Chairman Simmons of the House Subcommittee on District appropria- “onl. under extension of remarks in ‘the Congressional Record, continues the controversy regarding fiscal relations between the District of Columbia and the Federal Government and the pro- m.bn of the United States’ contribu- to the- support of the Nation's Capital. He includes a letter from Dis- trict Auditor Daniel J. Donovan written m Mr. Simmons’ request in support of Simmons’ statement to the House wmz days that “We are paying this year approximately 28 per cent of the cost of running the municipal govern- ment in the Duu-lct of Columbia out of Federal funds.” In this statement Mr. Simmons was contradicting a statement made in an \ editorial in The Evening Star that in the 1930 appropriations previously estimated by Mr. Donovan at $44,965,- 000, the Federal Government will be Dlgll 20 per cent plus of the total.
