FOR PAST FISCAL YEAR
ANNUAL REPORT OF DISTRICT
PROPERTY CLERK.
Total Expenditure q ABOUT 100000
Additional Clerical Help
Needed.

Mr. F. o. Beckett, property clerk of the
District of Columbia, has submitted to the
Commissioners his annual f0port of the
business of his Office during the fiscal year
which ended June 80, 1902, with recommen-
dations deemed advisable for the proper
and efficient conduct of the Office. The re-
port follows:
During the year referred to there have
been expended through this office appro-
priations amounting to about 500, 600
There were 3215 acquisitions made upon
the Office for supplies, which necesstated
the writing Of 1910 orders. Number Of
bills examined, approved and forwarded to
the auditor Of the District Of Columbia for
payment was 9,025.
1.-THE clerical force under my control has
for some years been insufficient, the nor
NAL increase in business having far exceed
ed the additions to the force provided to
conduct it.
I'm my last annual report I called atten-
ton to the large increased labor of the Of
flee, which has been occasioned by the fol-
lowing additions, all OF which have been
made since Congress has added to the
force of the office: Two police stations
thirty-nine new school buildings, two man
ual training schools, Freedmens Hospital,
Industrial Home School, Municipal Lodg-
ing House and the public library.
THE supplies for all Of these places are
furnished upon acquisitions on this office.
Since the work of street cleaning and COL
lecting city refuse has been done directly by
the District, this, too, has added to the
labors Of the office.
Additional Clerks Wanted.
'T therefore request that Congress be
asked to provide for the two clerks now in
this office, paid at the rate of 81 per diem
from appropriations for 'sprinkling, sweep
ing and cleaning Streets general expenses,
electrical department. and text books and
supplies public schools, and that two aooi-
tional clerks be provided, all of whom are
necessary to properly conduct the business
of the Office.
Il beg leave to call attention to the great
disparity of salaries in this office as
pared with other offices under the District
and general government, and in this con-
nection recommend for readjustment
thereof.
LAS above mentioned there has been ex-
pended through this Office during the past
year about $500 COO while the total cost of
salaries, provided by Congress. has only
been $500, with additional 81, 2SS paid
per diem and detailed clerks from other
offices, making a total of $S,5OS, about l
per cent for salaries in an Office which an
nualiy spends SO large an amount.
There are other departments under the
government whose total salary list is more
that double this amount, while their ex
penditures are not as large by one-third.
Therefore, 1 respectfully request that the
Commissioners ask an increase in my own
salary from 81 900 to 2000 per annum and
recommend that the salary Of my deputy
be increased from 81 400 to S1,6C0 per an
num-"
