-~ WATER SHORTAGE PERILS CINGINNATI Ohio River Hits 80 Feet, 28 Feet Above Flood Stage. B the Associated Press. CINCINNATI, January 26—Cin- einnatians trudged up and down the eity’s seven hills today, carrying cans, jugs, bottles—anything in which a little of the city’s vanishing supply of drinking water could be gotten to their homes. While the crunching Ohio reached and held to an apparent peak in its resistless charge down the valley, “Disaster Dictator” C. A. Dykstra, the city manager, reduced the water ration to one hour, and then, it was available only in the lower sections. Half the city’s 65000 homeless crowded with remarkable cheerful- ness into schools, churches and pub- lic buildings. Family groups remained intact, ex- eept that overnight sleeping arrange- ments placed fathers and mothers in separate dormitories. Red Cross Again Heroine. The Red Cross was the heroine sgain. The workers of that organi- sation took complete charge of the city’s dispossessed and assisted State sanitary authorities in the adminis- tration of serums to prevent typiloid, small pox and diphtheria. The water supply became “unsafe,” yesterday, not through flood waters seeping into the mains, but because alternately filling and emptying the conduits had stirred up wastes and sediments that permeated the supply. The remaining supply of water was measured at 80,000,000 gallons, as against a normal consumption of 60,000,000 to 60,000,000 Two of the four reservoirs were dry. The Eden Park reservoir, which drop- ped something less than & foot a day, held 55,000,000 gallons. The Mount Airy reservoir was reduced to 25,000 gallons. Fire Extinguished, The fire which devastated the al- ready flooded Mill Creek section on Sunday was out. Meteorologist W. C. Devereaux said he believed the crest had been reached when the yellow flood waters rose to the unprecedented height of 80 feet at 1 am. This was 28 feet above flood stage and nearly 10 feet above the previous record. The river at 7 a.m. still stood at 80 feet after several dips to 79.7 feet. “The fall will be so slow,” Devereaux said, as he observed no rain in sight, “that we will need a magnifying glass to see it for a day or s0.” “It will take 12 days to get to 60| feet, 20 feet below the crest, and we cannot expect resumption of anything | like normal activity in Cincinnati until | the river reaches that point,” he added. Passenger Vehicles Banned. Adding to curtailment of freedom n the flood-ruled city was an order today from Safety Director John J. Ames that all passenger vehicles ex- cept those on official relief business would be ruled off downtown streets | effective tomorrow. “We expect to have a unified bus system in operation tomorrow,” Ames announced. “After these services be- &In, no passenger vehicles except those carrying official emergency stickers will be allowed to use the streets.” At least eight were dead here. The Red Cross estimated 103,000 Ohioans were homeless. Of Greater Cincin- nati’s 750,000 inhabitants, 60,000 were desolate. Thirty thousand were housed in 32 refuges, cared for by the Red Cross. Meteorologist Devereaux raised his damage estimate to between $10,000,~ 000 and $15,000,000 here. FOUND. R m.a’%f'fifi'{"l’m"fi’:rfil&‘”r’fléfii 5 LOST. AR PIN. platil center.

Produces Inequities and Indicates Illogical Conception of the Na- ture of the Capital City. This is the second of a series of editorial articles discussing parts of the fiscal relations issue suggested by the recent report of the so-called Jacobs Committee. Yesterday’s article dealt with some of the fundamental weaknesses of the Jacobs’ Committee plan to measure intergovernmental services between the District and the National Government. Today’s article points to some of the weaknesses revealed in the actual attempt to measure these services as the basis for the Pederal obligation. HE Jacobs report starts out con- fidently to base the Federal obligation toward National Capital maintenance on an ac- tual measurement of “interdepart- mental” services. But the report soon leads into a bewildering maze from which graceful withdrawal is difficult. In this maze, carefully avoided by fis- cal investigators of the past, it leaves the puzzled reader and the unhappy Government® officials who, under the three-point fiscal formula would be charged with measuring and paying for the services alleged services. The committee’s attempt to measure interdepartmental services exchanged between the National Government and its administrative agency—the municipal government—for governing the District, or between the national Government and the unrepresented tax-paying residents of the District of Columbia, apparently resulted from a fundamental misconception of the na- ture of the fiscal relations issue. ‘The investigators seemed to believe that the root of the interminanle con- troversy over fiscal relations would be found in the dissatisfaction by parties to the controversy over the exchange of uncompensated services. Remove this source of friction, it was ap- parently believed, put everything on a paying basis, and a long step would have been taken toward peace on the fiscal relations front. Added Sources of Friction. But as far as known there has been little serious dispute in the past over the specific nature or cost of services rendered for or by the national Gov- ernment. If there has been, the fiscal report has succeeded merely in adding to it; has, in fact, injected new and peculiarly vexing issues where none existed before. The report declares that the Fed- eral Government is now performing 32 special services for the District Gov- ernment while the