trict and Federal governments to-
day became Of paramount import
ance in the House consideration Of
local affairs.
Representative Frederick N.
Zihlman of Maryland, chairman
Of the District Committee, today
introduced q resolution providing
for the creation of q joint COM
mission to study this question with
view to the preparation of . per-
manent fiscal relationship plan.

The House Appropriations Conn
miftee completed its preparations
for hearings on the District apprO-
priati0ns bin which will begin at
1890 q. M, Tuesday. The fiscal
relationship plan viii be the first
item taken up for consideration by
Of the past two years win be con-
Efforts will be made, however, to
from $4,000 900 to $10,000, 900.
The ZihIman resolution authorizes
the appointment of a commission
Of three Senators and three Repre-
sentatfyes.
The commission is instructed to
base its investigation upon the old
percentage relationship system
which obtained before the lump
sum system was adopted. The
study also viii cover the lump
sum form.
Permanent Basis Sought
It win be the duty OF the COM
mission to determine upon some
fixed percentage basis or sliding
lump-sum schedule which win re-
suit in d permanent settlement Of
the controversy which has con-
tinued for years.
The resolution directs that all Dis
trict Officials and employees furnish

possible reorganization Of the BUSH
ness administration of the District.
The commission Is directed 70 re-
port to the Senate and House not

The zihiman resolution is similar
TO the resolution introduced last
year BY Representative r. Walton
Moore Of Virginia with regard to
the fiscal Relationship investigation.
Provisions OF the Moore bill.
however, were eliminated at the
request Of the District Commits
sioners. They provided for In
vestigation OF the relations Of the
District Government with depart
ments and branches Of the Federal
Government to ascertain whether
the powers OF local officials should
be increased. This section was de-
signed to free the District Govern
ment from control Of the Budget
Bureau In the preparation OF es-
Inmates.
The Moore measure also provided
for q thorough study OF the Dis
trict Government as a basis OF re-
organization.
