NEW CENTER BILL REPORT AWAITED Proposed Draft of Measure Expected Soon by D. C. Commissioners. ‘The Bureau of the Budget probably will be able to give the District Com- missioners an early report on the pro- posed draft of a bill to establish a new municipal center, it was indicated today. The Commissioners late yesterday ordered the draft sent to the Bureau of the Budget, but up to noon it had not_yet arrived. The subject has been the matter of informal discussion for some time, it is known, as the District Commis- sioners have been before the budget officers recently with their estimates for th: next fiscal year. The matter of a new municipal center was dis- cussed briefly at those conferences, and the Commissioners even pr n- | formally to the budget offi archi- | tect’s drawings of what the new center would look like when completed. ‘There was no indication at the Bureau of the Budget as to what its report | would be. The report from the Bureau | of the Budget to the Commissioners m the normal course of events will say | that the proposal either would be in conflict with or not in conflict with the the President’s financial program. ‘The proposed bill as ent outlines a smaller ar sition than was first projected for eventual size of the municipal center. But it was explained by District offi- cials that the smaller area woul be all that would be requested at once, though the larger would not be aban- |= doned as an eventual project. The proposed bill placed the center | on the two squares bounded by C street | on the south, Third and Sixth streets | on the east and west, Louisiana avenue | on the northwest and Indiana avenue | on the northeast. It is intended even- | tually to have it reach Pennsylvania | avenue on the south, SEEKS CELTIC'S CARGO. Salvagers Fear Liner Doomed, but | ‘Work to Save Freight. LIVERPOOL, England, December 19 (#).—Wnhile it is now feared that fur- ther attempts Celtie, stranded off Roche's Point near Cobh, are likely to prove futile, op- erations to recover what is possible of the cargo will be cominucd whenever the weather permits. “The trouble is that (he Celtic lies in such an exposed position that the possible times we can work on her are few,” said an official of the Liver- R Glasgow Salvage Association, which is working on the liner. ‘“Much of her cargo, which consists of metal, wheat and 30,000 barrels of apples and &nrs is likely to be rendered Wworthless fore we can get at it.” Most of the cargo owners were in- sured, he said, the loss thus falling on. the underwriters. 635 Ncw York Ave NW Two special bargains for Monday.

All next week and two days of the following week will constitute Christmas holidays, hence the teach- ers will have fuifilled their months’ classroom duties at the end of this week. Early payment of the salaries was made possible by a special, ruling of the Controller General, Maj. J. R. Lusby, disbursing officer of the schools, said today.
