HAzEN SEES NEED
FOR FISCAL STUDY
Asks Clear Revelation oil
Faets-Per Capita Tax
Load Above 20 Cities.

Hopes that a comprehensive and
unbiased. study may be made of all
pertinent phases of the question of
District and Federal fiscal relations
was voiced today by Commissioner
Melvin c. Hazen.
Commenting on the study made by
Treasury Department officials, Com
missioner HAGEN pointed to the frank
admission in the report that it was
not thorough enough to produce con-
illusions which might not be open
to question.
Figures gathered by District As
sesscr william P. Richards, the Com
missioner said, show that the per
capita property assessment here Is
higher than in 20 other cities, being
exceeded only by that of New York.
The Commissioner found Satisfac-
ton in the recommendation by the
Treasury experts that a more COM
prehensive study should be made by
experts both in and out of the Dis
trict government.
The District Government and the
District taxpayers, he said, should
be amply represented on any group
named to make a final study Of the
problem.
He emphasized there were many
pertinent phases Of the local taxation
situation not covered in the taxation
and assessment figures mentioned in
the report Of the Treasury Depart
ment experts.
Mr.. Hazen found the Treasury study
did not agree in its findings with
those contained in the survey made
some years ago by the Bureau of Eff
cheney, which found the Federal con-
tribution to the upkeep of the Ma
tional Capital should be $10,000,000

UOrs Neither of TaCO
Measures.
Education in Firing
Boilers ADVISED as
Quickest Remedy.

Eradication of the smoke nuisance
here depends primarily on rigid and
proper control of new furnace equip
ment, o. P. Hood, chief of the Bureau
of Mines, told the Public Health SUBJ
committee of the House District Com
mittee during hearings today on two
pending smoke control bills.
Hood said he did not favor either
of the two bills and was particularly
critical of the one sponsored by the
Commissioners, which includes q
boiler inspection section.
I'VE shouldn't mix smoke abate-
ment with boiler inspection" he de-
clared. "The boiler inspection feature
is merely red herring to dodge the
issue"
After outlining various smoke abate-
ment movements in different sec
tions, Hood declared his greatest hope
for elimination of the smoke evil is in
control of all new equipment. He
pointed out it would take at least 20
years to dispose of existing old equip
ment and said that is the reason
why you must be patient with this
problem"
Would Ban Monopoly.
Hood explained any fuel can be
burned smokelessly and said it would
be unfair to give any particular fuel
monopoly.
Intelligent and skilled operation
and management of plants, coupled
with proper combustion" he declared,
"are essential for the reduction Of
smoke"
Education Of all coal users in the
proper methods of firing boilers, tech
nical studies and more cooperative
research in the field of smoke abate-
ment, were cited by Hood as some
practical methods of remedying exist
ing conditions.

"is similar to the problem of keep

Henry I. Quinn, representing the

told the subcommittee the smoke situ-
alton in Washington could be con-
trolled effectively by amending the
existing smoke law and providing an
adequate staff Of smoke inspectors.
He said the smoke control bill
drafted by William A. Roberts, peoples
counsel, probably would be held un-
constitutional by the courts, and be-
cause OF its provision repeating exist
