told Mr.. Pyle the disputed route

without consultation required

said board members were mot

D. c. Realty
Assessment
$2.2 Billion
By SAM EASTMAN
Star stan Writer

The Districts finance off,
Ger today estimated that the
real estate assessments for the
fiscal year beginning July / will
total nearly $2.2 billion, an in
crease Of more than $2l2 mil
lion over the current figure.
In a report to the Commits
sioners, Finance Ofiicer Ken
meth Back said the increase re-
suits from completion Of the re-
assessment program along with
construction Of new buildings.
The estimated assessment fig
ures will be revised at the mid
point OF the fiscal year to in
clude new construction.
Mr.. Back. chairman of the
Board Of Equalization and Re-
view. gave the total estimated
assessment figure for the 1860
fiscal year as $2,l97, 1886, 500.
This reflects a jump of S2l2,-
873,047 over the comparable fig
ure for the current fiscal period
The estimated assessment
figure on land is nearly $7O7
million and on buildings is
nearly SIS billion. The in
crease is land assessments is
nearly $92 million and on
buildings is more than $l2l
million.
At the current real estate
tax rate of $3.50 per 500 of as
sessed valuation, the city would
receive about sos million in
revenue.
Finance officials hope to re-
assess one-fourth of the prop
erty each year to maintain a
continuing program.

hard to mix easily with other

Yet it is important that she

recently postponed in favor of
the Junior college idea. after
a management consultant firm
found no pressing need in the
District for such an institu-
tion-at least, at the moment.
Mr.. Karrick expressed doubt
that the District would be able
to finance a city college in the
years ahead. He said cities of
comparable size are now run
ming into deficits which have
occurred largely through the
result of setting up unofficial"
institutions or programs.
Points of Agreement
Board members and school
officials were apparently able
to sell their junior college plan
to District management and
budget officials on these points:
/. Setting up a junior college
would cost nothing in the first
year and only $4,000 in the
next two years.
2. New facilities would not
be required, and an enrolment
of l25 junior college students
could be handled easily at the
teachers college, which is ex-
periencing a decline in daytime
enrollments.
8. All students at the college
would be charged a tuition fee
of about 500 per year. Tuition
is not required currently for
District residents.
If the idea is approved the
Commissioners will send to
Congress legislation to give the
school board authority to set
up the junior college and estab-
lish tuition rates.

Residents Hit
Army Widow
Home Plun

A proposal to build a home for
widows Of Army officers on Me-
braska avenue today ran into
some citizen opposition.
About 200 residents turned
out for the hearing before the
District Board of Zoning ap-
peals.
The sponsors of the home,
the Army Distaff Foundation,
are asking for permission to
build a 4l4-unit residence on q
15-acre tract in the $500 block
of Nebraska avenue NV. To-
days hearing was on a request
for a coming variance.
Retired Army general, John
E. Dahlquist, representing the
foundation. said that special
pains had been taken in the
planning to see that there
would be no adverse impact on
surrounding property.
Proposal Defended
In fact, Gen. Dahlquist So.
the proposed home would
stabilize" the area.
Sponsors of the foundation,
which plans to offer a residence
for widows and other female
relatives of deceased Army of.
flcers, said there is no inten.
ton to expand the proposed
structure at a later date.
Gen. Dahlquist said that
Mrs. Eisenhower is honorary
chairman of the foundations

Committee. -
Fear of Failure
Attorney F. Joseph Donohue,
representing residents opposed
to the project. sharply ques-
toned the foundations Spon-
sors as to details on financing
prospects. When he was told
that some of this information
is not yet available because the
project still is in the planning
stages, Mr.. Donohue told the
board:
We're considering an appli-
cation for a concept >. not for
a foundation" .f
In his questioning, Mr.. Dono-
hue, a former District Commits
sioner, took the line that the
financing might fall through
and that the residents had no
real assurance that the pro-
posed building would not be ex.
panded at some future time.
