for the present fiscal year at
previously approved levels and
reduce next years payments
to the States by only 10 per
cent,
For instance, the District had
been scheduled to receive $l98
million in Federal aid for in
terstate highways in fiscal
1861. Under the bill approved
by Congress, the District would
receive about SITS million.
Virginia had been scheduled
to receive $102 million and
would be apportioned about
$685. million under the pend
ing bill. Maryland's 1861 APP
portioned was cut from $45.l
million to $40.6 million.
The reduction in Federal
payments will mean a slight
showdown in interstate projects
here but nothing like the delays
threatened this spring and
summer when Congress and the
administration were at an i'm
passe over highway financing.
Bill q Compromise
The administration wanted
to increase the Federal motor
fuel tax from 3 to AZ cents per
gallon and the Democratic ma
jority in Congress was OPP
posed to any increase. The
compromise bill on the PreSi-
dents desk provides for the
penny per gallon increase. be-
ginning October l, until July l,
and diversion of part Of the
income from the auto excise tax
from the general fund to the
highway trust fund from 1862
through 1864.
The gasoline tax increase is
expected to bring an additional
1893 million into the highway
trust fund in the nine-month
period beginning October /.
and $500 million in fiscal 1861
The Bureau Of Public Roads
said there would be no reduce
ton in fiscal 1861 in the pri-
mary, secondary and urban
road program. Under this pro-
gram, in which the Govern
ment pays so per cent Of the
construction cost, the District
has been apportioned SIS mil
lion for 1861. Virginia is to re-
ceive $17.3 million and Mary
land, $40 million.

depend on ALLEGATIONS from the

Court Rules
$500 Should
Be Repaid by
Town Heads

Former Gaithersburg May
or Harry c. Perry, ST., and
seven present or former town
councilmen should re turn
more than $1,000 in fees they
were paid by the city, a Cir
cult Court judge ruled yester-
day.
Judge Kathryn j. Lawlor, in a
seven-page opinion, found that
the men "acted honestly but mis-
takenly," in paying themselves
for city work over an eight-year
period
Neither Perry nor E. Russell
Gloyd, who was named in the citi-
zen's suit brought by Roy L. Tai
bolt, would comment on the rul-
ing.
Talbott's attorney, Barnard t.
Welsh, commended that the city's
practice of paying fees to coun-
cilmen for work they performed
was unconstitutional under the
city's charter. Judge Lawlor up
held that argument. Welsh said
that the total that must be re-
paid to the city may reach $4,000.
Work for which Perry and
some of the cOuncihnen were
paid included such chores as
painting fire plugs, parking
lines, curbs, and hauling black
top.
Others named in the suit were
Charles p. Fox, George w. Mar
shall, C. Sprigg Ward, Samuel B.
Briggs NOV deceased, John w.
Griffith, Rodney M. Thompson.
Welsh emphasized that neither
present Mayor Merton F. Duvall,
nor Councilman Milton Walker
ever accepted any fees ~ city
work. Duvall, in fact, strongly
opposed such practice, Welsh de-
clared.
