Reorganization of d. C. Government
To Be Live Subject This Winter.
Civic Groups Invited
To Assist on Tax Survey.

'HE CltlZen'S Committee OF 21
on reorganization Of the District
government under the Craftsmanship
OF E. Barrett Prettyman is expected
to formulate its report for submis-
sion to the District Commissioners
in the near future. While there have
been no meetings Of the full COM
mittee since early in the Summer,
the several subcommittee have
been carrying on their studies of
the various departments. Just what
will be the local civic reaction to
this committees report is prob
lematical. a@
Chairman King of the Senate
District Committee has announced
his intention of pushing a meas
ure for enlarging the powers of
the Commissioners. He is credited
with advocating giving the Com
missioners control over the schools
and the welfare agencies and ma
terially reducing the power now
exercised by the citizen boards hav-
ing charge OF these municipal ac-
tivities. AS there has been decid-
ed citizen opposition to these
changes In the past, it is anticipat-
ed that it will be renewed.
Representative Kennedy Of Mary
land, ranking majority member of
the House District Committee. is
known to have plan for a re-
organization of the local govern
ment. Details of this program have
not as yet been disclosed.
Announcement was made last
week by Chairman Palmisano of
the House District Committee that
he had directed Corporation Coun-
sci Elwood H. Seal to prepare
legislation designed to divorce the
Budget Bureau and Congress from
control over the Districts annual
budget. 1t is reported to be Palmi-
sano's intention to introduce and
sponsor such a bin at the next
session of Congress.
He believes the District Commits
sioners are far better qualified than
either the Budget Bureau or men,
bers OF Congress to determine the
needs Of the District. He believes
the only connection that Congress
should have with the District Gov
ernment is to appropriate a Fed
eral payment each year and to
enact any tax legislation the Com
missioners might find necessary to
balance the budget.

The membership of the Junior

end before the 1888 convention, schsd-
uled for Oakland, Calf, in June.

appears to be positive opposition
both In Congress and among our
citizens against borrowing any
money for the purchase of school
sites and the erection OF school
buildings. Some of our earnest civic
workers are striving to find the
answer to these difficult questions.
Civic Groups Invited
To Assist on Tax Survey.
A MOTHER Advisory Committee
is to be formed by the District
Commissioners. The Board of
Trade, Federation of Citizens As
sociations, Real Estate Board, Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation. the Washington Taxpayers
Protective Association, Federation
of Women's Clubs and the Vote
less District of Columbia League Of
Women Voters have been invited
by the Commissioners to designate
by Wednesday next one member
each to serve in connection with
the tax survey.
This new body will work with the
committee of District officials con-
sisting of Auditor Donovan. Cor
poration Counsel Seal, director
of Highways Whitehurst, Public
Utility Commissioner Keech, AS
SCISSOR Allen and Tax Collector
Towers. The Advisory Committee
will meet at the call of the COM
missioners.
The study of the Districts tax
structure will be the basis of rec
concentrations required to be sub
mitted to Congress by the Com
missioners by January Is, 1888. 1t
is expected that opportunity will be
afforded through the medium of
these recommendations for gen.
eral revision of the local tax sys-
tenn, particularly as to the recent
hurriedly drafted tax legislation.
The civic bodies have heretofore
held back in making tax recon-
medations. Few have felt like
sticking neck out as target for
either Congress or his fellow citi-
zens. Many now regard the situ-
alton as being such that the citi-
zens must formulate a tax pro-
gram and fight for 1t. OF course,
the advocating of any new tax as
a substitute for an old tax is recog-
nized as a perilous undertaking.
Substitutes in District taxation
have never been popular with Con-
gress where the preference always
is for additional taxes and more Of
them.

showed the ice to be an average of
18 inches thick.

Ice upstream from the dam site
must pass through four channels, each
