D D HEADS ASK
$3.50 900 FOR
SCHOOL,
Make Another Appeal ID Bud
get Bureau for Part
Of Surplus

For purchase Of school sites, the
District Commissioners today are
submitting to the Budget Bureau
an additional estimate of $3.50, 900,
this item To be added Ia the sS,-
O0O, 900 request now in the hands
Of the bureau. All Of the money
win come out Of the surplus fund.
Decision to allow the Commits
sioners to increase their original
estimate for money out Of the
surplus was reached yesterday 1T
conference between the city
heads and Doctor Frank w. Bal
lou, superintendent Of schools.
Need Of Site Urgent.
The Commissioners convinced the
Budget Bureau OF the need OF the
early purchase Of additional school
sites, pointing out that delay Of
another year would be costly to
the city.
Daniel j. Donovan. DISTRICT aud
itor, and school officials worked
last night preparing the new list
OF sites. It is understood that
about fifteen additional will be In.
cluded in the list.
Congress recently passed a bill
granting the District about 81. 4O0.-
900, this sum credited to the Dis.
trict in the Treasury. The money
is made up Of unexpended taxes.
Recently, the Commissioners sub
mitted to the Bureau estimates
providing for the expenditure Of
about $4,000, 900 Of this amount, all
but 100000, to go for schools and
sites.
Additional Funds Sought.
The additional estimates will
bring the amount TO $3,750, 900.
About $500, 900 still remains in the
fund and will be expended next
year. The $3.50 900, IL approved,
will be made available this spring.
There Is an item OF $4,000 which
will be added to the surplus, Ii the
comptroller of the United States
approves this additional claim OF
the city. This would leave about
81 100000 In the surplus fund.
The estimates for the $8,750, 900
will be submitted to the president
probably Monday, and then for
warded to Congress.
The Commissioners are confident
that the House and Senate will APP
prove the appropriation before
adjourning.