District Govern- ment is performing 30 special services for the Federal Government. But & close examination reveals that of the 39 services now represented as being performed by the Federal Government | for the District Government, about 18 of them, or nearly half, are already being paid for on a contractual basis or for one reason or another are not susceptible of measurement for actual compensation. Of the 30 special services repre- sented as rendered for the Federal Government by the District Govern- ment, about 10 of them, or a third, are already paid for or are impractical or too inconsequential to measure. In- cluded among the 20 for which the District should be reimbursed, if and when Congress chooses to do it, are tuition for non-resident pupils and a charge on non-residents for use of Dis- trict library facilities. There is also a third list of services which are suggested for possible meas- urement but the committee plainly gave up the task and did not include them except for general discussion. Some of these, as the report suggests, “led into the realm of imponderables.” Examples of “Services” to D. C. While it is impractical to discuss each of the items in detail, discussion of a few of them is sufficient to show the inherent weaknesses of the com- mittee's plan of approach. Some of them lead not only into the realm of imponderables but into new fields of possible discord and confusion hither- to_unexplored. For example, the following proposed charges against the District of Co- | lumbia fall into the same general category and might be discussed as one: 1. Codifying and printing Dis- trict statutes, a service performed by the House Committee on Re- vision of Laws. Use of the code by Congress is in connection with District matters and the entire cost should, it is claimed, be paid for from District appropriations. 2. Controlling audits and per- forming audits for the District by the Controller General, to be paid for by the District. 3. Review, control and compila- tion of the District budget by the Budget Bureau, to be paid for by the District. 4. Services of the Engineer Com- ‘missioner and his three assistants, salaries to be paid for by the peo- ple of the District. Illogical Conception. ‘The proposal to charge the District of Columbia for such services reflects & curiously illogical conception of the relationship between the National and District Governments, in addition to conveying a rather sardonic gibe at & unrepresented taxpayers who live Te. If it is logical to charge the people of the District with the preparation of the District Code, it is also logical to charge them with the cost of prepar- ing the legislation, some of which eventually becomes represented in the code. If it is logical to charge them with printing the code, it is logical to charge them with the services of the House Committee on Revision of Laws by a partial charge for salaries of the members; likewise, to charge the District for the services of the members of the House and Senate District Committees, House and Sen- ate subcommittees on District appro- priations, House and Senate commit= tees to which are referred other Dis- trict legislation and for the services of the Speaker and the Vice President, as well as all members of Congress in the enactment (or defeat) of Dis- trict legislation. If the services for the District of the Controller General, the Budget Bu- reau or the salaries of the Engineer Commissioner and his Army assistants are to be charged against the District, then the services of the President of the United States, his secretaries and his staff, when such services apper- tain to the District, should also be made the subject of a special charge. To have attempted to measure or to charge for such services, of course, would have been to reduce the theory to absurdity. But if one set of charges is logical, then the other set is also logical. Pay National Taxes. Of course, the people of the District —through their national taxes—pay their part for such services. In na- tional taxes they pay more than any one of half of the States, more than nine of the States combined, and in per capita amount more than 32 of the States (fiscal year 1936). To charge the District for the print- ing of the District Code would be analogous to levying a special charge against the Department of Agriculture (or the farmers of the United States) for printing farm leg- islation. The whole theory is made more fantastic by the fact that some of the proposed charges against the District—as for Budget Bureau con- trol of its budget—are for services ac- cepted without recourse by the people of the District, but accepted against their will, as frequent expressions of resentment against arbitrary control of the Budget Bureau have made clear. Two other charges, one of which is already levied against the District, suggest discussion because of the pe- culiar points involved. 1. Testing of street material for the Highway Department of the District government by the Bureau of Standards. 