Ohio River Hits 80 Feet, 28
Feet Above Flood
Stage.
9f the Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, January 26—Cin
cinnatian* trudged up and down the
city’s seven hills today, carrying cans,
Jugs, bottles—anything In which a
little of the city’s vanishing supply
of drinking water could be gotten to
their homes.
While the crunching Ohio reached
and held to an apparent peak in its
resistless charge down the valley,
“Disaster Dictator" C. A. Dykstra,
the city manager, reduced the water
ration to one hour, and then, It was
available only in the lower sections.
Half the city’s 65,000 homeless
crowded with remarkable cheerful
ness into schools, churches and pub
lic buildings.
Family groups remained intact, ex
cept that overnight sleeping arrange
ments placed fathers and mothers in
ceparate dormitories.
Red Cross Again Heroine.
The Red Cross was the heroine
again. The workers of that organi
sation took complete charge of the
city'* dispossessed and assisted State
sanitary authorities in the adminis
tration of serums to prevent typhoid,
•mall pox and diphtheria.
The water supply became "unsafe,”
yesterday, not through flood waters
•eeping into the mains, but because
alternately filling and emptying the
conduits had stirred up wastes ani
•ediments that permeated the supply.
The remaining supply of water was
measured at 80,000,000 gallons, as
against a normal consumption of
60,000,000 to 60,000,000.
Two of the four reservoirs were dry.
The Eden Park reservoir, which drop
ped something less than a foot a day,
held 55,000,000 gallons. The Mount
Airy reservoir was reduced to 25,000
gallons.
Fire Extinguished.
The fire which devastated the al
ready flooded Mill Creek section on
Sunday was out.
Meteorologist W. C. Devereaux said
he believed the crest had been reached
when the yellow flood waters rose to
the unprecedented height of 80 feet
at 1 a.m. This was 28 feet above flood
stage and nearly 10 feet above the
previous record.
The river at 7 a m. still stood at 80
feet after several dips to 79.7 feet.
“The fall will be so slow,” Devereaux
said, as he observed no rain in sight,
“that we will need a magnifying glass
to see it for a day or so.”
“It will take 12 days to get to 60
feet, 20 feet below the crest, and we
cannot expect resumption of anything
like normal activity in Cincinnati until
the river reaches that point,” he added.
Passenger Vehicles Banned.
Adding to curtailment of freedom
In the flood-ruled city was an order
today from Safety Director John J.
Ames that all passenger vehicles ex
cept those on official relief business
would be ruled off downtown streets
effective tomorrow.
“We expect to have a unified bus
•ystem In operation tomorrow,” Ames
announced. "After these services be
gin, no passenger vehicles except those
carrying official emergency stickers will
be allowed to use the streets.”
At least eight were dead here. The
Red Cross estimated 103,000 Ohioans
were homeless. Of Greater Cincin
nati’s 750,000 Inhabitants, 60,000 were
desolate. Thirty thousand were housed
In 32 refuges, cared for by the Red
Cross.
Meteorologist Devereaux raised his
damage estimate to between *10,000,
000 and <15,000,000 here,

j---ARTICLE 2-1
The New Fiscal Issue
Attempt to Measure "Interdepartmental” Services
Between U. S. and D. C. Produces Inequities
and Indicates Illogical Conception of the Na
ture of the Capital City.
This is the second of a series of editorial articles discussing
parts of the fiscal relations issue suggested by the recent report
of the so-called Jacobs Committee. Yesterday’s article dealt with
some of the fundamental weaknesses of the Jacobs’ Committee
plan to measure intergovernmental services between the District
and the National Government. Today’s article points to some
of the weaknesses revealed in the actual attempt to measure
these services as the basis for the Federal obligation.
THE Jacobs report starts out con
fidently to base the Federal
obligation toward National
Capital maintenance on an ac
tual measurement of "interdepart
mental” services. But the report soon
leads into a bewildering maze from
which graceful withdrawal is difficult.
In this maze, carefully avoided by fis
cal investigators of the past, it leaves
the puzzled reader and the unhappy
Government* officials who, under the
three-point fiscal formula would be
charged with measuring and paying
for the services and alleged services.
The committee’s attempt to measure
interdepartmental services exchanged
between the National Government
and its administrative agency—the
municipal government—for governing
the District, or between the national
Government and the unrepresented
tax-paying residents of the District of
Columbia, apparently resulted from a
fundamental misconception of the na
ture of the fiscal relations issue.
The investigators seemed to believe
that the root of the interminaole con
troversy over fiscal relations would be
found in the dissatisfaction by parties
to the controversy over the exchange
of uncompensated services. Remove
this source of friction, it was ap
parently believed, put everything on
a paying basis, and a long step would
have been taken toward peace on the
fiscal relations front.
