A—4 DONOVAN URGES BIGGER LUMP SUM Tells Citizens Fiscal Rela- tions of D. C. and U. S. . Should Be Equitable. The need for increasing the Fed- eral contribution toward the main- | tenance of the District was_stressed | last night by Maj. Daniel J. Donmnn,\ District auditor, in an address before | the Takoma Park Citizens' Associa- tion. Maj. Donovan said fiscal relations ghould be settled in an equitable | manner between the Federal Govern- | ment and the District for all times. One of the problems now confronting the Commissioners, he said, was the | preparation of the 1937 budget. which | will be started about July 1. He said | the operating expenses of the District | had increased 200 per cent in the last 15 years and the surplus of several | million dollars, which existed a few | years ago, has all been expended. | Unlike any other city, he said, the | District cannot borrow money or provide bond issues. This city is oper- ated on a pay-as-you-go basis and for this reason is handicapped in borrow= ing funds. Demands Increasing. The demand is constantly increasing | for schools, hospitals, libraries and | public welfare which, the speaker said, | naturally increased the operating ex- | penses annually. The $1.50 tax rate, | be felt, was & fair and reasonable tax rate and should not be increased un- | less it became absolutely necessary. | The Commissioners hope to retain | this rate and have under consideration the raising of additional funds through | sources not yet divulged, he said. He called attention to the fact that in 1932 no funds were expended by | the District for relief, but for the past two years $10,000,000 annually had been spent for emergency relief, $2,- | 000,000 of which came out of tax- | payers’ funds. The association voted to join the Chillum Heights Citizens' Association in a request to the Commissioners that the new bridge over the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad at New Hampshire ave- nue extended and the District line be named for Charles A. Langley, for many years president of the Chillum Heights Association. Dr. Guy Clinton, chairman of the Police and Fire Committee, announced that Traffic Director Van Duzer had eliminated all parking around the triangle at Piney Branch road and Cedar street, in front of the Takoma Public School. In the absence of Mrs. Mary Lamond White, who was out of the city, Dr. C. | C. Galloway presided. ’ THE WEATHER District of Columbia—Fair with low: est temperature about 48 degrees to- | night; tomorrow cloudy and continued | cool, followed by showers beginning | late tomorrow afternoon or night; | gentle north shifting to east winds. Maryland—Fair, probably light frost in exposed places in west portion to- night; tomorrow cloudy and continued cool, followed by showers beginning in west portion late tomorrow afternoon or night and in east portion tomorrow | night.

From these many styles and designs you can choose a set to meet your indi- vidual ideas and needs. White furniture is particularly smart and cool against nature’s background. Colors are gayer than ever. Iron furniture, painted white or light colors in period styles, is receiving most attention for formal groups. Rattan for beach and garden is light and easy to move about. Gliders, me- chanically and artistically better, with controlled action, are sturdy and com- fortable. Covers in leatherettes and water-repellent fabrics have bolder patterns—stripes, diagonals, plaids and simplified floral designs. Colors are strong and are used alone or in combination with lots of white or con- trasting tones. You will find these new trends, indi- vidually grouped, in our Summer Fur- niture Section, Sixth Floor. Terrace Furniture Delicately worked metal furniture finds a perfect background in a broad expanse of lawn or a spacious terrace. An ideal setting for an afternoon’s entertainment. Completely water- proof, it is as practical as it is cool and fresh. 4 Choose from these many interesting pieces those that suit your particular needs.
