statement of the bill was authorized

for sundry civil expenditures for the
next fiscal year far exceed the esti-
mates for like expenditures in any pre-
vious year in our history aggregating
$141 ,284 ,366. These estimates were
prepared for submission to congress
last September, when the revenues of
the government were far in excess of
current expenditures. Before congress
convened the financial stringency
came on, resulting in a material fall
ing off in the government revenues.
This necessitated a thorough examin-
alton of the estimates with a view
of ascertaining the amounts actually
required to continue the service usu-
ally provided for in the sundry civil
bill and also to continue the public
works previously authorized until the
next appropriations shali become
available.

cations the committed has reported
the bill TO the house carrying in the
aggregate sos. 715.369, being sS5,66S,-

by the departments. The amount rec
commended by the committee is ample
TO provide for continuance during the
next fiscal year OF all the public
service usually provided for in the
sundry civil bill and for continuance
OF all public works heretofore author
lied until the next appropriations be
come available.
This reduction of more than $685.
