Meet With Budget Bureau to
Discuss Program Calling for
$1,287,o00 Expenditure.
IMPROVEMENTS WOULD
COVER 5-YEAR PERIOD
Project Requires Raising Rates or
Taking Money From General
Tax Fund.

The District Commissioners at the
daily meeting with officials of the Bud
get Bureau considering the Districts
1891 estimates, today were endeavorine
to secure the bureaus approval of its
five-year program for improvement OF
the water distribution system. The city
heads met early this morning to plan
their arguments, and left Immediately
for the bureau after q short meeting
accompanied by Assistant Engineer
Commissioner Hugh P. Dram, who
wrote the report recommending the
five-year program. At the Budget Btu
reau they were to meet Maj. Brehon b.
ficer for this district, who concurred in
the report.
Recommends Radical Change.
The report, which recommended a
radical departure in the method OF
financing Washingtons water works
called for expenditure of $l,2S7,00C
from the general tax levy over the five-
year period for important improvements
in the distribution system, including
reconstruction and enlargement of CID
mains, laying many lew mains and
building a reservoir In Anacostia.
Heretofore all such projects have been
paid for out Of water rents, which are
kept separate from the rest OF the
Districts revenues. This practice had
brought the District to the point where
its distribution system was getting out
of date, and there was no money In
sight from revenues to meet the needed
improvements. Two courses remained
open-to raise the water rates or tc
get the extra money from the general
tax fund. Capt Dram recommended
the latter course, and this is what the
Commissioners are now discussing with
the Budget Bureau.
Distribution System Paying.
While the Budget Bureaus refusal to
consider the new plan would not be
absolutely fatal. as Congress could over
ride its recommendations and approve
the Commissioners scheme, a refusal by
the bureau would be q severe blow to
the chances of securing the appropriate
legislation. II is believed that the Com
.Ffiissioners will argue that the equities
of the situation demand the change
sought. The Districts cash surplus
with more than $4,000, 900, is in a
healthy condition. The distribution
system Is now paying, according to
Capt. Oram's figures, a return in excess
of per cent on the capital invested
and to seek capital for further invest
ment through an increase in rates Is
not in line with good commercial
practice.
