FIGHT FOR ADDED
CITY FUNDS OPENS
Story of City Grown Out of
Proportion to Appropriation
UnfoIded. {

The stoFysofa city that has grown
out of all proportion to its available
funds was unfolded to COMMITTEES Of
budget bureau officials by the District
Commissioners today, when they went
to the Treasury Department in sup
port Of next years estimates.
The Commissioners sought to show
the budget authorities with facts and
figures that IL the limitation OF $685.
144,Ss2 PLACED on National Capital ex-
nenditures stands, there will be little
new work. done in the District next
year.
The aim of the Commissioners In
these hearings is to convince Gen.
Lord that the supplemental estimates
amounting to s7.1o3.0S4, should be
approved,
Here are some of the salient points
the local officials will develop in the
course of the hearings, which are ex-
pected to last for two or three days:
That the sum of approximately
100000 left in the regular estimates
for school construction work will only
allow for the completion of buildings
already authorized. To Offset this
condition the city heads have asked
for 81 100000 in the supplementals fol
additional buildings.
That only few hundred thousand
dollars has been left in the regular
estimates for new street paving
which will not begin to take care OF
the urgent work. If the supplemental
street item should be allowed the city
would have slightly more than $1,000
600 for that purpose.
That the sewer and water depart
ments are far behind the demand for
extension of mains to furnish sani-
tary facilities for new houses rapidly
being erected.
1t is expected that IL the budget
ofhcials decide they cannot raise the
limit on the regular estimates they
may endeavor to eliminate some OF
the items on the regular list in order
to make place for urgent requests on
the supplemental list.
District officials point out, how
ever, that there are no non-essential
items In the regular estimates, and
that such a revision would merely
mean the sacrificing of one important
appropriation to authorize another.
Commissioner Oyster, it is under.
stood, will appeal to the budget
authorities to allow items for more
motor apparatus for the fire depart
ment, additional men for the police
department. and higher salaries for
both services. This police and fire
salary item Is regarded by the Com
missioner as imperative in view OF
the fact that the uniformed forces
will lose the bonus next year, with.
out receiving the benefits of reclassi.
fcation in its place.

BERLIN, October 12.-Chancellor
Stresemann has proceeded to dicta-
torial measures without awaiting the
reichstag's authorization. Thus he
reveals a combination OF tenacity and
resourcefulness not exhibited by any
other German statesman for many
years.
Taking his stand on the general
provision of the German constitution
permitting the president to authorize
exceptional measures in an emer-
gency, the chancellor goes directly to
the heart of the nations troubles by
demanding the payment of taxes on
a gold-mark basis. at the same time
simplifying Germany's topheavy tax
system.
He makes the necessary conces-
sions to the powerful indnstrfaltsts
by renting the present 40 per cent
coal tax, but at the same time de-
mands a corresponding lowering of
internal coal prices.
Coal at s25 Ton.
The price of coal now is paralyzing
German production and German
household life. Coal today costs $40
a ton. On this basis Industry cannot
operate. Hence, mass unemployment
threatens to continue its inroads ON
state funds indefinitely and delay the
stabilization Of the currency.
Chancellor Stresemann has politely,
but effectively. declared ais inde-
pendence of parliament and said to
the German people:
'T am determined to do the neces-
sary things by any legal means IN
order to save Germany from catas-
trophe during the coming winter.
Do you dare not support me?"
Hence if the reichstag tomorrow re-
fuses to grant his special dictatorship
law Chancellor Stresemann VIII. de-
clare the reichstag's usefulness nm
ished, and will continue to dictate un-
der the general constitutional au-
thority with President Ebert's ap-,
proyal.
Rebel Troops Freed.
An amazing sequel to Mondays trial
at Cottebus, where the troops which
made an armed attack against the
state at Kuestrin were liberated and
given money, was made known today,
when the fact was established that
their leader, Maj. Buchrucker, also
had been released and given posi-
ton in the ministry of national de-
fense All the other officers involved
either have been released or VIII be
freed soon.

REDDING, Caiif., October IA
The wooded peaks Of the siskiyous,
on the border between Oregon and
California, are believed to shelter a
little group of men who late yester-
day held up Southern Pacific train

mail clerk and caused injuries to
about a score of passengers through
an explosion whereby they forced
their way into the mail car. They
got no loot.
Posses from Oregon and California
counties fare seeking them. Among
the possemen are Oregon national
guardsmen.
Shot In Cold Blood.
From all available indications, the
trainmen were shot down in cold
blood because they recognized the
robbers, whom officials believe are
former railroad employees, or men
familiar with the operation of trains
and with the country around tunnel
