Surplus to Gancel Debt Recommendation for 1924 Obligation
District commissioners urge applying end of next fiscal year surplus revenues to district funded debt of about 6.5 million dollars. The plan, opposed to the Page amendment, would fund the debt with annual surpluses about 1.5 million expected in 1916, matched by the Federal sinking fund until the obligation is met. Funeral services for Dr. Christian Strack, 66, German-born editor of the Washington Journal, will be held at Lee’s Chapel this afternoon.
