Funds Boost
Urged forD.C.
SnoWRemoVaI.
S475,0O0 Suggested
BY Budget Office
For Coming Year

WaShington'S snow removal
funds will be nearly doubled if
the District Commissioners ap-
prove budget office recon-
mendations for the next fiscal
year.
The recommended amount
would boost spending for sand,
snow melting chemicals and
replacement of snow removal
equipment to $475, 900 compared
to ,$260,000 that has been al
lowed for the current fiscal
year.
However, budget officials
point out. under the present
revenue picture, funds still will
be insufficient for replacement
of equipment as fast as the
machines wear out. Also, not
enough money is in sight for
purchase of needed new equip
ment.
Without providing the in
creased funds, the budget max
ers said, the district will not be
able to stockpile an adequate
amount of sand and chemicals
before the first serious snow
fall in the winter of 1962-1963.
S17,S56,714 Budget
Not enough funds are in sight
for SOS, 900 worth of new equip
ment which department heads
had requested.
The snow fighting prospects
were detailed in the Budget
office proposals for an operat-
ing budget of $17,856,714 for
the Department of Sanitary
Engineering. an increase of
about 100000 above the cur
rent fiscal year figure.
Lighting Curbed
The Districts tight revenue
situation will result in a slow
down in the city's plans for
additional street lighting, ac-
cording to budget officials.
In recommending a total OPP
Grating budget of $9,477.357 for
the Department of Highways
and Traffic, the city's budget
makers said there will not be
enough funds under present
revenue prospects to pay for the
electricity needed for new street
lights.
Because of the money short |
age, the budget report said, the |
city will be prevented from in
stalling any new lights in fiscal
1868 or upgrading existing |
lights. Only half the number of
new lights that have been plan
ned for installation in the cur
rent fiscal year will be put up,
the report said, if no additional
money comes in.
Records to Be Released
Funds are being sought to-
send some 100000 traffic rec
ords of District drivers during
the next fiscal year, to give auto
insurance companies informa-
ton on local insurance appli-
cantS.
The purpose Of the informa-
ton is to provide data for the
insurance companies which
have started a merit rate Sys-
TEN in determining premiums
to be charged individual ap-
plicants.
The extra work load will re-
quire two new positions within
the Department of Motor We
hicles. Budget officials recon-
mend the approval of the posi-
tons along with a total operat-

Cash Donations Will Help Finance Alaska at C21

JUNEAU 0 Cash donations amounting to some $6,000 have been received by the state to help finance an Alaska exhibit at Seat tle's Century 2l Exposition next year, Director Morris Ford of the Division of Tourisrn said Tuesday.
 Ford said pledges for an addi- tional $7.000 in cash donations have also been received, although replies to mailed appeal to every business firm in Alaska have not started to come in in volume as yet.
 In addition to cash donations and pledges of cash, Ford said, the state has received pledges of various kinds of services, which he said were hard to convert into dollar and cent values.
 One firm, for instance, offered to transport all of the materials from Alaska necessary for the C21 exhibit to the exhibit door, free of charge.
 Another firm offered 500 hours of labor, without cost to the state. Additional offers were made for free transportation and free ma- terials for the states display.
 The National Bank of Com merce, Seattle, will provide free space for Alaska in building the bank is constructing on the C21 grounds.
 The 1862 Legislature will be asked to appropriate the differ ence between donations received by the state for the display and the estimated $I75, ,O0O it will cost to equip and staff the exhibit. Ford said letters seeking dona- tions will be sent to every busi- ness in the State of Alaska. Some of the appeals have already been mailed.
 "We are not concerned about the amounts the businessmen of Alaska contribute, Ford said, "but we would like to see as wide a representation as possible. "Alaska's exhibit will definitely mean more to our businessmen if they have a share in it.'' Ford emphasized that donations from individuals would be well come.

Not that the 25-year-old Washington

an ability to project herself into the moods

has to do repeatedly by popular demand.

different each time you sing it" she states
with conviction. Often, she says, she makes up
"a little story" to serve as her own imagined

sizes it up in these terms:
Its all in learning how to find the right

Miss Mitchell has been taking acting les

Most directors are not
qualified to conduct a thorough
audit" Mr.. Pike continued.
While both fidelity insurance
and deposit insurance are Of
value, neither one will prevent
defalcation any more than fire
insurance will prevent a fire.
THE soundest thing upon
which directors and manage
ment can rely upon is an ade-
quate internal auditing pro-
gram whereby an individual
within the bank is delegated
this responsibility and can
make his reports directly to the
board of directors" he said.
More and more certified
public accountants are becom-
ing skilled in conducting audits
OF commercial banks. If the
board feels the bank is not of
sufficient size to have an ade-
quate internal auditing pro-
gram, then provision should be
made for an external program.
When selecting the person
within the bank as either a
full-time auditor or a control
do not overlook women
employees. Women are doing
an excellent job of auditing
and control in many of our

its major objective of giving
consumers full disclosure of
finance charges.
In testimony before a sub
committee of the Senate Bank

ABA President Carl A. Bimson
said:
Although. the American
Bankers Association has long
supported the concept of full
and honest disclosure of the
dollar cost of finance charges
to borrowers, we take this OPP

on the many serious problems
which the simple annual rate
requirement of the bill raises in
bank credit transactions, as
well as certain other problems
relating to the Interpretation
and enforcement Of the bill.
1T is the firm belief of this
association that to alter tradi-
tional methods of presenting
finance charges would require
a substantial re-education both
of the consumer and industry
in general. The conversion of
finance charges to a simple an
nual rate would presumably
require the use Of mathematical
tables or formulas which, re-
gardless of their accuracy,
would be relatively complex to

Mr.. Bimson said that the

Internal ADULTS Called
EmbezzIement Cure

The Nationwide rise in bank
embezzlements and defalcations
is being studied closely by
bankers and one has come up
with a solution-adequate in
ternal auditing.
Too many bank boards OF
directors are relying on bank
examiners reports orcurSory ex-
aminationS of their own board
members to check conditions
in their institutions, warned
Winslow E. Pike. president of
the National Association of
Bank Auditors and Controllers,
in a recent address, copies of
which are being distributed to
member banks.
On the basis of figures from
the Federal Bureau of Investi-
cation, an average of one out
of every eight banks in the
Nation will report a bank fraud
this year, Mr.. Pike declared.
For the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1860, a total of 1,771
individual cases of bank fraud
involved STA million or an
average defalcation of $4,000.
Banks with assets of less than
$40 million are in the area of
greatest danger because many
of them have not set up ade-
quate internal auditing pro-
grams, Mr.. Pike said.
