tant sanitarians, and when in active

Discussing the matter Of exemptions
from draft and the working OF the
exemption board, F. J. Green, exc
cutive officer OF the central board
OF registration, said today:
The procedure which will be fol
lowed in carrying into effect the pro
visions Of the selective draft law may
be summarized as follows:
First, the registration boards,
which supervised the registration OF
July 81, deliver the registration cards,
properly sorted by exemption areas, TO
the local boards and, that duty per
formed, the registration boards auto
matically pass out Of existence. The
local exemption board, its cards re-
ceived, proceeds to number its cards
with red ink In a series running from
one to the total number OF cards in
its particular jurisdiction. The cards
are not numbered in alphabetical or.
der. The cards when numbered will
be listed and the list posted in the
headquarters of the board, where II
is open to the inspection Of the pub
lie. Every man subject to the draft
should, therefore, as soon as the news
papers announce that the lists have
been posted, proceed to the headQuar'
tiers of the board in the exemption
area in which he lives and find out
what his serial number IL.
The red ink numbers, not the
registration numbers, are sent to
Washington and there they are drawn
by lot to determine the order in which
registered persons are to be called
by the various local boards. AS soon
as the drafting il completed, lists
showing the order in which the red
ink numbers have been drawn will
II given to the newspapers, and Will
be posted on bulletin boards in the
headquarters Of all local boards. AS
soon as the list L. delivered to the
local board, the board notifies those
who have been drafted to present
themselves for examination. A copy
OF the notification will also be posted
in the headquarters, and a notice
mailed to each man concerned, but
the posting Of the list at the office
OF the board will be deemed sufficient
notice to each man who Is drafted,
TO charge that mau with the duty OF
presenting himself before the board
The law the regulations state
makes 1t your duty to inform your
self when you are called. The mall.
ing is for your convenience, but II
the letter never reaches you you can
not make that an excuse. Watch the
lists at the office Of your board and
see when you are called for examina'
ton"
"The day on which each drafted man
Is to report for physical examination
viii be stated, and on that day the man
must report. II the person drafted is
found to be physical disqualified the
board will give him a certificate to
that effect II found to be physically
QUALIFIED for service, and a claim for
exemption is made within seven days
after the date Of the call, the person
seeking exemption will be given ten
days to file his proof to support that
claim. On the other hand, II man is
qualified physically and files no claim
for exemption or discharge, his name

CONGRESS TO BE ASKED
FOR MORE BUILDINGS
Extra Work In Connection with War
Makes Need for Additional
Offices imperative.

WASHINGTON. April oo.-The fact
that plans are being considered to ask
congress for an emergency appropri-
alton to erect public buildings in
Washington TO care for the greatly
increased demand of office space as the
esLlt of work in connection with the
war. became known last evening. when

ployccs to use government land at

Place for vegetable garden was with. .

The reason given for this action was
mat building operations on this tract

The action was surprise. since the
White House staff had the encourage
ment OF government officials in their
enterprise and yesterday morning Col
onel w. w. Harris. in charge of pub

which the White House employees

building. 1t had been deemed best 10

Budget Appropriations
1907 to 1917 Inclusive

In decade. from 1907 to 1917, In
elusive, there has been steady growth
in the annual city budget Gppropria-
lions. until that Of the current year
is more than one and three quarter
million dollars more than that Of
1907. In that year the city set aside
S2.3I1 ,6Sq.n5 to operate the city gov
ernment and for 1917 si.O3l.136.a5 was
appropriated. However to tho latter
sum should be added Sl63.93S.75, which
was withheld in preparing the budget
to constitute reserve fund for emer-
sency appropriations.
But the current year is lean one
for the city. While this is fact the
total budget appropriation is within
comparatively few dollars Of the an
preparation made during the most
prosperous year. 1916. The city during
that year had a budget which aggre-
gated s4.25S.61S.
TWO LAMENTATIONS HAVE
PROVED BENEFICIAL TO CITY
With the budget almost doubled i'm
decade is furnished n clear example
of Richmond's remarkable expansion.
During this time the city has twice
annexed territory. On April 10, 1910,
the City OF Manchester became n part
OF the metropolis, and was known az
Washington Ward, until the four
ward plan was adopted This annexa-
ton proved of mutual benefit TO erst-
while Manchester and Richmond. In
fact, SO good were the results from
this merger. that in 1914 tho city
agreed to take in portions of Hcnrico
and Chesterfield Counties. including
the towns of Highland Park. Gintcr
Park and Barton Heights and the
suburbs OF Forest Hill and Woodland
Heights.
The new territory came into the CITY
on November S. 1914. While each
promptly received benefits from be-
coming portion OF the municipality.
largely through annexation agree
ments, there are many needed i'm
provemcnts which the city has been
unable TO provide in some portions of
Its new and undeveloped area. What
the city has accomplished in this di
rection has been heavy drain on the
treasury. and has resulted in the
present financial stringency But the
government is running on an cconomi-
cal basis this year, and the Finance
Committee has already set the ma
chinery in motion to increase the city's
revenues without raising taxes This
will be accomplished it is expected.

many businesses and professions which
heretofore have virtually enjoyed the
privilege OF exemption.
