New Solution Suggested
For Fiscal Equity Problem.

A SUGGESTION that the people
of the States be relieved from
paying anything for the upkeep of
the National Capital and that at
the same time the people of the
District be relieved from paying
anything toward the support of
the Federal Government is con-
tanned in a novel suggestion from
the pen of Wilbur S. Finch in the
July number of the Burroughs Bull
letin. This suggestion is made as
answer to the contention of some
men in Congress that the Federal
Government should pay nothing
for the support Of its Capital,
which they hold should be sup
ported entirely out Of local rev.
enues.
While claiming disagreement
with this theory, he suggests that
it be accepted by District residents
and that Congress pass legislation
putting into effect the following
proposals as q permanent remedy
for the present situation:
l. That no part of any funds
collected in Federal taxes from any
of the States or residents thereof
be used for maintaining the Ma
tional Capital.
2. That no part of any funds
collected in Federal taxes from the
District of Columbia or residents
thereof be used for any purpose
or undertaking outside the District,
or not directly connected with the
maintenance of the National Cap
ital
3. That all funds collected in
Federal taxes from the District of
Columbia or residents thereof be
placed in the Treasury of the
United States to the credit of the
District of Columbia and ear
marked for expenditure only for
the maintenance Of the National
Capital.
4. That such further sums as
may be necessary for the adequate
maintenance Of the National Cap
ital be raised through the present
forms of local taxation or such Of
them as may be necessary.

District Funds for District Upkeep?-The
Fireworks Situation.
Fireworks Situation.

The article concludes with the
belief that such an agreement
would bring about complete fiscal
equity between the residents Of
the States and of the District of
Columbia, neither being burdened
with the financial responsibilities
OF the other" For the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1885. District resi-
dents paid into the United States
Treasury in Federal taxes more
than $12,ooo.00 This is about 70
per cent Of the Districts 1887
budget. If the $5.000.000 carried
by the 1887 District appropriation
bill were increased to $4,000, 900,
in accordance with this plan, It
would represent a Federal share Of
more than ~ per cent-instead Of
the present actual II per cent.
Some civic leaders who have
considered this suggested solution
express q fear that 1t Is open to
the objection that there would be
serious opposition to relieving the
District from the participation in
the financial support Of the Ma
tional Government. Others are un-
willing to accept this theoretical
objection as they point to the fact
that a number Of the States re-
reiye annually in Federal aid
amounts which aggregate far more
than their annual payments of
Federal taxes. As q net result, 1t
Is claimed, that such States fall
far short of even paying the sal
aries of their Senators and Repre-.
sentatives in Congress.
Finch's solution is regarded by
many as a distinct contribution
and worthy Of careful consider

BY JESSE C. SUTER.

A UOlTOR DONOVAN, the
~ Public Utilities Commission
~ and Peoples Counsel VIII
liam A. Roberts have been
outstanding in District civic affairs
during the past week. On recon-
mendation of Maj. Donovan, the
District Commissioners have con-
tinued the 81 so real estate tax rate.
While the District will get through
the current fiscal year without any
actual deficit, the auditor sees q
probable necessity for revenue in
creases during the fiscal year 1898,
if the present rate of expenditure Is
to continue. Additional funds will
have to come from increased taxa
ton or an increase in the Federal
share. It has been announced that
the Commissioners Tax Committee
will continue its study of available
sources for additional taxation.

The Public Utilities Commission
last week held hearing on a petit
tion of some of the residents and
property owners on Monroe street
northeast for rerouting Of the bus
line running through that street.
A similar petition was considered
some months ago by the commits
sion and the change denied.

The commission will begin an
other hearing tomorrow on the
petition Of the Capital Transit Co.
for permission to purchase addi-
tional used cars from Providence,
r. l.. and for authority to increase
the number Of one-man type Of
cars.
Peoples Counsel Roberts, who
last week filed charges of bus over
crowding against the Capital Tram
sit Co., promises a finished fight to
relieve congestion on the bus lines.
Complaints of such overcrowding
have been filed by passengers on
several Of the bus lines. In each
instance, 1t is charged that the
number carried by the bus was in
excess of the official capacity load
authorized by the commissions
order.

In the Police Department 1t has
been announced that Maj. Ernest
w. Brown, superintendent of police.
has taken steps to keep children on
the streets at late hours Of the
night. While the District has no
curfew law. the major believes some
such observation and supervision
by the police will be helpful in curb
ing juvenile delinquency. A mem
Der Of the Police Department has
been detailed to act especially on
juvenile relations and maintain q
check on children seen after dark.
The Police Department has also
launched drive against defective
automobile lights. In addition,
Commissioner Hazen is reported to
have directed the police once more
to break up the watch your car"

New Police Court
Building Plan Approved.

ONE long unsolved District prob
lem approaches solution
through provision of a new build
ing to house the Police Court. The
District Commissioners last week
approved the plans for the new
building to be erected on the west
side of Judiciary Square between
E and F streets at an ultimate cost
of s1,5o0,00o. The current appro-
priation act carries an initial
amount of sl,000,00o. The specifi-
cations for this building require
that the building be erected within
IA months after the contract is let.
Bids will be invited Immediately.
This building has frequently been
referred to as the small courts
unit of the municipal center" As
such, it would have been expected
to house courts other than the
Police Court. This building will be
restricted to the Police Court ac-
tivities. The plans provide six
court rooms. though there are at
present only four police judges.
The additional court rooms are to
take care of necessary expansion
as this building is designed to meet
the needs for the next 100 years.
The present Police Court Build
ing was erected only 20 years ago
and within 10 years it was con-
sidered wholly inadequate.
1t is expected that the new Police
Court Building will be balanced
by q somewhat similar building for
the Municipal Court on the east
side of Judiciary Square between
E and F streets and that there also
will be another building erected on
the east side of the square and
south of e street, balancing the
present Court of Appeals Building.
This structure, it is planned, will
house the Juvenile Court and the
office Of the recorder Of deeds.
