LUMP SUM FOUND

Donovan Estimates Govern.
ment Cost D. c. $12,152,-
sos, Twice Share u. S. Paid.

The District incurred a cost of $l2,-
l52,505 during the past fiscal year for
services or benefits it rendered to the
United States, whereas the Federal
payment toward the bill was less than
half that sum. Maj. Daniel ]. Donovan
yesterday advised the Commissioners.
Calculations Of the excess burden
borne by the District because Of the
Federal character attaching to the
city are to be used as one argument
for fiscal equity in further appearances
of District officials before the Presi-
dental Committee which Is seeking to
determine the proper size Of the Fed
eral share.
The finding is contained In a chart
prepared by Maj. Donovan from finan-
cial studies made by department
executives to illustrate the division Of
costs Of the many departments as be-
tween purely municipal functions and
benefits and those for the Federal
Government.
Based on 80 Operations.
The separation Of the costs. partly
on the basis of actual figures and
partly on estimates, is outlined for 80
municipal operations and for each Of
the IL years from the fiscal years
1925 to 1886. inclusive.
The studies were started some weeks
ago at the suggestion Of J. L. Jacobs
Of Chicago, director Of the committee.
At the recent public hearings before
the committee, its members indicated
this attempt to measure cost of Dis
trict service to the Federal Government
was but one avenue Of investigation in
its search for basis of measuring an
equitable Federal obligation to the
Capital.
Under arrangements announced by
members of the committee, District
government department heads have
been called to appear before the body
at its next formal session here next
Saturday. The District Commission
ers and Maj. Donovan are to 60 be-
fore the fiscal group November 81 to
present their views.
Tax Rate Used in Calculation.
Commissioner Hazen has long
championed q plan to calculate the
Federal payment by applying the Dis
trict realty tax rate to the value of
Federal properties here which are ex-
empted from taxation. He figured
yesterday that II the rate of $3.50 per
500 Of value were applied to the total
Of Federal and private property ex-
emptions the resulting figure would
amount to approximately $l2. 2.000, 900,
or roughly the same figure found. by
Maj. Donovan to be the cost to the
District Of services and benefits rem
dered to the United States by an In.
dependent method.
Commissioner Ha5en took for his
calculations the recent estimates Of

placed the value Of the exempt Fed
