n meetings were held during
N the past week commencing
with the Inter-Federation
Conference and several
citizens associations Monday, an
inspiring meeting of the Board of
Trade Wednesday and closing with
a special meeting of the Federation
Of Citizens Associations last night.
Interspersed were several neigh
borhood citizens association meet
ings and the first regular meeting
of the newly formed Joint Confer
ence of the Southeast Citizens As
SociationS. At most OF these meet
ings the 1896 budget was a matter
of grave consideration with the
prevailing sentiment seemingly be-
ing to hold down the budget to pre-
vent an increase of taxes. There
appeared to be likewise feeling
that there is little hope of obtain
ing, at this time, many of the
urgently needed capital projects
unless the Federal Government
recognizes its equitable obligation
and comes to the rescue.
District Budget
A Peculiar Problem.
THE budget problem Of the Dis
i trict is a most peculiar one
and probably different from
that of any other community. The
uncertainty as to the proportion to
be paid by its largest and all
powerful property owner and
largest industry introduces at the
beginning an element with which
it is impossible to reckon. Another
striking difference is that, as a
general rule, all capital expendi-
lures for the District are required
to be met out of current revenues.
In other communities such ex-
penditures are usually taken care
of by means of bond issue to be
paid off over term Of years.
Despite the popular prejudice in
and out of Congress against the
District going into debt, the fact
remains the District has climbed
by the steps of debt to its present
position of national admiration and
prosperity. 1t is also fact there
usually has been a much more
friendly attitude in Congress to-
ward the District when there has
been an outstanding Indebtedness
than when there has been an unex-
pended surplus in the Treasury to
the credit of the District.
P. w. A. funds advanced for the
sewage disposal plant are to give
the Capital in short order much
needed improvement which would
have been long delayed If the pay
as-you-go plan was followed. Some
civic leaders are beginning to ask
why should there not be building
program worked out for the new
municipal group Generally and
confusingly called the Municipal
Center"); school and library build
ings which are needed for the pres
ent as well as coming generations,
and also needed bridges which will
do service for half a century or
more. To these leaders it seems
lust as logical for the District to
borrow money to finance such q
municipal improvement plan as
for the private citizen to go into
debt to renovize or enlarge his own
home.

the opportunity for a candidate to
express his views on needed legisla-
ton I see but little occasion for in
cooperating the initiative feature.
1t is recognized by all members OF
Congress that the Federal Govern
ment Is obligated to share the cost
of the District government, but the
amount of this obligation Is subject
of annual discussion and dispute. We
believe that a scientific and equitable
method should be used in determining
the amount of this obligation and
the consequent annual appropriation
on the part Of the Federal Govern
ment In the discharge Of this obliga-
ton. This amount should be definite
and fixed and not uncertain and
f1uctuating. as at the present, de-
pending on the temper Of Congress.
other Needs Pointed Out.
1t is fully realized that many Of
these suggestions cannot be put into
effect without constitutional action,
but pending such action it is most
desirable that the nearest approach
permissible through legislative action
by Congress be provided Such legts-
lation should grant the fullest possible
legislative powers to the District Com
missioners, providing that all boards
and commissions that must be re-
tanned be appointed by the Commis-
sioners, that the budget should be
submitted directly to Congress, that
employees of the District government
should be residents of the District
and fully protected by civil service
Furthermore, Congress should be re-
lieved of the burdensome and unpleas-
ant task Of sitting as a board Of
aldermen and passing ordinances for
a city, with the needs of which they
are unfamilith, and in which they
have only a general and often times
not sympathetic interest.

toned frequently in this column
as examples of teamwork, have
been highly effective.
Prior to the organization of the
Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions, the associations abutting
Georgia (then Brightwood) avenue
formed a joint Street Railway
Committee, which continued its
work for several years. Through
cars and improved service on that
line was the direct result of this
effort.
The successful fight of a joint
committee formed by the Piney
Branch, Petworth, Park View,
Brightwood, Brightwood Park and
Columbia Heights Associations
against the erection of the GAL
linger Hospital group on the pres
ent site of the Roosevelt High
School and the Mcfarland Junior
High School was a memorable
civic victory.
Other group efforts in various
sections have been successful in
bringing about a union of ideas
and efforts in behalf of real sec-
tional needs. There is widespread
approval OF the idea of such joint
effort and there has been recent
suggestion that a conference be
formed in the Northwest section.
Some close students of civic or
ganizations say they can see only
good in these joint efforts as long
as they confine themelves to their
neighborhood problems. However,
they can see danger to the fedora
ton if these sectional groups be-
gin to play politics and attempt
to operate as blocs in the fedora
ton,

