been borne by the general government 1t is
Wen known that part of the land in the Dis
trict OF Columbia was given in fee simple by
The prOprletorS thereof to the United States for
the use OF the government as national capital,
ana that the states OF Virginia and MARYLAND
contributed money amounting to 1920 for the
purpose OF erecting the capitol and the depart
ment buildings. This money, together with the
proceeds OF such lands in the District as have
been purchased by private persons, amounting
TO about two millions, was expended by commits

one question, which has for long time
formed prominent feature of every attempt
TO estimate the amount Of money raised by tax
ing the people OF the District of Columbia for
the support OF the local government, can now
DE settled. A controversy has been raised at
nearly every session OF Congress with regard to
the amounts contributed in the past, respec-
lively, by the general government and by the
people OF the District. The above figures show
the amount paid by the general government
and it now only remains for the District Com
m1ssioners TO supplement this with similar
showing from their own records for the same
period Of time.
