DONOVAN URGES
BIGGER LUMP SUM
Jells Citizens Fiscal Rela
tions of D. C. and U. S.
. Should Be Equitable.
The need for Increasing the Fed
eral contribution toward the main
tenance of the District was stressed
last night by Maj. Daniel J. Donovan,
District auditor, in an address before
the Takoma Park Citizens’ Associa
tion.
Maj. Donovan said fiscal relations
should be settled in an equitable
manner between the Federal Govern
ment and the District for all times.
One of the problems now confronting
the Commissioners, he said, was the
preparation of the 1937 budget, which
will be started about July 1. He said
the operating expenses of the District
had increased 200 per cent in the last
15 years and the surplus of several
million dollars, which existed a few
years ago, has all been expended.
Unlike any other city, he said, the
District cannot borrow money or
provide bond issues. This city is oper
ated on a pay-as-you-go basis and for
this reason is handicapped in borrow
ing funds.
Demands Increasing.
The demand is constantly increasing
for schools, hospitals, libraries and
public welfare which, the speaker said,
naturally increased the operating ex
penses annually. The $1.50 tax rate,
he felt, was a fair and reasonable tax
rate and should not be increased un
less it became absolutely necessary.
The Commissioners hope to retain
this rate and have under consideration
the raising of additional funds through
sources not yet divulged, he said.
He called attention to the fact that
In 1932 no funds were expended by
the District for relief, but for the past
two years $10,000,000 annually had
been spent for emergency relief, $2,
000.000 of which came out of tax
payers’ funds.
The association voted to join the
Chillum Heights Citizens’ Association
In a request to the Commissioners that
the new bridge over the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad at New Hampshire ave
nue extended and the District line be
named for Charles A. Langley, for
many years president of the Chillum
Heights Association.
Dr. Guy Clinton, chairman of the
Police and Fire Committee, announced
that Traffic Director Van Duzer had
eliminated all parking around the
triangle at Piney Branch road and
Cedar street, in front of the Takoma
Public School.
In the absence of Mrs. Mary Lamond
White, who was out of the city. Dr. C.
C. Galloway presided.

Setting the Scene
For Summer Out-of-doors
T . _, jmh ■iwri- .
—a pleasant thing to do with all these
bright new pieces to help you. From
these many styles and designs you
can choose a set to meet your indi
vidual ideas and needs.
White furniture is particularly smart
and cool against nature’s background.
Colors are gayer than ever.
Iron furniture, painted white or light
colors in period styles, is receiving
most attention for formal groups.
Rattan for beach and garden is light
and easy to move about. Gliders, me
chanically and artistically better, with
controlled action, are sturdy and com
fortable. Covers in leatherettes and
water-repellent fabrics have bolder
patterns—stripes, diagonals, plaids
and simplified floral designs. Colors
are strong and are used alone or in
combination with lots of white or con
trasting tones.
You will find these new trends, indi
vidually grouped, in our Summer Fur
niture Section, Sixth Floor.
