Crucial Year
In Pollution
Funds Seen

A congressional comnittee
has been told that the d rict
cannot keep up with a six ear
Federal timetable for Pot nae
River pollution abatement with
the city's current fund sources.
A crucial point will be reach
ed in the fiscal year beginning
July /, 1861, officials told the
House District Appropriations
Subcommittee.
David v. Aud, director Of
the Department of Sanitary
E gineering, said there is
enough money in his proposed
budget to keep pace with the
schedule during the next fiscal
year. But then additional funds
must be found or the city will
fall behind, he testified.
Nearly $l1 million is ear
marked for major and miscel-
laneous construction work in
the drive to clean up the Poto-
mac. But, Mr.. Auld said at the
hearing, $2.1 million of this
amount must come from fiscal
1862 revenues. Also included is
the final 100000 of the $5
million Government borrowing
limit authorized by Congress in
1854.
During his testimony, released
today, Mr. Auld noted that
present water and sewer rates
might have to be raised.
The United States Public
Health Service has set the 1865
deadline for substantial i'm
provements to the quality Of
the water.

Skyrocketing
Playground
Costs Hit

The House District Appro-
priations Subcommittee, not
noted for a genial attitude to
the Districts increased SPEND
ing requests, has put city off,
cials through a verbal wringer
with this question:
Why has the estimated cost
Of a Recreation Department
project risen in three years
from S45,OOO to $3.50, 600?
The project is the Hardy
Playground at FoXhall road and
Q street NV. Three years ago,
the department had estimated
that the cost for land and de-
velopment would total S45. 900.
But at the closed budget ses-
sion, made public today, the
committee learned that $685.
600 has been spent on the
playground and that the de-
partment now wants $4,000
more to complete the work
with outdoor recreational IA
cilitieS.
That is not playing cricket
with the committee" Chair
man Rabaut said, and added:
What are we doing here?
Just sitting here in a guessing
game?"
Early in the exchange. Rec
reation Supt. Milo F. Christian
sen said that the more than
tripled cost estimate may
seem out of line somewhat. "
Later, he told the committee:
Il would say it is poor
estimating to start with. and
I think that is the frank and
honest answer to it,"
The session ended with COM
mittee members hammering
away at the departments pro-
posal to spend $275, 900 for a
4-acre playground site at Emer-
son and Thirteenth streets NE.
Il wish I owned the land and
I could sell it to you for $275,-
000," Mr.. Rabaut said, and
then demanded the assessed
value of the property.
The answer, supplied later,
was $4,000. Under the city's
assessment practices, this would
come to a market value of about
SCI 300.

Cites Achievements
DR.. Hansen based his case
for favorable consideration by
Mr.. Rabaut's committee on
the growing effectiveness of
the educational program in
this school system" He cited
steadily rising achievement
scores despite a shifting school
enrolment which might nor
mally lead to a lower achieve
ment level.
He said the track" program
has proved a success. with a
er-than-normal rate of
growth resulting in all four
ability groupings at the high
school level.
Other highlights of the hear
ing included:
Testimony from DR.. Hansen
that 434 elementary classes in
the District have more than 35
pupils, despite the official pupil
teacher ratio Of 32-to-1: an
assurance from Commissioner
Robert E. Mclaughlin that the
District is prepared to recon-
mend an increase Of $500. 900 in
the elementary free lunch pro-
gram to feed an additional 1900
youngsters; testimony from

perintendent for buildings and
grounds, that there is a back
log of 1000 repair jobs in the
schools, most Of which involve

hinted this system inflated
values of Federal buildings.
They were especially sensi-
tive to the effects of reaSSeSs-
mentS on the Federal payment
because the whole reassessment
program was Mr.. Rabaut'S
brainchild. He found out sew
eral years ago the District was
losing hundreds of thousands
of dollars because of outdated
assessments and ordered re-
forms.
AS for the Commissioners
claim that the reforms required
such a sharp rise in Federal
assessments, Mr.. Rabaut said.
1T comes as shock, 81 to 8 per

He went into the problem in

On Prenatal
Team Failure

A House Appropriations sub
committee raped the District
Health Department for not US
ing $50,000 to set up a revolv-
ing prenatal medical team re-
garded as critical last year.
This is just neglect of some
thing that should be done, "
Chairman Rabaut charged, ac-

ing medical team for prenatal
care was very urgent, espe-
cially since the infant mortality
rate in the District was about

is something in the nature of
a crisis that does not get at
tention for almost a whole year.
You could blow your top" He
noted that Congress gave the
Health Department the money
even though it had not been
requested.
DR.. Finucane, who said the
need is still critical, added that
space must be obtained in the
areas of the city where the
greatest need is for the teams to
work in. Delays in the construc-
ton Of public housing develop
ments have been the biggest
problem. he said.

the budget would be un-

Citizen opposition to taxes

Taxes outlined by Commits
sioners to the House commit
tee we're:
Reduction Of the taxable in
come floor from $4,000 to
$4,000; extension of the 2 per
cent sales tax to local telephone

and increases of the cigarette
tax from 2 to 3 cents a pack,
the wholesale liquor tax from
$1.25 to $3.50 a gallon and the
wholesale beer tax from $1.50

The Commissioners intent
was to increase the real estate
tax rate from $3.50 to $3.50 per

Later, committee members

sharply about their failure to
serve all school children

eTS mas QOuDleQ since 1900
rising from 627 to 1850.
The Michigan Democrat said
that last year his committee
expressed its concern about
the growing number of tenn
porary teachers and suggested
that this area should receive
attention" Since then. how
ever. the number has risen from
1902 to 1880.
Instead of this having very
much attention, it is getting
bigger all the time" Mr.. Rabaut
told Supt. Carl F. Hansen. He
added: II don't know what we
are going to do about it,"
The legislator suggested the
increase was largely due to the
hiring of more teachers to re-
duce the pupil-teacher ratio
in elementary schools.
hansen DEFENDS increase
School officials testified for
one-and-a-half days before Mr..
Rabaut's committee last month
on the proposed 1854 million
school budget.
DR.. Hansen stoutly defended
the increase in temporary
teachers. Many are just as
competent as permanent ones,
he said. The only alternatives
to increasing their number
would be to have overcrowded
clasSroomS or to lower stand
ards for permanent appoint
ment, he said.
The shortage of qualified
personnel here, he said, is a
reflection of the national
teacher shortage. He also OBJ
served that school officials keep
