the Commissioners will be enabled 70
make their budget $12,0oo,0oo which Will
be nearly 100000 IN excess OF the ap-
propriations for the year which com
menced yesterday.
Collector Rogers statement says:
II. the expenses for next year should
be kept within the amount TO be ex-
pended during this year. the Commission
ers would be enabled 10 pay in twelve
months one-half OF the entire debt due
the United States government for ad-
vances for extraordinary improvements.
Which debt Is n round numbers about
100000"
The principal items Of revenue OF the
District government are these:

A matter OF Importance 20 the District
which has been accomplished through
personal interviews Of Commissioner West
with President TAFT, Attorney General
Wickersham. and other officials OF the
FEDERAL government, is the issuance OF
an Executive order directing that the
government Of the District be excluded
from the operation OF a previous order
in connection with what IS known as
the general supply committee. II the
/ original order had remained in effect II
would have resulted in making the Dis
1 trict government a bureau OF the Fed
eraI government, and destroy IN large
measure its distinct position as mu-
nicipaI corporation The action Of the
President Is IN line with his speech be-
l fore the business mems banquet when
he expressed himself emDhaticauy as in
favor Of preserving the municipal char
acter OF the District
There are less arrears Of real estate
taxes than ever before IN the history OF
the government, while the unpaid per-
sonal taxes is smaller than ever. Re-
Ceipts from personal taxes were $3.50 00Q
an increase of S09.O00 over last year
/ The increased assessments showed only
/ S35o,000, while the revenues show an In
/ crease OF more than SJ00oO0.