Added Sources of Friction.
But as far as known there has been
little serious dispute in the past over
the specific nature or cost of services
rendered for or by the national Gov
ernment. If there has been, the fiscal
report has succeeded merely in adding
to it: has. in fact, injected new and
peculiarly vexing issues where none
existed before.
The report declares that the Fed
eral Government is now performing 38
special services for the District Gov
ernment while the District Govern
ment is performing 30 special services
for the Federal Government. But a
close examination reveals that of the
39 services now represented as being
performed by the Federal Government
for the District Government, about 18
of them,, or nearly half, are already
being paid for on a contractual basis
or for one reason or another are not
susceptible of measurement for actual
compensation.
Of the 30 special services repre
sented as rendered for the Federal
Government by the District Govern
ment, about 10 of them, or a third,
are already paid for or are impractical
or too inconsequential to measure. In
cluded among the 20 for which the
District should be reimbursed, if and
when Congress chooses to do it, are
tuition for non-resident pupils and a
charge on non-residents for use of Dis
trict library facilities.
There is also a third list of services
which are suggested for possible meas
urement but the committee plainly
gave up the task and did not Include
them except for general discussion.
Some of these, as the report suggests,
"led into the realm of imponderables.’’
Examples of “Service*” to D. C.
While It is impractical to discuss
each of the items in detail, discussion
of a few of them is sufficient to show
the inherent weaknesses of the com
mittee's plan of approach. Some of
them lead not only into the realm of
imponderables but into new fields of
possible discord and confusion hither
to unexplored.
For example, the following proposed
charges against the District of Co
lumbia fall into the same general
category and might be discussed as
one:
1. Codifying and printing Dis
trict statutes, a service performed
by the House Committee on Re
vision of Laws. Use of the code
by Congress is In connection with
District matters and the entire cost
should, it is claimed, be paid for
from District appropriations.
2. Controlling audits and per
forming audits for the District by
the Controller General, to be paid
for by the District.
3. Review, control and compila
tion of the District budget by the
Budget Bureau, to be paid for by
the District.
4. Services of the Engineer Com
missioner and his three assistants,
salaries to be paid for by the peo
ple of the District.
Illogical Conception.
The proposal to charge the District
of Columbia for such services reflects
a curiously illogical conception of the
relationship between the National and
District Governments, in addition to
conveying a rather sardonic gibe at
the unrepresented taxpayers who live
here.
If it is logical to charge the people
of the District with the preparation of
the District Code, it is also logical to
charge them with the cost of prepar
ing the legislation, some of which
eventually becomes represented in the
code. If It Is logical to charge them
with printing the code, It Is logical
to charge them with the services of the
House Committee on Revision of
Laws by a partial charge for salaries
of the members; likewise, to charge
the District for the services of the
members of the House and Senate
District Committees, House and Sen
ate subcommittees on District appro
priations, House and Senate commit
tees to which are referred other Dis
trict legislation and for the services
of the Speaker and the Vice President,
as well as all members of Congress in
the enactment (or defeat) of Dis
trict legislation.
If the services for the District of the
Controller General, the Budget Bu
reau or the salaries of the Engineer
Commissioner and his Army assistants
are to be charged against the District,
then the services of the President of
the United States, his secretaries and
his staff, when such services apper
tain to the District, should also be
made the subject of a special charge.
To have attempted to measure or
to charge for such services, of course,
would have been to reduce the theory
to absurdity. But if one set of
charges is logical, then the other set
la also logical.
Fay National Taxes.
Of course, the people of the District
—through their national taxes—pay
their part for such services. In na
tional taxes they pay more than any
one of half of the States, more than
nine of the States combined, and in
per capita amount more than 32 of
the States (fiscal year 1936). To
charge the District for the print
ing of the District Code would
be analogous to levying a special
charge against the Department of
Agriculture (or the farmers of the
United States) for printing farm leg
islation. The whole theory is made
more fantastic by the fact that some
of the proposed charges against the
District—as for Budget Bureau con
trol of Its budget—are for services ac
cepted without recourse by the people
of the District, but accepted against
their will, as frequent expressions of
resentment against arbitrary control
of the Budget Bureau have made clear.
Two other charges, one of which is
already levied aga'nst the District,
suggest discussion because of the pe
culiar points involved.
1. Testing of street material for
the Highway Department of the
District government by the Bureau
of Standards.
2. Testing of miscellaneous ma
terial for the District government
by the Bureau of Standards.
