty-three more vii
lagos in the County.
Should the present plan prove to
be a failure, values within several
miles of these communities will be
adversely affected. There are
many problems to be solved before
definite locations are established
for these villages. Many people by
choice prefer to live in secluded
spot. It is impossible to make them
community minded. Many occu-
pants of the delapidated tenant
houses will be resentful of any eff
fort to remove them. 1t might be
well to question the present occu-
pants of such establishments to de-
termine if they are DESTROYS of liv-
ing in the proposed villages.
Federal housing programs should
be encouraged but let us act slowly
in this particular instance.
(Signed) Chas. E. Conner,
Ashton, Maryland

action be undertaken by the pur- chaser, 1t was cited.
 $8,SO0 In Taxes
 The taxes owed on the property, in question, amount to $500 and the first bid of the prospective pur- chaser, said to contemplate an apartment house on the land, was $8,50O, then raised to $12,500. The land committee of the aldermen was informed of the assessed value of the property by City Clerk John F. Fitzmaurice and decided to ask bids on the property, which will be advertised Monday.
 President Perriello said that his belief is that the aldermen will turn down any bids not deemed high enough and agreed that the board should give serious consider ation to disposal of city-owned property, studying the long-range effect of selling property for the amount of taxes due instead of esti- mating what the market price would be in better times.
