BUDGET HEARINGS
BEGIN At BUREAU
Smaller Agencies Called
First-Discussion to Last
Two Weeks.

with smaller municipal agencies
being called in first, the Budget Bu-
reau today began hearings on the
District budget for the fiscal year
1936-37. The hearings are expected
to last two weeks.
The Commissioners submitted esti-
mates amounting to $47,477.1 .160 and
urged that the Federal share toward
this budget be fixed at $s,317,5o0. II
these recommendations should os
approved by the Budget Bureau and
Congress, the District would have 4
balanced budget on the present tax
rate Of 3150 per 500 Of assessed
value.
The Federal lump sum payment ad-
vocated by the Commissioners is the
same amount urged last year and
represents an average of the various
Federal payments Congress has made
during the last 10 years.
The Senate at the Last session OF
Congress approved this amount as the
Federal share for the current appro-
priation act, but the House opposed
any increase and succeeded in hold
ing the Federal payment to $5,70o,0Uo.
While the budget hearings are go
ing on there may be a meeting later
In the week Of the Special Committee
Of District officials appointed to make
q long-range study Of the city's tax
system and revenue needs for a num-
Der Of years to come. Up to this time
the committee has merely been col
lecting information.
It probably will be Wednesday be-
fore the Commissioners begin to take
part in the budget hearings. There
has been no indication yet as to how
much OF the District estimate the
budget oficials will approve, or what
they will recommend regarding the
Federal payment.
