projects; $4,000 for geological surveys,
100000 for fundamental research, for
/ the first time provided for in separate
| item, and $685. 900 for gauging streams
| and water supply Investigations. The
increase recommended by the committee
is in part accounted for by the trans
fer of $150,000 for printing from the
| general department printing appropri-
alton. The committee does recommend,
however, an increase of $4,000 above
the Budget estimate, which was itself
| $4,000 above the current year for water
supply investigation, in order that the
Federal Government may be in a posi-
ton to properly match funds offered by
the states and municipalities for CO.

OF $8,070,935 for the National Park
Service, which is an increase of $474,-
s95 above the appropriation for the cur
rent year, the constant expansion of IA
cllltleS and operation costs by reason
OF constant increase in attendance at
the parks is responsible. The bill is
S3l8,420 above the Budget estimate;
$4,000 of the increase in the salaries for
the directors office is due to the reclas-
sitication of the bureau since the salary
estimates went to the Budget; $4,000 of
the increase in this salary item and the
$4,000 increase above the Budget in the

order to make 1t possible for the Ma
tional Park Service to make careful
study OF areas proposed for national
parks or national monuments and of
proposed changes in boundaries of such

tee proposes an increase of $243, 500 for

The committee recommends that
100000 of the amount heretofore ap-
propriated and unexpended for pur-
chase of privately owned lands in the
national parks be authorized to be used
for the payment in full of the purchase
price of any of said lands, such amount
to be matched by subsequent donations.
The fiscal year 1881, under the terms
OF the bill as recommended by the COM
mittee, will see for the first time in eff
fective operation the program of SIS, 000.-
600 per year for construction of roads
and trails in the national parks.
The committee recommends an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for construction
of the Sinnott Memorial Rest at Crater
Lake National Park, honoring the men,
DRY of the late Nicholas j. Sinnott,
for many years chairman of the COM
mittee on public lands of the House and
a noted champion of the preservation
and development of national parks.
The bill as reported proposes an in
crease of $474,19 for the Bureau of
Education. This increase is caused by
an increase of $50 1000 in the appropri-
alton for investigation of secondary edu-
cation and new item of $4,000 for
investigation of teacher training, as we'll
as material increases in the items for
education and medical relief of the ma
tiveS of Alaska. The budget recon-
mendS an increase of SPAS, 290 for edu-
cation of the natives of Alaska and the
committee recommends in addition to
this an appropriation of 500, 1865 for new
construction and additional facilities for
this purpose. For medical relief for
the natives of Alaska the budget recon-
mends an increase of $96,981 and the
committee recommends an additional
increase Of $75,361.
The decrease of $124,600 for govern
ment in the Territories, as compared
with the fiscal year 1881, is caused by a
decrease of 100000 in the appropria-
ton for operating deficit for the Alaska
Railroad and $4,000 in the appropria-
ton for care of Alaska insane. This
decrease Is in part Offset by the appro-
priation of $4,000 for legislative ex-
penSeS for Alaska and $4,000 for legis-
lative expenses of Hawaii, appropria-
tons which only appear biennially.
