advance to the National Capital Park and Planning Commission $23.000,000 for land purchases within the District and in the adjoining regions. The bill ) i provides that $16,000,000 of the $23,000,- 000 shall be expended within the Dis- trict and that $7,000,000 shall be ex- pended in adjoining regions of Maryland . v and Virginia, provided that these States or political subdivisions of the State or private individuals provide an equal project. At present the National Capi- tal Park and Planning Commission is obtaining an appropriation of $1,000,000 per year for land purchases out of the District appropriations. The purpose of the Cramton bill is to provide the money immediately.

It is usually thought that the Government supports the entire city development. This is not true. People ,are taxed $1.70 on the full valuesof their property. This money is paid into the United States Treasury. All nrpmprlntiom for expenditures are establis budget system. Out of last year's total budget of some $45,000,000, $37,000,000 s paid by the taxes collected from the people within the District, and the bal nce was paid out of Federal funds. Naturally the Federal Government does not pay taxes on its property, so its payment of approximately $9,000,000 for the maintenance d development of the District of Columbia is more than justified. The funds supplied the National Capital Park and Planning Commission are taken from the District appropriation. Therefore, if the Cram- ton bill i passed, the $16,000,000 to be spent within the District will be re- turned by the District appropriation at the rate of $1,000,000 a year for 16 years without interest. Generally speaking, this additional land to be bought by the Park and Planning Commission within the District will be paid for in approxi- mately the proportions of one-sixth by the Federal Government and five-sixths by the people of the District themselves. ‘The total $7,000,000 to be expended in conjunction with moneys raised by po- litical units of the bordering States or by private individuals will be purely Federal funds. It is hoped that the 1| people of this dountry will realize that ‘Washington, as their National Capital, shed by Congress through the |bring clusion. “A report and estimate is be- ing prepared to give some idea of what the improvement of the entire park system of Washington, D.

It is hoped, however, that this report will g forth the necessity and advisa- bility of a steady improvement program for a period of years.” FINED FOR LETTING RUM AIRPLANES LAND ON FARM Canadian Is Assessed $200 Penalty for Providing Field for Bootleggers.
