Pepeo Is Swamped
With Refunds for
Children S Hospital

A last-minute flood of coupons
authorizing the Potomac Electric
Power Co. to pay power charge re-
funds to Children's Hospital poured
in this morning for time swamping
the mailroom of the power company.
BY 10 o'clock mail opened at that
time had produced approximately
1000 coupons, and hundreds of let
ters remained to be opened.
Yesterday was the final day of the
drive in which many electric light
consumers turned over to the hos
pital the rebate they received for
a period when the light rate was
in litigation.
1t is expected that other hundreds
of coupons will trickle in during the
next few days, and If possible these
will be credited to the hospital. Be-
cause of the start of bookkeeping
work in the billing cycle of the power
company shortly after the end OF
this week, many late coupons may
be lost to the hospital. .--'.
The task of processing the cou-
pons through to the billing depart
ment requires several days and for
that reason the delayed coupons
may arrive too late. ~ z p.
In this mornings mail there were
many coupons from commercial es-
Establishments. which are entitled to
higher refunds than are domestic
consumers. and these are expected
to go far toward offsetting refunds
which may fall below the $3.50
maximum.
The company reported that at 10
am. nearly $4,000 had been con-
tributed to the hospital building
campaign by approximately 1000

House Subcommittee
Source Holds Hope
For More Schools
Bv Don S. Wcrrsn

Members OF the District Subcom-
mittee Of the House Appropriations
Committee today settled down tol
the detailed work Of fitting budget
demands to expected revenues in
the new fiscal year-shoottng at a
top figure OF around 500, ,00o, 900.
One subcommittee source said it,
now appeared possible to get enough
school construction under way In
the fiscal year beginning Tuesday
to bring about the elimination of
all present part-time class instruc-
ton by next summer.
Under present tentative plans, 1t
was said, this would mean the once
suggested new 1000, 900 school con-
struction program would be spread
over two years, but probably with
enough funds and authorizations for
the coming II months to relieve
20 schools now on double duty.
Would "Scrape Bottom"
subcommittee aides said this
would require the District to scrape
the bottom of the barrel" finan-
cially. and use up the last segment
of the $4,000, 900 capital invest
ment fund built up during the war
years.
Already 1t had been contemplated
to sell $1,945,460 of the remaining
invested securities to swell the 1913
funds. The program now suggested
would call for cashing the remain
ing securities of $685.
Sizeable changes may be neces-
sary in the original sos, ,000, 900
budget as submitted by the Com
missioners to bring out such bill,
but there were renewed assurances
the work would be done at high
speed.
Action Possible Wednesday.
SpokeSmen for the subcommittee,
headed by Representative Horan,
Republican, of Washington said it
now seemed possible the rewritten
bill would be ready for action by
the full House Appropriations Com
mittee next Wednesday.
Sharp revisions will have to be
made If the House should refuse
to accept the recommendations OF
the House and Senate conferees on
the 13,500,000 District revenue bill.
Involved is the O'Hara amendment,
adopted earlier by the House, but
rejected by the Senate, to exempt
from the District income tax all
Federal workers who sign state
ments they are domiciled In one of
the States. To keep this amend
rnent in the final draft OF the rev.
enue bill would cut next years mu-
nicipal revenues by at least $780,
900, officials say. -
