BAZELON, Chief Judge
(concurring).
I concur in Judge FAHY’S opinion and would only emphasize that equal protection requires a statutory classification to be reasonably related to a “proper governmental objective,” Bolling v. Sharpe, 347 U.S. 497, 74 S.Ct. 693, 98 L.Ed. 884 (1954), and that to deter indigents from settling in the District of Columbia is not such an objective, Edwards v. People of State of California, 314 U.S. 160, 62 S.Ct. 164, 86 L.Ed. 119 (1941).
