PRESCOTT

KENsINGTON, Nd, May 6.
Legislation enacted and considered
by the Maryland General Assembly
was discussed by State Senator
Stedman Prescott at a meeting
Of the Kensington Chamber OF
Commerce last night.
The Kensington grade crossing
elimination project should be
completed within a short time
Prescott urged. Bids for con.
struction of the approaches to the
overhead bridge were opened at
the Maryland State Roads Com
mission offices yesterday, and
work is expected to be started
about May 10.
While public sentiment in Mont
gomery county was strong for a
general reassessment of all real
property, Prescott said he and
members of the county's delega-
ton to the legislature felt that
unless the reassessment was State
wide it would place an unfair bur-
den on the county's taxpayers,
since they would be required to
pay a greater part of the State
tax due to the increased assessable
basis.

REPORTS
Cut to Balance Budget
Put at $500 Million

The Federal Government will
have to cut expenditures by 1900
million dollars to 5000 million dol
lars a year before it can balance
the budget and start reducing the
record-breaking national debt, Di-
rector John C. Gebhart, Of the Ma
tional Economy League, estimated
last night.
Gebhart, making public a survey
Of Federal finances covering what
he described as the seven lean
years" Of deficits, said that If the
contingent, guaranteed debt Of
4,71s million dollars were added
to the direct public debt Of 36,425
million dollars on June 80, the ma
tional indebtedness would be found
to have reached "the staggering
total of 41,143 million dollars" 3,
45,S54 Million Spent
The survey said that since De
cember 81, 1880, when the national
debt stood at 16,026 million dollars
Treasury receipts have totaled
% ,602 million dollars while expend-
itures amounted to 45,854 million
dollars.
During that period" Gebhart
said, I'VE have spent about two
dollar for every dollar taken in.
We have increased the public debt
until it is now two and quarter
times as large as it was in 1880;
it is 10 million dollars higher than
the peak of the war debt"
He estimated that if receipts are
as high this year as Treasury Of
ficials predict they will still fail
to cover expenditures by 1900 mil
lion dollars and that If they prove
to be higher than last years
they will still lack 5000 million
dollars of expenditures.
Facing Serious Crisis
"No one will deny that many Of
these vast expenditures were well
intended and that many, at the
time they were made, were abso-
lutely necessary" he said. But
we are now facing serious crisis
in Federal finances, and the peo-
pie must decide whether it is bet
ter to forego the apparent bene-
fits of extravagant Federal spend.

ued deficits.
These dangers are apparent to