TROM press reports one would

recent organization of the
Joint Conference of the Southeast

proposed expansion of the North

brace the entire Northeast section

contrary is true, though the rule
generally followed has been, as oc-

federation be made advisory mem
bers Of the committee
This is a most important UNDER
taking and one for which the con-
ference is peculiarly adapted. The
question involved is one Of in
creasing Importance because OF
the rapid increase of vehicular
traffic, especially the heavy freight
movement by trucks. The move
ment Of through freight by trucks
across the District already has be-
come an acute problem, some OF
the residence streets being in con-
tinuous use as freight lines for
freight originating outside the Dis
trict and destined for distant
points.
Property owners and residents of
some of these streets are beginning
to protest in vigorous terms against
the nuisance of these almost con-
tinuous freight trains passing in
front of their doors, jarring pic
lures and plastering from the
walls and causing other annoy
ance. The answer seems to be
system of bypass highways to
route such traffic around instead
of through the District.
The proposed high level bridge
to replace Chain Bridge is link
in such bypass system. but it
has met with little favor in some
of the very sections affected by
the through freight nuisance. 1t
is true that this proposed bridge
would connect Virginia and
Maryland highways and would be
of convenience to the residents of
those sections. but it seems to be
also of a prospective value to the
District If it would keep the heavy
freight traffic off the city streets.

The Board Of Trades

OIVIC interest was much In

meeting of the Board Of

dent Robert v. Fleming presented
an exhaustive and interesting re-
port of the activity during the
Summer months. Such reports are

to converse. This was not the case
with Mr.. Fleming's report, for the
audience drank in every word and
seemed to like it as well as the wit,
humor and fiery eloQuence later in
the evening.
This was the first meeting since
the merging of the Chamber of
Commerce and the Board Of Trade,
and a number of the old chamber
members were present for the first
time at a Board of Trade meeting.
While Gov. Eugene Black Of the
Federal Reserve Bank at Atlanta
was advertised as the special at
traction, and he did make a great
speech, the honors were really car
ried of by Commissioner Hazen.
Mr.. Hazen got of to a humorous
start in his usual vein and wound
up with a discussion of what he
termed a starvation budget Of op-
Grating expenses without any capi-
tai expenditures. The president
of the Board of Commissioners en-
deared himself to his audience by
the strong case he made for the
assuming by the Federal Govern
ment of a larger and more equita-
BILE share of the cost of Capital op-
Grafton and upbuilding. He pledged
the very best effort of the Commis-
sioners to obtain from Congress a
larger appropriation of Federal
funds and was particularly strong
in a plea that the District budget
be prepared by the Commissioners
and sent direct to Congress. Mr..
Hazen made an earnest appeal to
the citizens to back up the Com
missioners in every possible way to
obtain favorable action on Capitol
Hill.
Appeals were made to the assem-
blage by speakers for the Red Cross
and the Community Chest.
Thomas P. Littlepage, chairman Of
the local Federal Housing Commit
tee, was at his best in explaining
the home renovizing and modern
izing plans and appealing for
hearty cooperation to put it across
in a big way in the District.

Alley Cleanup
To Get Under Way.

1O OCt OhuCE Wdys
THE hopes of years appear
about to be realized. The
very old civic problem of
getting rid of the inhabited alleys
under discussion and consideration
for so many years is to be solved
and the first steps in its solution
are about to be taken. The Alley
Dwelling Authority has been set
up, with Commissioner Hazen as its
chairman, and this official body
has started by doing a very star
Ting thing-the appointment of
one Washington man as executive
officer and secretary and a native
Washingtonian as administrative
assistant.
Organized civic Washington was
hardly prepared for this shock.
When 1t was found necessary to
send outside the District for so
simple an undertaking as provid-
ing lunches for the school children,
it was deemed as improbable that
there would be found available
local talent for so complicated
job as getting rid Of these alleys.
John Ihlder. a member of the
Georgetown Citizens Association
and a former delegate to the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations, is
a recognized authority on housing
and has devoted much time
through a number of years to leg
islation for the elimination of the
inhabited alleys of the city. He
will have a well-informed and
able assistant in James Ring, for
