up to a few years ago the Federal

l. later changed to the 6O-40 plan. and
for the past two years the Federal
lGovernment's contribution to the Dis
trict needs and expenses has been a
Hump sum amounting to approximately
100 per cent
Several years ago l urged the Board

paid for entirely out of the revenues of

adopted. however, and the present
system was put into operation. We
might as we'll meet this problem in a
practical way and realize that with a
budget growing each year, municipal
improvements can only be made by
applying AZ tax rate that is fair and
equitable and then submitting to the
Federal authorities the plans for mu-
nicipal improvements which are most
needed and which can be met by the
revenues available.

strongly that if every question of
municipal administration and inn
provements must be submitted to the
director of the budget for his ap-
proval before being transmitted tn
Congress-then the citizens Of the
District, those who pay the taxes,
should be given a formal hearing be.
fore the budget officials. This is a
principle which was inausurated
more than a hundred years ago, when
the American Colonies threw down
the gauntlet to the mother country
