CALLS FOR 6O-:4O
D. c. FISCAL RATIO
Columbia Heights Citizens
Association Notes U. S.
DISREGARD of Law.

A return to the 60-40 fiscal ratio
between the Federal and District Gov
ernments was asked in a resolution
adopted by the Columbia Heights
Citizens Association last night after
several members cited the lack of
voice in public affairs on the part
of local residents
the notion declared that As per cent
of the District residents are carrying
the burden of local government, add
ing that 'the Federal Government
is riding on free pass"
If Congress expects the citizens
to obey its laws then it should live
up to them itself and abide by the
60-4O ratio it set long time ago."
Mr.. Brown said.
Puts Burden on Citizens.
Col. Luther R. Maddox, chairman
of the associations Legislation Com
mittee. said that IF the Federal Gov
ernment paid taxes on the same basis
as every one else then we would have
no deficit.
On the 60-40 basis of meeting ex-
penses the sum to be paid by the Fed
eral Government for the fiscal year
1889 would amount to approximately
S17.000,000, it was estimated by Alton
B. Carly in a special report on taxa
ton.
Citing the reported increase in
crime in Washington in general and
the Columbia Heights section in par
ticular, Mrs. Marie Flynn Maddox
asked for an investigation of the
situation. Acting President John M.
Boteler appointed her chairman of
a special committee to study the
matter.
The resignation . of William c.
Strauss as treasurer of the group was
accepted after the association voted
appreciation of his services. Mr.. Bote-
Ter was appointed to temporarily fill
the vacancy.
