GREATER FEDERAL
PAYMENT |SASKED
Burroughs Citizens Seek
Aid of Committee
of 100.

An improvement in fiscal relations
between the United States and the
District in which the Federal Govern
ment would hereafter pay a more
equitable share Of District expenses
was asked by the Burroughs Citizens
Association meeting last night In the
John Burroughs School.
The action was incorporated in
resolution opposing the construction
of an abattoir on Benning road north
east and praising the Committee of
One Hundred of the American Plan
ming and Civic Association in its ef-
forts to prevent the erection of the
slaughter house.
Cite Revenue Loss.
The resolution declared the citizens
could not overlook the fact that the
prevention of the establishment of in
dustries in the District deprives
the local government Of lucrative
source of revenue in the form Of ad-
ditional taxes so sorely needed be-
cause of the Federal Governments
failure to bear its full share in the
cost of the local government" The
Committee of One Hundred was called
upon to aid in the fight to seek in
creased appropriations from Congress
for the annual District budgets.
The establishment of a small claims
court proposed by Municipal Court
Judge Nathan Cayton was indorsed
by members. They expressed the opin-
ion that the maximum amount of the
claims handled by the proposed court
should be increased from $50 to $l00.
School Chosen As Center.
DR.. A. r. Heath. chairman, Com
munity Center Committee. reported
success in obtaining use Of the Bur-
roughs School for community center
activities. A program was announced
for December II to open the center.
Complaints that civic groups are not
represented thoroughly at the fedora
tion under its present set-up resulted
in the adoption OF q resolution urging
the federation to appoint special
committee to study this problem and
to plan for a more definite program in
advance of each meeting.
A measure approving repeal Of the
sred rider" was tabled after q discus
sion.
Amendments to the constitution
adopted provided for change In
meeting night to the fourth Monday
Of each month at the Burroughs
School and for the election OF a sec
ond vice president. the election OF
which will take place at the next
meeting.
