now leading the Ants in the Masonic
bowling tournament, having increased
their lead by 76 points in the game
which Pros team won from Ants team
! by a score of 1,236 to 1,160 at the
Masonic temple last night The Pros
demonstrated their superiority in the
first and third strings when they rolled
up heavy totals over their opponents In
the second string, by a stroke of good
fortune, the Ants made the same number
OF points as the Pros and for a time il
looked as though they would make a
strong run in the third string, which
they did do but not strong enough TO
combat the showing of the Pros which
included a high single of 100 by Corson.
Harris of the Ants made high total OF
800. The results now stand: Pros,

BUDGET
GUT MOST.
IN HISTORY.
Schools, Sewers, and Streets
To Suffer From Program Of
Rigid Economy.

Slashed to the bone, the Dis
trict estimates for 1928 will be
forwarded this afternoon to Brig.
Gen. H. M. Lord, director of the
Bureau Of the Budget. The local
budget will total approximately
$24,500,000. A supplementary
estimate Of $4,000, 900 will be
submitted, bringing the total ap-
priation sought by District heads
to about $31, ,000, 900.
VIII Throw City Back.
Streets, schools and sewers will
be affected seriously by the Govern.
ment's move to carry it's economy
program into the District budget
system. Never in all history have
the Commissioners original esti.
mates been curtailed proportionate-
ly as this year.
District officials predict that the
passage Of the budget in it's present
form. exclusive of the supplementary
estimate, will place Washington one
more year behind it's expansion pro.
gram.
A strong letter of transmittal.
WIN tuC Cou Va tuS
Budget to be more liberal with the
National Capital, will accompany the
budget when 1t leaves the District
building. The letter contains an ar
gument to support every item IN the
supplementary estimate.
District officials now are fearful
that the Budget Bureau may decide
to make another slash OF the Dis
trict estimates. Brigadier General
Lord has already cut the estimates
from $31, 100000 to $24 500. 900. Many
items, which the Commissioners
considered necessary to keep pace
with the growth Of the city, have
been stricken out Of the budget ana
tackled on the supplementary es'i-
mates.
washington streets today are In a
"horrible condition" District officials
state. Complaints are pouring into
the District Building daily, and
drive is now in progress, fostered by
representative citizens. to seek im'
proyements. The budget in its pres.
ent form, however, will give little
relief. Only a few now streets are
provided for, and the appropriation
for repairs will only be sufficient for
patch work.
Schools Hard Hit.
The schools of Washington are
many years behind in their building
program. The budget offers no pros.
pect of relief. New Business and
Manual Training High Schools are
needed, but the Commissioners, 1t Is
understood, were forced to eliminate
any estimates for them. Washington
schools are crowded, and halliday
classes are necessary. Congress has
appropriated for a number of new
schools. but school officials decla e
many more are needed.
Extension of the sewer system is
needed, but the appropriation will not
permit an extension sufficient to
keep in peace with the growth Of the
city.
In other activities Of the District
government the estimates have been
curtailed.
