Cut Asked in DC. Costs
For Southeast Hospital

District officials today made
a strong plea to the fiscal SUBJ
committee Of the House District
Committee to cut down on the
amount Of money the District
must pay for private hospital
facilities built here under Gov
eminent aid.
This developed at a hearing
on a bill to include in the Dis
trict Hospital Center Act pro-
vision for Government aid in
the development of a proposed
SO million hospital in South
west Washington near the
Maryland line.
This hospital would be To-
Gated at or near Camp Sims.
on Alabama avenue Sc.
Originally, the District gov
eminent was to repay over a
long term of years 80 per cent
of the net costs to the Federal
Government. But in 1851 this
act was amended to require
District taxpayers to pay half
of the Federal Government

perhaps somewhat like the
Port of New York Authority.
The institute which DR.. Fitch
represents here has been re-
tanned to make a study in con-
nection with the area mass
transit survey. DR.. Fitch and
others reported on the survey
to a joint meeting of the re-
gional planning council and the
National Capital Plannin g
Commission. DR.. Fitch also
said:
/. A system Of rapid transit
by express buses or cars on
rails will be found to be cheap
er than dependence entirely on
a highway program.
2. 1t is generally recognized
that any form of a transit sys-
tenn will have to be subsidized
3. A larger proportion of the
total costs of such a system will
be concentrated in the District
while the benefits will go SUBJ
stantially to the people living
outside the District.
This last, he pointed out. will
be one of the difficulties in
reaching a workable plan.
ANY solution of necessity
will have to be worked out by
negotiation and compromise, .
DR.. Fitch warned. There will
always be solid basis for objec-
tions to iany solution that is
worked out"
On the problem Of forming
an area-wide organization he
remarked, This is the tough
est area to work in because of
the three jurisdictions involved

Boy, g, Who Feared Fire,
Burns to Death in Shed

An 8-year-old Fairfax Coun-
ty boy who was afraid of fire
burned to death yesterday in
flames which consumed q shed
used as a playhouse near his
home.
The victim was Perry A.
Carter. son of Mr.. and Mrs.
r. H. Carter of Barbara road in
Windsor Estates subdivision
near Franconia.
Mrs. Carter had to be pulled
away from the blazing shed in
which her son was trapped.
The mother was atill in state
Of shock today.
From her bed at home, Mrs.
Carter said her son was
afraid of fire."
Used as Playhouse
The shed. used as a play
house by neighborhood chill
dren. was across the street from
the Carter home. Mrs. Carter
said she saw the blaze and
started running to the shed
when she realized her son was
not at the house.
Il called him and knew he
was in there because he didn't
come" she said.
Mrs. Cloie Bowman, whose
house is near the shed, said she
had to drag Mrs. Carter away
from the flames which had
enveloped the playhouse. She
said Mrs. Carter was trying to
open the door with a stick.
Mr.. Carter. mechanic at
Fruit Growers Express Co. iE
Alexandria. said the door opened
toward the inside. He said the
boy may have become panic
stricken when the fire started
and tried to push the door
open the wrong way. !
Home ScOrched
Firemen from several COM
panieS were called and pre-
vented the flames from spread

Maryland. Virginia and the
District"
He called attention to the
fact that the motorists out-of-
pocket expenses in driving be-
tween home and the job are
comparatively small and the
fact motor travel is heavily sub
sidized is lost sight Of. The
only way to avoid a subsidy for
transit. he went on, would be to
find some way to make the
charge of auto driving more
nearly equally the cost of serv-
ing the motorist; then transit
fares could be higher.
He touched on various ways
of financing of a transit system
but came to no definite conclu-
sion. He declared that by 1880
the real estate tax base would
be up so per cent or more
reaching approximately 50 bill
lion in assessments in the area
and that there would probably
be an increase in income by
SIS billion.
Keneth M. Hoover, director
for the planning survey, told
the meeting that the work is
about at the point where data
is to be processed to determine
the advantages of three transit
systems: An auto-dominant
system. an express bus system
with the buses along separate
ways along the highways. and
thirdly. the highways combined
with rapid transit rail system.

Under a bill now awaiting
action by the Senate District
Committee the Districts share
of costs would be cut back to
80 per cent.
cost.
All Of this inspired subcom-
mittee interest. Representative
Miller. Republican of Nebraska,
wanted to know how much the
District government had paid
back under the 1916 Hospital
Center Act. Irving Bryan, as
sistant corporation counsel, said
he did not think the District
yet had paid anything. He said
he thought this was so because
the bill had not yet been ten
dered.
Majority Opposed
This did not satisfy Mr..
Miller, who looked at the stat
ute and said it requires the
District to repay Uncle Sam at
the rate of 3 per cent a year
and that it hadn't been done.
He said "this is a little disturb
ing" and probably would prove
so to members in the House.
Earlier. Commissioner Nc
Laughlin reported that the ma
jority of the Board of Com
misSioners had voted against
the bill to include the South
east Washington hospital prof.
ect under the aid act on a
finding that the District now
has an ample number of pri-
vate general hospital beds to
meet the needs of the Dis
trict.
Commissioner Mclaughlin
said the Commissioners agreed
that in the entire Washington
Metropolitan Area. there was a
hospital bed shortage of about
2,400 to $500
AS to action on the Southeast
Washington project. Commits
sioner Mclaughlin found him.
self in the minority. He said
he felt that District taxpayers
in Southeast Washington were
being afforded unequal treat
ment. Taxpayers over there,
he said are mile and miles"
away from the hospital center
being built on the grounds of
the United States Soldiers
Home.
