Purchased several i-mp*
dents of the District of Colum-
bia, seat of our Federal govern-
ment, are currently endeavoring
to secure "Home Rule” for the
District. A majority of the per-
sons living here are employees
of the government and maintain
a legal voting residence in one
of the 48 States. A relatively1
small percetnage of the popula-
tion are native Washingtonians
and do not have a voice in se-
lecting any public official.
Hearings on Home Rule are be-
ing conducted by the Committee
on District Affairs which is
made up of 24 Representatives.
This committee together with
the Senate Committee on the
District of Columbia act in the
capacity of a City Council or|
governing body for the District.
This form of government was
set up in the Constitution and
provided that the Congress would
have exclusive legislation over
the seat of the Federal govern-
ment. Since this provision is in
being the Constitution, it would neces-
sarily require a Constitutional
amendment to make this change
to put the city government In
the hands of the residents here.
The original District govern-
ment established-ty Congress !i.
1802 consisted of a Mayor ap-
pointed by the President and
City Council elected by the
people. In 1871 the District was
authorized a delegate to the
House of Representatives but
this right was revoked in 1874.
The present form of government
is that a Municipal Corporation
established by law in 1878 and
consists of three commissioners.
Two of the commissioners, who
must be residents of the District,
are .selected by the President and
their nomination must be con-
firmed by the Senate. The third
is an officer of
the Corps of Engineers and is
detailed by the President to serve
at his pleasure, usually for a
four year term. The two civilian
commissioners are appointed for
three year derm*.
All legislation affecting the
District must be passed by Con
g.-ess after having been favorab-
ly reported by the Senate and
House Committee on the District
of Columbia. In this respect, the
District hfes a dual status as
municipal corporation and as
branch of the Federal Govern-
ment .being unique in that It
carries no bonded indeb
as all of its expenses
from current revenues and ap»
propriatlons by the Federal
Government, the latter being
$12,000,000 for 1949 fiscal year
as against a $95,000,000 budget.
