GOVERNMENT BUDGET
Appropriations Called For This Year Total $1O,OOO,OOO Under That of Previous One.

Manila, P. l., Jan. 24.-The gov ernment budget for the year 1922 as recommended to the legislature by Governor General Leonard Wood, amounts to $36,269,296, or about $1o,- 0o0,Oo less than the amount appro- priated for the year 1921. It was explained that although the revenue of the government next year would amount only to $31,525,717 the cur rent surplus at the beginning of 1922, amounting to $5,9S2,076 would give the government ample funds to cov- CT it's needs during the ensuing ..ear. The surplus it was pointed out, arises from the fact that appropria- tions have been made for certain pub lie works, but that the money has not yet been released.
 The largest single recommendation made was for the department of pub lie instruction which amounts to $9,9o7,646. The sum of $720,000 is recommended for the University of Philippines, in additions to the amount for the department of public instruction.
