Horan Moves 10 Stop
Free D. T.. Schooling
For Non-Residenfs

A move to put an end to free
tuition in Washington's public
schools for nonresident pupils was
started today by Representative
Horan, Republican, of Washington.
Chairman of the House subcom-
mittee writing the 1948 District sup
ply bill, Mr.. Horan today prepared
the draft of necessary legislation tc
require nonresident pupils to pay
tuition. Rates would be fixed by
the Board of Education at level
TO cover actual costs.
District officials have estimated
the cost of educating resident
pupils at about 100000 a year. Mr.
Horan said he was prepared te
sponsor the bill but was asking that
it be introduced by Representative
Beall, Republican, of Maryland, a
member of the House District Com
mittee.
Other Move Discussed.
Two other departures were dis.
cussed by Mr.. Horan and Repre-
sentative Stefan, Republican, Of
Nebraska, dean of the District Ap-
propriations Subcommittee. They
are preparing to make fight fol

ing laboratory near First and Bry'
ant streets NV, ordered closed last
year by Congress at the insistence
of Representative Cannon, Demo
crat, of Missouri, former chairman
of the House Appropriations Com
mittee.
Mr.. Horan and Mr.. Stefan alse
are giving serious study to posi-
bihties of establishing an asphalt
plant for the District Highway De.
partment in a drive to cut high
prices for street paving and repair
Such a plant, it was unofficially
estimated, would cost something
more than 100000, exclusive of site
1t would be used to convert raw
materials for use in street paving
Mr.. Koran said preliminary esti,
mates by staff investigators indi.
cate there is not sufficient competi
ton here in the street-paving bust
ness and that costs of street worl
have skyrocketed and are out O.
line with other p0StS
Higher Costs Cited.
One estimate, Mr.. Horan said
was the street repair costs hav'
increased in recent times by IS tt
10 per cent.
The highway testing laboratory
built more than IA years ago undeI
an appropriation of Congress, ha,
been kept shut down for most O
that time by riders inserted in tn,
Districty Supply Bills at the demand
of Mr.. Cannon. He has insisted
that the testing of materials be don,
at the Bureau Of Standards. II
the beginning it had been suggested
this work be done free for the Dis
trict, but charges regularly wer'
made.
Mr.. Horan said it was estimated
the District is "out of pocket" by
an estimated s150,000 by reason O.
the present system, this in addition
to the s125,o0 the District spent ts
set up the laboratory.
Mr.. Koran said it was his con.
viction such work should be per.
formed by the District itself anc
not at the Bureau of Standards
The latter, he said, should perform
functions of fixing standards rather
than have to carry on routine ane
continuing testing for the city'i
regular operations.
