D.C.'s Assessment SURVEY
At $500 Hit by Legislator

The District Commissioners

day by their chief congressional

crat, Of Michigan. chairman of

sultant. to see how bad the Dis
trict's situation is and tell them
what to do about it.
Outside Cost Up TO Million
The Commissioners have OPP
posed the quick reassessment on
the grounds that it is unneces-
sary and too expensive. Cost
has been estimated at from
$480,000 to 81 million to hire
an outside firm to do the job.
Instead, District officials have
urged that with few more en-
ployes they could do most Of a

In One Night

A fast-working. silent burglar
entered Is homes in the Hillcrest
Heights area of Prince Georges
County yesterday and robbed
them of a total of $l02 while

Wednesday, netting a total of
$135.
All of the burglaries have been
within a two-block radius of
Colebrooke drive and Iverson

Police said entry in most cases
was gained through a window.
The thief goes after money
in wallets and in some cases
residents have found their empty

Quoted by Mr.. Rabaut, who said
such an action might violate
congressional rules against writ
ing legislation into an appropri-
ations bill.
I'VE might put it into the re-
port (as recommendation

THE Commissioners authorized
hiring Of Mr.. Reeves after Mr.
Rabaut charged at public hear
ing on the budget that some
residential areas in the District
have not been reassessed in 20
years.
His complaint echoed a report
Of the General Accounting Office
which contended that reassess-
ment is long overdue in the Dis.
trict. but which rejected the idea
of a quick general reassessment
as too costly.

in an effort to work this out
without resort to the slow legis-
lative process" he reported.
The Virginia lawmaker, noting
that the new Maryland law does
not permit exemption of non
residents from the withholding
tax. said he was hopeful that the
Federal law directing Federal
State cooperation in withholding
Of State taxes could be modified
to stop the Withholding.
Gas I have pointed out" he
said, Maryland will be COM
PEELED to refund taxes withheld
from Virginians employed in
that State. Moreover a 6 per
,cent interest rate must be paid
This would seem costly from an
administrative standpoint as well.
Thus to insist on withholding
amounts which have to be re-
funded with interest, to use the
exact words of Maryland's Gov.
McKeldin, doesn't make sense.
ut would be sensible to deal
with this situation by requiring
Virginian working in Maryland
to file some sort of form with
the Maryland income tax bu-
reau attesting that the sums
which that State would withhold
are in fact sums which will have
to be refunded to meet the tax
obligation to the State of Vir-
ginia and that therefore Mary
land is not entitled to withhold
such sums"
Three weeks ago the congress
man conferred with Gov. Nc
Keldin on the withholding stu
alton, but last week State Con-
troller j. Willard Tawes ruled
that there could be no excep-
tons. Our opportunity to ex-
tend courtesies is necessarily
limited by the law" he said.

House May Get
Money Bill
Late This Week
Four Measures
To Be Token
Up Tomorrow
By HAROLD B. ROGERS

The Districts annual appro-
priation bill for the fiscal year
beginning July / is slated to be
reported by the House Appropri-
atoms Committee late this week
for action later by the House
itself
The SITS million city budget
sent to Congress in January has
been subjected to hearings by
an appropriations subcommittee
and prepared for submission to
the full 55-member House APP
preparation Committee.
The unit may send the bill
to the House Friday. But the
House probably will not get
around to debate and action on
it until sometime next week.
Cuts Disclosea
Some cuts have been made by
the subcommittee in the budget
requests. it was disclosed recently.
These were reported to include
81 million sliced off the requested
$40 million Federal payment to
city costs and elimination OF
funds to plan a Potomac river
bridge in line with Constitution
avenue NV.
This congressionally author
lied project still is the center of
controversy over whether it
should be a bridge or tunnel.
The House is scheduled to take
up four District bills tomorrow
when the first legislation of this
season from the District Com
mittee is ready for action.
The bills would: authorize a
District Civic Auditorium, in
Guiding a cultural center; raise
salaries of judges of Municipal
Court. the Municipal Court of
Appeals and the District Tax
Court by $1,000 each; permit the
consolidation of the Roosevelt
Memorial Association with the
Women's Theodore Roosevelt
Memorial Association and au-
thorize the consolidation of the
National Tax Association, or
ganized under District law. with
the Tax Institute, Inc, organ
lied under New York State law.
May Act This Week
The House District Committee
may hold an executive session
sometime this week to act on any
bills ready for the full 25-mem-
Der unit.
One measure already approved
by the subcommittee and sent to
the full committee would author
ize the Public Utilities. Commits
sion to raise the present three
cent fare for school children to
not more than one-half of the
cash fare. The cash fare now is
20 cents.
On the Senate side of the
Capitol proviso identical to the
House school children's bill is
pending in a so-called omnibus
bill on the floor of the Senate.
The Senate probably will act on
some bills from its calendar to-
morrow.
Pending also on the Senate
calendar is legislation to give
Washington home rule, but this
measure is not expected to be
called up for action tomorrow.
