SUGGESTS ELEVEN GROUPS
Declares Changes Necessary to Per-
feet District Accounting.
OLD ARGUMENT
| REVIEWS
Recommendations in Annual Report
to the Commissioners, Who Are
in Favor Of the Change.
Would Reform District Budget.

To break away entirely from the
present method Of making appropri-
ations for the District of Columbia
and to get down to a practical con-
else method Of making all District
appropriations in one bill.
To reform the entire District
budget, SO that the items set
forth in it will be clear and plain
to the simplest mind. instead of
following a haphazard method Of
accounting which has grown up
with no one to care for it, simply
because some one started the Dis
trict accounting in that way.
These are the main recommended
tions Of Alonzo Tweedale, auditor
of the District Of Columbia, who
today presented his annual report
to the Commissioners. The report
hammers hard on those two prop
ositions. Mr. Iweedale says that
the Districts accounting never will
be perfect until these two great
changes are made.
