WANTS LESS MONEY.
Assessor Darneillc's Remarkable Rec
ord

Very much of an exception to the usual
rule i'll estimates of departments OF the To-
cal government for the ensuing fiscal year
Is that of the office of assessor of the Dis
trict of Columbia. Not only does Mr. OAR
nellie the assessor. not ask for an in
crease of expenditure for the new year,
but he estimates that he can conduct the
affairs of his Office during the twelve
months ending June 80. 1907. with 5000
less than the amount allowed him for the
present year.
The estimates of the assessor for 1867,
which were transmitted to the Commission
ers today. show that during the present
year the services of a temporary clerk
working on the Numerical Book at a
compression of 50, 600 are required. Next
year this clerkship can be abolished, and
this is the saving for the year which the
assessor counts upon. AS increases in
salaries for 1907 are contemplated. the con-
duct OF the assessors Office, with it's fifty
six chiefs. clerks and other. attaches for
that period will demand An apprOpria ton of
SI1, $50, against STe.e50 for this year.
