BUDGET NEXT Job
CITY HEADS FACE
Annual Task viii Be Started
About August IS and Re-
quire Month to Finish.

With rate decisions out of the way.
the District Commissioners have an
other big job confronting them. that
of preparing the Districts next annual
budget. This task will be started
vigorously about August Is and will
require q month Of their time.
Just now the Commissioners are
pretty much in the dark as to what
improvements they are going to ask
for. In the first place, they have not
made an estimate as to what the
Districts probable revenues will be.
for it is on the basis OF anticipated
revenues that the budget annually 10
framed. Then, there is the question
of whether any limitation. outside of
the Limitation of available revenue.
is to be placed upon the estimates. in
line with the governments economy
program.
Estimates to he Submitted.
These preliminary considerations
will have been pretty well canvassed
before the middle of the month, by
which time the several departments
of the municipal government will
have submitted their estimates for the
next fiscal year.
Commissioner kutz said yesterday
the Commissioners have been asked
py COnnittet OF business men 10
include in the budget. recommenda
tion for new building to house the
office of the recorder of deeds. The
request, he stated, will be considered
when the budget is being prepared.
1tswas indicated the Commissioners
also will consider the advsability of
asking Congress to replace the Cal
vert street bridge. over Rock creek.
This structure is bearing a heavier
volume or tr" MIC than was contem-
plated when ii was built. The Com
missioners rea''' the time for replac-
ing 1t is drawins near but whether
they will hav" sufficient funds for in
itiating the project in the next budget
Is doubtful.
Conduit One Of Big Items.
Probably one OF the largest items in
the budget will be in ronneoti ion with
the building Of the ten million dollar
conduit from Great Falls. for which
Congress provided an initial appro-
p~iation of 100000 in the Army bill
ton saddled so rer cent of the cost
upon the District: the other 40 per
cent on the federal government Fed
eral and District government officials
say the conduit should be built in
three years. If possible. on account of
the fact that Washington now de-
ne ends for its war sunrly or an oh
solete conduit To complete the new
line In three v" would call for an
expenditure of ~-o-r. than 81 nAO 60a an
nualiy. of whi"h he District would
have to provide "'or" than a million

VIII CenssIer Requests.
The conduit improvement. there
fore. is going to be one of the most
important factors the Commissioners
will have to reckon with during the
next few years in allottins revenues
for budget purposes.
The Commissioners, as usual. will
consider requests for improvements
TO be submitted by citizens associa-
tions. Citizens bodies will be asked
to recommend the improvements
which they consider most needed in
the sections they represent Under
the requirements of the new federal
budget system the Commissioners
Will have to complete the District
estimates ana submit them TO the

drive it has been found that many re-
ports are required under law. not only
annual reports from the government
establishments, but reports from
scores of commissions and boards and
institutions. These have been accumu-
iating during the years.
The clerk Of the House is now re-
quired to make a report annually on
these reports, and while his report 10
usually quite brief, 1t represents a
good-sized volume for him to merely
list the reports that have to be sent
to his Office and printed as public doc
uments. These reports cover expendi-
lures, activities and what-not. There
is little uniformity about them.
Identtcsl Form Sought.
1t will be an important task in it,
self for a subcommittee to sift down
these reports and get them concen-
trated to a systematic and Identical
form, but it should result in a sur
prising saving, while making the
work in the government departments
much easier. Though the printing OF
them is charged up to Congress. it re-
quires a great amount of clerical time
and materials to prepare these re-
ports. ,..
There was q provision in the last
deficiency bill authorizing the head
of a department to discontinue the
printing of any annual report to keep
down the printing and binding bill.
This was only with regard to reports
for their own use, but did not aneSt s
the reports sent to Congress, which
are for the most part printed and
charged to the printing and binding
bill Of Congress itself.

mittee revision bill proposing
straightout repeal.
New Sources to Be Found.
While committee republicans-and
they will frame the tax bill-have
reached no definite decisions on the
proposed revisions, it appears to be
fairly well established that there will
be no alterations in the normal rates
on individual incomes or in the
amount of exemptions allowed There
probably will be some shifting of
the tax burden in other directions.
and Mr.. Fordney is of the belief thai
some new sources of taxation will
be found.
The chairman said last night that
he was studying the Canadian system
of taxing luxuries. particularly in
their relation to the so-callsd lux
ury taxes imposed by the present
American law. Illustrating the diff
ference between the two. Mr.. Fordney
said that in this country, in the case
OF wearing apparel, luxury tax was
imposed on the cost above a specified
sum, whereas in Canada tax was
imposed upon the wholesale price
where the cost was in excess Of a
given amount
All Taxes Called "Nuisances."
Asked about the repeal of what
the Treasury has characterized as
nuisance" taxes such AS that on
soda water, Mr.. Fordney said. smil
ingly. that all the taxes in the bill
were "nuisances,"
Treasury and internal revenue hu
reau officials are expected to present
some new recommendations to the
committee tomorrow in executive ses-
sions, as we'll as renewing the ad
ministration proposal for repeal of
the excess profits and higher sur
taxes and increasing the normal in
come tax on corporations from 10 to
Is per cent.
Chairman Fordney, Representative
Longworth and many other members
of the committee are known to favor
this plan. Mr.. Fordney said it would
make for simplification. He was Of the
opinion that the revenue received by
the government would be substantial
ly the same, but said that in any
event he thought 1t was the general
belief that corporations should not
nay as much in peace times as in time
of war.
May BE Ready September 1.
There is a difference OF opinion
among members as TO the time which
will be necessary to frame the TAX
bill. Representative Frear, repubu.
can, Wisconsin. said last night It
might be September before the
measure could be made ready for the
House. He declared the subject was
a highly important one' and should
, be given earnest thought and STUDY
In this connection, the Wisconsin
member said he was opposed to any
one debating to the committee what
should or should not be done.
