|. BUDGET ESTIMATE
FOR D. c. IN 1882
Report Designed to Justify
Appropriations in Excess
of $4S, 100000.
HEARING OF BUREAU
PLANNED OCTOBER 6
Summary Expected to Show
Financial Ability to Stand
Increase.

A comprehensive report analyzing
the Districts budgetary estimates for
the1932 fiscal year was transmitted to
the Budget Bureau yesterday by Mai.
Daniel ]. Donovan, auditor and budget
officer.
The report is designed to Justify each
OF the various items that make up the
budget which calls for appropriations
in excess of $48,O00,0 900. 1t represents
the final step in the preparation of the
1882 estimates.
Hearings on the Districts budget are
scheduled to begin before the Budget
Bureau October 6. The report will be
used extensively at these hearings to
save the time of department heads OF
the municipal government, who here
tofore have been called before budget
officials to explain the necessity of the
appropriations requested for their re-
spective departments.
The budget in skeleton form has
been before the Budget Bureau since
July is. 1t contained only a list of
the appropriations sought by each of
the municipal government departments
and the purpose for which they would
be used, but did not go into detail
explanation OF the items as does the
report prepared by Maj. Donovan.
In addition to the exhaustive report.
Maj. Donovan has prepared a Condensed
summary of the budget items. which
also shows the prospective financial
condition of the District in the coming

neering Party Going to

A cablegram TO MFR. and Mrs. David

of the biggest undertakings Of his
career-that of heading a surveying
party along 900 miles of territory from
Adds Ababa to Lake Tsana, in far-off
Ethiopia.
Maj. Roberts heads an expedition
representing the firm of ]. G. White
of New York, which has been commits
stoned by the Emperor of Ethiopia to
survey the territory and submit bid
for the construction of a dam to con-
troll the waters of the Nile.
The proposed work was discussed re-
Gently in connection with the announce
ment that an American, Everett Colson,
assistant to the financial adviser TO
Haiti, had been selected by representa-
tives of the Emperor to be financial
adviser to that large African empire.
Leaders of the empire are endeavoring
to break away from medieval past
and establish itself as a progressive,
modern state.
Maj. Roberts, who, as head Of the
surveying party, will contribute toward
the realization of those hopes, has traY-
eled extensively in South America, and
in 1928 was chief topographer with DR..
Roy Chapman Andrews expedition to
the Cobb Desert. He was connected
with the United States Geological Sur
vey for IL years after graduating from
Kansas University and has done sur
vey work in virtually all the States.
Maj. Roberts entered the United
States Army in 1918 as a second lieu
tenant and in France rose to the grade
of major.
