he would announce the makeup OF
his own ticket, the mayor answered:
II have no ticket. Mr.. McCooey
will make whatever announcement
has to be made with respect to that
Until the three borough leaders, con
stituting the majority, have announc

Greater Receipts Contrib
ute to Treasury Hope
for Bigger Cut.
LORD BEGINS FURTHER
EXPENDITURE TRIMMING
Aim Is to Bring Estimate for Next
Fiscal Year to Total of
$3,1oO,OOO,0oo.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
Some Treasury officials now hope to
be able TO recommend tax reduction
of $3.50, 900 or even s40o, 900. 900 to
the next session of Congress.
Heretofore the understanding has
been that $500. 900 900 would about be
the limit of recommended cuts. The
suggestion of greater reduction re-
suited from greater tax receipts this
year than had been expected, together
with a further pairing down of next
years budget.
A budget of $500, 900 900 for the
fiscal year of 1927 now is the aim OF
Director Lord of the Budget Bureau,
who today began preparing the fiscal
program.
The total is about $3.50. 900, 900 less
than the expenditures for the present
year, and on the basis of present fig
ures will be the lowest of any year
since the war.
