a landing may not be construed as

The distance next to that covered

loon Belgica, who landed at Quimper
Brittany, 422 miles from Brussels.
Van Orman's report is awaited
with intense interest by Aero Club
officials here. The first messages
said the American ballonist descended
at sea and was rescued by a German
steamer. This would automatically
have disqualified him. Later reports
however, said he descended on the
deck of the Vaterland
Such landing would be a new thing

NEXT D. c. BUDGET
TO ASK S35,oD0,O(lD
Commissioners Would Trim
Estimates S10,00O,OOO
Conferences Next Week.

Although calculations just com.
pleted show that the original esti.
mates of District department heads
for the fiscal year 1s26-27 exceed S45,.
100000. 1t was reliably stated at the
District Building more than a week
ago that the Commissioners plan to
keep the new budget down to about
s35, 100000.
1t has been known for several
weeks that the sums asked for by the
various division chiefs of the mum.
cipality would be we'll in excess of
$40 ,000,0 900, and tabulations now avail
able show the figure to be 45,45S,1 ,1ss.
This total represents the amount
asked for by the heads of those
agencies that come directly under the
Commissioners. There are several
Federal agencies, such as the office of
public buildings and grounds. which
come under the District budget, and
aggregate may be more than S47,00O,-
900.
Conferences Next Week.
In view of the indications given
more than a week ago that the new
budget will not go much beyond
S35 100000, 1t means the Commits
sioners must pare off items of lesser
Importance to the extent of about
$40 100000. This reducing process
probably will begin at conferences
next week.
Meanwhile the Citizens Advisory
Council is holding executive sessions
In order to determine what figure
they will recommend to the Commits
sioners as a desirable total for the
next budget.
1t Is usual for the preliminary es.
Inmates Of departmental heads to
reach an aggregate far in excess of
the amount the Commissioners feel
justified in recommending to the
Bureau of the Budget This is be.
lieved to be because nearly all de-
partment heads have more worthy
projects in need of attention than
could be provided for in one year.
The task Of the Commissioners Is
to weigh the relative Importance of
the improvements recommended by
all of their assistants and determine
which ones can best be deferred in
order to keep the budget within rea.
sonable bounds.
$35,0O0.0OO An Increase.
Even a Soo,OOU,OUU budget would be
an increase over the last appropria
ton act. Here are some of the prin
cipal sub-totals, as recommended by
department chiefs:
Salaries for general offices, includ
ing the Free Public Library, S1,9S7,.
$50; general, contingent and miscel
laneous expenses, S534,47S; street and
road improvements and repairs, 81 ;,
S97.163; sewers, S2,696,280; collection
and disposal of city refuse and street
cleaning, s1.579. 900; Fairgrounds, s493,
1876; electrical department, S1,146 800
public schools, s13,553,863; Police De
partment, S3.352.620; Fire Depart

corrections, 81 4.191, $40; Water Depart
ment, $1,3S5,970, and trust and specia
funds, $1,629,000.
It has been estimated that SIS, 900,
600 is required for the annual cost OF
operation and maintenance of the Dis
trict government, so that S35 900, ,00(
budget would include S10.000,000 fol-
new projects under the heading o.
