REVISED BORLAND BLLISGVEN. . House District Orders Favorable Report. | Other Measures Tackled. The House District committee toda ordered a favorable report on an amendment to the Borland act which will relieve abutting property owners from assessment for costs of resur facing streets in front of their prop- erty within 20 vears. The committee also had the poliee women's hurean bill hefore it for amendment. One amendment, offered by Representative Houston of Dela ware, struck from the bill a provision that six of the naw personnel provided for “shall be between the ages of 3 and 45." Other amendments are pend ing which are to be taken up at special meeting of the committee to morrow morning. Chairman Rathbone of the subcom mittee on police and fire legislation made a unanimous report from hix subcommittee on the bill which would give members of the park police force the same annual leave and sick leave as members of tha Metropolitan Police Department. There was considerable opposition to this measure and it was laid aside. School Name Changed. The judiciary subcommittee reported favorably on twa bills. one changing the name of “the trustees of St. Jo <eph’s Male Orphan Asvium® to “St. Joseph's Home and School. The other bill favorably reported changes the name of “the American Rocial Science Assoclation” to the “National Institute of Social Science.” When the proposed amendment te the Borland hill was taken up for consideration. Mr. Blanton warned the committee that this ia a fight that has been going on for nine vears to repeal what he described as “one of the best laws ever enacted hy Con- gress for the National Capital.” and he paid tribute 1n the late Represent ative Borland of Missouri, author of the measure. Representatives Underhill of Massa churetts and Houston of Delaware ar- zued in support of the bill, asking M Blanton who wore out the streets making resurfacing necessary. When he replied. “The public,” they contend- ed that it was not fair to make proper- v owners pay for damage done the etrests by general traffic over which they have no control, especially ks thix | traffic was of no benefit to them. Asks One Assessment. Mr. Underhill stated at some length his views on the Borland a L. the giat of which was that when an abutting property awner once has heen assessed for paving. he has dona his duty to- ward the city and should not aseessed for repairing Adamage done to the road. He said this is the duty of the city to share with the property owner in the original cost of the road. Mr. Underhiil also siated that it is heavy traffic from far heyond the prop. erty of the individual that damages the streets -traffic that does not in- crease the value of the property, but rather decreases i \r. Underhill Raid it was “‘posit ridiculous.” and should not he done anywhere in the country, bhut more especaily should not be done in the National Capital Mr. motor streets Blanton suggested that heavy busses are destroying the and pay nothing toward butlding. repair and maintenan~e ex- cept a small gasoline tax. ~Mr. Gasque also spoke strongly in faver sxnin be | : THE EVENING IVETERANS COMMITTEE DELAYS !

The witness told of his arrival from New York January 29, when he found brother in bed with stomach trouble at the Harris Hotel. and of their determination to go hack to the metropolis.
