District Official
Hopeful for Added
Federal Funds

Commissioner David 3 Kar-
rick yesterday held forth the
hope Of an increased Federal
payment to meet the Districts
growing financial need.
Mr.. Karrick, appearing on
Radio Station WWDC's weekly
Report to the People, said he
felt some cuts made in depart
ment requests by the District
Budget Office would be restored,
particularly Health and Welfare
funds.
Mr.. Karrick said the city's A.
nancial status depends on the
Federal payment. The estimated
Federal payment for the 1858
fiscal year is $23 million. In the
past two years, Congress has APP
propriated IS million less than
the authorized amount.
Commissioner Karrick said the
Districts financial situation is
not critical although there are
some complications. particularly
in school building programs. He
said he believed there is a pos
sibility Of a $40 million bond
issue to meet school building
needs.
Mr.. Karrick said the SUCCESS
ton made last week at the budg-
ct hearings that the District en-
ploy a full-time lobbyist to look
out for its financial welfare
merited consideration. He said
the lobbyist should not be a
professional from outside, but a
member Of the District Govern
ment.
