District Funds Bill
Gets Final Approval
OF Senate and House
$16o.o Million Measure,
Biggest in History
Goes to White House
By Don S. Warren

The House and Senate today
gave quick approval to the con-
ference agreement on the 1855
District supply bill, the biggest
in history.
The measure, providing for an
outlay of $169.9 million for the
fiscal year beginning Thursday
now goes to the White House for
signature into law.
Launches Works Program.
The bill is not only a record
breaker in size but signals the
actual beginning of a ten-year
public works program. 1t is a
big program, although some re-
quested city funds felt the econ
omy knife.
The bill authorizes an in
crease from Sill million to $40
million in the Federal share.
Taxes of. District residents and
visitors were jumped by about
SIS million for each year.
Compromises were involved,
but most of them are on the
liberal side.
For instance, for District civil
defense, often a whipping boy"
in the House. the conferees rec
commended an outlay of $3.50 900.
Compromise Figure.
For this protective service the
city had asked 100000. The
House slashed this to SIS 1000.
The Senate raised it to $4,000
and the House Senate conferees
compromised on $150,000.
There was a compromise, too
for the new combined Depart
ment of Licenses and Inspections
It was to get $1,378.000 for the
next fiscal year, big increase
over the House figure, but a cut
back from the Senate. Officials
said it would permit a start IN
the programmed new attack on
slum housing problems but with
a reduced number of new hous-
ing inspectors.
AS is usual, however, the exact
details were left to be worked
out by city authorities under
the fund limits. Some on the Hill
guessed it would permit about
half of the % new slum housing
inspectors proposed by city
officials.
The fringe parking lot plan
also got a PARKWAY break.
