voters OF Brownsville have, from
tins to time Gin 1915. 1921. 1925.
1926. 1927 and 1927 authorized six
relatively small bond issues. the

Districts budget problems shows
that this can be increased BY $780,

WASHINGTON, May 25-R-
The governments economy drive
has not lost It's momentum although
tentative savings OF considerably
more than S75.000,000 already have
been agreed upon.
Presidential approval yesterday
Of plans 10 save about $4,000. 900
this year in the poStoffice depart
ment was the latest step IN the
pruning campaign. The war and
interior departments have agreed
TO savings: treasury and justice
have been instructed 10 see how
they can cut expenses and report
10 the president.
IN his third weekend especially
devoted 10 the problem. President
Hoover learned at his Rapidan,
Virginia. camp that postoffice econ
omies initiated last summer will
save les $38.O00.O 200 out OF an
$843, 000, 900 appropriation for the
present fiscal year ending next
June 30. In the next financial year.
SIS. 600. 900 net is to be saved.
An official announcement ON the
conference said the latter figure
took into consideration a SIS, 900 900
increase in expenses that would
result from enforcement OF the

neither decreased personnel nor
salary cuts were included.
The official announcement said
postoffice receipts this year prob
ably would be S56.000O 900 below Or
ieinal estimates. Postmaster Gen.
eral Brown has estimated the de-
partment would have a sl50.000, 00c
deficit this year.
The interior department intends
20 save $1,000, 900 to $i9.000.0 200
while the army consolidation cam
paign. involving the disposal OF 81
military posts. will add TO the
economies.
Meanwhile. Secretary Mellon. IN

a prospective deficit OF $500. 900 ,00C

Advice received from ST. Louis

ing which points out the value OF

wrote Manager Treasurer David J.

fion in a letter 10 local credit men.
Approximately fifteen billion dol
lars or more than half Of it is not
paid when due. AS a result Of the
public's failure 10 pay bills when
