People Would Have Chance to
Take Part in Framing
Budget Estimates

will be similar to a city council

Commissioners in preparing their
budget and legislation is being
considered by Engineer Commits.
sioner j. Franklin Bell.
81 believe the people of the Dis
trict of Columbia, who now pay
taxes without representation
should have some say in the ex-
penditures of their money" Com
missioner Bell said, Particularly
IN view of present conditions,
with Congress appropriating a
lump sum and the. people supply
ing the other money necessary to
run the District government"
Favors Direct Representation.
Commissioner Bell said he had
no definite proposition in mind.
1T might be- well to elect such
a.
Iieve there should be such an
organization hers. OF course. it is
the Commissioners duty to repre-
sent the people We do. But
believe that little more direct
representation would be better"
Commissioner Bell pointed out
that today Congress Is besieged
with men and women asking for the
introduction of bills.
MANY of the bills are ignored, !"
he said. Others are called for
hearing and only one side shows
un If we had an advisory body
ell District legislation could be
submitted TO it and then forwarded
to Congress.
I'm this way Congress could
know whether the legislation pro-
posed has. the approval of the
people of the city or whether it is
being engineered by just few.
Help On Estimates.
Commissioner Bell believes that
such council could give invaluable
help to the Commissioners just be-
fore the estimates are prepared.
Under present circumstances, the
estimates are prepared secretly"
he said, "Such secrecy is provided
by law. The people do not know
just what's being done until after
the estimates are prepared and sent
to Congress.
with such a. council. we could
confer on the budget. We could
get the peoples views on just how
much should be spent, and what
projects are most meritorious. Then,
knowing the views of the people, we
could prepare our budget The
estimates
The Commissioner declared that
he believed that the District should
continue to fight for the restoration
Of the 60-40 fiscal relation plan.
