Surveys Made for District Government Outlined in Annual Statement. The annual report of the United States Bureau of Efficiency, submitted to Congress yesterday, contains a sum- mary of the various surveys the bureau has made of the District government, of the fiscal relations between the Federal and District governments, and which is nearing completion, the annual report of the bureau states: “At the request of the Director of the Bureau of the Budget and the chair- men of the Senate and House subcom- mittees in charge of the District of Columbia appropriation bill, the Bureau of Efficiency is making a study of the fiscal relations existing between the Federal Government and government of the Dwstrict. The Federal Govern- ment at the present time is paying $9,000,000 annually as its share of the cost of maintaining and upbuilding the National Capital, which sum repre- sents 23 per cent of the total cost. Question Perennial One. “Each year when the District of Columbia appropriation bill is under consideration the question arises as to whether the amount appropriated from the Federal Treasury is a fair and equitable contribution by the Federal Government toward the support of the Capital City. “The bureau program for this sur- vey includes a study of the entire field of municipal taxation, with particular reference fo the tax burden of citiés of 300,000 population or over. Data i3 being collected from 13 such cities em- bracing the various forms of taxation in each city (including State and county taxes), the basis upon which each tax is levied, the exemptions from taxa- tion, all revenues from source: other than taxation and the scale of govern- mental expenditures.” —_—— There is hardly an _institution of higher education in the land that could not cut its corps of administrative offi- cers in half without serious injury to the process of instruction. This esti- mate errs, if at all, on the side of conservatism, says W. B. Munro in At- lantic Monthly. Members of the Rector's Aid of St. Thomas' Episcopal Church, who for four years have borne the interest payments on the church debt of $37,000, which and points out ,that recommendations thus far adopted by the Commissioners will result in annual savings of more than $287,600. Recommendations still pending, if adopted, will result in fur- ther annual savings to the District of more than $200,000, the report adds. Reference also is made in the report to the possibility of bringing about a sav- ing to property owners through a re- duction in fire insurance rates.
