TAXES
Tough Situotion,'
District Warned

The current Federal payment
is $25 million.
Failure of Congress to in
crease this payment by $11 mill
lion to $50 million, to balance
in part the $20.8 million in in
creased taxes, would force city
officials to clut back construc-
ton of needed claSsrooms. well
fare facilities and probably
eliminate an increase in police
manpower.
The budget for the year be-
ginning July / asks for $252.4
million in general fund spend
ing. Revenue in sight, without
the new program, totals $173.8
million. A $36 million Federal
payment, a SIC million Federal
loan and $20.8 million in new
taxes would increase revenue by
$72.8 million to within $500, 900
of budget demands.
More Spending Possible
The picture could be darker,
however. Possible spending in
creases beyond the budget carry
a price tag of SAL million an
nually.
They include measures pend
ing before Congress now to add
1877 officers to the police force
to set strength at 5000. to re-
duce the firemen's work week
and to subsidize D. C.. Transit
System for taking children to
and from school.
Also, the new Federal law to
aid dependent children of job
less but employable parents will
draw $1.4 million in District
funds if Commissioners decide
to participate.

GAO Rops Army
For Golf Course
At Edgewood
BY the Associated Press

Money spent for a proposed
golf course and for renovating
a generals house at the Army
Chemical Center. Edgewood,
Md, is criticized in a General
Accounting Office report.
The GAO report to Congress
said the Army spent $4,000 in
violation Of law toward build
ing a nine-hole golf course.
The GAO also found that the
cost Of renovating the house
occupied by the commanding
general was more than SCI 900
as compared to the statutory
limitation of $4,000 for the
construction of a house for an
officer Of that rank.
Other homes were renovated
at costs ranging from $17,331
to $25,925.
The Army contended that the
congressional limitation on new
houses has no application to
that work, although the ex-
penditureS involved "are a mat
ter Of Judgment and as such
are always subject to question. -
The Army said the homes
were at least 35 years old and
needed extensive repairs be-
cause of dry rot and termites.
The golf course project was
terminated in october, 1860,
after the $4,000 had been spent
from operation and mainte-
nance funds, the report said.
