All trees removed during street
widening projects win be replaced,
even at the sacrifice of the care of
other trees, it was announced today
by Capt. III. C. Whitehurst, assistant
District Engineer Commissioner.
The announcement was provoked
by a statement of Clifford Lanham,
superintendent of trees and parkings,
that he would be unable to replace
the trees to be destroyed on Fifteenth
street this week, preparatory to the
widening of that thoroughfare, be-
cause of the lack of funds.

BUDGET BUREAU
CHANGES URGED
Plan to Broaden Powers and
Make Agency Independent to
Be Advocated in Congress.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

Removal of the Budget Bureau from
its technical status as e, service in the
Treasury Department, giving it le-
gal status to conform to it's working
status as a direct agency Of the
President and making it a bureau of
general administration. is one of the
specific recommendations for i'm
provement of the National Budget
system that are awaiting the return
Of Congress.
This proposed broadening of the
Budget Bureaus jurisdiction would in
clude:
a. Abolition of the Bureau of Eff
cheney and the transfer of it's duties
to the Budget Bureau.
(2) Transfer of the general supply
committee from the Treasury Depart
ment to the Budget Bureau.
(3) Abolition. of the Public Buildings
Commission and the transfer of its
duties to the Budget Bureau.
(4) Transfer of certain executive
powers of the joint committee on
printing to the Bureau Of the Budget,
SO as to restrict the Jurisdiction of the
committee to the operation of the
Government Printing Office as print
ing plant.
(5) Relief of the director of the Bu-
reau of the Budget from participation
in the work of the Personnel Classifi-
cation Board.
Institute Makes Study.
These recommendations are made
by the Institute for Government Re-
search, which helped probably more
20 anU n0n.unUarnronnA I in
establishing the budget system, and
are based on long, careful. detailed
study by DIR. William F. Willoughby,
director of the institute.
AS q background 1t must be under
stood that the budget and accounting
act Of 1921 and the radical changes
in the House and Senate rules of pro-
cedure governing the handling of
financial proposals so as to bring them
into harmony with the new budget
system had these effects:
They revolutionized the whole sys-
tenn of financial administration of the
Federal Government, and. indeed,
they have affected profoundly the
political system itself
They have brought about the great
est change in the character of the Of
flee of the President since the first or.
ganization of the Government.
Have Changed Relations.
They have made radically different
the relations between the President
and the Congress on the one hand
and the administrative departments
and establishments on the other.
In the purely administrative field
they have changed a condition of af-
fairs where the individual services to
large extent went their own way,
considered only their own interests,
and paid little regard to general
needs, to one where they are sub
ject to that measure Of central direc-
tion, supervision and control that is
essential in order to insure subor-

ests, a coordination OF efforts and
