night and then for the first time
some idea can he reached of the
amount of the estimates.
1t has been estimated that the
requests submitted by department
heads totaled approximately SAC, O01,-
900.
1t is anticipated that this total
will be reduced 25 per cent by the
Commissioners before the estimates
are sent to the Budget Bureau Mon
day or Tuesday.
The Commissioners began their
work today by considering the
estimates for the public library
system.
Officials of the central and branch
Libraries were in conference with the
commissioners during the morning.
$1O,O0O,O 900 For Schools
The public school estimates, total.
ing approximately $500 900, have
already been cut to approximately.
$l0,Op0,OO0, it Is indicated. The
Commissioners, however, are under.
stood to have stood firm on a num-
Der of increases in the school ap.
preparations. The 100000 est.
mate for the purchase of school and
playground sites and erection of new
buildings probably will be slashed
heavily, with Fairgrounds and new
buildings as sufferers.
The Commissioners probably will
leave the items for purchase of sites
intact.
The request Of school officials for
an increased repair fund probably
Will be needed and the full item of
S5OO,OOO asked may be retained. The
current appropriation for this pur-
pose was 100000
100000 for Books.
The Commissioners also are ex.
pected to retain the full $500, 900
asked for purchase of new text
books for the public schools, an in.
crease of $125,OOO over the current
appropriation.
The estimates probably will in.
clude greatly increased items for the
sewers and for an improved street
lighting system. These items are,
being urgently supported by En-.
glneer Commissioner ]. Franklin
Bell, 1t is understood.
me Police and Fire departments.
1t is said, have also requested in.
creased appropriations.
Two new police precinct houses
are badly needed and the Fire De.
partment needs two new station
houses and a number of piece of
new apparatus.

Commissioners Decide Lump
Sum Appropriation Unfair
to Taxpayers
Continued from Page 49,

of the National capital, leaving the
District taxpayers to shoulder the
remaining 70 per cent.
AS result Of this change an
increase of the local tax rate from
S.2O to $1.40 per 500 of value
has already been necessitated.
1t is the avowed intention of
the Congressional group which
brought~about abolition of the 60-4O
plan. to further increase the Dis
trict tax rate, which they consider
far too low, by further decreasing
the lump sum appropriation and in
other ways shouldering the burden
on the District taxpayers.
Shaping Years Estimates.
The District Commissioners, hav.
ing decided upon the 6O-4O plan,
are now engaged in shaping the
District estimates for the coming
fiscal year on that basis.
They are materially reducing the
estimates submitted by the various
departments of the local govern.
ment to conform with the plan and
are confident that when they have
completed their work they will be
able IS submit a set of estimates
which will meet with the conserva.
tive ideas of members of Congress.
While numoer of large items
already have gone by the board, the
Commissioners are still firm in their
intention to request appropriations
which will place the public schools
on a sounder basis, and TO push 10
a conclusion such vitality needed
projects as the three-sewer inter-
ceptors and the new conduit TO re.
place the outWorn source of the
city's water supply
I 1t has been indicated that the
proposed addition to Gallinger Hos
pital. of contagious disease yard,
At a cost of $3.50, 900, will be one
of the first projects eliminated from
the estimates.
Other items which the Commits
sioncrs are understood to have
dropped from the estimates include
a proposed appropriation of $50O, 900
requested by the school board for
urchase of school Fairgrounds and
appropriations totaling nearly ST..
10000 for two new junior high
school buildings.
Figures About Ready.
The Commissioners have been in
session between six and eight hours
daily each day this week wrestling
with the estimates.
They expect to have the estimates
ready for the adding machine to.
