Revenue Plan
For District Due
By End Of Week
Bates and Coin Are
Conferring Today on
Finul Details

Representative Bates, Republican,
of Massachusetts,, chairman of the
House District Fiscal Affairs Sub
committees said today he hopes to
present IN new District money.
raising program to the full House
District Committee before the end
of the week
The announcement came as he
prepared to meet with Senator
Cain, Republican, of Washington in
a tightly closed session at pm. to
iron out some of the last minute
details of the new plan.
Mr.. Bates and Senator Cain are
cochairmen of the joint subcom-
mittee which has been studying the
city's complex revenue problems for
the last four months.
Among the subjects expected to
be developed at this afternoons S
conference Is the method of pre-
senting the various revenue posi-
bilities to both houses.
Higher Water Rates Studied.
Meanwhile, it was reported yester-
day that an increase in District
water rates, coupled with charges
against the Federal and District gov
ernments for the water they now
get free, may be recommended by
the subcommittee
Mr.. Bates revealed such plan
was under consideration with the
objective of keeping the District on
a pay-as-you-go basis while financ-
ing a $45,000,000 long-range extern
sion program for the water system.
District officials early this year
submitted proposed legislation to
require the Federal and District
governments to pay for the water
they use and authorize the District
to borrow $4,000, 900 or more to
finance heavy costs of expansion of
the supply and distribution systems.
Mr.. Bates is holding series of
conferences with District officials
in the hope of avoiding heavy bor-
rowing and working out a system to
finance expansion from water rev.
enues.
He found serious objections to the
financial plan as recommended by
the Commissioners and David Auld,
Water Department head, not only
because of the proposed large loans
from the Treasury, but because Of
the interest charges involved.
Savings on Interest.
IF we can work out a pay-as-
you-go system" he said, "the Dis
trict would be saved about $l0,000.-
900 in interest charges"
Under the plan of District Of
ficials, Mr.. Bates was advised, some
of the borrowed money would have
to be used to pay interest on the
Federal loan.
Mr.. Bates indicated it might be
possible to obtain for the District
additional water revenue of about
$1,o00,000 a year from charges
against the United States for the
water it uses for the great array of
Federal buildings. The District
Government, under the proposed
plan, also would pay for the water
used for District government build
ings, but Mr.. Bates explained this
was substantially in the nature of a
bookkeeping accounting because the
District government must finance
the operation of it's water system.

On Tobacco Crop

Destruction by plant lice Of To-
cal tobacco plants became a
greater threat this week as re
ports continued to come to the
attention of the Loris Farm
Bureau.
Brooks Wilmington, secretary
of the Farm Bureau, said the
lice had attacked the tobacco OF

Henry NJ. Hardee, of the Oak

No definite assistance has been

said. He expressed his opinion for
the delay by explaining that the
lice are of a species never found
in Horny county before and as
sured that action to destroy the
bugs would be taken as soon a.
advice was received.
Attempts by farmers to destroy
the lice with the usual poisons
have failed, signifying the need
of a new counteractant. 1t would
be useless to apply nicotine, Whit
tington said, since the lice are
now feeding on tobacco which
contains nicotine.
An expert in combating plant
lice is expected to arrive in Loris
soon to lead the fight against the
pestilence.
Growers whose plants have been
attacked said their tobacco has
assumed a dark color as if it has
already been cured. The lice will
not completely ruin tobacco, Whit
tington said, but will drain out
most of the sap and lower the
quality which will effect the sell
ing price.
Everything will be done to rid
the community of the lice as soon
as proper means are established.
