Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorial to Congress: By the Joint Executive Committees of the Citizens´ Associations of the District of Columbia, Against the Repeal of the Fifty Per Cent; Annual Congressional Appropriation Law To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled : This memorial showeth: In the Act of June 11, 1878, giving a permanent form of government to the District of Columbia, it is provided that the District Commissioners shall annually submit, the Secretary of the Treasury revise, and the Commissioners transmit to Congress, estimates of the amount necessary to defray the expenses of the District of Columbia for the next fiscal year and - "To the extent to which Congress shall approve of said estimates, Congress shall appropriate the amount of fifty per centum thereof; and the remaining fifty per centum of such approved estimates shall be levied and assessed upon the taxable property and privileges in said District other than the property of the United States and of the District of Columbia." The above law was adopted at a time when the relations of the District and the Capital City to the United States were fully understood. Five years of successive investigations by Congress, conducted by its best talent and resulting in four large volumes of reports, numerous debates in the House and Senate and constant discussion by the public press, had made the whole nation familiar with District affairs. The law of 1878 was the expression of thoroughly informed Congressional wisdom and was accepted by the intelligent minds of the country as an equitable adjustment of a question which had been left for eighty-seven years without definite settlement. But the membership of Congress has greatly changed since 1878, and the facts then familiar to Senators and Representatives are remembered by only a few.
