LUMP P7SUM BILL
DECLARED UNJUST
RandIe Highlands Citizens
Also Oppose Weight Tax
for Autos.

Striving to secure larger F'ederal
share toward operating expenses Of
the District, the Randle Highlands
Citizens Association last night op-
posed the bill fixing the Federal pay
ment to District expenses, now pend
ing before the House District Com
uittee.
H. A. Elmore, chairman Laws and
Legislative Committee, criticized the
bill AS an effort to reduce the Federal
Governments equitable share of Dis
trict expenses. Under the present law
the Federal Government is called upon
to pay on a 40 to the Districts go per
cent ratio Of operating expenses.
While this ratio has never been put
into actual practice. he said, he is op-
posed to any legislation which would
give Congress an opportunity to ap-
propriate less than 40 per cent by
actual law The 40 per cent is just
and equitable, he declared. and as
long as the present law remains in
force District residents have weapon
to use in their fight for larger appro-
prfations.
Weight Tax Opposed.
The bill to provide for motor We
hicle weight tax. now in the House
District Committee, was unanimously
opposed after Elmore's report on the
measure.
Declared Adelbert w. Lee Of this
proposal: "It is getting so that more
and more taxes are being levied. This
situation will continue until the time
comes when the Government will re-
duce its share to the District even
more than it has today"
That the District is unable to
spend its own revenues until appropri-
ated by Congress was cited by Lee as
vigorously oppose proposed tax meas
ures.
An investigation by the District
Commissioners and Congress seeking
to change existing tax regulations was
asked by c. A. Barker in a resolution
adopted by the group.
= Congress was requested to consider
the advisability of extending the re-
defnption period on tax-delinquent
property from two to five years.
The Board of Education was petit
toned in a resolution offered by Lee
to gram hearing to representatives
OF the association, the Orr School and
Randle High School Parent Teacher
Associations with a view of securing
no nrr- CnhAol
The resolution was adopted
Other legislation acted upon in
cluded approval of bill. now on the
House calendar, to amend the teachers
salary act; the Guyer bill to re-estab-
lish prohibition in the District was
tabled; the bill, now in the House
District Committee, to provide for the
choice Of District delegate to Con-
gress was held over for further in
formation.
Lee reported that, following appear
anees before the Public Utilities Com
mission seeking change in transfer
point between street cars and busses
at Eighth street and Pennsylvania
avenue southeast, the commission has
ordered this point be placed between
Seventh and Eighth streets southeast
on the Avenue. A resolution of ap-
probation was adopted.
Other action included a request for
the opening of r street southeast from
the new Anacostia school to Thirtieth
street; a resolution thanking Com
missioner Hazen for three additional
motor cycle police, and a request that
the proposed new General Accounting :
Omces be located east of the Capitol.

Murray w. Latimer, chairman Of

have refused to furnish information
about employees eligible for benefits

they believe the question of constitu-
