After laboring for months on the

estimates have been completed and
sent to the Office of the Secretary
Of the Treasury yesterday by the
Commissioners.
According to statements made
yesterday. this years requests for
appropriations are made on strict
ly war basis. and the budget may
well be called war budget" 1t Is
understood that no new construc-
tion is asked for. This means a
decrease of milIions of dollars in
the annual expenditures.
Drop All Construction Work.
were led to the dropping Of con-
struction work by two considera-
tions. The first Is, that il would be
unpatriotic to take money from the
treasury of the country at the pres
ent crisis and use il in the COM
munity. The second is that even II
the money was appropriated it
would be practically impossible to
secure the necessary labor and ma
terials until after the war.
Wage Increases Scheduled.
The question OF increasing the
wages Of District employees is under
stood to be taken up in the budget.
According to the law. It is impossible
10 secure exact figures as to specif1c
items. and the Commissioners yester-
day declined to discuss the measure.
The budget will be submitted to
Congress at its session which will
convene in December. II will then
be referred TO the District Commit
tee OF the House and hearings will
probably be held by the committee.
At that time the commissioners will
appear, and state the reasons for
the various appropriations.

their energies to production and
there are no constructive enterprises
