most equal the gas tax con-

Added Gpayment Suggested
The highway leaders also
suggested that the city might
ask Congress TO increase the
present authorized $23 million
annual Federal payment TO the
general fund to supplement
the highway budget.
William Lissek. Highway De-
partment finance chief, said
such an approach probably
would be more successful than
asking for more direct Federal
highway help. since the high
way department already draws
heavily on Federal funds.
4 Mr.. Robertson warned. II the
Epessimistic new revenue and
cost estimates are borne out
and additional funds are not
provided. highway projects will
have to be postponed.
Francis J.. Kane. council
chairman. and other members
expressed immediate concern
after hearing Mr.. Robertson's
proposals.
Mr.. Kane said he feels 1t
would be very serious II any
additional tax burdens we're
put on District business. Many

Gas Sales slump
Mr.. Robertson pointed out
that the principal sort Of Dis
trict highway reven1le, the
motor fuel tax, has been
dwindling because Of slumpine
gasoline sales since last scar.
He said that in revising the
highway estimates. 1t has been
assumed that this gas tax
revenue will not slump fur
ther.
He also said the new esti-
mates are geared TO 1856 costs
and that they do not take ac-
count OF possible further in
fiation. Highwsy officials have
blamed imitation ms the biggest
factor in the new cost revision.
Construction costs Have been
rising ut the rate OF 4 or S per
cent year. they say. II
Mr., Robertson and his as
sistantS put particular stress
on the 81 million a year the
Highway Department is now
.relinquiShing from the gas tax
to the Police Department. He
suggested this could be turned
back to highway use. As an
alternative. he said. the Police
Department might turn over
to the Highway Department

Holiday drinkers today re-
ceived their perennial re-
minder please not to drive after
partying.
The warning came from
District Trafiic Director George
E. Keneipp. who singled out
once parties as perhaps the
greatest hazards to Christmas
season road safety.
Mr.. Keneipp preached neither
drinking nor non-drinking in
some 1000 letters to District
business leaders. The letters
are to be handed out to ONCE
party sponsors.
But the traffic chief did sug =
gest the potential danger TO
those who drive home after
being served intoxicating bev-
erageS."
