A House bill authorizing $16,-
446,000 worth of work on the
power plant and distribution sys-
tenn at the Capitol has been ap-
proved by the Senate and now
goes to the White House.
It contemplates discontinuance

two new stoker-fir ones which
will burn cheaper coal.
Serious danger of a breakdown
in the system providing heat, light
and electric power to the Capitol
and congressional buildings was
cited in a report from the House
Two of the electric generators are
40 years old, and two are more
than 20 years old.
The overhaul will take four
years, according to David Lynn,

neighborhoods of that historic
part Of Washington find them
selves unaffected for the time
being by the shortage of schools
that is plaguing newer and fast
growing parts of the city.
The area being considered today
is bounded by the District line on
the west, the Potomac River on
the south, Florida avenue and
Rock Creek Park on the east and
Massachusetts, avenue, Macomb
street, Woodley road. Thirty
fourth street. Cleveland avenue
and Connecticut avenue on the
north.
Only two of the IL public
schools in that area have more
students than the buildings are
designed for. And in each case
the overcrowding is relatively
minor.
The section embraces George
town and other residential areas,
such as FoXhall Village, Wesley
Heights, Spring Valley, Potomac
Heights and Montrose Park.
Landmarks include American Uni
versity, the Naval Observatory.
Georgetown University. Mount
Alto Hospital and the Palisades
