1884 ESTIMATES
WILL Be STUDIED
District Department Heads
Warned to Be Ready for
Committee July 9.

District department heads were
warned today to have their budget
estimates for the 1884 fiscal year ready
by Saturday, July 9, at which time they
will be turned over to the recently
formed Economy Committee.
Starting next Monday, the Economy
Committee will hold daily sessions
studying and pruning the preliminary
estimates and by August l the eSti-
mates will be turned over to the Dis
trict Commissioners for further study.
The estimates are due at the Bureau
of the Budget in September.
The Economy Committee has been
given power by the Commissioners to
summon department heads before it
and has been instructed to scan all
estimates closely and recommend to the
Commissioners budget comprising the
last word in economical operation for
the municipal establishment.
This is the first set of estimates ever
to be handled in. this way. Normally
the estimates are sent forward by in
dividual department heads to the Bud
get Officer District Auditor Daniel j.
Donovan) who adds them up and turns
them over to the Commissioners. The
Commissioners then study the figures at
daily sessions and send their revised
figures to the Budget Bureau.
The departmental estimates have all
been in preparation for weeks, but up
until the signing of the 1888 supply bill
last week by President Hoover, it was
to complete the work. since
the fate of many major projects in the
1888 schedules remained in doubt
Many improvements included in the
1888 estimates, but eliminated by Con-
gress, are expected to find their way
into the 1884 estimates.

COAL INDUSTRY CONTROL
SUBSTITUTE is PROPOSED
Senator Hayden Plans Bill for
Greater Cooperation and Less
u. S. Regulation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
AS a substitute for the Davis Kelly
bill for Federal regulation of the
bituminous ccal industry, Senator Hay
den, Democrat, of Arizona, member
of the subcommittee considering the
measure, said today he has proposed a
bill providing for maximum cooper
alton in the industry with a minimum
of Government control"
The Hayden substitute plan would
authorize formation Of an organization
of coal operators which would be exempt
from the operation Of the antitrust
laws, SO that coal production could be
prorated among the members.
The organization would be super
vised by Federal coal commission or
another Government agency.
A tax of 10 per cent on coal at the
mine would be levied under the plan,
with the proviso that 90 per cent OF
the tax be rebated to producers in the
organization living up to its agree
mentS.
Senator Hayden said it is too late
for the full Mining Committee to do
anything with the plan or with the
other reports before adjournment, but
pointed cut the material would be be-
fore its members for study between now
and December.

O'BR|EN TO FIGHT
FOR PRIMARY LAW
Statute to Assure Bona Eide
Representation at Con-
ventionS Sought.

Determination to urge upon Congress
"a real primary law for the District. to
assure bona fide representation" was
expressed today by Col Arthur O'Brien,
delegate to the Democratic National
Convention and retiring national treas
urer of the party, upon his return to
Washington.
Representative Mary T. Norton,
chairman of the House District Com
mittee, who was also a delegate to
the Democratic convention, has pledged
her support to this campaign. She Of
fered a plank of her own to the Reso-
lutions Committee at the convention to
grant national representation to the
residents of the District of Columbia,
and declares that she will cooperate
in every way possible ito get this
inalienable right" for the District
people.
Col OBrien denounced foreign rep
resentation" on the District delegation
and said that the failure to get a ma
tional representation plank for the Dis
trict in the party platform is due
largely to that fact. "If we ever hope
to get anything for the District in
the national councils of the party" he
advised, I'VE must send delegation
whose sole interest is for the District" !"
Commenting on the failure to get
recognition for the minority of the dele
cation on the floor of the convention,
Col. O'Brien said: "The Districts colors
were trampled upon, but not struck.
We will continue fighting. In our
minority, I believe, we have a nucleus
for an organization which will carry on
a persistent fight to secure real repre-
sentation for District residents, COM
posed of bona-flde residents OF the
Capital We viii carry our appeal to
Congress for a proper primary law for
the District which will assure all the
people an opportunity to select their
own delegates to the national conven-
tions."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, July 7.-Wil-
liam L. Wilson of Jacksonville, chair
man of the Industrial Committee Of the
Florida State Chamber of Commerce
and a leader in reforestation work in
this State, last night sent Gov Frank
lin D. Roosevelt of New York the fol-
lowing telegram:
Secretary Hyde's criticisms of your

forest fire prevention work alone. There
Is no necessity actually to plant seed

ton of forest products
I'VE are depicting our forests now and
are supplying less than 40 per cent of

vaunted protection policy has not pre-
vented unfair pulp competition from

BUREAU PLANNED

Council of Social Agencies
Would Join Other Cities in
Ending PanhandIing.

Establishment in Washington Of bu-
reau to assist transient men and to CO.
operate with other cities for the elimi-
nation of professional panhandling is
recommended in the annual report of
the committee on transientS, Council Of
Social Agencies.
The bureau, it was suggested, could
be either private agency with board
of directors or a branch of the Board OF
Public Welfare. The new agency might
be called the Central Bureau for Tran
sient and Homeless Men, and would be
provided with a staff of social workers,
the report pointed out.
The committee based its report on a
years study of transient men conducted
by the Travellers Aid Society. Case
histories of 4,367 transients were
studied as to the reason for leaving
home and the willingness of the indi-
vidual to cooperate with plans for re-
he abilitation.
1t was suggested that the bureau
would BE- particularly useful in work.

STUDY Of TRAFFIC
DEPARTMENT IS ON
More Efficient and Business
like Basis Aim of Com
miSSionerS.

The Bureau of Efficiency. it was
learned last night, has undertaken a
comprehensive study of the District De-
partment of Vehicles and Traffic with a
view to putting it on a more efficient
and buSinesslike basis.
The study was requested by the Dis
trict Commissioners, who are anxious
for the department, the newest in the
municipal government. to have the best
plan of organization possible.
The department was created July l
last year, replacing the former Traffic
Department under William H. Harland
which was abolished by an act of Con-
greSS. A new Set-up was necessary be-
cause of the added duties given the de-
partment. These included the issuance
of automobile tags, which formerly was
under the direction of the superintend-
ent of licenses.
Titling of Vehicles.
In addition to issuing tags, the de-
partment in the first six months of its
existence also wsS callsd on to title
every motor vehicle in the District a
gigantic task, even fer an old and well
established department.
That the department was able to per-
form this job and issue tags for 140 ,00O
vehicles with very little criticism, is re-
garded by District officials as a tribute
to the engineering genius of William A.
Van Duzer, director.
The Commissioners are said to be of
the opinion that in the rapid growth
of the department resulting from the
oIr raI l1rti fIAr k1z,
tapping in work that could be avoided
by a reorganization of personnel and
business practices.
The survey is being directed by E. E
Naylcr cf the Efficiency Bureaus inves-
ti2ating staff and former assistant au-
ditor of the District. He not only will
study the personnel set-up and suggest
a scheme OF organization designed to
increase efficiency, but will recommend
a bo- kkCeping and accounting system
in line with modern business practices
Source of Criticism.
District officials said the main criti-
cism of the traffic department came
from persons who failed to receive
certificates of title within a reason
able period after filing an application.
An investigation, it was said, revealed
that most of these applicants had
filed applications for which there was
no record of a fee being attached.
Several hundred, it was said, claimed
they attached currency to the appli-
cations, instead of a check or money
order. as directed on the blank. To
those persons a certificate of title was
issued, which, it was said, will result
in a shortage Of several hundred
dolIare in the certificate of title fund.
The amount, however is regarded as
insignificant, in comparison With the
S14G 600 taken in for titling cars.
