Record Budget
OF $68,585,607
Asked for D. {.
Report Urges City
Be Assessed Less on
Park and Zoo Costs
BY DON S. WARREN.

A record-breaking 1945 Dis
trict budget of $68,585,607 that
would liquidate all municipal in
debtedness and set up a $5,000,-
900 investment fund for postwar
public works, without any in
crease in taxes, was laid before
the House today by the Ap-
propriations Committee. It is
scheduled for House action TO-
morrow.
Highlighting the report of the
District Appropriations Subcom-
mittee, head by Representative Cof-
fee, Democrat, of Washington, were
recommendations that the Commits
sioners seek legislation or rules
which would:
/. Relieve District taxpayers of
the present entire cost of main
tenance and development of the
Zoo where more than half of its
visitors are non-residents;
Public Parks Control.
2. Provide to some degree more
definite line of demarcation of au-
thority between the Commissioners
and the Interior Department as to
control over the public parks sys-
tenn in the District, on the grounds
that the present dual control docs
not serve the best interests" of the
taxpayers, and
3. Afford to the Commissioners
tighter control over the financial
execution" of the budget for the &c
apparently independent" depart
ments, commissions and boards in
the municipal establishment that
employ some 1000 persons or al
most so per cent of the District
personnel.
Also, on the general suggestion
of centralizing municipal control
under the Commissioners, the re-
port protests that salaries of en-
ployes of the Washington Aqueduct
(water supply system, under con-
troll of Army Engineer officers) were
upgraded $38,303 apparently with
out consultation" with municipal
financial officials and without resort
to regular channels"
While approving funds for the in
creased salaries, the Coffee Com
mittee added: 80 long as operating
and capital outlay costs of the
aqueduct are borne by the District,
all major administrative changes
involving appropriations should be
cleared with the Commissioners be-
fore they are consummated.
Urge Water System Control.
Going further, Chairman Coffee
and Representative Stefan, the
ranking minority member of the
funds group, urged during the hear
ings that the District should take
over ownership and control of the
entire water system, including the
supply division.
Recommending an appropriation
of $1,079,700 for the National Capt.
tai Parks, an increase of $24,44C
over current appropriations and a
Evening star., 1944-05-23

decrease of $8,177 from the budget
estimates, the Coffee subcommittee
brought out that go per cent of the
costs are carried by District tax
payers and added:
1T is the judgment of the COM
mlttee that this dual authority over
public park system does not serve
the best interests of the taxpayers
and accordingly suggests to the
District Commissioners that legis-
lation, which would in some degree
provide for more definite line of
demarcation in authority, be sought
through the proper legislative chan
nels."
AS to the Zoo. the committee de-
clared: Testimony developed before
the committee indicates that this
park is more of national than a
municipal undertaking, and the
committee is of the belief that the
entire financial responsibility for
this maintenance and improvement
should not be placed on the tax
payers of the District. According
~, II Is suggested that the Commits
sloners review the entire situation
surrounding the operation of the
National Geological Park and at
tempt whatever action they deem
appropriate to allocate the cost of
operation on both a municipal and
national basis"
Exceeds Budget Estimates.
Rejecting the quirks of wartime
municipal finance, labor shortages
and the continued blockade of most
all construction not deemed vital to
the war effort, the supply bill calls
tor total outlay that exceeds the
Budget Bureau estimates by more
than $1,000,000 and is more than
SIC, 0,4o0,000 above appropriations for
the current fiscal year.
On the surface, these intriguing
increases establish what old timers
say are brand-new records, yet
actually the House Committee
slashed roughly 100000 from items
in the budget requests. An increase
