calls it about as successful
a legislative program as the
District ever attempted"
New Money Sources
What the works legislation
did was to- provide brand-new
sources of money for new pub
lie conStruction-through a SO
million increase in the annual
Federal payment ana authority
for the city to borrow an ad-
ditional SIS million-without
increases in local tax rates.
1t is true that, to become
effective, the District must get
specific appropriations each
year for new schools, hospitals
and other buildings. To in
sure this, for example, Congress
each year must live up to its
promise to vote a higher Fed
eral payment.
But the point stressed by
city officials is that without
the authorization for new funds
no money would have been in
sight for critically needed con-
struction beyond the coming
fiscal year. So much of the
city's normal revenues are
neeoeu Tor operating expenses,
none appeared available to
apply against long range build
ing projects.
Without the new financing
program, in short, there would
be no works program at all.
The end of the bridge con-
troversy came on a note that
seemed impossible even a few
months ago-one of almost
complete agreement among
Federal and District agencies.
How did these things come
about? What made these eff
forts more successful than past
attempts?

| Inc DlSJTlCC Health Depart

peal machinery for citizens ano

enforcement orders, it was
learned yesterday.
officials may set up a de-
partmental appeal board. A
major role of such a group
would be to hear protests
against orders for structural
and equipment changes in res
taurants and other business es-
adjustments.
The proposed move is an out
growth of complaints by the
restaurant industry against en-
forcement actions by tn c
Health Departments Bureau OF
Food and Public Health En-
cheering.
The bureau, directed since
last year by William H. Cary,
jr., has been seeking to force
changes in plumbing and other
facilities in some restaurants.
Revamping Ordered
AS the result of protests, the
Com missioners last week
Strippd the Health Department
of its power to screen annual
license renewals. A revamp-
ing of restaurant health en-
forcement procedures also was
ordered.
The Districts Board of APP
pealS and Review, a body out
side the Health Department,
until now has played a role in
some health cases. License
denials resulting from Health
Department diSapproval have
been renewable by this board
But the Commissioners &C.
ton last week apparently ended
the boards jurisdiction. Charles
w. Hart, hearing officer of the
board, said the board, under ex-
listing authority, can hear only
cases involving license denials
This would leave those desir-
ing to appeal a Health Depart
ment order nowhere to turr
except to court, since the de-
partment itself now has no for
NAL appeal machinery.
Cafe Men To Meet
The form of possible new ma
chinery has not yet crystsllized
1t is expected to be a topic at a
meeting scheduled late this
month by a five-man restaurant
industry advisory committee
which is helping to revise res
taurant regulations.
Mr.. Cary emphasized he would
oppose any procedures that
would slow enforcement to the
point of endangering public
health. He said, however. that
he would favor some appeal
machinery at the level OF
Health Director Daniel L. Finu-
cane.
Commissioner Karrick yester-
day suggested a possible alter
native. He said the Board OF
Appeals and Review might have
its authority enlarged to in
clude health cases.
Commissioner Karrick. in q
WWDC broadcast, said last
night the city is suspending
demands for major structural
changes in restaurants until
after reStudy Of present regu-
lations.
Mr., Karrick said 1t would be

jor renovations before possible
revisions of the requirements

Actually, the Commissioners

iEation to borrow 500 million.
The program was cut to SIP
million by eliminating projects
and reducing the loan to SIS
million. Essentially, however,
the Commissioners got what
they asked for.
Tax Rate Stressed
A key argument Of their mes
sage was that District residents
taxes, already equal to those Of
surrounding suburbs, should
not be raised. And they asked
Congress to declare in a reso-
luton Of policy that the Fed
eral government should pay as
its share of the Capitals ex-
penses. amounts needed each
year beyond a fair level of To-
cal taxes.
While Congress failed to
adopt such a resolution, its
committee reports recognized

ing it was Impractical to A.

cause District residents and

The bill is one of three sched-
uled for the Fiscal Affairs sub
committee of the House District
Committee to be aired at a
public hearing at 1890 am. to-
morrow
The bill, by Representative
Mcmillan, chairman of the
House District Com mitt e e,
would raise the salaries of the
Commissioners and the superin-
tendent from $4,000 to $4,000
a year. The president of the
Board of Commissioners would
receive an additional $500.
Pending before a Senate Dis

sponsored by the Commission
ers and introduced by Senator
Bible, Democrat of Nevada,
chairman of the full District
Committee. 1t would provide
salaries of $4,000 a year with
the $500 extra for the president
of the board.
Senator Morse, Democrat OF
oregon, has offered a bill to
raise the school superintend-
ent's salary to $4,000.
Claim Deadlines

Gated that both the Federal 2
and the total budget figure
will be cut back.
The Federal Government paid
only $40 million this year to-
ward the city's operations to
make up for the police, fire and
other services as we'll as for the
tax-eXempt status of its vast
holdings here. Also in the
status Of tax-exemption are the
properties of foreign nations

District taxpayers-who have
no vote in CongreSS-are as
sessed for all but the $40 mil
lion Federal payment toward
the $l98.6 million which it cost
to operate the municipality
during the current fiscal year.
Action Set Friday
Testimony of city govern
ment heads during closed hear
ings before the Rabaut sub
committee will be released to
the public about midweek. Ac-
ton by the full Appropriations
Committee on the subcommit-
tees recommendations is sched-
uled for Friday.
Another vital fiscal problem
for the District-an increase
in teachers salaries-is due to
come before the Senate District
Committee at a public hearing
at 10 am. Wednesday.
This. coupled with proposed
raises for other city employees,
including police and firemen,
is likely to entail an increased
tax rate or new sources of tax
revenue, according to testi-
mony already presented.
On Frid9v, Distric ~ :, ng
budget makers estimated pay
raises would, If approved, add
an additional S18 million, in
stead of $13 million, to the cost
of municipal operations.
When the budget was sent
to Congress by President Eli
senhower early this year. it
included a request for a Federal
payment Of $25 million. This
is SIS million more than the city
got this year and So million
more than the $23 million
which is authorized.
Last week Mr.. Eisenhower
signed legislation which "au-
thorlzed"-but did not APP
propriate-a Federal payment
of $32 million to the District.
Schuyler Lowe. director of
General Services for the Dist
riot, said last week the pay
raise proposals might require
a request to the Federal Gov
eminent for an additional SO
million.
This is due partly to Congress
sional approval of a 10 per

workers. retroactive to the first
