lowing letter to both houses Of Congress:
THE Commissioners have the honor TO invite
your attention TO the fact that the estimated

fiscal year 1890 are inadequate to meet the re-
quirements Of pending appropriation acts aud
Others already passed at the present session.

I'm tie estimates submitted by the Commits

mittee OF the House committee on appropria-
tons objected to this item and ct their request
revised estimates excluding il we're furnished
and will be found on page 8 Of Mr.. McComas'
report on the District bill report No IL
bill 37l1. Fifty-First Congress- first session.
Assuming the correctness :of this estimate
we have:
Revenues from new buildings. eS7. 500
Proportion payable by United stAteA. 1850
1otsl. ....................... Sl95, 900
Deduct this amount from the figures above
given and We have deficit Of s276. $50. S. In
addition to the foregoing we are advised that
there are other pending appropriations out Of
the District revenues, which will still
further increase the deficiency. In view
OF these facts the Commissioner
nave the honor to suggest that the
appropriations be reduced in order to bring
Them within the limits of reasonable anticipa-
ZION as to the revenues Of the District govern
ment for the year ending June 30, 1891, unless
some other provision can be made. Without
desiring 10 be importunate, We would again
suggest the adyisability Of passing the Senate
amendment TO tie District bill, providing for
The payment OF the appropriations for the new
water main and for the establishment Of the
kOOlOkiCA PARK IN tWenty-nve annual install
ments. IL this be done the revenues Of the
District will be sufficient to meet the propose d
Appropriations for 1891"
