THE cuRTAILING OF APPROPRIATION.
Has Csussd The BOari Serious Inconvenience
There VII fs a Gig Deficiency In Ih' App'o-
praton for Salaries Of Lighthouse Keepers.

Washington, Aug. 23.-The lighthouse
board is now at work on plans and spe-
cifications for a new hghtship at Pol
lock Rip shoals. Mass, for which SsV'VVo
was appropriated at the last session OF
congress. The appropriation was made
in the alternative form for either
lighthouse or a lghtship, but as 1t
would cost 100000 to build any kind OF
a lighthouse there the ship was adopt
ed instead. other undertakings OF the
board are the preliminaries to estab-
fishing light and fog signal stations
near Hog Island shoal. Narragansett
bay. r. l., and at Green's ledge, Round
Beach, Fitch's Point, White Rock reef'
Grassy Hammock in Norwalk harbor.
Conn; continuing work on the light
station at Orient Point at the entrance
10 Long Island sound and on the sea
wall at Tompkinsville, Staten island;
in reconstructing a lighthouse near the
mouth OF Salem Creek, n. j., and in
building a new steam tender for the en-
gineer of the Third lighthouse district.
The board is suffering from the re-
duCaon OF the appropriations TOR SAL
aries Of lighthouse keepers a good way
below its estimate. Congress seems TO
have had the feeling for some years
that IL was wiser to give less than was
asked and then make up what was
necessary in deficiency bill, than ID
do what IL ought TO at the outset
The number of keepers is constantly
increasing as the board finishes and
puts into commission the new hight sta
tions. The rapidly increasing demands
of commerce have induced congress To
establish fog signals at many existing
light stations. and II is fair to presume
that this increase will continue; yet IL
is necessary to employ another light
keeper at each station. TO which a fog
signal is added. and there congress un-
wisely attempts dts economies.
Appropriations have been kept so
small that the board has been unable
to retain many trustworthy keepers or
secure proper men for important posi-
tions because 1t has had no money
with which TO increase a mans pay in
proportion TO his increased experience
and value TO the service. Several days
ago the pay of light keepers was fixed
by statute at an average OF 5000 year.
AS matter of fact, the salaries range
from 800 to $1,000, but the number of
keepers has TO be SO adjusted as to keep
within the statutory average of pay.
