The building Of the new conduit

Major M. c. Tyler, in charge Of
the work. s
Appropriations asked for, $4,000

refused BY Congress and the work
has been considerably slackened up
on this account. No appropriation
was given the project this year by
the Appropriations Committees OF
the Senate and House. Authorize
ton to contract for $1,500,O00 was
given in its stead.
Throughout the winter months
the work has been carried on 40
fast as the weather would permit.
1t was pointed out that an
authorization to make contracts
was of very little use in forwarding
the work. Few, II any, contractors
are able to advance q million or
more dollars in order proceed under
these conditions. They would be
compelled, it was said, to wait un.
til Congress appropriated the
amount due them before any col
lections could be made.
Plans to Rush Work.
Plans for pushing the construc.
ton during the summer months
are now being completed. Had
Congress appropriated a cash
amount this year the work would
have gone forward much faster,
Mr.. Hardy said, as many additional
contracts could have been let.
Work of tunneling Dalecarlia Hill
will be pushed, beginning the end
of the month. A large percentage
of filling in valley at bridge No.
has been done during the winter
months.
The conduit, which will run from
Great Falls to Dalecarlia, a dis
lance of nine miles, will more than
double the water supply of the Dis
trict. In connection with this there
are to be erected a filtration plant
and two reservoirs. A piping system
from the conduits to the reservoirs
and into the city are also included
in the project.

lst3 - f-
Congressional appropriations for
the coming fiscal year do not indi-
cate that there will be any ma
terial reduction Of the number Of
Federal employees in Washington.
There were 1890 Government
workers in the city on january
81, according to the most recent
figures published in the Civil
Service Commission.
Doubt Any DefIatiOn.
"A preliminary study or the appro-
priation bill does not indicate that
there will be any substantial della
ton during the fiscal year Of 1924.
Whatever reductions there VIII be
ln certain departments will be offset
BY necessary increases In others.

or Agriculture Wallace, Is to be sub

or the Internal Revenue Bureau also

lieved the Veterans Bureau win be
compelled to increase its force be-
cause OF the insistent demand that
It's cases be more expeditiousIy
handled.
On Postwar Basis.
Civil Service Commission experts
believe that the roster OF Govern.
ment workers in the District OF
Columbia is~now stabilized on q, post
war basis There is 20 per cent
increase over the Government reg
lister In the last pre-war year, 1918,
which showed 39,442 employees.
During the war there were more
than 10000 Federal workers in the
city.
The statement issued recently by
the White House showing that Fed.
eraI employees have been reduced by
SS,792 in the past two years is
vigorously disputed in Democratic
circles. The figures are said to be
entirely misleading, inasmuch as
they include common laborers who
were employed in the shipyArds,
arsenals, and supply depots before
the naval scrapping program went
into effect.
The Civil Service Commission sta
tistics does not show any such large
reduction in the number OF classi-
fled and unclassified employees. The
report of the commission indicates
that on July 1, 1921, the total num-
Der Of Federal employees, both in
the field and in the District, was
SGT ,483, and a year later the mum.
Der was 560.S63, or a reduction OF
less than 81 900 for the entire year.
Analysis Of Appropriation.
In January of the current year
there were 542,513 employees, show.
ing a reduction of about $4,000 for
the preceding six months. On the
basis Of these figures strong ex-
ception 10 taken to the White House
statement.
An ANALYSIS of the appropriations
Tor the coming fiscal year shows
that for the $24O bonus for Federal
employees, $35, S11 1893 was appropri.
ated, compared with the sum of $685..
735,173, or q decrease of nearly
$4,000, 900. Members of the Senate
Appropriations Committee explain
this on the basis of the reduction
in the number OF field employees
There has been virtually no reduc.
ton in the bonus for Federal workers
in the District in the past year, 1t ia
