ADVERSELY
ON BANKERS BILL
Commissioners Ask the SEN
ate to Withhold Action.
MIGHT Do IN THE FUTURE
Hope Expressed That the Measure May
Become a Law Later-Treasury
Deposits Explained.

Final adverse action was taken today
by the District Commissioners on the
Senate bin providing that the taxes col
lected in the District be deposited with
the local national banks. In recon-
mending that the bill be not enacted
the Commissioners said they hoped it
could be made law at some time in the
future.
They repeated their assertion that the
District revenues should be 50 arranged
as 20 allow of the use Of the current
revenues Cor current expenses only
while the extraordinary improvements
could be paid for by sufficiently large
advances from the United States Treas
ury for a considerable length Of time.
Treasury Deposits.
In giving their reasons for not recon-
mending the passage Of the bin at the
present time the commissioners say:
THE obvious assumption upon which
this bill is based is that the revenues
annually received by the District, espe-
cially from general taxes. lie unused in
the Treasury awaiting gradual disburse-
meut over a comparatively extended pc
Rod; while the fact is that even under
normal conditions. when the annual rev.
enues of the District are sufficient TO
meet its proportion Of authorized ex-
pepditures, a large part of these Teve-
at once applied 20 cover advances made
by the United States for the District
share Of such expe nditures IN anuctpa-
tiCn Of such deposits.

facts Of im~ortaDre. having direct bear>
ing on the testimony of President Jo-

ing the testimony Of President Smith
