IN THE CASE of transit,
for example, it is quite OBJ
viouS that the more there is
the better it's advocates be-
lieve 1t will serve the public.
So they want a lot of it.
Likewise, the highway sup
porters know that if an ex-
tensive transit system is
built, there'll be less need for
an expreSSway network with
in the city. and for feeder
routes to serve it. So they
don't want much transit,
Since both sides have
strong convictions, an ideo-
logical compromise will have
to be dictated by the public.
With the fiction Of "bal-
anced transportation" out
the window, the public's job
will be Simplified. Under
standing that a fair compro-
mise is the best that can be
achieved, it may be easier to
discover the true purposes of
the two sides, to understand
the deeper issues of the bat
tie, and to proceed with set
ting the matter quickly.
Avoidance of further hy-
pocrisy over balancing"
transportation might also
help to cool the white-hot
passions generated by this
controversy. Which, in turn,
might save our traditional
two-party political system.
Who would want to exchange

lican for a chance to become

District May Hike
Permits Charges
Present Fees
Fail to Cover
City Expenses
BY CHARLES d. PIERCE
Star staff Writer

Stiff increases in many Of
the Districts more than 1000
building and other permit and
certificate fees will be recon-
mended to the District Com
missioners soon.
This was disclosed yesterday
by j. j. Ilgenfritz, director of
the Department of Licenses
and Inspection.
Mr.. ngenfritz explained that
under laws passed by Congress,
and also by District regula-
tons, these fees must be high
enough to meet inspection and
administration costs.
However, ne said, a study
has shown that the revenue
from building permits, for ex-
ample, is a per cent lower
than District costs involving
issuing and regulating these
permits.
Sliding Scale Fees
Building permits are re-
quired for construction of new
buildings ard for any altera-
tons or repairs to existing
structures. Fees are on a slid
ing scale depending on the size
of the building or nature of
the alteration.
Nearly half Of the approx
mately 81 million a year the
District gets in revenue from
permits and certificates comes
from building permits.
Mr.. Ilgenfritz said the study
has also shown that the pres
ent $40 certificate of occu-
pancy fee is 216 per cent short
of meeting costs.
A certificate OF occupancy
is required for every new
building as proof that it COM
plies with coming and other
District requirements. A new
certificate also must be OBJ
tanned whenever the use of the
building is changed or it is
taken over by a new owner.
Mr.. Ilgenfritz said the pro-
posed changes will be the first
general revision recommended
{ since 1856.
Up to Commission
No act of Congress would be
4 required since the Commits
:. sioners have authority to set
J, fee rates, Mr.. Ilgenfritz said.
!, Walter N. Tobriner, presi-
4 dent of the District Board Of
Commissioners, said that gen.
r orally it will be his position
} that, Service functions should
= pay for themselves"
The new fees probably would
} go into effect at the beginning
, of the next fiscal year, July /.
Rate boosts will be required to
help pay for the new salary
. raises for District inspectors
and other increases in the cost
of District Government.
The fees are supposed to pay
not only for services by the De-
Ipartment of Licenses and In
spections but for any other
inspections by police, firemen
or health officials.
To Study Costs
A key factor in setting the
new rates will be the method
used in determining what costs
should be charged for each
service.
| Mr.. ngenfritZ said his office
has proposed that District fees
should be geared to those. in
suburbs, but he said that the
Department of General Admins
istration had decided that the
District must comply with ex-
iSting law tying fees to costs.
! The District official said that
some of the rates may be high
er than those charged in sub
urbS.

