There has been no Increase in tho m.
tai number of line officers in the Navv
since aviation became active. The air
force of the Navy has drawn 425 line
officers for duty and by 1892 thew Man

an increase should be made in the

cluded in the above figures which in
the 1929 budget was $74.5OO,000 and in
the 1880 budget is $97. 400 900, the in
crease for 1880 is $3,971, $50. This in
surance fund accrues entirely from
premiums and interest on investment
thereof and no direct appropriation is
necessary. The amount contained in
the budget represents Withdrawals from
the fund for investment and payments
to policy beneficiaries.
The item Salaries and expenses" is
increased $3.500,000 to meet salary in
creases under the act to amend salary
rates, approved May %, 1923, and for
personnel for new hospital facilities to
be provided under the act of May %,
1923. (45 Stat, 715)
The 1880 estimate for printing and
binding is $4,000 less than the apprO-
priation for 1929.
Notwithstanding the estimated addi-
tional amount of $2,500,000 military
and naval compensation. required in
1880 for payments to disabled emer-
gency officers retired under the pro-
visions of the act of May "a, 1928, the
1880 estimate is $3,550,000 less than
the appropriation for 1929. There is a
gradual decrease in expenditures from
this appropriation, and the amount
estimated for 1880 appears ample to
meet requirements.
The appropriation for medical and
hospital services, 1929, is SIS, 900 more
than the estimate for 1880.
The 1880 estimate for military and
naval insurance is $500 900 more than
the appropriation for 1929. A supple
mental estimate for an additional ap-
preparation for 1929 will be necessary.
The act of May %, 1923 CAS- Stat,
715). authorizing the appropriation of
SIS, 100000 for the construction of addi-
tional hospital facilities for the care Of
disabled war veterans, was passed sub
sequent to the submission of the 1929
budget. OF the amount authorized the
second deficiency act of May 20, 1923,
appropriated 100000 for the fiscal
years 1928 and 1929, and the 1880
budget estimates include $6,000,000
more, with request for authority to
incur additional contractual obligations
not to exceed 100000.

Net increase ..........sl7Ss77

Budget estimate for 1880 ........ 58,459,749
Net increase ...............$l 7,S67.739
The net increase of $17,367 .73s for
the department involves an apparent
decrease of $55.500 in the appropria-
tions coming Immediately under the
office of the Secretary. 1t amounts,
however, to an actual increase of $92,-
600 in view of the fact that in the 1929
appropriations for contingent expenses
and for printing and binding there are
included S34,1 and $l14,000, respect
lively, representing needs of the Bureau
of the Census that will be cared for in
1880 in a general appropriation for the
fifteenth decennial census. Further
more, q decrease of $4,000 has been
made possible in the printing item for
the Patent Office due to reduced re-
quirements for 1880. There results,
therefore, substantial increases for con-
tingent expenses and for printing and
binding for the department proper and
$84, 500 for increased rental for the de-
partment building.
The estimate calls for $16,160 less
than the current years availability for
the radio division, which represents
equipments items that will not have to
be provided in 1880.
For aeronautics the estimate SUBJ
mitted is $944,1 60 more than the cur.
rent years appropriation, or from
$5,483,l0O to s6,427. 26O. This Is ne
cessitated by the rapid increase in the
number of airplanes to be Inspected
and pilots and mechanics to be ex-
amined and licensed. The funds. II
provided, will add the requisite inspec-
ton personnel and S planes to the ID
already in use by the inspectors. They
will also make possible the operation
and maintenance of 1852 miles of
lighted airways to be in operation by
June 80 next, as well as the installation
and maintenance of 1000 additional
miles.
Increased estimates In the amount Of
$1O,856 net for the Bureau Of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce as whole,
supplemented by minor reductions in
several individual appropriations of the
bureau, permit an increase Of $4,000
for enlarged activity inthe district of
fee service.
The Bureau Of the Census Is given
an increase Of $16,853,590 over the
total appropriations for the current
year. an increase required by the
enumeration work of the fifteenth de-
cennial census.
Moderate increases are made in esti-
mates for the steamboat inspection
