DISBURSING OFFICE
WANTS MORE MONEY
Charles c. Rogers Makes
RecOmm e n d atoms to
District Commissioners.

The annual estimate for the next fis-
cal year for the expenses Of the Dis
bursting Office was submitted TO the
Commissioners this morning by Dis
bursting Officer Charles c. Rogers. and
differs in one particular from some Of
the estimates already placed before the
Commissioners, in that II does not ask
for an increase IN salary for the head
Of the Office. but does recommend sub
stantiaI Increases for the employees or
the Office
Mr.. Rogers says that it will require
$50 to run the Office for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1903 which is 1880 more
than was appropriated for the current
year Mr.. Rogers draws 1000.
The estimate concludes by saying:
The employees of this Office are never
idle minute during Office hours and
work many days during the year long
after the regular closing hour. They
are competent and willing, and should
be recognized by the increases asked
for, which viii only bring their COM
pensatiOn up TO the standard Of salaries
paid clerks in other branches Of the
District service, whose duties * no
more arduous, and responsibilities much
less
