COST COMPUTED
Expense of Campaign Fixed
at2.7 Per Cent of Funds
Subscribed.

The Community Chest campaign cost
was only 81 per cent of the amount

for submission by Rudolph Jose, treas
urer, at the annual meeting and elec-
ton of officers of the Community Chest

the inaugural charity ball. which has
not yet been received. The campaign
expenses were $41, 6ss.33.
To the actual campaign expense was
added the sum of $6,185.46, which was
borrowed before January to cover the
cost OF preliminary organization and
preparation in the latter months of 1923.
Comparative Costs Estimated.
1t is estimated that the former aver
age cost of money raising for the 81
separate organizations. now members of
the Community Chest, was at least Is
per cent.
The estimated expense for the re-
mainder of the year is 80 per cent,
bringing the total expenses anticipated
for the year 10 per cent OF the sum
subscribed.
The year-round costs which will be
necessary include the expense OF send
ing acknowledgements and statements to
contributors, keeping lists of givers and
prospective contributors UP to date
posting payments to record cards as re-
ceived, advice to member agencies on
accounting and other problems. year
round information of contributors and
citizens regarding the way their money
is being spent: checking financial yc-
quests of member organizations and
making payments. to them In accord
ance with their budgets; the study of
budgets and preparation of budgets for
the 1890 campaign and year round
preparation for that campaign.
Fund Confinol TO Washington.
Not only was sill the money subscribed
pledged by Westinghouse for the use
of Washington's social agencies, but
also the entire campaign expense was
disbursed to Washingtonians. No COM
missions were paid to outside individ-
uals or organizations.
The expenses of the campaign were
kept as low as they were by the volun-
bdIy StEflCtS Vi UNcI 9,VUU WOlACIo,
serving without charge, and great
factor in the reduced cost was the
loaning of employees by member agen-
cies to serve in secretarial and clerical
capacity for various units and divi-
sions of the campaign, it is explained
1t is expected that the campaign
cost and the year-around cost of oper-
alton can be still further reduced as
Washingtonians become more familiar
with. the Chest plan and give more
readily, it is said.

south of here. If the jam can be blast

here somewhat by releasing water now

suit Of the gorge
Capt. John C. Regain of the Army En-
cheering Corps took charge of an aerial
survey of the gorge in one of the two
Army planes which reached here yes
terday.
Seven other Army planes, including
four bombers, have been ordered here
by the War Department. Four arrived
at Minneapolis late yesterday and three
others we're at Washington. d. c.
Fifty-five tons of explosives are en-
route here by train, but officials fear
they will arrive too late to be of any
benefit in breaking up ice gorges a.
points above Bismarck and Mandan
Three ice gorges in the upper river
broke yesterday and the pressure of
this onrush is expected to cause trouble
when 1t reaches here in a day or two.
The river here rose steadily yester-
