Your committee recognizes
that a situation under which
operations are conducted at q
defcit-as may well occur in ifs
cal 1862. 1868 and 1964-is obvi-
ously not sound. However, IL is
the belief Of your committee
that the first of these years Is
sufficiently far in the distance to
eliminate the need at this time
for planning for a balanced 1862
operating budget. These years
are still a number Of years away,
and we are working with esti-
mated figures; conditions there
fore may be substantially differ
ent when the time comes to pre-
pare the budget for 1862.

to the proposed new west mu-

The Dunn committee con-
cerned itself with works expendi-
lures falling under the city's gen.
eral fund. This leaves out ex-
tensive highway. sanitary sewer
water and motor vehicle parking
expenditures which are also
planned.
Construction Projects
The committee pointed out
that. some S185 million In con.
struction projects in these cate
gories are scheduled for the next
six years. These are supported
by separate financial resources
including large OUTLAWS from the
Federal Government.
The Dunn committees plan
represents a revision of a 10-year
works program which was APP
proved by Congress in 1854.
This 10-year program carried
a price tag Of about $306 mil
lion. Much of this has not YET
been appropriated.
Also. the city's existing l0-yeaI
program included $145 millior
in general fund projects. OF that
total, $50 million In projects
have not yet been carried out.
The Dunn committee said thai
except for schools the increased
capital outlay 1t was proposing
was needed mostly to NEE
higher construction costs.
The proposed $l4l capital ex'
penditure amounts to a yearl,
average over the next six years
of $23.5 million. This compares
with only about Sic million
budgeted for the next fiscal year
and an average Of SIS million
annually spent since 1852.

Federal Government, which does
control District finances.
Proposals have been made and
bills have been introduced in the
Senate providing for borrowing
to cover the school construction
program. It is our view that
the entire physical plant coming
under the general fund Of the
District Of Columbia must be
considered as one, and that any
borrowing should be on behalf
of the general fund as q whole.
without reference to specific
projects.
Your committee recommends
specifically the following pro-
posals for financing the balance
of the Public Works Program and
the general operation of the Dis
trict Of Columbia for the fiscal
years 1859 through 1864: The
Federal participation in the OPP
Grating expenses Of the General
Fund should be raised from the
current figure of SIC million per
year to q figure Of $23.5 million
Tin addition to the 81 million
authorized for capital outlaws Il
the authorized but unappropri-
ated funds which currently total
SIS million should be appropri-
ated for capital outlay purposes
before the end of fiscal 1860; the
District Commissioners should bel
given the authority to borrow at
going rates (under the plan cur
rently in effect for the other
funds of the DISTRICT q total Of
up to 500 million, such funds
to be repaid within 80 years. As
indicated earlier in this report.
the vast majority Of the projects
contemplated are ones which
could be expected to have useful
life substantially In excess Of 30
years; we consequently feel that
q 3O-year amortization plan rep
resents a conservative approach.

strict economy is used in COM

gram. the amount CT borrowing

capital requirements for these

that they further give careful

The Dunn Committee asserted
that q study Of the present Dis
tFict tax structure indicates
there is mo room for tax in
creases which can be placed up
on the District taxpayer"
The committee also said the
Districts population is unlikely
Ito increase rapidly and that
property in the city is constantly
being removed from the tax rolls.
The Federal Government now
owns 43 per cent of the city's
total land area, all tax-exempt.
And some SIS million in proper
lty is removed from the tax rolls
each year because such property
lis transferred to tax-exempt or
foundations, such as foreign
governments, the committee
pointed out.
Reneging Is Charged
The Federal Government has
not even been living UP to its
commitments under the existing
works program. the committee
said, although under this 10-year
program the Federal Government
was to appropriate SIC million
annually for operations and 81
million for construction.
II Congress. follows through
pending budget action. the city
will get no more than SOS mil
lion this year, which would leave
an accumulated backlog Of SIS
million unappropriated to which
the city is theoretically entitled.
The committee proposed that
Congress should lift the annual
payment to $23.5 million for OPP
erations and an additional 81
million for capital outlay in each
of the next six years.
It also said the unappropriated
backlog should be handed over
by Congress by no later than
1860.
The committee urged that the
District Commissioners be given
authority-which they now lack
to borrow up to 500 million
from the Treasury. The money
would be paid back within 80
years. The borrowing would be
at what the committee termed as
going rates"
Bond Issue Opposed
The committee opposed, how
ever, allowing the District to
float q public bond issue. It also
said any borrowing should be on
behalf Of the city's general fund
as a whole without reference to
specific projects.
School leaders have been urg-
ing that the Board Of Education
be empowered to borrow funds
specifically for school projects.
A bill authorizing such school
borrowing is currently pending
In Congress.
The committees report said
the District is facing an operat-
ing deficit even though city reve-
nue. is expected to climb con-
siderably in the next several
years.
The Dunn group reported that
tax revenue is expected to in
crease from this years $l36 mil
lion to some $156 million In 1864.
City Facing Deficit
But 1t said that the city faces
cumulative operating deficit by
then Of some $43 million. In
addition. under the newly pro-
posed program, 1t will need some
$76 million for construction, the
committee said.
The committee said it was in
GLIDING only construction prof.
ects which are regarded as
necessary in the new program.
Another So million worth of
projects was called desirable, but
was omitted from the program.
The committee said the Fed
eral Government "in all equity"
ought to carry part Of the cost
lof the proposed construction
