More Representation

Gated increased membership in the

He also suggested that urban
counties have more members in the

Nobody expects Baltimore or
even the larger counties to be given
representation in the General As

There are many reasons why no
such situation would be beneficial
or practical. But there is every
reason why an attempt should be
made to adopt measure under
which large urban areas would be
given somewhat increased par
ticipation in the management and
handling of State problems.
Baltimore Has Six Senators.
There are at present % men,
bers of the Maryland State Senate,
of which Baltimore City has only
six. 1t must be admitted by every
fair minded person that Baltimore,
with approximately half the popu-

more voice in State affairs than
is possible with but six of %

House Group Changes
u. ). Fund Formula in
Hospital Aid Bill

The Hill-Burton bill to provide
a five-year program of Federal aid
for construction of hospitals and
public health centers throughout the
country, including the District, was
approved yesterday by the House
Commerce Committee.
Under an amendment by the
House committee to the Senate
passed bill. however, it would be
necessary for the District to raise
a larger fund to obtain the Federal
allotment. than is authorized under
the Senate version.
The measure provides that States
with lower average incomes per
capita receive more Federal aid
than those with higher average in
comes
The Senate formula, based o.
both per capita income and popu-
lation, was retained by the House
committee for calculating the
amount of Federal allotments
w kiIt SthlSS-
House Strikes Out Formula.
But the House struck out this
same formula as applied by the
Senate to the amount to be raised
by the States and the District in
order to get the Federal aid. In the
case of the District for instance
the House amendment provides that
there must be raised here, either by
taxes or by nonproflt hospitals, or
both. twice as much as the Federal
allotment.
Under the Senate bill, calculated
on 1924 average annual per cap
ita income of the District, this city
would receive s274,000 during the
first of the five years and would
have to raise $477,000.
Under the House amendment
however. this city would receive the
same allotment, but would have tc
raise twice as much, or S548,000
This would make a total of 1922
900 available for such construction
here. one-third from the Federal
grant and two-thirds from local
fund
State Allotments in Area.
MARYLAND, under the bill would
get an allotment during the first
year of $780, 900 and Virginia ST.
358 900. but each would be required
to raise twice their Federal aic
allotment to be eligible for grants
Future allotments would have tc
be calculated on the basis of the
latest figures available on per
capita income and population. Thus
future allotments may vary.
The House Committee reduced
from s5,OOO000 in the Senate bill
to s3000,000 in its own measure the
amount authorized to be spent by
the States for surveys and plan
ming of future construction.
The committee approved the Sen
ate provision authorizing s75 900 ,OOC
year for five years, to be divided
among the States and the District
for Construction.
