Confronted by Deficiency.
The Board of Childrens Guardians C!
the District OF Columbia recently. through
its secretary, sent TO the Superintendent
| of Charities a statement of the estimated
deficiency in the appropriation for the use
of the board for the current year. This
statement has now been conveyed to the
Commissioners by the Superintendent of
Charities. with the request that the
amount asked for by the board be favor
ably considered.
The estimates of Secretary Mann. OF the
board, call for the sum OF SS,S59.16. as the
actual amount required to carry on tho
work of the present fiscal year. In order
to meet all exigencies which may arise
the board asks for 81 200
In view of a possible excess in ex-
penditures over the minimum estimate,
says the report. land the inconvenience
that would result to the board. to its con-
tracing parties, and TO Congress. in such
an event the board feels justified in ask
ing an amount slightly in advance of the
closely figured estimates" Reference is
made to the reputation of the board for
economy in administration and to the fact
that it has, whenever practicable, return
ed unexpended balances to the Treasury.
and for these reasons it is urged that the
board be treated literally.
H. W. Lewis, Superintendent of Chari-
ties, in transmitting the estimates to the
Commissioners. and in recommending
their favorable consideration. says that
the deficiency in the revenues is due, in
part, to the operation OF the law by which
the board was created. but chiefly to the
growth of the work OF the board in di-
rections heretofore wholly neglected One
notable instance of this. he says. is to be
found in the establishment and main
tenauce of the Hart farm school for col
ored boys excluded from all other insti-
tlltions in the District.

THE oRDWAY CLAIM.
Attorney DuvnIFs Opinion on tn.
Legal Questions Involved.

N G. Ordwsy, executor OF the estate of
George L. Ordway. recently applied to the
District Commissioners for a settlement
relative to the auction sale OF building
and materials connected with the Washing
ton Market Company. The application
states that in 1880. when the District au-
thorities took possession Of the property
in front of the market house for public
purposes. that the building and materials
in question were sold at public auction for
S432.50. This amount it is alleged, was
raised by clients Of the late Colonel Ord
way, ariI permission obtained by him to
remove the building TO the wholesale
grounds.
1t appears that an arran cement was en-
tered into at that time by which the Dis
trict was to receive half the rental for the
building, and those who placed the build
ing on the new site were to receive the
other half.
The executor now comes forward with
a request TO the Commissioners that they
shall assent to an equitable adjustment OF
the amounts collected and received for the
use of the building and grounds under
their direction. and allow the building TO
be removed to private lot. as il originally
cost the owners, with the expense OF NOV
ing and improvement at various times,
about $1,000.
