Roosevelt before he became Governor of New York, yesterday proposed to the administration a pay-as-ycu-go plan for | financing step-by-step a Federally | sponsored construction program for the Nation by the aid of a process tax on the construction industry, The council, through Dwight L. Hoop- ! ngarner, its executive, proposes a pro- | gram of public and private work esti- mated to cost between $1,000,000,000 and $1,250,000,000 as a means of fur- nishing employment and “rebuilding America Offers Employment Opportunity. Coming at a time when the Govern- ment is mapping a program for public works which it has been estimated will | cost in the neighborhood of a billion dollars, the council's plan “offers the opportunity for a substantial volume of employment quickly secured and serving en immediate need,” said Hoopingarner. ‘The council’s plan, as announced by | Hoopingarner, provides that on each | self-liquidating construction project a process tax of 5 per cent on materials nd other elements be paid by the in- ustry and that this 5 per cent of the gfotal cost of the operation be supple- ented in like amount by the Govern- ent to form the basis against which bentures in the ratio of 10 to 1 may issued under Government Sponso: ghip for popular subscription, with terest guaranteed by the Government. Ultimate amortization or retirement &11 the bonds would be provided for rough a sinking fund to cover projects that might not prove to be entirely self- lquidating. The plan is especially a ment sponsorship, such as slum clear- ance and other low-priced housing. Releasing Federal funds in like amount to be applied directly and from other sources for the conduct of non-self- Mquidating public works, this plan would permit the Federal construction pro- gram to proceed billion by billion pro- gressively as demand requires and reve- Rues justify. Immediate Work Asked. ‘The council submitted its plan for Bmmediate construction as part of a rogram for what it calls “rebuilding America with better homes and mod- #rnized factorles, and the movement of pulation generally to more suitable ving and working environment, with #mproved streets and highways.” . ‘The council announced it was uniting With itself in the program such power- ful organizations as the American En- gmstrlng Council, American Road uilders’ Association. the American In- stitute of Steel Construction. the Na- tional Association of Builders' Exchanges snd the National Association of Build- Ing Trades’ Employers. —_— MUSIC STUDIO CASE WILL BE REVIEWED D. C. Heads Instruct Bride to| Reconsider Alleged Zoning Violation. La salle Spier, who operates a music studio in his residence at 2235 Bancroft place. which the District Commissioners Tecently decided was in violation of zon- ing regulations, yesterday won recon- sideration of the case before District officials. After the city heads had granted a private hearing to Mr. Spier and to neighbors who had been protesting against the studio since 1929, Corpora- tion Counsel W. W. Bride was directed | to review the case after briefs had been submitted by interested parties. L The Commissioners asked that Mr. ride’'s advice as to whether the case ould be prosecuted, as he recommend- on April 12, when he found that the udio was a commercial enterprise and as not to be classed as a “home oc- pation,” which might be permitted in #an exclusive residential zone. After the Commissioners had agreed with this opinion, Mr. Spier reported that a former Bo: of Commissioners, in 1929, had held that teaching of music was regarded as a “home occupa- on.” Among neighbors who protested the fpperation of the studio were Comdr.

PROTESTS TAX ON UNBLENDED GASOLINE Kixture With Alcohol Hit by | Motoring Group ! troleum Institute, and Pe- Protest against proposals before Con- gress to tax gasoline which is not mixed with a certain percentage of al- oohol have been issued by the Amer- ican Automobile Association. Tepre- sentatives of the American Petroleum Industries Committee and the Asso- ciated General Contractors of America. The A. A. A. statement said its road tests have proved a general use of gas- oline containing 10 per cent of alcohol would “add $600,000,000 to the annual motor fuel bill of the country.” The Petroleum Industries Committee con- tended such a step would increase the price of gasoline 1 to 4 cents a gallon, and the contractors declared the meas- ure would result in a “revolt by those paying the tax.” Voleano Erupts in Java.
