[Br TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUsR1
WAsuINGToN Dec. 4-Several members who ara
spending the recess here have been giving much at
tention to the book Of estimates, and while sevefai
of the departments are indicating that most OF tho
saving they find it possible to make is IN pubic
works in progress in various districts OF tho
country, these members arc calling atten-
ton to the enormous contingent expenses
of the departments themselves Thus 1t ap-
pears that. while the Treasury Department makes
an estimate of only $4,000 for all kinds of fnrnl-
ture and repairs for all houses, pos-Oices,
appraisers stores. pints and other public buildings
under the Treasury throughout the Uni,ed States,
for the Treasury Department here alone the estl-
mate for the same item Of expense Is $1,000. Inc
estimate for fuel, lights, water, ice, and janitors
materials for all the public buildings IN the country
under the Treasury S275,000, while for tho lIeas-
ury Department it is $4,000.
The official records Of the Treasury show that for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1879 ont of contn-
gent fund of S499l6 1853 for horses aud car
riages, distributed under the following heads:
Horses, 500 carriages, $7O0; repairs OF wagons
s37s harness. $i5; repairs Of harness, $9s5 care OF
horses S. 29i shoeDg OF horses t3l oats, sg38 hay,
ssis straw. s1i5.
Besides thi there is regular contract with tho
express complny, under which large part OF the
hauling for departments is done, but stu over
81. 200 was paid for hauling, which neither express
nor Treasury wagons did. 1t will be seen from the
above figures that nearly one-sixth of the contn-
gent fund of the Treasury was used for carriages
and horses. Among the items for repairing car
riages is one Of S6SS and another of SSS3 While IL
IL claimed that these carriages are kept TO trasac
department business and do the general running
about the purchase of streetcar tickets for the ye1
amounted to $4,000.
This class Of contingencies will be cut very low
this year by Congress. The custom Of the depart
ments to which no objection is made, Is Ia have ono
twohorse carriage at the disposal OF the Secretaries
for official business and some of the bureaus need
one-horse carriage for the same purpose; bnt IT "
now ascertained as in the case of the Department
of Justice that eaht or ten carriages are provided
beyond that required for official use and that they
are used By the families of officials as private ear
riages Attention is certain to be called TO the mat
ter before the next appropriations are made. and
many members will insist upon rigorous rrtrrneh-
ment IN the departments here
