In designing the southeast stable, suf-

electric motors This shop, in addition
to doing all repair and rebuilding work.

During the year a cost-keeping system
was developed, with the idea of attaining,
through the study of comparative costs.
greater efficiency and economy. This
system, with other things. keeps a close
check on all material used and pur-
chased and keeps the inventory Of stock
on hand always up to date. and also
compares the work Of the various fore
men, giving an accurate idea OF what IT
costs each man to do his work.
The territory to be cleaned has in
creased considerably, and is cleaned more
often, due largely to the fact that the
white wing area has been extended,
the white wings cleaning the streets
every day as compared with machine
cleaning every other day. This area is
also washed at frequent intervals.
The oiling Of suburban streets was I'M
dertaken on a rather large scale In the
place of sprinkling with water. each
street being thoroughly swept without
sprinkling before the oil was applied.
and remarkably good results obtained.
In the future, 1t Is the intention of the
street cleaning department to use only
this method in laying the dust.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Everything considered, the year just
closed will probably be known as one of
the most successful in the history Of the
public schools Of this city. Several mat
tiers which have been the cause of fire.
ouent friction have apparently been laid
at rest, numerous innovations intended to
work for the good of the schools have
been introduced, and various movements
which were under way at the opening Of
the year 1912 have been given added i'm
petus.
Several changes have taken place in the
administration Of the schools and in the
personnel of the officials.
Movements for the larger use of school
buildings and a teachers retirement and
pension bill were advocated and sup
ported by "A large number of civic organi-
cations during the year. Although the
teachers retirement bill was not passed
by Congress. such a large number of or
ganiZations became interested in it that
it is believed now to be only a matter of
time before it will he put in force. The
Commissioners urged Congress to allow

AUDITORS OFFICE.

The financial business of the govern
ment of the District of Columbia for the
fiscal year 1912 showed marked in
crease, the total income from all sources
being a million and a half dollars in ex-
cess of that for the previous year. The
total income for the fiscal year ended
June 30. 1912, amounted to 1865. I'D 30.
OF this amount the United States con-
tributed as it's share of appropriation ad-
vances So, 145. 3336S, and on account OF
special park improvements there was ad-
vanced by the United States 5000. 691.96
Congress. during the last session en-
acted legislation whereby the half of
certain fees named in the act were to be
deposited in the Treasury, one-half to the
credit of the United States. 1t is esti-
mated that this legislation will reduce the
revenues of the District of Columbia be-
tween siXty-five and seventy thousand
dollars. which would cause a total reduc-
ton in the District appropriation fund of
$145, 900.
Charge for Insane Patients.
In the act making appropriations for
the sundry civil expenses of the govern
ment for the fiscal year ended June 80,
1918, there was a charge imposed upon
the District of Columbia of $769, $4,000 on
account of the maintenance Of INDECENT
patients in the Government Hospital for
the Insane. This charge was made upon
the basis of the accounts shown by the
books of the Government Hospital for the
Insane, of which no previous audit had
been made.
During the year there were deficiencies
in the police and firemen's pension funds
amounting to $19. 435O. In addition to
this deficiency there was deficiency car
ried over from the previous fiscal year in
these funds amounting to $15,566.3O. At
the present time, therefore, there is due
to the pensioners Of these funds $35, COL 81
1t is believed that during the fiscal year
1913 there will be q deficiency of at least
$4,000. so that at the close of the pres
ent fiscal year, unless some remedial leg
islation is enacted. there will be due to
the pensioners about $4,000.

The year Just closed established a new
record in the number of surveys made
for citizens of the District. Also the
greatest number of alley condemnation

Series of Important Events.
The Commissioners decision to increase
the water rates. which went into effect
July 1 last. brought forth a protest from
q large number of citizens and civic
bodies.
This controversy was the beginning OF

tention of the public. A determined stand
was taken by the Commissioners to pre-
vent the absorption of any local public
service corporations by the washington
Utilities Company, the anti-merger policy
being strongly commended by many citl-
ZenS' associations.
Insurance Investigation.
The order of the District heads for a
REORGANIZATION of the books Of the Com
