Bates Seeks Report
On Underpass Funds

Chairman Bates of the House Dis
trict Fiscal Subcommittee said today
he is inquiring into the cash position
of the District government to find
out where the money is coming from
to pay for the Dupont Circle under
pass, contract for which has been let.
Testimony last year before the
fiscal subcommittee Mr. Bates said,
indicated the underpass could not
be started until 1850. If the money
is available, however, the project
may go ahead so far as he is con-
cerned, Mr.. Bates said.
Capt. H. c. Whitehurst, District
highway director, said he already has
reported to Mr.. Bates, but will be
glad to present further details.
Additional revenues from several
sources, such as from registration
and inspection of vehicles, and delay
in other expenditures for highway
and bridge construction because of
slow delivery of materials have in
creased District funds, he said. The
Public Roads Administration also has
a grant of $l,9OO0OO for the Dupont
Circle job.
Contract has been let to John Nc
Shain of Philadelphia, low bidder
on the underpass. His bid of So
$4,000 will be reduced by about
100000 by substitution of less ex-
pensive material, Capt. Whitehurst
said.
Mr.. Bates announced last July he
would review the Districts financial
picture at the opening of the regular
session of Congress in January to
find out how the new tax program
was working. He said he had been
approached recently by representa-
tives of organizations in the Dupont
Circle area which have been fight
