The total estimates for the District OF

561, S70 appropriated In submitting these
estimates. Secretary. Carlisle says:
1.-THE Secretary of the Treasury not be-
ing in possession of such information as
would enable him to formulate proper
estimate for the needs Of the District gov
eminent, and not desiring that Its interests
should be prejudiced thereby, approves the
estimates as submitted by the Commission
ers with the recommendation that Con-
gress approprjates as much of the desired
amount may, upon carefui examinatton'
appear to be necessary.
The reasons for the changes In the ap-
propriations for the District Of Columbia
are stated as follows:
Executive officc-The recommended
changes in the matter of appointment
qualifications, tenure OF office ana duties
of the secretary are based on a necessity
for improvement in the administrated syS-
tenn Of this municipality. At present the
absence from the District or disability or
two civil Commissioners, or one or them,
and of the Commissioner detailed from the
engineer corps. precludes the transaction
Of board business. Further embarrass-
ments have also arisen from doubt as TO
the custody and use of the seal, which
were vested in the secretary or the DIS
trict when that office was filled by presi-
Dental appointments, but were not taken
into consideration by the sweeping legisla-
ton of June 20, 1874. by which the form OF
government Of which that office was part
was abolished. The estimated increased
salaries of the office is intended to be TO
some extent in keeping with the respon-
sibility in the Office thus enlarged, and the
extent and character of the labor and
qualifications necessary for the proper
discharge of Its duties.