The first charge is interesting be
cause of its history. The District
Highway Department formerly main
tained its own laboratory for the test
ing of highway material, at a cost of
about $11,000 a year. The House sub
committee on District appropriations
objected to it and ordered that hence
forth the District highway material be
tested by the Bureau of Standards and
the Highway Department laboratory
be abolished. The result has been to
increase the cost of such testing, which
in the past fiscal year amounted to
about $25,000—duly paid over to the
Bureau of Standards. By a legislative
whim cost of highway material has
been increased.
The testing of miscellaneous mate
rial for the District by the Bureau
of Standards is now performed free,
as the organic act of the bureau makes
its facilities available to the State gov
ernments and Federal agencies. The
District government is treated as a
State by the bureau. The proposal to
charge the District tor this type of
work is a proposed act of discrimina
tion for which there exists no equitable
basis.
T. W. A. Loan History,
An apparent misconception of the
history of the local P. W. A. loans to
the District is also suggested by the
report’s recommendation that the Dis
trict pay 4 per cent Interest on these
loans.
This payment of interest was waived
for the first three years in the legisla
tion authorizing the loans as partial
compensation for the unusually severe
terms of repayment. While in loan
and-grant allotments to other cities,
Congress permits the municipalities to
repay their loans in IS or more years,
and the P. W. A. takes their bonds,

exchanging them for ready cash at
R. F. C., Congress committed the Dis
trict to a $l,000,000-a-year repayment
and set aside 10 cents of the tax rate
as a special reimbursement fund. The
waiving of Interest was also in con
sideration of the fact that the United
States, as well as the District, was
benefiting from expenditure of the
loans. In the case of the sewage dis
posal plant, the District Is only an
incidental beneficiary, for while it
helps purify the Potomac below the
District, the Potomac above Washing
ton and Rock Creek, which runs
through Washington, are polluted by
sewage from Maryland and Virginia.
In estimating value of services ren
dered to the National Government by
the District the report Is more Inter
esting for what it fails to Include
than for what it actually does In
clude. It refers to the fact that main
tenance of the Police and Fire De
partments In Washington costs about
$425,000 annually above the compa
rable cost of other cities because of
the annual leave and sick leave pro
visions of the law, conforming to
Federal standards. It mentions that
if working hours for police and fire
men are brought into accord with
statutes governing working hours in
the Federal Government, about $1,
338,060 would be added to the cost of
fire and police departments. The re
port also shows that salary levels for
District employes—covered by the
Federal classifications act—are higher
than In other cities. But no allow
ance to the District Is recommended
on account of these extraordinary ex
penditures.
me report credits me uisinct wan
nothing for its Fire Department, from
which the National Government, of
course, receives a direct benefit through
the protection of its property. The
report allows no credit to the Dis
trict on account of the Police De
partment. except for occasional spe
cial details for the National Govern
ment. The report treats the National
Government as a municipal taxpayer
in charging it for the water it uses
and for the paving of streets on
which its property may abut, but
blandly ignores any charge against
the National Government for the vast
amount of its property which is ex
empt from taxation, or for the street
system laid out for a national capital,
not an average community, or for the
'act the National Government enjoys
exclusive power over the District.
But the report becomes most con
fused in dealing with possible charges
against the District or the United
States which somebody might sug
gest.
For instance, the estimates for use
of the Smithsonian museum facilities
by District residents (although these
facilities are available to every citizen)
run all the way from $20,000 to $100,
000 a year. For the maintenance of
a botanic garden, the District residents
might be charged anywhere from $5,
000 to $35,000, depending on who is
doing the estimating. These estimates
are put down in the report, although
not assessed against the District. But'
if the District residents are to be
charged, say, $20,000 a year for the
museum facilities at the National Mu
seum. with no like charges against
the people of Chevy Chase, Md., or
Arlington County, Va„ what is the es
timated charge for the facilities of
the G-men museum at the Depart
ment of Justice, or the medical mu
seum of the War Department? What
is the difference?
The cost of service rendered the
people of the District by the Library
of Congress is estimated at $55,000,
although "no reimbursement is rec
ommended." What is the cost of the
library services to the people of Ar
lington County, Va., or Chevy Chase,
Md., some of whom live about as near
the Library of Congress as some people
in the District of Columbia?
If the theory of interdepartmental
services is a logical or equitable basis
for measuring the national obligation
to the Capital, it could be applied in
its entirety, without exceptions. The
theory is illogical because It cannot
be logically applied. In addition to
the complications over actually esti
mating value of services, it runs into
the collateral difficulty of selecting
what services are to be measured. And
recognizing in some cases the curious
ly interwoven nature of the District
and national governments, the report
abandons such recognition entirely in
other cases. Its application would be
not only confusing but productive of
constant friction over the equities of
individual judgment.
