that not only the estimates which were
prepared under their direct supervision,
but alsJ the estimates which are trans
mitted TO them and included in the Dis
trict bill, should not. in the total, ex-
coed vice the amount of the estimated
revenues Of the District. and placed
upon the Commissioners and the eXeCu-
tive officers OF the District a large p0r-
tiOn Of the responsibility which hereto
fore rested upon the Appropriations
Committees.
II Is believed. says the Auditor. that
after a careful analysis of the estimates
and after a study OF conditions which
have heretofore existed, a budget may
be framed and presented TO Congress,
which VIII meet equitably the needs Of
the District. and will meet with no ma

Noticeable Feature.
IN comparing the appropriations for
the last five years" said Commissioned
West today. 'the most noticeable
feature is the increase in the appro-
priations under the head of public edU-
cation.
9TH AMOUNT expended for schools
now mounts to nearly 100000 a year.
or more than s., 900, 600 than was ex-
pended IN 1906. The largest percentage
OF this increase Is round unQer the mead
Of new buildings and grounds. the ap-
prOpriations for buildings and grounds
for the last three years having aver
aged considerably over 100000 annually.
whereas In 1906 the amount was only
sl66,O00.
in addition to this. the District is
paying about S250,00O a year in increased
salaries to teachers, which amount does
not include $4,000 given 10 them as
longevity pay.
Wide the public schools have thus
been receiving the largest proportion
Of the increase. other essential features
have apparently been neglected For in
stance we are spending today only about
100000 more for our streets. country
roads and bridges than we did five years
ago. The amount allotted for street
cleaning has remained almost un-
changed during this period, although
new streets have been opened and Craf-
nc is constantly growing heavier In the
business portion of the city.
The Fire Department pends today
$500. 600 more than il did five years ago,
while the cost OF the police force is only
about $4,000 more. A very large item
OF Increase in District expenditures is
the cost OF assisting to maintain the
Supreme Court Of the District, a charge
which five years ago was maintained eX-
clusivelyB by the Federal Government
This cost is now nearly 100000.
In Health Department.
THE Increase I'm the Health Depart,
ment has been normal. while charlie,
and corrections continue 70 cost IL,
District taxpayers 100000 a year il
round figures. It seems impossible. ap.
parently, TO reduce this large item OF
expense. On the contrary. the demands
for the increase OF the fund are numer-
ous.

combination of errors and a base on

Gals came back in their half OF the
first two innings and won the game.
The crowd was rather small for q

seem to be particularly off on some
plays.
Hess, the first man up for Cincin

A RURAL CARRIER
SPORTS A MACHINE
Department Gives Harry Fish,
er Right to Use One.

Permission to test the use OF automo-
biles for rural route delivery service
has been granted Harry Fisher, rural
carrier No. Z, by department officials
at Washington, according to a commu-
nication received this morning by
Postmaster j. A. Spekenhier. Mr..
Fisher will probably appear in his au-
to within few days and will give the
machine a thorough test. His route
lies in Webster township and the
roads are in very good condition the
year round. Other carriers will
watch the experiment closely and If 1t
proves successful will no doubt ask
permission to use machines. In COM
munities where the automobile has
been thoroughly tested and found effi-
cient for such work, the carriers get
through their work earlier, thus CIV
ing the patrons better service. The
cost of maintenance is not much
greater than that Of wagon service.

A GIFT FOR TAYLOR
Former Veteran EmpIoye of
Adams Express Gets a
GoId-headed Cane.
FROM FELLOW EMPLOYEES

]. W. Taylor, who, for forty-three
years was express messenger between
this city and Grand Rapids, was pre-
sented with a gold-headed cane last
evening by a delegation Of the en-
ployes of the Adams Express company
at his home, 314 North A street. Mr..
Taylor is in his sixty-eighth year and
is in enfeebled health, due to stomach
trouble. He retired from the service
but a short time ago.
In behalf Of the employees Of the
company, of whom there were seven.
teen present, R. G. Shriber, route
agent for the Adams company, made
the presentation speech. Mr.. Taylor
was so agreeably surprised that he was
almost overcome by his emotion, and
could hardly express his appreciation
BY a few words Of thanks.
