THREE D. C. BILLS WILL BE REPORTED Senate Body Approves Meas- ure for Extension of Fourteenth Street. Favorable reports will be made to the Scnate within the next few days by the | Senate District committee on bills au- thorizing extension of Fourteenth street through the Walter Reed Hospital | grounds, making important changes in the rules relating to personal property taxation, and to permit amateur boxing in Washington. The commiitee indicated yesterday | afternoon it would give early consid- eration to the proj new insurance code, the bill to provide a bette: method for the condemnation of lard needed by the Federal Government in Washington and another measure to pi-vent fraud in connection with the sale of securities here. The committee virtually decided yes- terday to let the question of compulsory automobile insurance go over until the next_session in December after Sena- tor Blaine of Wisconsin, to whom the subject had been referred. expressed the belief it could not be given the at- tention to which it is entitled in the short time remaining at this session. Asks Extension. Charles 1. Stengle of the Citizens’ Ad- ! visory Council recommended that the Federal land condemnation bill be ex- tended to apply to acquisitions for the District government also. The District authorities have a separate condemna- tion bill pending, however. and Chair- man Capper indicated he thought it would be better to treat the two sepa- rately. Senator Blaine said he thought the Federal condemnation bill should be acted on soon in view of plans the Government has under way at this time Although the committee has not yet taken up the street railway merger prob- lem for detailed consideration, it was mentioned briefly at yesterday's meet- ing, when Senator Vandenberg of Michi- gan requested that the committee obtain information as to the basic valuations of street railway systems in cther im- portant cities. He said he wanted to determine how a $50,000,000 valuation for the merged company in Washington, with & population of 500,000, would with veluations in other muni- ities. The most important change in per- sonal tax procedure called for in the bill ordered favorably reported is the provision that hereafter the iax on automobiles shall be assessed and col- lected at the beginning of each calen- dar year, and the District is directed to withhold registration tags until the tax on a car has been paid. 1 ed to insure collection of all automobile personal taxes.