"I think it will be a very ex-
citing time" said Charles H
Mayer, chairman of the Dis
trict's Board of Elections, "the
first time in the memory OF
any living person that we will
have had a chance to vote for
President"
1.-TWO years from now, this
will be a different CITY," Joseph
Rauh, jr., vice chairman of the
Democratic Central Committee,
predicted, with everybody not
only excited, but getting ready
to vote"
Republican Chairman Car
Shipley said that right after
Tuesdays election, local Re-
publicans will move forward
on a gigantic task Of getting
in touch with every potentia
voter in the city.
Prepares for 250,000
Preparing for an estimated
$4,000 voters in 1864, the cleo
tons board has put in budget
request for 1852 TAO to conduct
the November election and the
primary the previous May.
Preliminary planning calls
for a central registration point
at the District Building, with
branch registration to be con-
Quoted several week ends ir
each of the voting precincts
now numbering SO. This de.
pnds, however, on obtaining the
necessary funds, Mr.. Mayer
said.
The law calls for an entirel!
new registration for each cleo,
ton. That means that resident
who voted in the primaries il
1856 and 1860 will have t,
register again.
Sometime toward the end Q
1868, Mr.. Mayer added, a
} office will be set up in the Dis
trict Building. 1t will be ope
; daily, and voters can stal

January 2, 1864.
Confusion Arose
1t is hoped that branch reg
! istration will be greatly ex
panded over that in the pre-
vious primary elections here
when only about Is center
were open on two week ends
Confusion arose then whel
people registered in one plac
and voted in another.
Proposed branches will in

brarieS and recreation centerS
The number of precincts ant
boundaries under the presen
setup may be changed if i
appears there will be too heav!
a concentration in any ont
spot, Mr.. Mayer said.
Another hope for 1854 is tt
use all paid workers, rather
than volunteers, for registra.
ton, election day duty anC
counting.
Starting in December, 1868
there will be a full time stat.
of about five. A large temporary
staff would be hired for a few
days for registration, voting anc
counting under the present
plans. The May primary is ex-
pected to draw about 100000
voters.

The Bottle
Over BuIunce
By ROBERT ]. LEWIS

A NEW POLITICAL set-up
4 = could be ahead for the
Washington area now that
all these new passions have
been generated over high
ways and rapid transit.
Instead of Republicans,
Democrats and Independents,
it looks as if a completely
new alignment may be about
to shape up.
The two main parties Of
the future, indeed, may turn
out to be the Pro-Highway
Party and the Pro-Transit
Party. A third force conceiv-
ably could appear as the Bal
anced Transportation Party,
which would bear close
watching.
If any realignment Of this
kind takes place, there's GER
tain to be an initial period in
which the Pro-Highway and
PrO-TranSit Parties could
lead the field.
But it seems inevitable, on
the basis Of experience so far,
that further swift changes
may come shortly, afterward
that may lead to destruction
OF the two-party system alto
gether.
If this should happen, as
now appears possible, the
B alanced Transportation
Party may run the whole po-
litical show, with the real
campaigns being waged by
right and left wings within
the party itself.
The right wings position
quite possibly could be
summed up in some such
slogan as, can All-Highway
Plan Gives a Better Balance"
The left group, likewise,
could have an equally simple
appeal, with an opposite goal,
such as, Transit Balances
Ira sportatio ion Without
Highways At ALL"

TO THOSE WHO have been
following the transit and
highways battle over the last
couple of years, it is clear
that both sides have claimed
only the most reasonable of
motives. Both have been
fighting, they have said, for
a system of balanced trans
portation."
Until last week, the pro-
transit forces hadn't had a
chance to spell out in detail
what they considered to be
a proper balance.
Thursdays report of the
National Capital Transpor-
tation Agency to President
Kennedy now has made plain
what many persons suspected
before: There is no such
thing as BALANCED Transport
tation," even in theory.
The phrase, itself, has
turned out to be meaningless.
For the experts on both sides
who should know what
balanced transportation" is,
If anyone does-are in COM
plete disagreement.
Yet each side is still con-
tending that only it's own
scheme represents the means
of achieving a balance"
Instead of representing a
true position, advocacy of
"b alance d transportation"
has come to represent some
thing else altogether.
Instead of Illuminating the
Issues of highways versus
transit, it has begun to be-
cloud them. Instead of max
ing clear that an theological
chaSm separates the differing
schemes, it cloakS both with
a spirit Of sweet reasonable
ness which neither seems to
possess, and thus hides what
must be the true goals of
both sides.
