City Drops Plan
For u. 5. Loan
WithoutInterest
Policy Shift Follows
Budget Bureau Stund
On Public Works

The District Commissioners
have decided to drop their efforts
to get an intereSt-free Federal
loan to help finance the pro-
posed 1882 million public works
program for the city.
Engineer Commissioner Louis
w. Prentiss announced the shift
IN policy yesterday after a meet
ing with members of the citizens
group which is supporting the
drive to convince Congress the
public works program should be
approved.
At the same time, Gen. Prem
tiss said the program had been
cut by about SO million to give
the present total of 1892 million.
$123 Million Loans.
The program now calls for
500 million to be contributed by
the District through increased
water rates and a new sewer
charge: $109 million in Federal
grant. and $123 million in a Fed
eral loan.
Opposition in the Federal
Budget Bureau caused the drop
ping OF efforts to get an interest
free Federal loan. The bureaus
position was that the Federal
Government had to pay interest
on the money and so should the
District.
Gen. Prentiss said the original
plan was to have the public
works program considered before
Congress took up the 1854
budget. Delays prevented this.
Consequently. the public works
program has been reworked.
Some $22 million in projects
contained in the 1854 budget
and in the first year of public
works program-were tleleted
since they will be in the budget
anyway.
Eight Year Program.
The water and sewer construc-
tion-originally a Six-vear pro-
gram in the public works plan
has been extended to eight years
to conform with the general
plan. This brings the total pub
lie works program to 1892 mil
lion.
Gen. Prentiss said the interest
bearing loan will be costly and
will call for changes in the Dis
trict budget.
The Commissioners still plan to
submit the public works program
to Congress after the Budget
Bureau has chance to go over
the new figures. It now will be
an eight-year program to start
in fiscal 1855 instead of in fiscal
1854 as originally planned.
Although the city heads would
like approval this session, the
prospects are not good.

0verho|ser Protest
IGNORED in Grantinq
Of Liquor License

The Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board today granted a
license transfer to Savannah
Liquors, 1345 Savannah street
Sc, over the protests of DR..
Winfred Overholser, superinten-
dent of st. Elizabeths Hospital.
The license, which is being
transferred from the Park Lane
Pharmacy. Twenty-f1rst street
and Pennsylvania avenue NV,
would allow the new store to sell
liquor within 1000 feet of the
hospital grounds, according to
DR.. Overholser's testimony at a
hearing last Friday.
He said he feared the proxim-
ity of the store would result in a
tendency to smuggle liquor to
inmates of the hospital, many of
whom are there because of al
coholism.
In granting the transfer the
ABC Board said it had paid sew
eral visits to the area since the
hearing and had found the near
est gate to the hospital was
some four-fifths of a mile from
the store. The board also saw
no patients using the field be-
hind the fence at the point
where it passes closest to the
liquor store.
Board Chairman Alan w
Payne, who voted against the
majority, explained he saw no
change in the situation since the
board refused to grant a trans
fer of liquor license to another
firm in the same shopping cen
ter a year ago.
During Fridays hearing police
said they anticipated no trouble
from having a liquor store at the
Savannah street address. The
closest liquor store is a mile
away.
