45,284,317 GIVEN DISTRICT
IN HOUSE APPROPRIATION BILL

the hearings, the upshot being
that the committee inserted legis-
lation in the bill to curb the
Board Of Education in its pur-
chases as follows:
mo money appropriated in this
act for the purchase Of furniture
and equipment for the public
schools Of the District Of Colurn-
bia shall be expended unless the
acquisitions Of the Board Of Edu.
cation therefore shall be approved
by the Commissioners Of the Dis
trict."
Other high lights Of the bill,
report and hearings as presented
to the House include:
The measure was drafted by a
subcommittee comprising Chair
man Simmons, Nebraska: Repre-.
sentatives Holiday, Illinois;
Thatcher, Kentucky; Cannon,
Missouri, and Collins, Mississippi,
and was approved by the full
Appropriations Committee today.
Hearings continued for three
weeks, behind closed doors, and
brought to the Capitol the heads
OF all District departments and
their numerous assistants.
Tax Cut Forbidden
Provision is made that the pres.
ent real estate and tangible prop
erty tax rate Shall not he re-.
duced during the next fiscal
year." The Federal Government
contribution to the total of the
bill remains at 100000.
An allowance of $4,000 is made
to provide suitable sheds and
facilities for farmers retailing
farm produce at the Eastern and
Western markets.
The estimate Of 100000 for
the Farmers Produce Market
site and building was cut to
$250,000 because the committee
inserted a stipulation that In
acquiring the land no price shall
be paid Ito exceed 1875 per cent
OF its assessed value" The COM
mlttee thinks this will make the
land cost not more than $174,71O,
with $4,000 more for erection
Of the market.
More p. u. G. Jobs
In view Of increase in the work
Of the Public Utilities Commits
sion six new positions are author
zed, as recommended, the years
total appropriated being $92,620.
The committee also approved
$10,520 more for the office of the
Corporation Counsel, $500 of
which is to engage a special
assistant who is an expert in
public utility matters. Small addi.
tions to the force of other de-
partments, including the high
ways department; the sewer de-
partment; the trees and parking
division and the tax assessors

proposal that civilians replace

plications IN the Traffic Bureau.

Following rather closely the
estimates, except that there were

But few salary boosts in the
District government, except auto

committee cut out about 100000
for additional salaries next year,
saying in its report:

"After making a comparison
with the employees in the execu-
tive departments, the committee
was Of the opinion that the muni-
cipal employees Of the District

Of about $735,000.

In reporting the bill today the
committe emade public a volume
of Ito pages, the printed steno-
graphic transcript of the testi.
1nony given by District officials
in explanation of the estimates
and prior expenditures. This
shows that the Simmons subcom

was particularly critical Of the
purchasing system in the public
school system, Chairman Sim
mons charging that there has
been "a wild expenditure Of pub
lie funds in the school system. u
Several dozen pages in the
hearings were given to heated dis
cussion Of the purchase of four
high-priced grand pianos for the
Mckinley High School at a total
cost Of $5,418. Chairman Sim
mons charged that the Board ot
Education, Superintendent Bal
lou, Major Wilmarth and Other
officials were responsible for buy
ing the most expensive pianos or
the market, whereas in some
schools pupils were using second

world. virtually every Latin Amer

according to an announcement ny

United States Bureau of Publle
Roads and secretary general of the
American organization commission
for the congress.
Already nine of the 20 Latin
American countries that are mem
bcrs of the Pan American Union
have announced officially they will
be represented by special delega'
tions. Only one country, Near
aqua, has definitely declined.
Ever since it was known that the
congress would hold its sixth ses-
sion in the United States those. in
touch with the situation have had
in mind the. aim of making the
congress appeal especially to coun-
tries of the western hemisphere.
The first step in this direction was
to make Spanish ono of the OFFICIAL
languages of the congress and as
result reports and other matters
printed for the delegates are beng
prepared in Spanish, French, Ger
man and English. This care to make
the congress of particular interest
to Latin Americans is most recent
