POINTS TO BENEFITS
BOUGHT WITH TAXES
Maj. Bell Says No Other Expendi.
ture Brings So Much
in Return.
ALL GOES FOR ESSENTIALS
Chart Showing Expenditures of
D. G. Is Noted.

No expenditure from the family
turn as the money paid as taxes,
Engineer Commissioner Bell declared
today.
"Most American families" said
Maj Bell, spend large sums for nom
essentials and for appearance. The
amounts spent in the United States
for tobacco. candy. chewing gum and
such things are very large. While
it is the duty of every Official to- see
to it that every dollar of the public
funds is pent as wisely and economi-
cally as practicable. it would appear
to be in the interest of good govern
ment and for the stability of our
Anne rican institutions to call atten-
tion to the fact that perhaps no
expenditures made from the family
budget bring such great benefits as
those spent for taxes.
Chart on Uses.
THE auditor OF the District of CO.
lumbia has prepared a chart show
ing the relative amount of taxes eX-
pended for various purposes in the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1928. This
is shown graphically, and by tabula-
ton on the attached chart by sup
posing that each dollar expended had
had it's proportional amount applied
for the purpose indicated.
1T is believed that this tabulation
will be of interest to the taxpayers
of the District for two reasons-tirst,
it shows just how their money is be-
ing expended, and, secondly, 1t will
serve to call attention to the benefits
derived from the taxes paid.
'It is the duty and purpose of the
officials Of our District government t.
expend this money 50 as to give the
residents and the national govern
ment the greatest benefits possible.
Ten Per Cent for Health.
reference to the table will show
that about 10 per cent of our taxes
are expended for health and santa
tion, |. G., for the maintenance of the
health department, for the construc-
ton and maintenance of sewers, the
cleaning of streets and the disposal
of garbage, trash and ashes.
About 10 per cent is spent also
for the construction and maintenance
of streets. roads, sidewalks, bridges
and for lighting our streets.
Our schools and public libraries
take about 35 per cent of the total.
The expenses for general admins
tration and for our courts compris,
nearly 6 per cent.
Expenses pertaining to the pro
lection of life and property. that is.
for the police and fire departments
and for similar activities, amount t.
over II per cent.
The cost of our charitable and cor
rective institutions, that is, of hos
pitfalls homes Tor the INDECENT. help
less and insane and of jails and
reformatories, amounts to nearly IL
per cent.
Our parks. trees and Fairgrounds
cost per cent of the total.
The remainder is spent for in

cidentals. that is. about per cent"
