ENJOINS STRICTEST ECONOMY
COMMISSIONERS DISCUSS BUD
GET FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR.
Heads Of Departments and, Boards
Asked to Consider Provision
in Appropriation Act.

To aid the District Commissioners in
observing the strictest economy In the
preparation Of the District budget for the
next fiscal year Commissioner Macfar-
land this morning moved before the Dis
trict board that heads Of departments
and boards in the local government will.
in preparing their estimates, consider the
provision In the last District appropria-
ton act that the total estimates shall
not exceed twice the total amount Of the
District revenues for the year.
His motion Is. In full, as follows:
II move that. with q view to the strict
est economy in the preparation Of the
budget Of the District OF Columbia for
the next fiscal year. the attention OF all
the officers and boards preparing esti-
mates for the consideration Of the Com
missioners of the District Of Columbia be
invited to the provision In the District
appropriation bill approved March 3. 1909,
that hereafter the Commissioners Of the
District Of Columbia shall not submit. nor
shall the Secretary OF the Treasury trans
init to Congress regular annual estimates
for expenses Of the government of the
District Of Columbia for any fiscal year
that shall exceed in the aggregate sum
equal to twice the amount Of the total
estimated revenues Of the District of Co
AOI C0Su uSCdl year. S5dlQ o6Il-
mates shall take into consideration and
embrace all charges against the said rev.
enues arising under appropriations other
than the regular District OF Columbia
bill. Such annual estimates shall not be
published in advance OF their submission
to Congress at the beginning of each
regular session thereof" !"
Commissioner Macfarland's Views.
Discussing the motion. Commissioner
Mcfarland declared that 1.-The Commits
sioners have always cut the estimates
submitted to them SO as to bring them
within the appropriation fund IL proper dis
tinction was made between extraordinary
and current expenses. The reductions
made by the Commissioners have been
large and our endeavor has been to prac-
tice the greatest economy, of course.
without impairing efficiency, and so as to
provide for the contantly growing capi-
tai. But 1t Is obvious that the new legis-
lation OF Congress will require far bet
ter reduction. Since it does not con-
template any distinction between extra
ordinary and current expenditures, all
OF the estimates must be brought within
the appropriation fund and all classes of
expenditure must be met by that fund in
the year in which they are made. We
must. of course. execute the will of Con-
gress in preparing the estimates. and to
that end must have the assistance of all
officers and boards which submit esti-
mates to us for our consideration"
