The House of Representatives
today refused to give the District
Of Columbia a single penny OF
Federal funds for 1885.
It did so by striking out OF
the 1885 appropriations bill an
entire paragraph when a point
of order was raised against it by
Representative Thomas L. Blan'
ton CDO of Texas.
The paragraph contained pro
visions for a tax reduction Of 80
cents per 500 and for the Fed
eral Government contribution of
$5,7OO,00O as it's share of the
Districts annual operating ex.
penses.
Few Realize Effects
The Houses action, which con-
stitutes one of the biggest up
sets in the history Of local fiscal
legislation, came with unexpected
suddenness shortly after the sup
ply bill was taken up under the
five-minute rule. Few members
seemed to realize the significance.
