from SO million in District reve-

million in District revenues would
be made up in part by increased
water rates, $8.8 million: in
creased Waterman assessments,
$603.500. and full Federal pay
ment for water used, $5.4 million.

Gen. Prentiss assured him
that a new bridge, as we'll as all

to be justified when annual ap-

tiers.
Those who live in outlying
country areas Would reach the
center of the city speedily by ex-
press highways.
Referring to the decline in
Federal employment. he said that
movement is leveling of. and
there will be a gradual rise over
a long period.
On Growth of Capital.
The question DR.. Hoyt set for
himself was: will our National
Capital continue to grow in
numbers?" This is the text of
that part of his speech wherein
he answered the question:
First, Washington is the cap
ital of a dynamic nation of 16l
million people that is expected
to grow to 200 million by 1870
and to 900 million by 1880. and
not a static nation. which &C
cording to population forecasts
made 20 years ago would never
exceed 155 million in numbers.
Second. the National Capital
is now the defense headquarters
of the free world-it is a pool
of technical knowledge and SCI
entific research for making new
discoveries in military and naval
weapons which are also closely
linked to new methods and new
devices for civilian consumption.
Our Federal Government must
exercise its powers to protect the
health and welfare of all of its
citizens. Decentralization of
Government agencies outside of
Washington Metropolitan Area
has been carried as far as it is
feasible.
There is certain relationship
between the population of a ma
tional capital and the population
of a nation. In the first three
decades of this century the pop
ulation of the Washington Met
ropolitan Area was only about
half of per cent of the national
population. AS the functions
and responsibilities of the Fed
eral Government increased. this
increased 20 nearly ! per cent
in 1850 and it is now about IL
per cent.
The percentage is extremely
