DISTRICT HEADS
PLEAD FOR FUNDS
Commissioners Argue With
Budget Officials to Maintain
Budget Requests.

The District Commissioners went
before the bureau of budget today in
an effort to obtain more liberal al
lowances' in the next District appro-
priation bill for new school houses
for increasing the city's water sup
ply, purchase of parks and similar
projects for the upbuilding of the
National Capital.
The city heads. assisted by their
subordinates, expect to spend several
days in testifying in support of their
request for a budget of s36,500, ,0o0
for next year.
The budget bureau has fixed a ten
tative limit of S31 1.551,5c5 on District
estimates. but has conceded the Com
misSioners the opportunity of argu-
ing for the additional s5,00O.000, which
the city fathers regard as essential
This $4,000, 900 list of supplemental
items is understood TO include about
100000 for school building in addi-
tton TO school construction work left
in the regular estimates.
sI.sOO.OOO for Water Conduit.
One Of the largest items in the sup
plementals is s1.000,000 for speeding
up work on the new water conduit
from Great Falls TO relieve the strain
on the single pipe line which now
conveys all of the water for the Dis
trict of Columbia. There is slightly
less than s1.000.000 for the water
conduit in the regular estimates. If
the supplemental request is granted
there would be nearly $4,000. 900 avail
able for continuing work on the con-
duit next year.
Several new buildings at the Gallin-
ger Hospital, a freproof structure for
the recorder of deeds and two new
police stations also are being asked
for in the supplemental list.
An equally important item in the
600 for the National Capital Park Com
mission to begin the execution of its
plan for the enlargement of the park
system of the city. This park item is
said to be divided between the regular
and supplemental lists.
Pay Increase Raises Amount.
The estimates for next year reach an
aggregate far above those of last year,
but since then police, firemen, school
teachers and other employees have been
granted pay increases aggregating more
than s2,500,000 so that all of the in
crease does not represent new conStruc-
tion work.
Those who went to the Budget Bureau
today were Commissioners Rudolph,

heads will be called to explain the de-
