Just Contribution BY Fed
eraI Government

A $10,000,000 Federal lump sum
contribution to the District for the
next fiscal year was recommended
today by Representative Howard
w. Smith CD of Virginia.
Commenting on the investiga-
ton of the District tax rate
ordered by President Roosevelt,
Representative Smith referred tax
experts to the report of the Blu
reau of Efficiency several years
ago which recommended the $10,.
100000 contribution to District eX-
penses.
The Mapes tax bills, introduced
in Congress several years ago by
Representative Carl Mapes (R0
of Michigan, were based on the
Bureau of Efficiency's complete
and thorough study" according
to Mr.. Smith, who continued:
"ThOse tax experts who are
studying the District tax rate
would do well to look over that
report. 1t was recommended at
that time that a $1O,OOO,OOO
contribution would be the Fed
eral Governments just share in
the expenses of running the
District of Columbia"
District officials are now max
ing a study of local taxes, with a
view To recommending an euult.
able lump sum contribution.
