Bill to Congress Until Dis

views from all residents of the Dis
trict before transmitting to Congress
the proposed bill to bring about auto

through the establishment Of a tax on
gasoline in Washington.
This assurance is given by Engineer
Commissioner Keller, who indicated
that the bill probably will not be sent
to Congress If 1t does not meet gen.
orally with the approval Of the COM
munity as a whole.
The colonel said that, on question
Of such general interest. he believes
the views Of the residents should be
sought. And he stated that as soon
as the draft of the bill Is in shape 1t
will be made public so that the public
may consider and debate its terms.
The state of Maryland already has
put the gas tax into effect within Its
borders. and, If Congress legislates a
similar tax in Washington. the Mary
land authorities are authorized to en-
ter into. a reciprocity agreement with
the District.
The plan contemplates the ultimate
elimination of the present annual
horsepower fee and the substitution of
the tax on each gallon OF gasoline

hood of the Takoma Park Presby-

took careful note of conditions which
he found. he said. Germany's f1nan-
cial straits are largely due to manipu-
