solidate.
This matter was pract'icttii'iy di?| osed
of by the ways and means eom.eiti-.e
of the H.use of Representatives J'es
iterday. It is true that Secretary: Ly
muti Gage of the treasury recommend?
ed that seve.ul ..'usOoms districts in tliiis
State be consolidated, but there s no
bill with llhal oojeet vn v'.ew pending
in' either blanch of Congress,
Newport News was well represented
at the meeting of the ways .nut means
committee yesterday, as will lie s^on
toy the fo.lowing special dispatch re?
ceived by the Daily Press lost n'ight
from Washington:
'The committee on ways and means
olf the House of Representatives gave a

tricts of Virg'inia. Among those pres?
ent were de'legatbi.r-^ *iom Newport

'The treasury department was repre?
sented 'by Assistant Secretary Hloweli,
who Is understood to be the author of
the plan for ihe consolidation, and by
Special Agent \V. S. Chan e. Both
gentlemen spjke in bJhalf of the plan
as orig.inu.ly proposed in the report of
Secretary (l?ge. The Norfolk and Pe?
tersburg dek-gations opposed the bill.
"Mayor W. K. Mayo, of Norfolk was
the first speaker. He made a vigforcus
protest against the proposed legisla?
tion of merging the Norfolk and Ports?
mouth district Into Newport News,
claiming that it wouJld be on injustice
;to a district whose business was con?
stantly Increasing; that it w uid des?
troy individuality and impair the credit
of the old district, would be anything
but economical and finally thai there
was no reason that could be raised in
favor of iL 'He said that since the eu.s
.to<ms district has existed in Norfolk
imM'lions Uf dollars of revenue have been
gathered and many .businesses devel?
oped wh'leh would be hurt by a change
now.
"Ma R. G. Bickford s;oke in favor
of Newport News. Wh le he did not
Insist that the recommendation should
ll>e carried ou't Air. Rk'kford took occa?
sion to lay 'before the committee the
many advantages the Newport News
harilxir has over Norfolk.
"Congressmen Young anid Epes were
.present durin? the hearing, but took
no part.
"It was stated this evening toy flhe
clerk to the commOttee ,n ways an.l
means that up to t.h'.s time there is no
'bill pending for tin- conso idation of th,.
customs districts in either the House i ,?
