submitted by heads of the various
departments, calls for $56,50O 900.
Unless the city heads plan to
waise the tax rate for 1881, District

elared, the budget must be cut
down to approximately $4S,552 900.
D This was the figure set for 1881 in

SENATORS
APPROVE
MOVE

Investigation of local realty
and finance corporations by
the Senate District Committee
is virtually assured, Senator
Smith ". Brookhsrt, author
of a resolution proposing such
an inquiry, indicated today.
Senator Brookhart said he had
spoken to all but one of the mem
bers of the banks and insurance sub.
committee of the Senate District
Committee, which has the resolution
under consideration, and was i'm.
pressed with their attitude in favor
Of the investigation.
Brookhart also revealed that the
Senate judiciary Committee, which
J esterday referred the resolution TO
the District Committee, unanimously
approved the move.
Offer To Aid Probe
Brookhart declared that several
members OF the Senate were deeply
Interested in the proposed investiga-
ton and that several had offered
their services He said that Senator
Porter II. Dale. of Vermont, chair
man of the Civil Service Committee,
was particularly enthusiastic h%
cause of blue sky" stock sales In
his state.
The lengthy memorandum, which
Brookhart prepared for the Senate
judiciary Committee and proposed
to insert in the Congressional Rec
ord, will be withheld for the present,
the Towan said. He stated that ne
would turn over to the subconmit-
tee considerable additional infor-
nation to bear out the charges
made in his resolution. He said
that reputable realty investment
men of Washington have signifiad
bv letter their desire 10 have the
investiga ton held.
Apparently. the Senate and the
honest business men of Washington
are eager to have this matter
thoroughly investigated" Brock
there will he a general cleanup,
because reputable investment houses
do not want the public defrauded
by dishonest practices on the part
of wildcat companies.
To Rewrite Resolution
rnder the terms of the resolution,
az It now stands. the Senate
judiciary Committee. or subcora-
mittee thereof, Is empowered to
make the investigation. However,
Brookhart said, inasmuch as the
Tudieiorx, ron1u1itfea has referred
the matter to the District Com"
mittee, there is every reason to
believe that the District subcon"
mittee will recommend an investiga.
ton by the full District Committee.
This will necessitate rewriting the
resolution.
