These eighteen carloads mentioned

to the railway mail service. which
has headquarters in the lower level

The railway mail service parcel room
there today showed an extraordinary

D. c. HEADS URGE
SEWER ESTIMATES
Will Insist Congress Allow
$362. .OCO Increase Granted
by Budget Bureau.

When the Commissioners go before
Congress in support of their estimates
for next year they will make a special
effort to retain the increase of $362.000
recommended by the budget bureau
for the work of the sewer depart
ment.
The old saying. "Ou; of sight. out
Of mind" has a particular bearing
on the present situation in the sewer
department. District officials believe.
Every citizen. whether he walks or
rides, can see the need for more
money for street paving. and con-
gressmen are therefore always having
of the highways.
Sewer System Neglected.
But the sewer system Of the city.
though equally important, is literally
out of sight and its needs are not
brought so forcefully to the notice of
individuals and organizations work
ing for the betterment of the ci,y.
shortcomings Of the sewer works.
however. and IN submitting their esti-
mates for next year to tho budget
bureau they inserted liberal increases
for sewer projects.
AS in practically all othel branches
Of the municipal service. the budget
officials trimmed the sewer figures.
but they left in the estimates s362. 900
more than the sewer division received
for the current year. This increase
makes total of $4,000 allowed for
this department for next year.
Building activities have gone for
ward so rapidly in the past few years
that the engineer department has not
been able to keep up with the demand
for sewer extensions to serve new
houses.
Lump Sum Appropriated.
Such extensions are made out Of
4 lump sum appropriation known as
assessment and permit work." For
the current year the Commissioners
have the small sum of 100000 under
that heading. The budget bureau has
recommended an increase Of $4,000
in this item and the city heads feel
sure they will be able to show the
appropriations committee the need
for this additional amount.
Another gratifying item in the
budget for next year is $4,000 for
continuing work on the Rock Creek
interceptor. which Is being built to
