DISTRICTS BUDGET
READY FOR BUREAU
Maj. Donovan Puts Fund
Estimate Into Final Form
at $46,0O0,OO0.

The Districts unprecedented financial
budget for the 1881 fiscal year was put
in final form yesterday by Maj. Daniel
j. Donovan, auditor and budget officer,
and tomorrow it will be transmitted to
the Budget Bureau by the Commits
sioners.
In accordance with the instructions
Of the Budget Bureau, the Commits
sioners reduced the tentative budget
figure from $48,00o,000 to $4,000, 900
the items represented in the $2,000.000
cut, however. will accompany the regu-
lar budget to the Budget Bureau as
supplemental estimates.
The budget revision, it is understood
did not affect the estimates of the de-
partment heads, as the reductions were
made in the item for the acquisition OF
the remainder of the site for the
municipal center. The last Congress
appropriated $4,000, 900 for the purchase
OF q portion of the municipal center
area, and the tentative estimates of the
Commissioners contained an item OF
$4,000, 900 to complete the purchase.
The Commissioners. 1t was indicated
felt that probable delay in acquiring
the remainder of the site as Is likely
to happen by shifting the land pur-
chase item to the supplemental esti-
mates will not jeopardiZe development
OF the center. The regular estimates. it
was said, contain 100000 for beginning
construction of the first unit. 1t will
be the Courts Building housing the
Police, Juvenile and Municipal Courts
