Sought for Dc.
Spending Plans

Acting on the heels of a $40
local tax boost, the Citi-
zens' Advisory Council yesterday
asked the District Commission
erS to put dollar ceilings on de-
partmental spending plans the
next time they draw up budget.
Seeking to hold the depart
mental estimates within the city'S
expected revenue for the fiscal
year 1858. and reduce pressure
for new tax increases, the coun-
Gil issued a one-sentence, 1881
word public statement. 1t said:
Because of the very stringent
fiscal situation of the District
Government and in view Of the
fact that it was necessary to
again increase taxes this year,
the Citizens Advisory Council
desires to recommend to the
Commissioners that, in their con-
sideration of the District Of CO.
lumbia budget for the coming
fiscal year 1858, they first deter
mine the amount of the estimated
revenue for that year and then,
after such determination has
been made, decide, taking into
consideration the needs Of the
departments, how much money
can be allocated to each Of the
departments, and that then the
departments be required to live
within the allocated figures as
their basic budget, and that any
requests over and above the basic
budget be submitted in the form
of a supplemental request on a
priority basis"
Discussed Basic Ideas
Commissioner Robert E. Nc
Laughlin said the statements
underlying ideas had been dis
cuSsed with the city heads at a
meeting Friday, but that he had
not seen the text.
He said the idea was to have
the city heads estimate expected
revenues and divide the figure
among the various departments.
Departmental spending requests
would not be permitted to exceed
the dollar ceiling thus estab-
ished.
Any requests for additional
spending would have to be sub
mitted to the Commissioner
separately. with each project
eValuated against the others on
a priority basis.
Last autumn, for example, the
city departments asked permis-
sion to spend S2l3 million during
the coming fiscal year, which be-
gins next July l.
Past Performance Noted
The Commissioners, who are
required by law to keep spend
ing in balance with income,
trimmed the requests down to
$l96 million. Even then. they
could not submit the full re-
quest to Congress until enact
ment Of the city's new revenue
act last March 81. Originally.
they submitted only requests to
spend Sl83 million, because to
ask for more would have ex-
ceeded their anticipated income.
1t has been pointed out, in the
case OF the Health Department,
for example, that spending re-
quests are usually extreme. This
has left the Commissioners-all
laymen--With the job of evalu-
ating one medical program
against another in deciding
where to cut the requests.
Although Congress has not yet
completed action on the citys
budget for the coming fiscal year
OF 1857. departmental requests
for the following year will start
to roll in by Fall and must be
processed and sent to the Fed
eral Budget Bureau by Deem

Retire. Ruled
Out by Almond

The right of retired Federal
employees to hold local Offices in
Virginia was in doubt today after
a new ruling by Attorney General
j. Lindsay Almond, jr., involving
a candidate for town Office in
'Dinwiddie County.
He specifically ruled that a
candidate in the Dinwiddie
County town of McKenney was
Ineligible because he will be re-
ceiving a retirement allowance
from the Federal Government
on May /.
Virginia law generally pro-
hibits Federal employes-or 9TH
ers receiving any emolument
from the Federal Government
from holding local Offices in the
State. There are a number of
exceptions. One exception per-
mits certain Federal employees
to serve on school boards. An
other exempts military personnel
and persons retired from the
service.
One Of the exceptions to the
general law specifically permits
Federal clerks" to hold town
ofices-but this exception does
not mention retired Federal
workers In towns.
This exemption permitting
Federal clerks to hold town Of
flces was upheld by the Virginia
Supreme Court of Appeals in
June, 1854. in a case involving
Mayor Louis N. Moore of Vienna.
A suit was filed challenging his
right to hold town Office be-
cause he was Federal worker,
but the high court held that he
was permitted to do so under
