Minnesota ---- 1.57 1.8e
Dist. of Columbia 1.24 II
In conclusion let me emphasize
that the Districts borders are
permanently fixed. its growth is
carefully guided and Government
is its major industry. Moreover,
our highly mobile population
creates serious problems of rev.
enue law enforcement, and we
have a decentralization move
ment already setting in.
We cannot reach out and an
mex adjacent territory as the tax
able wealth moves outward; nor
will the rigid restrictions on our
growth permit the establishment
Iof major industries other than
Government which might give us
additional revenue.
Our highly fluid population is
largely composed of State citizens
and this makes it difficult for us
Ito find levies which will force
them to contribute to the District
government some payment for all
the excellent service supplied
them.
Fiscal Relations Cited.
I am sure you will find that
the history of the fiscal relations
between the District and the Fed
eral Government reveals the
inescapable conclusion that the
Federal Government has seldom
met its financial responsibilities
to the District. Occupying the
greater portion of the land area
and receiving a multitude of Serv-
ices from the local government, il
shifts much of the burden onto
the local residents by it's failure
to pay a sum equal to the cost OF
the services supplied it, or to pay
a sum equal to those calculated
by any of the leading formulas
(for instance, the O'Mahoney
formula) which have been ad-
vanced.
Furthermore, 1t upon occasion
used the District as a scapegoat ir
economy moves, seeking Federal
economy by slashing its annual
payment to the District. Since
the Federal payment to the Dis
trict is considered as a repay
ment for services rendered, such
moves appear to be regulations
of obligations.

Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-

plans to convince the country
that the Federal Government fails
to pay it's fair share for running

He wants to issue a brochure

1t would be patterned, he said
on the book written by the late

The brochure, he explained

Citizens Pay Their Share.
The residents of the District
of Columbia have always been
ready and willing to. pay their
share for the upkeep and opera
ton of the Capital City. This
cost is becoming astronomical. In
1917 the total cost of running the
city government was approx
mately SIG million. In 1945 the
total cost was approximately $685.
90l 900, and for the fiscal year
1858, the Budget estimates were
in excess of $136 million.
When you think of these as
founding increases and compare
them with the table Of Federal
payments heretofore submitted to
this committee, you cannot help
but feel that there Is an inequi-
table situation in the fiscal rela-

Public Housing Repor'
Shows Only 1880
Units Built in 7 Years
By Robert J. Lewis

py NUDeTt ). LEWIS
Only 13,50O public housing units
have been completed in more than
two years under the national pro-
gram authorized by Congress in
1949, a Senate committee was in
formed yesterday.
Housing already under way was
described as high cost" in a re-
port submitted by Joseph P. Nc
Murray, director Of the Senate
Banking Committee staff.
Land costs for the subsidized
Government developments bulk
ed very large" owing to the fact
that projects were often in central
city areas, and land prices FIRE
quently seemed exorbitant," the
report stated.
Where attempts were made to
avoid such high land cost by locat-
ing projects in sites away from the
center of the city, resistance was
met on the part of neighborhood
groups" Mr.. McMurray explained
Not Critical of Program.
While citing concern over costs
and other aspects of the program,
the McMurray report was not
critical of the program and ac-
cepted, in general, the Public
Housing Administrations expla-
nation Of cost levels as being due
partly to relatively large num-
Der of rooms per unit.
The report was based on a re-
view of public housing programs
in 19 cities.
Mr.. McMurray said his general
impression was that the housing
was we'll constructed but that the
density of units per acre in most
projects was too high.
MANY of the amenities of pri-
vate housing were lacking-closet
doors, tile baths and showers,
ornamental hardware. kitchen
cabinets, etc." the report Said
"Such things as cement floors and
ceilings, and in some cases cement
tile walls, reduced somewhat the
attractiveneSs of the interior, but
increased the durability and re-
duced the cost of maintenance"
National Average S1O,6OO.
In most cities. he said, the total
development cost ranged from
$4,000 to $4,000 per unit, with
the Nationwide average standing
at $10,600 per unit.
In about 8 per cent of the cases.
tenants had incomes in excess of
the permissible limits, the survey
found.
Referring to resistance by neigh
borhood groups, the report said:
"The chief opposition seems to
arise-and this was true espe-
cially in the northern cities-from
what the people in the neighbor-
hood to be selected believed would
be change in the racial character
of a neighborhood.
THE housing authorities, we
found, were not attempting to
make any radical change in neigh
borhood patterns and were at
tempting in realistic way to meet
their prime responsibility of pro-
viding decent housing and re-
spectacle neighborhoods for those
for whom they had to provide the
housing.
while they were somewhat re-
1uctant to discuss what they felt
was a delicate subject. housing
authority officials in the various
cities implied that the enlightened
leaders among the minority groups
and the other civic groups were
more anxious to provide the basis
for decent and respectable living
in way which is acceptable in
the community than they we're in
causing social friction and mega
tive action"

Few creations of the kitchen are
pointed to with such pride-or dis
tress-as pastry. When pastry is
good it is fit for king, but when it
is bad it is worse than no dessert.
No woman wha aspires to be a good
all-round cook can count her educa-
ton complete until she is able to
make pies of mouth melting good
ness.
Making good pastry is not SO diff
ficult as it would seem. The COM
bining of flour, shortening, salt and
water, in the right way, produces
delicious pastry, these directions are
found in all cook books. Most of
us are taking the easy way these
days for making only a single pie,
by using the packaged pie crust mix
found at your grocer's. The finished
product is all you could ask for
There are however other pointers
to be considered in making good
pies and cuStards such as mentioned
below
Keep These Tips Handy
Roll on the Top: Sure cure for
top crusts that break or crumble is
to roll them over the rolling pin,
then unroll across the filled pie tin.
For an easy to make sweater for the
rolling pin, purchase pair of child'S
white stockings at the dime store,
Cut off the foot, A piece of canvas
