Although informed that the Budget
Bureau has withheld approval of the
inebriate farm project. the Fedora
ton petitioned Congress to authorize
its Establishment.
A bill to legalize horse racing in the
District was disapproved in accord
ance with a previous stand of the Or
ganization.
Strongly approving the traffic
safety campaign recently conducted
by The Star. the Federation decided
to sponsor a concerted drive by its
member associations toward dimin-
ishing the number Of accidents.
Poor street lighting, made necessary
by inadequate appropriation, was a
contributing factor in II traffic deaths
this fiscal year-about 80 per cent of
the total fatalities. the Safety Com
mittee, headed by Thomas j. Llew-
ellyn. reported.
Lighting Appropriation Cuts.
At the committees urging. the fed
Grafton recommended that lighting ap-
preparation cuts be restored and al
loWance made for extensions in the
present lighting facilities. Reduction
in appropriations caused the District
to discontinue $50 lamps, and change
$50 twin lights to singles, with total
reduced candlepower of 4615. it was
stated. Since then 424 lights have
been restored to use
Increase in the appropriation for
traffic lights from $4,000 to 500, 900

said lights are needed at 1856 intersec-

now so controlled.
On recommendation of Fred S.

District Commissioners. the police and

Tax Funds Resolution.
After considerable debate, resolu-
ton was passed opposing any diversion
of gasoline and water tax funds.
Harry N. Stull contended the revenues
should be appropriated to meet any
needs which might exist. He called
attention to a surplus of a million
dollars, which will be impounded In
the Treasury at the end of this year,
collected through the two taxes.
Others, however, argued that the
Districts road and water needs are
sufficient to consume the surplus.
They maintained that diversion would
lead to tax increases.
Reiterating a previous stand, the
federation went on record opposing
any additional taxes for the District
and urging Congress to consider the
value Of federally owned property in
calculating its contribution to mu-
nicipal expenses. L. A. Carruthers.
chairman Of the Fiscal Relations Com
mittee, reported that the District Com
missioners have no present intention
of increasing taxes and that on the
basis Of the present budget a surplus
of three and half million will be &C
cumulated during the fiscal year.
