seeking to get road projects

for interstate aid. This COM

the Federal Government II
being asked to pay 80 per cent
Of the cost of an additional
$125 million in road construc-
ton.
Whether the additional Fed
eral contribution is granted il
a question awaiting congress
sional action early next year
on the entire interstate high
way system, due to be COM
pleted by 1875.
If the increase is granted the
District. it will result in a
speedup in spending and the
city will have to find more
matching funds more quickly
Should the city fail to get the
matching funds, it could mean
loss of the 80 per cent Federal
gift.
Should Federal aid be in
creased next year. the District
highway program will face a
shortage Of So million in fiscal
1864 instead Of the 81 million
deficit which looms under the
current program. Mr.. Aitker
said. The probable increase ir
Federal aid also makes the
$22.6 million deficit figure q
conservative one for the entire
six-year program.
Estimates Listed
Estimated funds available fol-
the six-year program, including
the balance of the Federal loan
and current Federal aid ap-
portionments, amount to $685.
million. The estimated funds
required for the six-year pro-
gram comes to $228.9 million
including highway department
operating expenses and a CAPT.
tai outlay of $17l million.
Another development in the
Districts highway financing
picture was brought out in a
letter to the District Commits
sioners from an official of the
General Accounting Office. II
revealed that a GAO audit III
dicates the city has failed tc
claim hundreds of thousands OF
dollars in Federal matching
funds for which it was eligible.
The audit, according to IN.
formed sources, is critical of
the Districts accounting pro-
cedures.
A. T. Samuelson, director o1
the Civil Accounting and Au.
diting Division of the GAO,
said in the letter that highway
planners should have beer
scheduling only enough work
each year to cover the Districts
full allotment in Federal
matching funds.
This way, he pointed out
the city would get maximum
Federal dollar benefits for each
of the District dollars spent
and revenue saved could now
be used for more road con-
struction under the matching
fund program.

Fund Pinch Threatens
City Highway Program
Lack Of Matching Money May
Force Drastic Showdown
BY GILBERT GIMBLE
Star 6ta6 Writer

District highway officials fea,
that an imminent shortage OF
matching funds will drastically
slow down the city's road build
ing program.
Harold L. Aitken, the Dis
trict's highway director, has
told Engineer Commissioner
Frederick J. Clarke that a high
way fund deficit will hit the
road construction program by
fiscal 1864.
If additional funds are not
found somehow, Mr.. Aitker
warned yesterday, the highway
program will have to be sharp
ly reduced. Under the law, he
said, the city cannot proceed
with any road building fol
which funds are not available
Facing Delays
He said some road projects
planned in the six-year public
works program will have to be
delayed unless the funds are
found.
At the current planned rate
of construction, Mr.. Aitken told
the Engineer Commissioner
there would be a deficit of $22.f
million by the end of fiscal 1867
This, the highway director
pointed out, is an extremely
conservative estimate.
Commissioner Clarke sug-
gested that District highway
and budget officials explore the
possibility of seeking additional
loans from the Federal Gov
.ernment so that the needed
matching funds viii be avail
able.
However, Col. Clarke said. he
has been advised by top aides
to take a wait and see" ap-
.proach before seeking addi-
tional borrowing authority from
Congress.
THE reason the crisis looms
in the next few years is that
District highway officials fig
ure they will be using up all OF
q $50 million loan authority
Congress has granted to help
the city pay its share Of road
construction.
S43.3 Million Used
So far about $43.3 million
Of the fund has been depleted
The rest Of the sum Is due to
be used by fiscal 1864.
Federal aid is the backbone
to the Districts financial set
UP for highway construction
On interstate road projects
Federal aid covers 80 per cent
OF the cost and the District
contributes the remaining 10
per cent. On most major local
road projects, Federal aid
covers so per cent Of the cost
and the District makes up
the remaining half.
The Districts inability to
show up with the money to
pay its contributions will throw
the roadblock in the construc-
ton timetable.
Highway planners see hscal
years 1862 and 1868 clear o1
money problems as long as
the current spending rate i
maintained.
One reason is that the 1867
budget reflects curtailment ir
the Federal interstate aid pro-
gram due to a shortage in the
highway trust fund. Another
reason is that the remaining
$6.7 million in the District.
highway loan fund will be
available in the early part Of
the Six-year program.
May Take Jump
But there is a good posi-.
bility," Mr.. Aitken said, thai
the rate of highway construc.
ton in the District will jump
once Congress re-examine!
