Expert Completes
 Work At
 Controllers Office

An expert accountant and federal examiner, M. J. Racioppi, has been at work in the office of the controller, Arthur D. Mullen, at City Hall, for the past three weeks. He completed his examination today of the various funds and accounts over which the controller has supervision, and ex- pressed himself as well pleased with the condition of the accounts and the facility with which he was able to gather his statistics for the U. s. Bureau of the Census. which depart ment he represents.
 MT. Racioppi said in part: "The controllers office with it's vast amount of detail presents to me an interest ing study. In many cities the exam iner must wade through this vast maze of figures to secure his data Not so with New Haven. The items here are carefully segregated, and even one without a knowledge of ac- counting procedure can easily arrive at results htere. I am well pleased with my visit to New Haven. 1 would place New Haven as a first class city in municipal accounting"
 Mr. Racioppi came here from the capitol at Hartford, where he has just finished his work in the offices Of the state controller and state tax com missioner He expressed his appre- citation of the courtesy and assistance afforded him by Mir Mullen and his office force.

SHERR|LL AFTER
MORE FUNDS
FORPARkS
Public Buildings and Grounds
officer to Argue D. c.
Roadways' Need.

Lieut.. Col. C. o. Sheriff., officer in
charge of public buildings and
grounds, appeared yesterday after
noon before the Director of the
Budget to argue the case Of Wash
ington against orders to reduce es-
Inmates for needed developments of
parks and roadways in the fiscal
year 1925.
For. several years Colonel Sher.
rill's office has been conducted, only
on a maintenance basis. Extension
of the system OF parks and road
ways has been sought at each session
of Congress, but precepts Of economy
have kept appropriations pared to
the bone. In common with munich
pal developments in the District such
extensions have found the cold Shout
der Of the legislators turned upon
them.
Colonel Sherrill's estimates, re-
Gently submitted to the Budget Blu
reau, called for funds for nothing
more than essential works Of main
tenance and extension. Nevertheless,
Director Lord ordered many items
deeply cut, just as vas the case with
the District estimates. Colonel Siler-
rill will do all in his power to secure
q restitution of the sums ordered
Topped off, and, in addition, will
hand in supplemental estimates, as
did the Commissioners last week.
The District estimates and those he
will argue today will go to Congress
simultaneously
Among the~items for which funds
are sought from the next Congress
are the following: Purchase Of land
in the Rock creek parkway, main
tenance of this parkway, acquisition
of the Klingle Ford, Piney Branch
and Patterson tracts, upkeep and
of Meridian Hill Park,
widening of the bridge over the Tidal
Basin inlet, and effecting the juno
ton of West Potomac and Rock
Creek parks along the creek valley.
According to Colonel Sheriff., his
office has only been holding its
own" for several years in the mat
ter Of keeping up parks and roads.

FILIPINO TRADE
MAY HELP j. s.
SHIPPING
Their Congress Considers Re-
quest That cargoes Be Given
to American Vessels.
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.


The new Filipino Congress. now
in session, may ask the United
States to declare that all. the goods
between this country and the. Philip.
pines must be shipped in the future
exclusively in American ships. ac-
cording to advices received here.
BY a single stroke of the pen,
$50,000,000 worth Of shipping now
carried every year In foreign ships
can be turned over to the American
merchant marine. President Cool
idge has that authority. The Fiji
pinos will ask that they be pro,
tected against high rates from cer-
tain American shippers who might
use such a monopoly to exploit the
shippers.
Filipinos here say they hope Gem
oral Wood will go forward with his
alleged plans to tour this country
on the Philippine situation. Presi-
dent Quezon Of the senate, Speaker
Roxas Of the house and the other
Filipino leaders would then be urged
to come here and lay the cause OF
the Philippines before the American
public, who then would have the
facts to Judge whether General
Wood IL justified In his alleged at
tempt to deliver the Filipino gov
err ment's profitable business enter
prfses, including its railroads, to pri-
vate business interests.
