Continued From First Page J

Street and Bridge Divisions in re-
pairs, minor construction and gen.
eral operating-is $1,974000 in the
1850 estimate. 1t represents a S70,-
900 increase over this years operat-
ing expense fund.
Mr.. Robertson said the increase
is needed to pay within grade SAL
ary promotions, hire % new en-
ployes, furnish overtime and holiday
pay to department employees and
other miscellaneous expenses. The
% new employees requested include
10 drawbridge operators and riirie
guards needed for the new East
Highway and South Capitol street
bridges, now under construction.
A $l50,O00 municipal asphalt plant
authorized by Congress three years
ago but never before left in budget
by the Commissioners is re-
quested in the highway estimates
for 1850. The money would pay for
the site and construction, including
seawalls, a dock and railroad sid
ing, so that the District could manu-
facture its own street surfacing ma
terials.
Authorized Projects.
The following items are sought in
the budget for projects already au-
thorized and under way:
$325,000 for paving new streets;
$4,000 for grading new streets;
100000 for resurfacing existing
streets; 100000 for completion of
the $5,400,0O0 South Capitol street
bridge connecting the downtown
section with the southeast and
southwest portions of trans-Anacos-
tia Washington, and 100000 for
widening the roadway on either side
of the Benning road streetcar tracks.
The Benning road project would
extend from Kenilworth avenue
NE. to Fifteenth street and the two
26-foot roadWays would be widened
to 80 feet. 1t is designed to handle
the traffic load anticipated when
the Capital Transit Co. substitutes
buses for street cars on the north
east artery next March.
The funds requested for further
ing work on the Dupont Circle
underpass, the WhitehurSt Freeway
and the East Highway Bridge to
Virginia via Fourteenth street NV.
appear in a S2,6O000O estimate re-
quested by Mr.. Robertson as a
matching fund for Federal con-
tributions.
Matching Fund Request.
A three-year program for i'm
proving roads and bridges through
out the Nation was established in
the Federal Aid Highway Act of
1914 and Federal funds were made
Evening star., 1948-09-19

available to States and cities on a
matching basis.
OF the $2,6OO,OOO matching fund
requested, 100000 is sought for paw
ing the approaches to the South
Capitol Bridge under another Fed
eral aid project authorized this
year.
The estimate asks $4,000 exclu-
sively for removal of snow and ice
from the city's streets and sidewalks
in the winter of 1949-50.
This amount, which is the same
appropriated for the current fiscal
year, is part of the $l,974,00O obllga-
ton fund which also includes $493.-
283 for administration and $1,4lO,7l7
for maintenance of streets ano
bridges.
Street Maintenance.
The s1.41O,717 ALLEGATION is divided
into two parts: 81 1,340,717 for regular
maintenance and repair OF streets
and $4,000 for repairs and mainte-
nance of bridges.
The s1.340,717 ALLEGATION OF streets
is S2O.782 more than the 1873, 1888
allotted for that purpose in the 1915
budget. The $4,000 for bridge main
tenance is identical with the amount
allotted this year.
The s1.974,000 obligation fund for
operating expenses in the highway
department in fiscal 1850 is $70,O0O
more than the 1949 allotment OF ST.
9O4 900. Personal service wages un-
der the operating expense heading
were set at s493,2 ,283 in the new estl-
mate, a $52,169 increase over the
1949 allotment of S551,114. In 1886
the records revealed, operating eX-
pense wages were only $l78,280.
Personal Service Wages.
Under maintenance personal serV-
lice wages, Mr.. Robertson requested
s653.683. an increase of $20,682 over
I1949s $633,OOl. Mr.. Robertson also
asked $4,000 for replacement OF
equipment, the same amount OBJ
tanned for fiscal 1949. The equip
ment money is to be used to replace
trucks, trailers, rollers and other
construction devices that have worn
out or become obsolete.
Approximately $7,000,000 of the
s9,456, BIT requested by the Highway
Department would be applied to
purely street, highway and bridge
projects and to the general expenses
of the department. The remainder
goes to three allied departments
whose budgets will be released soon
Approximately 100000 of the
highway fund goes for salaries and
expenses of the Department of We
hicles and Traffic and about $780,
900 for operation of the Trees and
Parking Division. In addition, the
highway fund must furnish about
one million dollars a year for the
salaries of the Is per cent OF the
Metropolitan Police Department
that are assigned to traffic duties.
elf-Sustaining Fund.
The highway fund is derived
from money collected through
registration and permit fees, gaso-
line and automobile taxes. 1t is
self sustaining and the fund is
estimated in advance from year to
year. For fiscal 1949, the fund will
amount to about se,267 200.
The self-supporting highway and
water funds are separate, under the
District budgetary setup, from the
general fund which is estimated at
$94 ,394,831 for fiscal 1850.
