Most of the wives were former

District Budget Faces
Reduction Due 10 Low
Revenue, Coffee Says

The Districts record budget re-
quests are destined for extensive
reduction in view of the revenue
situation, Chairman Coffee of the
House subcommittee in charge of
the 1947 municipal supply bill in
dicated yesterday.
A similar position was taken by
Representative Stefan, Republican,
of Nebraska, ranking minority mem
Der of the appropriations subcom-
mlttee, who restated his belief the
District should keep available a
cushion" of from 100000 to
So ,000,0 900 to meet unexpected de-
mands that may arise later in the
year..
AS forwarded to Congress in mid
january by the President, the Dis
trict budget for the year beginning
July amounted to $81, 10000 a
new high by a very considerable
amount. 1t was calculated this
would be balanced by use of most
of the $10.000000 investment fund
built up during war years.
Requests nave Increased.
But the requests since have in
creased, by well over 100000 in
cluding calls for reviving 125 po-
sitions in the Police Department
and so in the Fire Department.
Chairman Coffee said, "it is per-
fectly obvious that many of the re-
quested appropriations will have to
be trimmed down."
He added it was perfectly nat
ural' that each department and
agency should want appropriation
to expand services that were cur
tailed by war necessities, and would
seek funds for new projects and
equipment that had to be denied
because of the war.
Lack of Funds Cited.
Il am not condemning the mu-
nicipal officials" Mr.. Coffee said,
"but we get back to that old ques-
ton of where is the money to come
from. The point is that in many
cases, for lack of funds, we will SIM
ply not be able to take care of all
these things at one time. Some
of the expansions of service and
renewal of projects will have to be
spread over period of years.
While commenting on the re-
quested extra police and fireman,
Mr.. Coffee said he and other men,
bers of the subcommittee had not
arrived at a decision. There was
an indication, however, a part in
stead of all the requested extra
force might be granted.
Mr. Coffee directed even more
specific attention to the more than
300 extra employees sought for Gal
linger Hospital. If all were grant,
ed, he commented, the result would
be an average of IA employees per
patient there.
Calls for Data on Hospital.
. AS a check against this, he has
directed Health Department Off
cials to supply tables showing how
this compares with costs per pa
tient employees in hospitals in nu-
merous other of the larger cities of
the country.
Not only are revenues strained
to the limit, he continued, but costs
OF real estate, materials and labor
now are at new peak levels.
Well along in it's review of the
budget, the subcommittee tomorrow
will take up the $4,000, 900 total
sought for welfare agencies and
services. Some members hope the
executive sessions can be concluded
IN about a week and that the bill
may be ready for a report to the
House within opotbor r,n,tx

Tax Program 10 Meet
D. T.. Postwar Costs
Nears Primary Stage
By John w. Thompson, Jr.

A specific program of increased
or new taxes for the District to meei
the heavy postwar operating ex-
penses may take preliminary shape
this week.
Corporation Counsel Vernon E
West said he has called a meeting
of his Special Tax Committee
Thursday at 2 pm. to begin work on
the recommendations. The COM
mittee consists of seven District Of
ficials and 10 citizens.
The officials group has already
presented the city heads a schedule
of estimates which the various
existing taxes could produce if in
creases were made. together with
estimates Of possible yields of new
taxes These figures were said to
have been provided without recon-
mendation. 1t will be the function
OF the Joint Committee to recon-
mend to the Commissioners a posi-
tive program of changes.
Meanwhile, it is understood the
House Appropriations Committee
District Subcommittee, now con-
Quoting hearings on the 1947 Dis
trict budget, has asked for the
schedule worked out by Mr.. Vests
official group before the citizen rep
resentatives were added.
While the big drive of the Com
missioners this year is to be pointed
at an increase in the $4,000, 900 an
!nual Federal share in District ex-
penses, officials are said to believe
that even a doubling of the amount
would not be sufficient to meet city
expenses in the next few years.
The 1947 estimates of SOL sos 900
will exhaust the city revenues in
cluding a S10,000,00O surplus ac-
cumulated during the war years.
And during the war years operat-
ing costs alone - salaries and
maintenance-have gone up S12.-
100000. Still further salary in
creases are impending that have
not been considered in the budget.
The current budget hearings have
already produced discussion of new
or increased taxation, including a
sales tax: boosting the transfer
fees for liquor licenses, and amuse-
ment license fees. Chairman Cof-
fee OF the House subcommittee last
week told the Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations that new taxes
would have to be expected to meet
the big projected outlays.
District officials have taken the
position that the word authorized"
used in the Revenue Act of 1899
in connection with the Federal
share does not mean Congress can
not increase the 100000. To the
contrary, they feel it places
st, 100000 minimum, but that the
matter of increase is wide open.
Pending proposals to increase the
Federal payment include that of
Representative Stefan, Republican
Of Nebraska, ranking minority mem
Der of the Appropriations SUBJ
committee. to double the $4,000 900
and the plan of Senator OMahoney
Democrat of Wyoming, for a for
mula based on the ratio of FEEDER
land in the District
to the entire District area. The
0Mahoney formula. would boost
he Federal payment to about $11,-
10000.
Mr. West said the committee
would not be made public
since they are acting at request
If the Commissioners.
