In this conneition, Senator Oddie of Nevada has prypared two amend- | ments to the school buflding program | as passed by the Howse, which he will {offer in the Senate. Onx of the amend- ments authorized $60,000 to purchuse the square hounded by Fousth, Fifth, Sheridan northwest, and the other calls fd= an | appropriation. of $100,000 to begin | construction of the Brightwood Junior | High School. Other amendments' to be offered by Senator Oddle are: Streets and Sewers. A provisio that $163,000 of the total | carried in the House.bill for sub- urban sewers shall be used for the completion of the storm sewer .be- | tween Fifth and Ingraham streets and | Fifth and Aspen streets. Ior the paving of Second street, Sheridan street to Blair road, and the ! paving of Sheridan street from Sec- |ond to Third street, $7,000. | Several days ago Senator Cameron and Tuckerman streets| THE EVENING for enlarging the Langley Junior High School. The purpose of his amendment {s to include an assembly hall and gymnasium in the building. While it is understood the Senate subcommittee i not planning to make any important change in the amounts approved by the House for the school system, it has been Jearned that the subcommittee is golng thoroughly into the House proposal that no property should bé purchased at a price more than 23 per cent in excess of the as- sessed ‘value for purposes of taxation. Just what the conclusion of the sub- committee will be on this restriction has not been revealed. The school items were explained by Supt. F'rank Ballou and one of his asslistants, Stephen E. Kramer, Uncertain as to Water Rate. On the question of whether water rates in the District should he in- creased 25 per cent, as voted by the House, the subcommittee is walting for further information which it re- quested. Local residents have raised strenuous opposition to the proposed increase. It is expected the Senate hearings will be concluded today or tomorrow and the bill probably will be ready for report to the Senate some time next week. ; items for ‘continuing development of the park system and also extensfon of the automatic traffic light system session special attention at yester: day's session of the hearings. For the work of the National Capi- tat Park Commission the House re- newed the $600,000 authorized in_the last appropriation act, and Maj. U. S. Grant, 3d, director of public buildings and , explained to the Senate subcor :mittee the plan the commis- slon has in mind for the coming vear. In this connection the Senate sub- committee will have an opportunity to pass judgment on the new restric- tlons which the House inserted in the bill this year prohibiting officials from paying more®than 25 per cent in ex- cess of the assessed value for any land STAR, WASHINGTO If this provision is left in the bill, it is believed, it will hamper the au- thorities in acquiring land urgently needed, both for the school building program and development of the park system. Commissioner Fenning and Traffic Director Elridge were on hand to ex- plain to the subcommittees the items needed for proper control of traffic. The subcommittee also gave some at- tention yesterday to street improve- ments, but was unable to finish this part of the bill. Maj. Raymond ‘Wheeler, assistant engineer Commis- sioner, and Engineer of Highways Hunt explained the condition of the streets. The subcommittee is giving serious attention to the House proposal for a 25 per cent increase in water rates, but has not yet decided what it will do on this question. Citizens of the District have made strong protest against the increase, pointing out that the private consumers of water are now hearing the entire maintenance costs of the water system, including the aqueduct and filtration plants,| which are under I'ederal supervision. The point. also has heen made that the Pederul Government uses 18 per cent of the wuter consumed without charge. OHIO GLEE CLUB SINGS. Appears at Press Club at Noon and ‘Will Give Concert Tonight.

UTILITIES BOARD Failure to Appropriate $50,000 Needed in Revaluations Likely to Impede Work Scheduled. Confronted with an fmpending re- valuation of the property of the Washington Gas Light Co. and its subsidiary, the Georgetown Gas Light { Co., officials of the Public Utilitles Commission today appsared worried over the failure of Congress to take any action on the bill authoriz- Wwhich to employ valuation experts to aid them in the investigation. The gas companies asked the com- mission last January 26 to fix a new tles, but virtually no steps have been taken due to the prospect of obtain- ing the services of the valuation ex perts. As Congress has shown no in- clination to consider the measure pro vidihg funds to employ these experts, the commission now, it was said, may be forced to make the valuation with {its own employes, This will work a declded handicap on the commission, it was pointed out, because of the pressure of business now thrown on its employes. The experts are desired not only 6 aid the commission in the investiga- tion, it was explained, but to repre. sent it If the companies should tuke ing an appropriation of $50,000 with i and fair valuation on thelr proper- | Pit atlon is fixed.
