head. no part of which is chargeable
to federal revenues. The policemen
and firemens relief fund is made up
of fines imposed upon members of
the police and fire departments by
way of dicipline: rewards, gifts and
emoluments received for extraordi
nary services; a deduction of l " per
cent Of the monthly salary of each
member of the said departments; dona-
tions and net proceeds of sale OF un-
claimed property. Prior to Septem-
ber / 1915, the fund also was credited
with police court fines, which con-
tributed in a large measure to it's
resources. While denied by law the
right to continue so to apply such
receipts. all such fines continued until
the close of the fiscal year 1922 to be
credited solely to the District of
Columbia, and Therefore still con-
tributed, though Indirectly, to any
deficiency in the policemen and fire.
Under the terms of the District
of Columbia appropriation act for the
fiscal year 1923 40 per cent Of all
receipts from Police Court fines are
required to be credited to the United
States and the committee feels that
by reason of this division of such
receipts there is merit in the conten-
tion of the District authorities that
the United States should contribute
in the proportion of 40 to 90 to the
expenditures properly chargeable to
this fund. and that is what the COM
mittee is proposing to do. 1t is also
proposing. in harmony with the bud
get recommendation, to raise the rate
of deduction from the monthly salary
of each member of the police and fire
departments to he credited to the
fund in question from 1i2 to gig per
cent. The latter rate corresponds
with the rate assessed against fed
eral employees on account of retire
ment.

In some instances temporary COW
cring had been applied which re-
moved the urgent aspect. while in
others development was still under
way or was not complete, and such
projects, it is felt, might go over
another year. Several items in

which, while admittedly desirable,
are neither pre- sing nor necessary.
THE outlying sections Of the city

before and are largely responsible for
the new pavement items proposed in
this bill.
Included in the committees pro-
posals, but not included in the bud
get, is an appropriation of $4,000 for
increasing from forty to eighty feet
the width of 18th street northwest
item of prime Importance to abutting
property owners or tenants of such
property. it is also Il project that will
greatly benefit traffic conditions, and
in a section it is submitted where
relief is badly needed. The item is
urged by the Thirteenth Street Bust
ness Mems Association, which has
proposed that abutting property own
ers be charged with 40 per cent of
the entire cost, and the appropriation
proposed provides for such "A distribu-
ton OF the expense. Under the law
abutting property owners would be
assessed for but 25 per cent of the
cost, excluding street intersections.
For repairing streets, avenues and
alleys an appropriation of S550,000
is proposed, contrasted with a like
amount for the current year and the
budget estimate of 100000. This ex-
cludes repairs to streets in the out

ADD TWENTY POLICEMEN.
Appropriations Reject Proposal for
Five on Horse, However.

For the police department the ap-
preparations proposed accord with the
budget estimates, with the exception
OF she request to provide an allow
ance for five additional members of
the force to be mounted on horses.

should be to diminish rather than in

average number on special duties,

troll force is 5So men. This numper T
divided into three shifts gives 1S5
men for policing a territory OF sixty
nine square miles.
Under the fire department the COM
mittee is recommending the buoset
estimate for personnel, which Allows
for four additional privateS To take
the places of four privates to be pro-
NOTED to the grade of sergeant For
repairs to apparatus the amount pro-
posed, while apparently the same as
the current appropriation, IN reallty
is an increase OF $1,000, because of
the current appropriation an amount
in the sum stated was set aside eX-
clusive1y for the purchase of gas
masks. For hose. the committee is
proposing an increase of $4,000 over
the current appropriation, which is
$5 900 less than recommended in the
budget For new apparatus the ap-
propriations proposed total $4,000.

equipment. The entire department is
now motorized, and it is now mat

amount of appropriate reserve ap-

The committee is proposing appro-
prfations for a new engine and a new
truck house TO be established in sec
tions considered too remote from like
apparatus now called upon TO serve
such localities. The truck house is
intended to he built in the vicinity of
