Chairman Buchanan of the Appropria-

from the Budget Bureau this week.

tell at this time, but indicated that II
the Budget Bureau follows closely the
original 1884 estimates, hearings would

Buchanan also advised the Board of
Trade of his plan to have the esti-
mates considered by the Subcommittee
on Deficiencies instead of the District
Subcommittee on Appropriations. How
ever, he pointed out that Chairman
Cannon and other members of the SUBJ
committee which framed the 1884 Dis
trict bill that failed in the last Con-
gress, would be invited to sit with the

visory capacity.

mate is received, hearings on the Dis
trict appropriation bill will be begun,

vited to sit with the deficiency subcom-
mittee.
Will Be Heard.
How extensive the hearings will be
on this bill will not be determined until
the first meeting of the subcommittee
1t may be that on many of the items
in the District bill, that the hearings
conducted by the District subcommittee
will be sufficient. On the other hand, II
the budget makes material changes in
the estimates, it is probable that the
subcommittee will conduct hearings on
such changes.
IF it is found necessary to conduct
further hearings relative to the i'm
provements of New Hampshire avenue

hanan street to the District line, then
feel sure that the Washington Board
