has commented on the Kennewick

there is no way to take raw, sew
age-packed water from the river

by chlorinating it.

tell you that. Will T. Neill, rate
engineer for the PP&L, said Fri

two thirds of the water in the
PPL lines at this season of the
year is raw Columbia river water

Consulting Engineer R.H.Corey
of Portland advised at the Friday
evening meeting that, through the
hot summer months, tests at the
most distant points in the distribu-
ton systems of both the KID and
the PPL should be taken daily.

Deficiency Bill Sent
To Senate After House
Cuts D. e. Guard Funds

A sharply trimmed deficiency ,ap-
preparation for the District National
Guard, approved late yesterday by
the House, went to the Senate to-
day for further scrutiny by the
Senate Appropriations Committee.
The Guards request for $780, ,578,
which had been characterized by
the House Appropriations Commit
tee as "wanton disregard of law"
was cut to $4,000 in the first de-
ficiency bill. The Senate committee
repeatedly is looking further into
the Guards finances.
Horan Warns officials.
Furthermore, Chairman Koran of
the House Appropriations Subcom-
mittee on the District supply bill,
has warned Guard officials he will
demand strict conformity to the
Antideficiency Act when the Guard
comes before his unit for its l949
estimates, within a month.
The deficiency bill going to the
Senate Appropriations Committee
also carries $4,000 to help the Dis
trict pay for removal of the heavy
SHOWS of last winter. The House
committee report, accompanying the
bill to the Senate. recommends a
new law to make residents clear
snow from their sidewalks or pay
the snow removal bill, probably
through taxes.
The House bill refused to grant
requested increases in contract au-
thorizations for school buildings,
the District Training School, near
Laurel, and a Metropolitan Police
station in Northeast Washington.
The House report explained, how
ever. a provision has been drafted
authorizing District officials to
transfer certain funds to permit
construction of buildings already
authorized.
For Howard University, the House
bill carries an increase of $4,000
in the requested $1,64O,00O addi-
tional contract authorization on two
new buildings to be erected on the
campus. This was asked because of
increased cost of construction.
