CITY TO ASK FEW
DEFICIENCY FUNDS

The District Commissioners will make
few requests upon Congress for de-
ficiency appropriations this year, it was
learned at the District building today.
Carrying out the wish Of the admin
istration for economy in government
operations, the heads of the several de-
partments Of the city government are
keeping a close watch on expenditure
in order to avoid running up DEFICIENCIES.
AS a safeguard against running BE-.
yond their appropriations, the Commls-
sioners have divided into quarterly al
lotments the appropriations for each
department for the fiscal year ending
June %.
In this way the work of each depart
ment will be evenly distributed through
out the twelve months.
Last year the engineer department
ficiencies to keep the work of street
and road repairing going until the end
of the fiscal year.
Mai. F. 8. Besson, assistant engineer
commissioner in charge of street work,
said today he does not expect to have
to ask for a deficiency this year.
OF course. there are a few appropria-
tions in which it may be impossible
to avoid slight deficiencies. because
of the uncertainty of the amount that
will have to be spent.
For example, there is a fund from
which city employees must be paid for
expense incurred as the result of in
jury in line of duty. 1t is impossible
for the Commi ssioners to tell m ad-
vance how much will have to be paid
for this purpose.
The health department ,s anpther
agency which cannot forecast exactly
what it will spend in a gwen fiscal
year. This department maintains a
staff of inspectors and nurses for the
control contagious diseases. In some
years contagious diseases are more
prevalent than in others. so that the
cost of maintaining the contagious
disease service must necessarily
vary. However. the city has had a
good health record so far this year.
There are few other instances in
which it is difficult for the Commis-
sioners to obtain appropriations in
advance that will meet exactly the
amount that must be expended.

INFANTRY BATTLE
Stops at Camp Benning,
Where Officers School
Stages Mimic Fight.
By the Associated Press.

by tne Associated Press.
- COLUMBUS. Ga. October 27-Pres-
ident Harding heard the deadly music
of the "whiz-bang" to day and saw
machine guns spouting sudden death
close beside him when he witnessed
a battle demonstration staged under
complete war conditions at the Camp
Benning officers infantry school.
From an observation post in the
midst Of the battlefield the President
got a closeup of the business Of war
as it was conducted by the American
troops in the Argonne. A battalion OF
the Goth Infantry advanced past him,
firing real ammunition. while over
head whined high explosive and
shrapnel barrage from a battery of
75s' far in the rear.
Airplanes and tanks also took part
in the attack. and the last touch OF
realism was contributed by a hospital
detachment following up the infantry
and bearing to the rear those who
had been theoretically disabled.
Later, in a brief address, he alluded
to the material might of the nation
and expressed a hope that the COM
ing armaments conference might re-
duce the possibility that the men he
saw in action today would be called
to face a real foe.
The Presidents special train made a
two-hour stop at Camp Benning on
the way from Birmingham, Ala. to
Atlanta, where he is to speak late
today. During the visit he also in
spected the personnel of the camp
and saw demonstration of firing on
the camp rifle ranges.
Hundreds were in the crowd which
met the presidential train here, and
surged. cheering. about the private
car for several minutes until he com
sented to make q speech. He spoke
from a truck in the railroad yards,
with Mrs. Harding. loaded down with
the city's contribution of flowers,
standing beside him. He declared 1t
was time to end sectionalism and
stand united to make a better nation
and q better world.
