NEW PLAN To PAY
DEBT Of DISTRICT
Commissioner Judson Pro-
poses a Scheme Which
Associates Approve.
HE WOULD GIVE MORE
TIME FOR LIQUIDATION
Suggests twenty-five Years for
Clearing Off membranes.
PERMANENT WORKS IN VIEW
Scheme Would Insure Expenditure
of $50, ooo, 900 in Extraordi-

Twelve Years.
Extraordinary Improvements.
Plan Proposed.

1t is proposed If Congress shall
extend the time during which the
debt shall be paid to some such
period as twenty-five years that it
shall be made obligatory upon the
Commissioners, In submitting their
estimates, to provide annually for
such reduction OF the debt as will
make it each year less and finally
extinsuish it, principal and interest,
in about twenty-five years; to bor-
row no more money from the
United States Treasury or else
where. and to provide annually
for extraordinary improvements.

Commissioners Point Out
Advantages of the Plan

The advantages of the new plan for
financing the current and extraordinary
needs of the District government were
pointed out by the Commissioners this
morning.
Maj. Judson said:
THE following considerations lead me
to advocate the passage of bill designed
to make it the duty of the Commissioners,
in submitting estimates hereafter, to pro-
vide for the payment Of the debt at such
rate as will continually reduce it and
extinguish it in about twenty-five years,
at the same time providing for so-called
extraordinary improvements at such a
rate as will insure the expenditure OF
$9OOOc,OCO on permanent improvements
within the next twelve years.
THE resources of the District are now
ample to permit of the application of
such a plan. The annual resources have
been increasing for number of years,
and will doubtless continue to Increase, a;
the rate of about 100000 per annum.
This. at the present time, is an annual
increase of about 4 per cent. Our cur
rent expenditures are functions of the
area of the District. which does not in
crease: of population which increases at
rate of only about per cent per an
mum. and of rising standards of municipal
endeavor. Even if these standards may
be admitted to rise much more rapidly
in Washington than in her sister cities,
nevertheless, it is apparent from the fact
that the area Is. stationary, and the pop
ulation increasing less rapidly than the
resources. that current needs may be
amply cared for without adding to ex-
penditures for such purposes each year
more than four-fifths of the increase in
resources.
Move for New Projects.
"A close study of this situation has led
me to believe that for the reasons given
above an increasing amount may be de-
voted each year to the so-called extraordi-
nary projects, and that this may be an
nually a substantial sum. commensurate
with the demands, if Congress will extend
the time for paying the debt SO that it
may be paid less rapidly than Is now pro-
vided by law. 1t will be an easy matter.

BY Commissioner West.

ectS or Improvement by means OF the
plan proposed
By Commissioner West.
Commissioner West said:
The plan proposed for the readjust-
ment of the District finances has met
with my heartiest approval and co-opera-
me by Maj. Judson. and I have taken a
great deal of pleasure in assisting In the
elaboration of the idea. 1t has been given
most careful examination and I do not
see wherein 1t can fail to produce the
anticipated results. 1t renders absolutely
unnecessary any issue of bonds or the
obtaining of any more advances from the
federal Treasury. besides which it allows
for the expenditure of about one million
dollars year for the large projects
which, in the past have been called
extraordinary improvements. These ad-
mirable results are accomplished without
affecting in the slightest degree the
status of the 3.6J bonds. which are all to
be redeemed at the time of their legal
maturity. fifteen years hence.
PERSONALLY 1 believe that when the
District is finally freed from the debt of
the Shepherd regime and of the obliga-
tons. amounting to four million dollars
which have been incurred by the i'm
provements in the last few years there
will be no necessity for any debt of any
kind. either to provide for great improve
ments or for current expenditures.
THE program now outlined will re-
move any danger OF an increase in the
rate. of taxation, inasmuch as the pres
ent rate will produce ample revenues,
especially If the law can be changed so
as to secure annual instead Of trien-
NAL assessments so that property which
becomes valuable through the process
of development can more promptly bear
Its proper share of taxation.
Maj. Judson's plan has been under
consideration for several weeks and has
been subjected to severe cross-examina-
hastily conceived and executed program.
If Congress will enact it into law the
problem, of the improvements Of the
National Capital without mourning debt
will be solved
