DISTRICT BUDGET SOON
WILL Be COMPLETED
Ready for President by October 20,
But Will Not Be Made
Public at Once.

While the District budget for 1924
will probably be revised in final form
by October 20, it was learned at the
bureau of the budget yesterday, 1t
is likely that the public will not learn
how much the bureau has apportion-
ed to the District until the estimates
for the entire federal business are
submitted by President Harding to
Congress shortly after it's convening
in December.
Budget officials are hard at work
on the various departmental esti-
mates for the coming fiscal year.
which Secretary Mellon has estimated
will be about two-thirds Of a billion
dollars above prospective income
Strict economy, which has been en-
Joined upon the entire federal busi-
ness machine by the President, lies
heavily upon officials of the budget
bureau, who are trying their utmost to
bring down all possible, estimates.
Although no definite hope has been
held forth by officials beyond the ex-
preston by Director Lord that the
District needs would be met in so far
as government income could be al
lowed, there persists the impression
that the District will get an allow
ance of more than s24.500.o00.
Just what action the bureau of the
budget will take, however, will not
be learned until after all the esti-
mates have been sent to the Presi-
mitted to Congress. The result of the
bureaus deliberations will be given
only to the President, Gen. Lord said
yesterday.

Col. Keller Ends First Year
As Engineer Commissioner
Study of Building
Plans Made
Specially.
Rate Cuts OF, Public
utilities Caused
by His Efforts.

Col. Charles Keller yesterday COM
pleted his first year as engineer COM
missioner of the District. an active
and eventful period in the history OF
the engineer department.
When asked yesterday to recount
some of the more important happen
ings of his first twelve months in the
service Of the District. the colonel
said that when he was named DIS
trict Commissioner he came into q
going concern" and had endeavored
merely to help keep it on a level
where it would render the best serv-
ice to the community.
To those in close touch with az
fairs at the District building. how
ever. it is known that Col. Keller
has devoted much of his first year to
improving and Strengthening the
work of the building inspectors
office.
Studies Building Plans.
Despite the many duties that de-
volve upon him. including his work
as chairman of the public utilities
Col. Keller makes a per-
sonal check of the plans OF practically
every large building that Is proposed
before issuance of a permit.
The Engineer Commissioner had
hardly been in office long enough to
become familiar with the operations
of the engineer department when the
knickerbocker Theater collapse oc-
CURED in January.
The tragedy brought forecfully to
his attention the fact that Washing
ton was developing at so rapid rate
that the building office was made
quately equipped both in the number
OF inspectors and In salaries paid to
keep UP with the work placed upon it.
The Engineer Commissioner was
successful in obtaining deficiency
for the employment OF
additional inspectors.
Not only does Col Keller review the
plans for new buildings. but keeps IN
close touch with the progress OF work.
He receives weekly from the building
inspector a report showing exactly
what was done on all large structures
Three Rate Reductions.
As chairman of the Public Utilities
Commission, Col Keller. during MS
Evening star., 1922-10-08

first year in that capacity. has been
instrumental in bringing about three
rate reductions
Carfare was reduced from a rate Of
five tokens for S5 cents to six tokens
for 40 cents.
The price of gas was cut from $1.10
to $1.05 per 1000 cubic feet.
Power Company for current were re-
duced by approximately 8 per cent.
The benefit Of this reduction will not
be felt. however. unless the United
States Supreme Court upholds the
valuation placed on the company's
property by the commission.
Although motor busses had begun
to operate during the closing days OK
Col. Kutz's administration as En-
gineer Commissioner. the bus business
has increased rapidly during the past
year. The street railway companies
have begun, to protest against new
bus lines that compete with existing
new problem to the work OF the chalr-
man of the commission.
Has New Paving Method.
Col. Keller, during his initial year.
has instituted an innovation in street
paving, exhibits of which may be
found on Naylor road. Pennsylvania
avenue southeast and 9th street
southwest.
The plan. consists of spreading a
thin topping of asphalt over old
macadam roads and streets paved
with Belgian block. While this treat
ment is not to be compared with an
improves worn-out surfaces until the
day when the Commissioners obtain
more adequate appropriations from
Congress for street work.
