Hearing Told
Cost Of Flood
On Anacosfia
ST. Million Project
Urged at Peace Cross
To Prevent Danger
By ROBERT X. WALSH

Another Anacostia River flood,
such as the 1888 record rising
that caused 100000 damage,
would cost $3.5 million devasta-
ton now. according to House
Public Works subcommittee tes-
timony urging a SGT million
Peace Cross project outlay.
The subcommittee today re-
leased recent hearing testimony
by Army Engineer Corps spokes-
men requesting funds for vast
variety of civil works in Eastern
States. This included reports by
Col. Alfred D Starbird. Army
Engineers flood control chief. on
progress of the Anacostia River
protection and navigation pro-
gram.
The work that began with a
100000 Federal appropriation
last year would eventually cost
the Government about $76 mil
lion. The SGT million is re-
quested for the fiscal year be-
ginning July /. Army officials
told the subcommittee that the
project will provide a high de-
gree of flood control for seven
tast-growing communities IN
Prince Georges County and will
prevent interruptions to traffic
on major northern approaches
to Washington due to flooding OF
the Peace Cross area, thus elm
mating extensive annual flood
damages"
To Fight Water Chestnuts
The appropriation request
also included items of $4,000
for elimination of water chest
nuts, heavy plant growth
which impedes navigation, from
the Potomac River and 100000
for work on the Washington
harbor.
Col. Starbird said Maryland
and local community co-opera-
ton with the Federal authorities
has been excellent" He reported
that about 80 per cent of the
total land necessary for the
project has already been made
available. He added that local
people have already initiated
the contract for relocation OF the
three bridges and also for the re-
location of the necessary utilr
tiles"
The Army official explained
that local interests in this Co
operative project" are under

rights-of- way and public re-
locations to the extent of $50
million.
More Than Flood Control
In response to queries by sew
eral members of the subcommit-
tee, Col. Starbird said the project
would do considerably more than
prevent the periodic floods in the
Peace Cross region. Those floods
in most instances have been
comparatively small, he said. but
there always is the danger of a
repetition of the 1888 flood.
Such an occurrence in the last
few years, and even at the pres
ent time, could approach the pro-
portions of a property disaster
because the communities in that
region have so greatly increased
in population size and real estate
values, he indicated.
Even as it is, he said, so-called
small floods have been occur
ring several times a year in that
area. with considerable damage
to houses as well as inconvenience
to motor vehicle traffic.

Hopes Raised
For $40 Million
U. 5. Payment
Cheekup DiscIoses
Error by House Unit
On District Surplus
BY DON S. WARREN

House actions on the Districts
embattled 1856 budget appar-
emily have raised a strong new
reason for a grant of the full
$40 million payment.
City experts checking the eff
fects of cuts made by the House
and it's method of accounting
insisted today there would be
a general fund deficit of $675. 900
not a surplus.
The House subcommittee in
charge of the bill said last week
there would be surplus of ST.
027,192.
Clerical mistakes in the House
are blamed for this $1,703 900
suplus-deficit disagreement.
officials Prepare Data
The situation is expected to
be examined thoroughly when
Senate hearings on the $166.9
million bill are begun early next
month. District officials are pre-
pairing data to support their
case.
The House, following the lead
of it's subcommittee, headed by
Representative Rabaut, Demo-
crat, OF Michigan, chopped the
Federal payment from $40 mil
lion to SIG million while slicing
the total of the bill by $85
million.
All major divisions took cuts
but the general fund program
took the biggest-by $50 million.
When the Rabaut subcommit-
tee cut funds for public works
it subtracted the whole amount
of the projects from revenue OBJ
legations. This was figured as
the whole amount of any one
project, say. although only a
part of it was to be available
for spending in the next fiscal
year. The rest was to be financed
in the following fiscal year.
Thus. using the figure for the
entire project was misleading.
d. C. Officials Criticized
Representative hatcher. Dem
ocrat, of Kentucky, member of
the subcommittee, said he had
heard nothing of such deficit ar
guments In a sharp reference
to District officials, he said "the
budget they sent up last January
was $860.000 out OF balance"
The Commissioners, shortly
before the beginning of House
hearings, revised their revenue
estimates and told the Rabaut
group their budget would be in
balance.
Projects Eliminated
Some of the general fund prof.
ects the House eliminated from
the bill were:
Woodbridge Branch Library for
which $4,000 was sought.
New fire engine house at
Twenty-fourth and Irving streets
Sc, $3.50, 900.
Warehouse for Children's Gen.
ter, Laurel, Md, $430,000.
New home for the Women's
Bureau, Police Departm n t,
$685., 900.
The present issue over the gen.
eral fund shortage is minor COM
pared with the fiscal problem TO
be faced later. assuming Con-
gress enacts District pay raise
bills. The Commissioners are
awaiting Budget Bureau action
on their plans for more taxes
and hopes for a higher Federal
payment.

Missing The Boat On An Important Project

Tabor City's response to the Boys
Home, Inc. fund raising drive has been
pathetic.
While some blame the scarcity of
donations on the season of the year,
they have but to look some 16 miles
away and get a glimpse of White
ville's efforts The neighboring
community has almost doubled the
81 90 goal set at a recent countrywide
meeting of committee members.
The apathy of local folks regarding
this wonderful institution stems prob
ably from the fact that they are clean
out of donations -. There seems to be
different one each week. But this
should not make us close our eyes to
such a project as Boys Home. The
need for this home is greater today
than ever before.
One shouldn't need extreme prod
ding to see the value of this institu-
ton. BY the same otken, donations
shouldn't have to be squeezed out of
the populace -.
We have found that the average
citizen does little toward making such
a success He sits back and waits
for the big money" donors to take
care of things &. Yet, it is the man
of moderate means who may someday
have need for such home Seldom
does the wealthy individual have need
