Measure Slashed to Avoid
$2.29 Tax Rate, Says
Chairman Davis.

The largest appropriation bill for
the District Of Columbia ever offered
to Congress is being discussed in the
House THE afternoon.
Chairman Davis of the subcommit-
tee OF the House appropriations COM
mittee that drafted this bill en-
phasized that the reduction Of $751;
032 from the estimates of the District
Commissioners was made as the only
alternative for avoiding a tax rate
Iof &2.29. He pointed out that some
street improvements were neglected
in order that the largest possible
amount might be made available for
giving the school children of the Dis
trict all of the facilities recommended
by the Commissioners.
:. House Leader Mondell congrAtulafed
The House and the committee on such
reasonable bill. General assurance
was given that it would be passed
without any material change.
When he took the floor to explain
the bill as the first speaker under
three hours general debate Mr.. Davis
told the House that in drafting the
upon the District Taxpayers in pro-
portion to the draft on the federal
Treasury. the committee had assur-
ances from the proponents Of the old
$3.50 percentage that they would
agree on the s0-40 basis this year.
MF LAWS S0Iu lie, OGIleVeO IfOm ali
that he has heard that the business
men of Washington are well pleased
with the present basis.
Mr.. Davis pointed out that tho
present bill is the largest apprupri-
alton measure for the District. ever
presented to Congress-, and that, while
the committee was obliged to cut
heavily into the estimates, he believed
that Congress will agree to 1T with
out dissenting voice. He called at
tention to the fact that additional ap-
preparations for the District. will be
provided for in other appropriation
measures. probably to the extent of
$3.3S2.94s. II all Of these are put
through. he said. ii will mean a total
Of more than $4,000. 600 appropriated
for the District for the next fiscal
year.
He said the committee had hewn 80
close to the line that he did not believe
the House would fnd it possible to cut
on another hundred thousand without
interfering with existing law.
In discussing the question of salaries,
Chairman Davis said that the police
men. f1remen and teachers had been
given new salary schedules last year.
and in framing the bill for the next fis-
cal year. the committee realized that IL
it granted general increases to all the
clerks 1t would put the bill out Of bounds
and force An increased tax rate.
