meeting STAINS world. She must hold

Asked of Congress Against

RECEIPTS OUTLOOK
"VERY QUESTIONABLE"
PAIRING Of Last Budget to Appro.
priation of Only SAL 100000
Indicates Possibility.

Departmental estimates of the needs
OF the District government during the
1884 fiscal year total S47,20O,0OO in
round figures, it was learned yesterday.
This represents a drop of nearly SlO,-
OOO,o00 from the s570OO,0O0 the de-
fiscal year.
Some idea Of how much Of these re-
quests will be translated into appropri-
ationS by Congress may be obtained
from the fate of the 1888 estimates.
Starting at S57 000,0 900, those were pared
to S45,000000 by the Bureau of the
Budget and emerged as a SAL 900 900
appropriation bill late last month.

C00,000 believed necessary for the smooth
functioning Of the municipality, and
that the outlook for receipts during the
present year. on which the 1884 budget
must eventually be based, is very ques-
tionable
The slicing Of $4,000 900 from the
preliminary requests will make the task
Of the Commissioners in pairing the re-
quests for submission to the Bureau OF
the Budget muc heasier: but determined
not to let an extra penny escape. the
