Show SENATORS DRINK TOO MUCH WATER Washington, June 16. Apparently uneasy over the growing habit of mineral min-eral water drinking by senators and their office staffs, Senator Lodge yesterday yes-terday introduced and had ndopted a lesolutlon which Is expected to check the practice. The resolution Invests the committee on audit and control of all expenditures for running expenses ex-penses of the senate. Senator Bacon Inquired whether the passage of tho resolution would not Interfere with existing contracts. "Not at all," said Mr. Lodge. "It relates to running expenses, such as mineral water tor U6c in the senate office building." The bills for mineral water for senators' sen-ators' offices aro said to havo been unusually heavy, for tho senators demand de-mand and get the most expensive brands. Tho same spirit of economy that Is cutting down tho water bill Is hold responsible by the senators for the failure of tho summer lemonade to appear In tho senato cloak rooms. nn |
