B—12 *# ALLEY DWELLERS BILL IS APPROVED Senate District Committee Favors Right to Borrow From R. F. C. The Senate District Committee, at what was probably its final meeting in the present session of Congress, yesterday approved five bills propos- ing District legislation, among them the measure to abolish alley dwellings in the capital, which has been under | consideration by the committee for sev- | eral months. Amended to include a provision au- thorizing the District. Zommissioners to borrow from the FKeconstruction Fi- nance Corporation to carry out the provisions of the act, the bill would dis- continue the use of.clley buildings as dwellings. Previde for Squares. 1t also would provide for the re- platting and development of squares containing inhabited alleys, “in the interest of public health, comfort, morals, safety and welfare.” The amendment to authorize a loan from the Reconstruction Corporation was suggested by Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant, 3d, executive officer of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, who has long been a stanch advocate of legislation to abol- ish alley dwellings in the Capital. Banking Measure Favored. The committee acted favorably also on a bill already passed by the House which would further regulate banking, banks, trust companies and building and loan associations in the District. As interpreted by F. G. Awalt, acting controller of the currency, who testified at the committee meeting, the bill would place Washington banks more under the control of the controller of the currency and would place more stringent regulations on bullding and loan organizations. A joint resolution to change thel! | name of B street southwest, beginning at South Capitol street and running west to Independence avenue also was approved. Legislation which would amend the | District Code to provide fees to be| | charged by the District recorder of deeds also was approved. ‘The committee approved a bill au- thorizing the construction of a pipe line by the Jacobs Transfer & Storage Co. under First street northeast, be- tween L and M streets, amending the legislation so as to give the District Commissioners more discretion in the determination of the location of the pipe line, PROBABLE AS'SISTANTS OF FARLEY ARE NAMED New Postmaster General Reported to Have Decided Definitely on Three Positions.
