without debate a resolution offered By
Senator Copeland of New York calling
on the District Commissioners to report
to Congress whether existing regula-
lions in Washington are adequate for

Although the resolution contained no
reference to the disaster in the Cleve-
land Clinic last week. the New York
Senator told his colleagues that since
that tragedy all American cities have
been somewhat concerned over precau-
tionary measures and he thought i
was proper that the Senate should find
out how Washington is safeguarded.
There being no objection, the resolu-
ton was adopted Immediately. It fol-
lows:
Resolved, that the Commissioners of
the District be requested to report to the
Senate regarding the rules and regula-
tons in force requiring the opening out
ward of the doors OF all public buildings,
the application of fire escapes, the care
of explosives and inflammable materials.
and other similar matters relating 10

TASK Of PREPARING
DISTRICTS BUDGET
STARTED BY BOARD
$4,500,0 900 Expected to Be
Cut From $50, 900, 900 Es-
Inmates of Departments.
TWO WEEKS NEEDED
FOR WORK, OFFICIALS SAY
Commissioners First Will Fix
Total, Then Divide Amount
Among Groups.

The task of preparing the Districts
1881 financial budget was started this
afternoon by the Board of Commission
ers and Mai. Daniel j. Donovan, auditor
and budget officer.
The budget will be based on the
recommended needs of the municipal
department heads, whose estimates for
the 1891 year amount to more than
$4,000, 900. The Commissioners are ex-
pected to trim this figure about $4,500,-
900. however, in keeping with the sug-
gestion of Maj. Donovan that the budget
not exceed $48, 100000.
No actual trimming of the depart
mental estimates is expected to be done
by the Commissioners in the initial ses-
sion. It is their intention to first Ak
the amount of the total budget and then
make ALLEGATIONS to the various depart
ments.
School Needs to Be Studied Closely.
Special consideration will be given the
estimates of the Board of Education. 1t
was indicated in view of the recent
agitation to have the school items go
TO the Budget Bureau without molesta-
ton by the Commissioners. While the
Commissioners do not propose to fol-
low such procedure, they plan to re-
turn the school estimates to the board,
if cuts are found necessary. and permit
school officials to make the reviSionS.
The budget-making work will take at
least two weeks, it Is believed at the
District Building. 1t will be done IN a
series of conferences between the Com
miSsioners and the departmental heads.
The first meeting originally was sched-
uled last week, but was postponed on
account of the illness of Maj. Donovan,
whose advice and counsel are regarded
as indispensable. The auditor returned
to his desk this morning and notified
Commissioner Dougherty that he was
prepared to proceed with considera-
ton of the budgetary estimates.
Only Two Copies Available.
Although it had been planned to loan
copies Of the complete estimates of the
department heads to the Citizens Ad-
visory Council. the Board of Trade,
Chamber of Commerce and Merchants
& Manufacturers Association for their
review and recommendations. 1t de-
veloped today that only two copies were
available These were turned over to
the council and the Board of Trade.
It was pointed out at the District
Building that the Advisory Council and
the Board Of Trade were the only or
CARNATIONS that had requested copies
of the 1881 estimates. Dorsey W. Hyde,
secretary of the Chamber of Commerce,
however, said 1t has been the practice
of the Commissioners to send the cham.
Der copy of the estimates without
an annual request.
1t has not been decided what will
be done II the chamber and the Mnr-
chants and Manufacturers Association
insist on copies of the estimates at this
time. In the auditors Office, it was
explained, It would take considerable
time to prepare additional copies.
