Nationalist terrorists put the

Treasury to the credit of the
District for the purposes herein
set out. (June 20. 1929"
How the Commissioners will
fulfill this duty is obviously
under panied consideration.
Their big problem is that they
do not know how much Congress
lis going to make the city spend
this year.
If no further pay raises are
approved by Congress, city of.
ficials say, the District may be
able to get through 1856 without
amy increase in its income.
This is becadse tax revenues
are coming in at the rate of be-
tween So million and 50 million
a year higher than first expected
Consequently, officials say
there should be just about
enough surplus in the budget
to cover wage increases to judges
and classified workers already
granted by Congress and boosts
to hourly workers approved by
the Commissioners.
If. however. Congress approves
Ipay raises for teachers. police
and f1remen, the city probably
would be in the red. Exemption
Iof the Capital Transit from the
gross receipts tax would increase
the red ink.
The question for the Commits

to squeeze a revenue bill through
