SURPLUS SAFE,
DC. HEADS SAY
Dispute Focht's Assertion Fund
Is Observation-Disclosures by
Comptroller Cited.

Acts of Congress appropriating
money for the upkeep of the Dis
trict government prove beyond a
doubt that the existence Of the sur
plus fund Of the District now in the
Treasury has been recognized on
Capitol Hill. This statement was
made today by officials of the Dis
trict government in answer to the
declaration yesterday by Congress-
man Focht, chairman of the House
District Committee, that the $4,000
600 credited to the District was
merely a bookkeeping straw man,
and that no fund existed.
CROPS OUT AGAIN.
This situation. in which members
of Congress state that the District
revenues over and above the actual
needs OF the District become the
property of the Federal Government,
has been discussed before. but, al
though decided In favor of the Dis
trict, 1t crops out again.
The last time the question was up
was in 1908, when the District Com
missioners asked the Comptroller OF
the Treasury for a decision. At that
time Comptroller Tracewell said:
"This indicates that the account
with the District of Columbia is to be
kept as personal account between
the District OF Columbia and the
United States and that all revenues
received shall be treated as payne It's
on account and credited to the Dis
trict as such"
In another part of his opinion
Tracewell said:
"All the various acts indicate that
the relation of debtor and creditor
shall be created between the United
states and the municipal corporation
OF the District of Columbia in tn,
disposition of such revenues"
CREDITED TO DISTRICT.
The funds deposited in the Treasury
by the District government are no,
held in trust, the comptroller said
but were placed to the actual credit
OF the District government.
District officials said that the rela.
ton of debtor and creditor was forc,-
bly, brought to the front several years
ago when many of the permanent irr
provements were being constructed
During the time that the Highway
bridge, Connecticut avenue bridge
and other big works were being built
the revenues of the District were not
sufficient to pay for them, and ar
agreement was made between the Dis.
trict to carry on the projects. Fol
this money the District paid 2 per cert
a year, finishing paying principal and
Interest in 1916. Since that time the
balance has been on the District side