2. Testing of miscellaneous ma- terial for the District government by the Bureau of Standards. ‘The first charge is interesting be- cause of its history. The District Highway Department formerly main- tained its own laboratory for the test- ing of highway material, at & cost of about $11,000 a year. The House sub- committee on District appropriations objected to it and ordered that hence- forth the District highway material be | tested by the Bureau of Standards and the Highway Department laboratory be abolished. The result has been to increase the cost of such testing, which in the past fiscal year amounted to about $25,000—duly paid over to the Bureau of Standards. By a legislative whim cost of highway material has been increased. The testing of miscellaneous mate- rial for the District by the Bureau of Standards is now performed free, as the organic act of the bureau makes its facilities available to the State gov- ernments and Federal agencies. The District government is treated as a | State by the bureau. The proposal to charge the District for this type of work is & proposed act of discrimina- tion for which there exists no equitable P. W. A. Loan History. An apparent misconception of the | history of the local P. W. A. loans to | the District is also suggested by the report’s recommendation that the Dis- trict pay 4 per cent interest on these loans. ‘This payment of interest was waived for the first three years in the legisla- tion authorizing the loans as partial compensation for the unusually severe | terms of repayment. While in loan- | and-grant allotments to other cities, Congress permits the municipalities to repay their loans in 15 or more years, and the P. W. A. takes their bonds, PILES JAN Reling, Eetes suln t make Yo more ing. Eans g somfortable_while the medicstion gets ‘:n' Don't ouffor nesdionsly . exchanging them for ready cash at R. P, C,, Congress committed the Dis- trict to a $1,000,000-a-year repayment and set aside 10 cents of the tax rate as & special reimbursement fund. The walving of interest was also in con- sideration of the fact that the United States, as well as the District, was from expenditure of the loans. In the case of the sewage dis- posal plani, the District is only an incidental beneficiary, for while it helps purify the Potomac below the District, the Potomac above Washing- ton and Rock Creek, which runs through Washington, are polluted by sewage from Maryland and Virginia. In estimating value of services ren- dered to the National Government by the District the report is more inter- esting for what it fails to include than for what it actually does in- clude. It refers to the fact that main- tenance of the Police and Fire De- partments in Washington costs about $425,000 annually above the compa- rable cost of other cities because of the annual leave and sick leave pro- visions of the law, conforming to Federal standards. It mentions that if working hours for police and fire- men are brought into accord with statutes governing working hours in the Federal Government, about $1,- 338,060 would be added to the cost of fire and police departments, The re- port also shows that salary levels for District employes—covered by the Federal classifications act—are higher than in other cities. But no allow- ance to the District is recommended on account of these extraordinary ex- ‘penditures. The report credits the District with nothing for its Fire Department, from which the National Government, of course, receives a direct benefit through the protection of its property. The report allows no credit to the Dis- trict on account of the Police De- partment, except for occasional spe- cial details for the National Govern- ment. The report treats the National Government as & municipal taxpayer in charging it for the water it uses and for the paving of streets on which its property may abut, but blandly ignores any charge against the National Government for the vast amount of its property which is ex- empt from taxation, or for the street system laid out for a national capital, not an average community, or for the “act the National Government enjoys exclusive power over the District. But the report becomes most con- fused in dealing with possible charges egainst the District or the United States which somebody might sug- gest. For instance, the estimates for use of the Smithsonian museum facilities by District residents (although these facilities are available to every citizen) run all the way from $20,000 to $100,- 000 a year. For the maintenance of a botanic garden, the District residents might be charged anywhere from $5,- 000 to $35,000, depending on who is doing the estimating. These estimates are put down in the report, although not assessed against the District. But if the District residents are to be charged, say, $20,000 a year for the museum facilities at the National Mu- seum, with no like charges against the people of Chevy Chase, Md., or Arlington County, Va., what is the es- timated charge for the facilities of the G-men museum at the Depart- ment of Justice, or the medical mu- seum of the War Department? What is the difference? The cost of service rendered the people of the District by the Library of Congress is estimated at $55,000, although “no reimbursement is rec- ommended.” What is the cost of the library services to the people of Ar- lington County, Va., or Chevy Chase, Md.,, some of whom live about as near the Library of Congress as some people in the District of Columbia? If the theory of interdepartmental services is a logical or equitable basis for measuring the national obligation to the Capital, it could be applied in its entirety, without exceptions. The theory is illogical because it cannot be logically applied. In addition to the complications over actually esti- mating value of services, it runs into the collateral difficulty of selecting what services are to be measured. And recognizing in some cases the curious- ly interwoven nature of the District and national governments, the report abandons such recognition entirely in other cases. Its application would be not only confusing but productive of constant friction over the equities of individual judgment. (Next article: The Experis Disagree.)
