Delegates National Congress Witness Headon Crash
at Twenty-eighth and Calvert Streets.

There, the responding officers will
photograph the machines after the 'ac-
cident," take measurements of their re-
spective locations, and statements of
drivers and witnesses.
The whole thing has been arranged,
Inspector Brown said, to demonstrate
the necessity of traffic investigation
service to establish the responsibility
for street accidents.
One of the machines will be faulty
mechanically, and the investigating
officers will determine which of the
drivers was to blame, aside from the
mechanical defect The colliding auto
mobiles will be equipped with the regu-
lation windshields. Police feel the value
of the demonstration will outweigh a
possibility of injury to the two drivers.

FISCAL RELATIONS
REPORT IS READY
Efficiency Bureau Report to
Go Before Senate Dis
trict Committee.

The Bureau Of Efficiency will be ready
soon after Congress reconvenes in De-
cember to lay before the Senate District
Committee a new report on fiscal rela-
tions between the Federal and District
governments, but the nature Of its con-
clusions will not be known until the
document is submitted.
The bureau In recent years has made
two comprehensive reports on the sub
ject to congressional committees. In the
second report, in 1880, it recommended
formula for determining Uncle Sans
annual share by ascertaining the liza
bility of the Federal Government as a
municipal taxpayer and considering the
loss of revenue here by reason of the
fact that 1t Is the National Capital The
application of the formula at that time
would have placed the Federal share at
$40, l83,3 ,39l.
Asked by Committee.
The new report has been asked for by
the Senate Committee in connection
with its inquiry into the program of
District taxation brought forward dur
ing the past year by the Mapes Com
mittee in the House. That program
seeks to establish several new forms Of
taxation on District residents. and also
includes a bill seeking to repeal the
substantive provision by which the 6040
ratio of expense, between the District
and Federal governments was estab-
lished.
Although Congress has made annual
departures from this ratio in recent
years by fixing a lump sum Federal
share. it has never repealed the sub
stantive 60-40 provision.
The Efficiency Bureau has already
submitted separate analyses of the va
rious Mapes tax bills, and the task now
before it is to report on the basic prob
lem of fiscal relations, which is in
volved in the effort to repeal the 60-40
law.
To Study Tax Bills.
Oficials Of the Efficiency Bureau in
dicated as early as last March that its
present study of the broad fiscal rela-
tions issue would take into conSidera
ton, among other things. the effect the
Mapes tax bills, If enacted, might have
on the formula previously recommend
ed The bureau, however. is giving no
intimation of what its forthcoming
conclusions will be.
The Mapes bills were rushed through
the House at the last session, but the
Senate Committee, headed by Chair
man Capper, took steps to have them
carefully analyzed before any of them
are acted on. They are still pending in
the committee.
