CIVIL SERVICE RULES AND

City MANAGE Dowler objects 20 the

the Treasury. Mr.. Adams states that
when the Republican administration
came INFO power the public debt amount
ci to s23.977.45052c. On June 50. l922.
this had been reduced 10 Sc2,96G.%Sl.-

pendttures FOR the hscal year which

all OF which time they were under tho
control OF the Democratic executives.
The Republican Congress. according
to Mr.. Adams statement. has made \
record of economy never excelled. Its
appropriations for the current fiscal
year are s3ts.o 600 900 less than those for
the last fiscal year. They are sl'o33'-
