nouncement that broken propeller
was responsible.
Amateur detectives among tho
departments aviation experts dis
covered that while the safety nut
which holds the propeller in place
was still in position after the wreck,
the hub was missing.
II would be impossible to remove
the hub without first removing the
nut they explained. unless the hub
was broken. They then deduced
that, since ice had formed on the
wing, it was reasonable TO assume
it had also formed on the hub.
The report added that lit is pos
sible that a substantial piece of ice
may have broken loose from the
hub and been struck by one of the
propeller blades, resulting in q
breakage of the blade"
Such a breakage would cause q
stress of SO tons. they said. suffi-
cient TO break q wing. Almost SIM

the wing. 1t was reasoned. the hub
broke, releasing the other two
blades of the propeller. Late yes

able to find the three blades or the

The rigid economy advocated by
the President is illustrated by his
reduction of expenditure in the
executive office to the amount
of $44, 900, making the total recon-

SLASHES GIVEN
FAIRGROUNDS

A slash of $21,380 is made in
the 1888 budget for the District
Playground Department when
compared with the figure set
aside in the 1882 budget. The
present estimate is $197 ,440, while
last years was $218,3?0.
Both the District Commission
ers and the Bureau Of the Budget
apparently turned deaf ear on
the recommendations of Miss
Sibyl Baker, the department di-
rector, for additional Fairgrounds
and swimming pools.
Miss Baker pointed out that the
Federal and Municipal play
grounds has occasioned the loss
of several large playfields in the
last year, and urged that appro.
priations be made for additional
space.
The estimate calls for $117,560
for personal services, compared
with $115,94O appropriated last
year; $4,000 for general main
tenance, repairs and improve
mentS compared with $63, 900 set
aside for these expenses last year;
10000 for maintenance and con-
tingent expenses during the sum-
mer month; $4,000 for repairs,
maintenance and expenses Of
operating three swimming pools
and $6,880 for superintendent,
supplies, and repairs of the pools.
