BUDGET To

Millions to Be Taken Off Esti-
mates Sent ln-cooIidge's
Economy Policy Followed

By ROBERT S. THORNBURGH
Plunging into ''battle for the
taxpayers" General H. M. Lord,
director of the budget, started to-
day the job of preparation of
estimates calling for Government
expenditures of approximately
$500, 600, 900 for the year end
ing June 80, 1927.
Preliminary budget estimates
will be about 1920, 100000 under
expenditures to be made during
the present year. Under Presi-
dent Coolidge's plans Government
costs for 1927 will be lowest for
any year since the war.
Larger Cut Probable
Although the present estimate of
General Lord fixes the 1926 surplus
at $3.50, 200, 900. tax returns, heavier
than were anticipated, are expected
to place the Treasury in a position
to recommend a tax reduction OF
from $3.50. 000, 900 to $500, 000, 900
when Congress meets in December.
If the Administration succeeds in
reducing expenses In 1927, it is pos
sible that the Seventeen Congress
may be asked to cut taxes again,
according to Treasury officials.
Preliminary estimates of the pro-
posed expenditures of the various
Government departments for 1927
already are in the hands of the
budget director
1t was understood that estimates
exceed the LOO. 000, 900 limitation
set on expenditures by several mil
lion dollars. necessitating the liberal
use of Lords pruning knife to
hew them down.

appear before the rating bureau Of

month. at which time the entire
situation will be laid before the
bureau.
The association, said Mr.. Doyle.
after a careful survey of the county,
is of the opinion the county has
outgrown the fourth-class rate that
now prevails.
With the establishment Of els
terms for fire purposes and with a
fire department not equalled by any
suburban section and which in
cludes four combination bumpers
and chemical engines, the county
is well protected against fire.

court, yesterday that Harry F..
Byrd carried the county by twenty

More than $4,000, 100000 for
home building is the figure esti-
mated for 1925 by the Indiana
Limestone Quarrymen's Associa-

"A continued housing shortage
remains acute in cities of over
100000 population and in the
smaller communities of 10000
and less" the association says.
".Although more than half the
population of the United States
is still confined in major cities,
the exodus of city jewellers to
the suburbs is dotting the land
scape with new homes of beauty
and distinction.
"That home building on a
