that heretofore appropriations have

from the subcommittee report which
was unanimously adopted by the full

as every project under consideration

Board of Trade. Nevertheless, the
committee naturally. for its own pur-
poses, gave consideration to the rela-
tive importance and necessity of the
feel satisfied that the figure determin-
ed upon would be fair to the needs of
the city and taxpayers alike, and
consistent with the growth of the Ma
tional Capital.
I'VE believe in the definite proper
tionate plan of Federal participation
in making the National Capital the
finest city in the world. But if this
does not obtain in providing for the
revenues for the fiscal year 1927. we
feel the Government share should
be substantial increase over the
contribution for the fiscal year 1926.
In conclusion, we recommend that
the real property tax for the fiscal
year 1927 should not be in excess of
e1.7o. the probable rate for the fiscal
year 1926. and that appropriations
should be held within a figure that
would preclude higher rate. Even

The board of directors of the

committee. recommending that the
real property tax for the fiscal year
1927 should not be in excess of s1.70.
and that appropriations should be
held within a figure that would pre-
clude a hisAar rate.
