CENTER MARKET
BUDGET SLASHED
Decrease of $1,000 From A.
Iotment of Current Year
Recommended.

For the current expenses of the
Center Market. which IS under the
Department of Agriculture. the bud
get transmitted to Congress today
recommends Sill 900. a decrease Of
So 900 from this years allotment.
The total amount recommended for
st. Eliza he;h's Hospital for the In
sane is SI.159 900. as compd red with
current appropriations of S1.3OS.oo".
The item tor general support of pa
tents from the military services was
reduced from 1910. 600 to SS04 900. The
District estimates provide a separate
fund for the support of patients sent
to the hospital by the city.
For the Columbia institution for
the Deaf the budget recommends the
same amount as for the current year.
namely. S113.400.
The reComme ndation for Howard
University is less than half Of the
current appropriation. due to the fact
that the current act carried 1870 600
for a building. The new budget pro
poses a total of S21S. 900. as against
the current appropriation of s591 900.
For F'reedmens Hospital the new
budget recommends S166.39O. a de-
lotment of S202 $50. Last year there
was an appropriation of $4,000 to re-
model and enlarge the nurses home.
which does not appear in the new
budget The item for personal service
at the hospital is increased from
$50. 900 to S115.496.

MILITIA ESTIMATE
IN BUDGET SMALL
Makes No Adequate Provi-
sion for Rent of Armories .
Here for Guard.

The estimate for the District Of
Columbia Militia in the budget sub
mitted To Congress today is $40 $50.
as compared witil the current appro-
priation % st7.45o an increase OF
400
The estimate leaves the local Ma
tional Guard facing a serious situation
II the beginning Of the neXt fiscal
year. as there is no provision for an
inCrease Sc in the amount tor rental OF
an armory for this orga nization. The
small increase authorized in the esti-
mate over the current appropriation
is for the general expenses of this or
ga MIA ton. The amount for the rental
Of armorieS is $4,000. the same
amount as the current appropriation
The local guard has been notified
to vaCate its present rented quarter;
at 412 l. street northwest on Jun.
30. next. and so far il has been un-
able to find an armory at the present
allowance OF Sc 900 The remainder of
the $40 900 is used TOR the rental
of other and smaller armories. The
Budget Bureau was acquainted with
the situation by Maj. Gen. Anton
Stephan. commanding the District of
Columbia Militia. but apparently. from
the estimates. saw fit to leave it in the
quandary. Efforts had been made to
get local builders interested in putting
Up an armory expressly for the use of
the guard. to be rented. but these
efforts have failed.
Efforts were made to get pro-
vision included in the proposed public
buildings bill for a structure for the
local citizen soldiers. but Senator
Smoot objected to this on the ground
that the armory was distinctly local
proposition. With this situation in
view. it is probable that the local
militia officials will have to make "A
strong fight either to have the esti-
mate in creas sed so that the guard will
have a home after June 80. next. or
to provide funds with which to con-
struct a building especially for it. In
any event, the guard will have to
have quarters while awaiting the erec-
ton of new building. and the only
answer is for Congress to boost the
estimate allowed by the budget.

DR.. Frank w. Ballou. superintende
OF schools. warned. in a brief state
ment today. that the proposed budget
would jeopardize the fve-year building
program. DR.. Ballou commended the
bureau. however. on the large mum.
ber of building items il did approve.
Pointing out that only S2.672. 500
was recommended by the bureau for
school buildings and grounds. little
more than half the amount which
would 'be needed to carry out the
schedule of the tive-year program. Dr..
Ballou said: 1t will he n disa ppoint.
ment To the people of the District that
one-hfth of the building program is
not carried in the 1927 budget
DR. Ballou also expressed diSappoint.
ment that. with an exception or Two.
the items for extension of the school
Fairgrounds We're eliminated from the
bureaus recommendations.
Text Of Statement.
DR.. Eallou's statement follows:
The publication of the budget for
the public schools for 1927 prompts
feelings of satisfaction and also Of
disappointment
The Bureau of the Budget is to he
commended for the Judgment which il
exercised in CARRYING such a large
number of the building items recon-
mended by the Board of Education
within the total amount of money an
propriated for buildings and grounds.
This was done by making an initial
appropriation for beginning the con.
struction of a number of buildings
and providing an obligated appropri-
alton to be carried in s,,hsenuent
budgets.
The total budget for buildings and
grounds is only s2.s72.5 800 A large
part of the proposed appropriation is
to he paid out of the surplus in the
United States Treasury which has
been accredited to the District of Co
lumbla. and only very small part is
to be paid out of District taxation for
the year 1927. 1t will he A disappoint-
ment to the people of the District that
one-f1fth of the tive-year school build
ing program is not carried in the
1927 budget.
Less Than One.fifth Carried.
The significance of this lies in the
fact that less than one-fifth of the
flVe-year program is carried in 1927.
for which year a considerable part of
the uneNpended balance is available
The obligated appropria tions recon-.
mended by the Bureau of the Budget
for 1927 will be the first charge
against the budget for 1928. If the
budget for 1928 is to carry it's part
of the five-year program it must carry
these obligated appropriations in ad-
dition to the S4.000,000 which should
be regularly carried. This will make
a very large appropriation for build.
ings and grounds for the 1928 budget.
when, the unexpended balance ac-
credited to the District of Columbia
will have been exhausted. j..
1T, also is a disappointment that,
with one or two exceptions. the items
for the extension of school play
grounds have been eliminated. I'm.
fortunately, the appropriation for
teachers salaries has likewise, ap.
parently, been considerably reduced.
In general, while the budget for
1927 initiates a fairly satisfactory
building program, this budget does not
carry one-fifth of the f1ve-year pro-
gram, and, hence. places upon subse.
quent budgets an undue portion of
the expense of the fve-year program. +"
