$500, 900 and leave $500 900 in the
general fund.- or $500,o00 more than
necessary to make up the cash operat-
ing fund. which is now exhausted.
Mr. Buchanan said he had no sug-
gestions to offer for the disposition of
the big surplus of gas and water
revenues, in view of the apparent de-
termination of the Budget Bureau to
curtail highway and water activities in
the coming fiscal year, but he did think
these two special funds should be made
more flexible SO they could be used for
other purposes in the event of an
emergency. The Commissioners, he be-
lieves, should be given authority to
draw on any surplus in these funds in
emergencies, subject to the approval of
the President
The appropriation bill, however. will
not carry any legislative provisions as
to the tax rate or emergency use of the

EASING OF SCHOOL
SLASH IS SOUGHT
Officials of City's PIT. A.

Meet Tonight.

Ways and means of saving District
public schools, libraries and Fairgrounds
from serious curtailment of operations
through the budget slash will be sought
tonight at an executive meeting of the
Legislative Committee chairmen of the
city's parent-teacher and home and
school associations at the National Edu-
cation Association Building. The meet
ing has been called by Harry N. Stull

DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superintendent
of schools; Miss Sibyl Baker, director
of Fairgrounds; DR.. George F. Bower

Committee chairman the way in which
he will propose to administer his de-

in 1894.
Meanwhile, 1t became known today

officers are convinced are ruthless

Today the Roosevelt High School
Parent Teacher Association dispatched
statement to the Senate and House
committees handling the District sup
ply bill, pleading for 'the restoration
of all estimates recommended by the
school department officers" The
Roosevelt association addressed itself
particularly to the item for repairs and
improvements to buildings, pointing out
that in the last bill total of $437, 500
was carried for his purpose.
Reducing this figure at this time,
the association contends, would pro-
duce disastrous results in the efficiency
and welfare of the Districts properties,
particularly in view of the fact that
the number of school buildings to be
cared for next year will be greater
than during the past year.

County Commissioners expect little diff

only nine requests for assessment cuts

series of four which the board set
aside to hear appeals and review old
assessment lists, while six were made
at the first session.
Under Maryland laws the commits

URGES RELIEF PLAN
TO PRODUCE WORK
Representative Reid Asks
President to Sponsor Rivers
and HarborS Measure.

Representative Frank r. Reid of I'LL
nois, president of the National Rivers
and Harbors Congress, proposed to
President Roosevelt yesterday plan to
put a half million men back to work
on rivers and harbors projects.
Points Out Necessity.
As spokesman for committee which
called at the White House, Reid pointed
to the necessity of including such
projects in the Roosevelt public works
program fer unemployment relief. He
cited statements of Maj. Gen. Lytle
it would be advisable to hasten COM
pletion of authorized projects while
construction costs are down.
Reid said the Army engineers pro-
gram called for total expenditure Of
S431 600, 900. He suggested that the
program, now scheduled for completion
in eight years, be cut to five and that
bond issue be f1oated, If necessary, to
finance construction. He called atten-
zion to Browns testimony before a
Senate subcommittee that up to SO per
cent of the total expended on every
project would go to labor alone. He
submitted to the President a list of
projects whose completion now, accord
ing to the Army engineers, is fully
justified at the present time in the
interests of commerce and navigation. :"
Value for Defense Cited.
Representative Reid also declared
completion of the projects would be
justified on the ground of its value in
the scheme of national defense alone.
Among those who attended were
former Senator Joseph E. Ransdel of
Louisiana, president emeritus of the
Rivers and Harbors Congress; Roy Mil
Ter Of Texas, representing the Missis sippi
Valley Association; Chairman Mansfield
