ECONOMY in
GOVERNMENT
CHIEFS aim

WASHINGTON, Aug. l8.-P)-
Pres. Hoover will have laid before
him % the results Of the latest
effort Of federal departments to
enforce rigid economy in govern
ment operation.
Cabinet members and agency
chiefs have submitted TO the bu-
reau of the budget reports on the
amount Of money remaining from
appropriations for preceding years
and for the present fiscal year
along with estimates OF current
needs.
Garry Out Request
In making these reports, govern
ment officials are carrying out Mr..
Hoover's request to reduce ex-
penditureS where possible in view
OF the declinig federal revenues
and the large treasury deficit.
After holding conferences with
cabinet members in May and June
on economy methods, the chief
executive demanded in July that
they eliminate or postpone all ac-
tivities such as may be so treated
without serious detriment TO the
public welfare"
The reports are to be studied by
Director Roop OF the budget before
being sent to Mr.. Hoover TO deter
mine how far expenditures are run
ming ahead OF treasury receipts.
Pres. Hoover warned in his july
letter that expenditures we're great
or during the first few days OF the
new fiscal year than those Of last
year. when a total OF S4.2l9.950 was
expended. He had expected that
$780, 900. 900 would be saved as a
result Of his conferences with de-
partment heads but noted that as
a result OF increased appropriations
heavy dema DIS we're being made on
the treasury.
situation Serious
Impressing the officials with the
urgent need for economy, Mr..
Hoover told them the governments
financial situation was serious.
The government ended the fiscal
year July | with a 1908, 10000
treasury deficit. In the six weeks
since then a new deficit Of $340,-
3el.i53 has materialized. IL repre-
sen.s an outlay or about sli5.0OO. 900
in excess OF expenditures for the
same period last year.
In the new year. the treasury
has collected sl6l .936. 34l and has
expended $500. 327, AGA. Income taxes,
which fell off $3.50, 1000. 900 last
lear. have continued their decline,
with 500 .6l3, 1870 being collected in
the last six weeks compared with
s78.0s7, 1875 in the same period last
