NEW BUDGET
TO Be READY
jul Y Is
Millions Already Topped Oft.
$54 ,O0O, 900 Total First
Suggested BY Officials

While Congress continues to
dicker with the District apprO-
priation bill for 1881, the District
Commissioners are making rapid
strides in shaping up the 1882
budget for presentation to the

Millions have been Topped off
the $54, 600, 900 total suggested BY
the first estimates returned TO the
District heads by departmental
chiefs.
Schools, according to informa-
tiOn coming out Of the Conmis-
sioners offices will carry the
heaviest part Of the proposed
budget, while streets, police. sew
ers and fire department run III
short ordet.
So far the Commissioners have
interviewed practically all the
heads Of the District departments,
and are now whipping the esti-
mates into final shape. Under
recommendations Of the Citizens
Advisory Committee, other mil
lions. deemed unexpedient, were
cut from the estimates.
1t is the desire of the Com
niiSsioners and their SuhordinateS,
to keep the figure low enough so
that with an expected lump sum
Of $4,000, 900 from the Federal
Government. the tax rate will re-
main at $1.7O.

instrument; Glass Is Firm

In obedience To the Glass reso-
luton u corps of wire men Of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Tele.
phone Company began early TO.
day to remove all dial telephones
Iii the Senate wing Of the Capitol.
According to Capitol telephone
operators this involves approx
mately 500 telephones which must
be replaced by restoration of the
old manual system in lieu Of
what Senator Glass or Virginia
has called the dial system which
makes q Senator q telephone
operator"
Strangely enough ct noon today
the dial phones were stilI In the
office Of Senator Glass, and also
in the office Of Senator Tydings,
Democrat, Maryland. who late yes
terday unsuccessfully urged q
compromise resolution to permit
Senators who like the dial phones
to retain them.
Work Is Done Fast
However. the work Of the local
telephone company was so effici-
ent, 1t was anticipated the old
manual system would be in full
operation within q few hours. At
noon all dial phones had been re-
moved in the Senate District Com
rnittee, the Senate Appropriations
Committee, the Senate Press Gal
lery. and dozens Of Senate Of.
ficeS.
The office Of the Secretary Of
the Senate also was divested Of
its dial telephone early and the
manual system restored and when
the Capitol police at the Senate
wing reported for duty this morn
ing they found the old-fashioned
phones upon their desks.
House Not Affected
The change so far does not
affect the House side Of the Capt.
tol Building, although Representa-.
tive Abernethy, North Carolina.

The Bird

I used to think it q very strange
thing
That a bird in a cage didn't care
to sing;
That it f1uttered about from perch
to tray
And chirped with q note that was
sad ali day.
But bird in a tree that I CHANGED
to climb
Told me the reason without any
rhyme.
He hoped on the branches and
sang to me
OF the great, glad joy Of being free.
He sang Of the sea and the whole
wide earth;
Of the trees and the space and a
wee birds birth.
He flew straight up where the
clouds floated by
And freshed his wings in the soft,
blue sky.
And l knew when 1 saw him a
speck in the blue,
And heard all the joy that he sang
of, too,
That he'd told me the secret with
out any word;
A cage, oh, cage-hasnt room for
q birdl
