HELD TOO HEAVY
Commissioners Declare
Budget Cannot Carry Bur-
den Provided in Bill.

Although expressing accord with
the general nature and objective of
the pending old-age pension bill, the
District Commissioners today advised
Chairman Norton of the House Dis
trict Committee that the District
budget cannot possibly carry the
financial load as set up by the bill.
THE aim of this legislation is di-
rected to the correction of a situ-
alton deserving attention in an ex-
treme degree" the letter from the
District heads advised Mrs. Norton.
There is no question of the value or
need of a well drafted and carefully
administered old-age pension bill.
Thus far, the Commissioners give it
hearty accord.
The chairman of the District Com
mittee is as fully aware as are the
Commissioners of the very drastic
financial restrictions imposed upon
the District government. In view of
these restrictions, the Commissioners
must state that the District budget
cannot possibly carry the financial
load Of supporting old age pensions
in the manner prescribed by this bill
at this time.
with this restriction, the Commis-
sioners emphatically state their ac-
cord with the general nature and the
objective of this legislation
