CHEVY CHASE BODY
0UTL|NESPROGRAM|
Annual Report Cites Need of
Fiscal Equity and Repeal
of Red Rider.

A more equitable Federal contribu-
tion to the District budget, repeal Of
the red rider, increase in traffic safety
and other important items are listed
on a program of civic activity for the
Chevy Chase Citizens Association by
Edwin S. Hege, president, in his an
nual report to members,
In his report Hege, who is ending
his second term as head of the group,
briefly reviews the measures which
have been acted upon by the aSsocia-
ton, and outlines the main issues
which will claim It's attention during
the year.
Fiscal relations between the Federal
and District Government remain in a
confused state. he said. I'VE have
steadfastly declined to favor or invite
increased taxes or new forms of taxa
ton unless a need therefor shall have
been made manifest after the Federal
share in municipal expenses shall have
been raised to an equitable level. The
lapse of time has confirmed that posi-
ton.
Traffic Conditions Cited.
Traffic safety is subject for
thoughtful and sustained interest, the
report states, and calls attention to
numerous instances of vehicles racing
through alleys and over sidewalks
when emerging from alleys.
THE types of reckless driving that
inevitably lead to killing or manning
of persons or the destruction of prop
erty should be met with permit re-
vocations or Jail sentences or both"
It was noted that police enforcement
had improved.
Sunday sale of alcoholic beverages
is listed as another traffic hazard
which the association unquestionably
will oppose when that subject is con-
sidered by Congress.
Need Of Bus Improvements.
The bus transportation question has
received much attention from the as
sociation, and it will be an important
topic this year. Improvements have
been made, but additional betterments
are needed" the report states. Fig
ures compiled by the regulatory body
bear out company claim that the
Connecticut avenue bus line Is not
earning depreciation charges. That
is an unhealthy fiscal situation for
which a remedy should be found. A
decrease in service would be no remedy
but it would incite loud and prolonged
protests.
Other public utilities" the report
continues, seemingly are allowed over
generous net earnings on rate bases
in a money market period notable for
low interest rates available to individ-
uals desiring to invest surplus funds"
Hege calls the attention of members
to the place Woodrow Wilson High
School is gaining in scholastic, cadet
and athletic activities, even though it
still is a comparatively new school.
Efforts are being made to get stadium
at Wilson and playground for the
Lafayette School, which association
members hope will bear fruit in the
near future.

TIME volume OF District civic
news and discussion during
the past week should surely
u satisfy the most ardent of
civic workers. In fact. some have
complained that there had been so
much that they were confused and
feared that some escaped their
notice.
The District budget. the fiscal
relations report with its surprising
findings and the prospect of having
to raise another 10000, 900 in new
taxes are all heavy problems for
digestion at one and the same time.

though unsatisfactory, right Of Pc
tition.
The Inauguration Of the Presi-
dent on wednesday, with the an
ticipated onrush Of out-of-town
visitors and many of the civic
leaders occupied in playing host
to the people from out in the United
States, will probably give breath
ing spell from the avalanche of
civic problems and news.
The District Commissioners and
the civic bodies are in a quandary
as to how to proceed in the matter
of appropriations and taxation
until there is some indication as to
what course will be followed by
Congress as to the fiscal policy.
AS the matter stands now every one
is ''in the air" as to many of the
most urgent needs. The school
building program and other capital
expenditures appear to be in
rather hopeless position. 1t is re-
ported that the Commissioners pro-
pose to hold series of conferences
with civic leaders in search Of ad-
vice as to the best course to proceed
In the difficult financial situation.
