ONL Y WAY
TOGET It
NOW

District taxpayers will have
to bear the entire cost Of .
municipal airport if they want
one Immediately.
d That is the staus of the Stalker
bill TO establish a municipal airport
at Gravelly Point, according 20 .
letter written to the District Com
missioners by Senator Arthur HI.
Vandenberg. Of Michigan. Chairman
OF the special airport subcommittee
of the Senate district committee.
The airport bin. as It was or.
iginaIly drafted. the District Com
nissioners provided for an equal
division or the cost OF the project
between the District and the Fed.
erai governments.
The Budget Bureau. however.
vetoed this feature of the bill and
decided that the entire cost OF the
airport should be paid by the Dis
trict.
The Commissioners must now de.
eide whether they will accept the
Budget Bureaus terms in the hope
or getting immediate action on the
bill, or make fight to have the
Federal Government share tire ex-
pense. which would undoubtedly
delay enactment of the bill until
some future time.

MERGER
WATTS

The traction merger resolu-
ton which has been pending
before the merger subcommit-
tee Of the Senate District
Committee for about week is
expected to be reported to the
full committee at a meeting
within a day or two.
Senator Blaine, of Wisconsin, has
completed the draft OF amend
ments he is planning to offer to
the resolution. The subcommittee
meeting was postponed to allow
him to complete this work.
Aimed At Valuation
One Of Senator Blaine's proposed
an iments is designed to direct
the Public Utilities Commission in
making the valuation of the merged
company, which. according to the
terms OF the new agreement. must
be made Immediately after the com.
panles are merged.
1t will set forth that the basis
TO be used In the valuation Is the
amount OF money prudentiy In
vested in the company rather than
the cost OF reproduction at the
present time.
Blaine's amendment Is expected
to meet with opposition in the
subcommittee il 1t attempts to tie
the commission down TO any set
formula for making the valuation.
Bill In Danger
II the subcommittee rejects
Blaine's amendments It may mean
that he win make a minority re-
port to the Senate ON the merger
resolution which would seriously
eendanger its chances of being en-
acted at this time.
Senator Capper. chairman Of the
committee, believes the only hope
for the merger resolution, IL .
united report from the committees.
He Is afraid that any oppAtition
to it in the COMMITTEES will pre-
vent 1t from coming up on the
