HOME SEWER FUND
DEFICIENT S15O,O(l)
Extensions to New Construc.
ton Will Be Halted Unless
Congress Acts.

The Sewer Department will not be
able to make the necessary exten-
sions to provide sanitation for houses
expected to be completed in Wash
ington between now and July 1 un-
less Congress provides a deficiency
fund of s150,ooo. officials declared
yesterday.
A few days ago it developed that
the Water Department would be
forced to stop extending water con-
nections to new houses from Feb
ruary until the fiscal year ends in
July unless 1t gets $4,000 additional
While the Sewer Department has
sufficient money left to keep its men
at work during the remainder Of the
fiscal year, the unexpended balance is
far from adequate to lay the exten-
sions that have been ordered by the
Commissioners, not to speak of other
extensions that will be asked for by
builders during the next five months
officials say.
Increase Is Explained.
J. b Gordon, sanitary engineer, ex'
planned the financial situation in his
department yesterday as follows:
The current appropriation for max.
ing sewer extensions to supply new
buildings was s250.000. With half o,
the fiscal year still ahead, $160,000 o,
that amount had been obligated VI
to January 1. OF the unexpendet
$4,000 the department estimate,
$4,000 will be needed for overhead
leaving $4,000 available for exten
sions.
The amount Of extension work al
ready ordered by the Commissioner.
would cost sos, 900, and Mr. Gordor
estimates that between now and Jun,
additional extensions to the amounr
OF 100000 will become necessary. Ths
remaining $4,000 available, together
with the requested sum Of S150,O00
would take care of nearly all the con.
templated work.
In preparing their estimates q
year ago the Commissioners asked for
s350,000 for this class of sewer work
but when the appropriation &C,
emerged from Congress 1t carried the
reduced amount of s250,000.
Sanitary Engineer Gordon pointed
out yesterday that between 35 and
40 per cent of the money spent in
providing sewer service to new
houses goes back into the Treasury
in the form of assessments agatns,
the property owners which material
ly reduces the actual cost of the
work.
To show the necessity for more lib
eral allotments for house service
sewers, Mr.. Gordon also pointed out
that records of the building inspec.
tors office show no let-up in building
activity in Washington.
Building permits for the first five
months. of this fiscal year have ex-
ceeded by s6,000.o00 the permits for
the same period a year ago, Mr.. Cor.
don said.
