CONTINUING FUND.
Auditors Recommendation Regarding
Alley Appropriation.

Auditor John r. Garrison of the Dis
srict has recommended to the Commission
ers that the Treasury Department be re-
quested 10 transfer the sum of $4,000
which is now charged to improvements and
repairs for the fiscal year 1904 to the
head of Alleys. District of Columbia"
without limitation of fiscal year. 1t APP
pears that there is already an unexpended
balance of $4,000 in the alley fund, and
Congress has appropriated $4,000 addition
al This money is used for opening, widen
Ing and Strengthening alleys and minor
Streets The sums expended by the Dis
xrict are repaid wholly by assessments
The fund should be continuing one in
stead OF lapsing with any given fiscal year
and so the auditor has suggested that the
treasury accounts be made to conform to
This idea. The money expended in this
way is part of the alley reform crusade
which has been progressing for the past
Jew years.

Requires $685. OS for Interest
and Sinking Fund.

The report of Ellis H. Roberts, treasurer
of the United States. on the sinking fund
and funded debt of the District of Column
bia shows that the bonds retired during
the fiscal year 1903, including the bonds
called on which interest has ceased, amount
to 81, 2S2,S 500. During the same period 3.6o
per cent bonds for $500 have been issued
in payment of a judgment of the Court of
Claims, resulting in a net reduction of the
bonded debt of 81. 2793O0 and of the annual
interest charge by S;5S,441.40
Since the close of the fiscal year the debt
has been further reduced by the redemption
of water-stock bonds for $1,000 and the
purchase of 800 per cent bonds for S40,lJO,
leaving the debt outstanding S12 S63, SOU,
consisting entirely of 3.G5 per cent bonds.
The interest accumulations on the stocks
and bonds of the funded debt retired during
the period from July /. 1873. to the close of
the fiscal year 1903 amount to So,oS3, 49,. So.
Reduction in Twenty-Five Years.
A comparison of the funded debt of the
District on July 1. 1878, when the duties of
the sinking fund commissioners were trans
ferred to the treasurer of the United
States, and on June 80 1905, shows that the
debt July 1, 1878, SD, 1O0, so, and that
the increase since that date by the issue
OF $50 per cent bonds was Sl,22 },oJ. The
decrease by the operations OF the sinking
fund and otherwise was So 800 making
the net reduction of the debt S9,1SJ,4OO, and
of the annual interest charge SI43,S44.
The treasurers estimates of the amounts
required by him for the fiscal year 1905
are: For interest and sinking fund on the
funded Indebtedness, S91o,4OS; for current
expenses of the sinking fund office, 5000.
He recommends an increase of 500 in the
salary of the clerk having charge of the
sinking fund division, and states that his
services are valuable far beyond his pres
ent remuneration.
Under the head of Guaranty Fund IN
der Contracts the treasurer reports re-
celptS during the year of 500, 594 80; invest
ments at the request and risk of contract

The Epworth League was organ

Cleveland. Ohio. on May Is. 1859. by
the smalgamation Of FIVE different
young peoples socitiss that then ex-
listed in the Methodist Church Some
OF those socities had been formed
for literary work. some for socizbility
and others for spiritual culture and
work. for finance, etc All OF Lais
work was incorporated into the neS
organization under six departments.
that OF spiritual. oenevolent literary,
social. correspondence and finance
A committee Is appointed in each
local chapter 10 have charge Of each
Of these departments the chairman
being a vice president and a member
OF the cabinet Of the Epworth
League.
II has often been said (and We be
lieve uuthfully said that the League
provides for all the needs Of the young
people. There is a provision for their
enjoyment and opportunity for the
exercise Of their energy
The motto OF the Epworth League
is Look Up. Lift Up. and this noble
organization has certainly become q
mighty factor in the betterment Of
the young people Of our country. The
local chapter in the Methodist Church
has already proven q great blessing
to our community. One OF the mem

tened the surprising amount OF be
nevolent work done. but Immediately

this publicly. for our pastor says We
should not let the left hand know

In the fourteen years Of its exist

a membership OF over three millions
