Treasury engineers, preparing

HALBERT SAYS
S625,000 IS
ESSENTIAL
Proposed Cut to $250,000
Seen As Dire.BIoW to JobIess
by Emergency Supervisor

Slashing relief funds to little
more than $25O,OOO as provided
in the District supply bill, will
bring unprecedented suffering to
the unemployed, according to
Leroy A. Halbert, supervisor of
the Emergency Relief Commit
tee.
Provision is made in the ap-
preparation bill for the fiscal
year 1884 for use for relief pur-
poses of the revenue raised from
the 81 increase per thousand on
Intangible personal property.
Although the Commissioners
estimated the minimum needs
for relief for the first six months
of the 1884 fiscal year at $685.
600, this provision, according to
the report of the bill, will realize
$509,000 for the entire fiscal
year, with the result that only
$250,00O will be available for the
six-month period specified by the
Commissioners.
While the $5O9,OOO estimated
is made by the committee report
ing the bill, the District tax
assessors office estimates, how
ever, that the revenue realized
on the increase will be less than
100000 for the six-month period.
The only hope the District has,
if the committees recommended
ton is adopted by Congress, Mr..
Halbert said. is for passage of the
bill authorizing a $2,5O0,00C loan
to the District from the Recon
StructiCn Finance Corporation.

AS MENACE
Economy Slash in D. C. Funds
Seen Forcing SpIit-ups in
Classes Next Term

Some public schools in the Dis
trict will be forced to go on q
part-time schedule of classes as
a result of slashes in funds for
school buildings as reported in
the District supply bill for 1884,
it was asserted today by DR..
Frank w. Ballou, superintendent
of schools.
Under the terms of the bill as
reported, the original public school
estimates for buildings and
grounds are cut from $2,548,920
to $685., 900, a slash of 1882, ,920.
Cites Classroom Need
The total recommended is $703,-
500 less than the 1888 appropria-
ton and $274,000 under tk> esti-
mates of the Budget Bureau.
DR.. Ballou pointed out that the
customary average increase in en-
rollment in the elementary schools
necessitates construction of at
least AZ additional classrooms.
Without these rooms, the
school head declared, the inevi-
table result will be a double shift
of classes. The only other re-
course, he said, would be us Of
several portable school buildings,
all of which, however, have be-
come delapidated from disuse.
100 More Pupils Seen
The average increasc in enroll
ment, DR.. Ballou asserted, is ap-
proximately 1,700 in the el-
mentary schools and building
operations should be maintained
to keep pace with the added
number of pupils.
The bill provides for four
building projects, namely an g.
room building for the Logan
School (colored), 10 classrooms
and gymnasium for the Deal
Junior High School, and a senior
high school in Reno.

Representative Fiorello La

"A DAY
eY BRUCE CTTON

"CTORM BEACH" by Virginia
~ Hersch, is a study of the priv
lege and the sacrifice which are
bound up in the life of the proud
race-conscious Jew.
1t is a novel set in the Charles
ton of century ago. There Is a
Jewish community there: a group
of cultured, aristocratic and self
willed folk on which centuries of
persecution have left an ineradica-
bic mark.
In this community is a girl, Judith
Carvalho. Her story is simple and
tragic; she loves a Gentle. a young
man from one of CharleSton's proud
old families; and she can do moth
ing but give him up.
There is conflict of prideS. His
family looks down on hers; her fam
lily looks down on his. Each aris-
tocracy makes it clear that only
misery awaits member who steps
across the border into the opposite
camp.
So the girl gives him up, and
grows up lonely and disconnected.
And in her story the author has
given expression to all that is best
and all that is most tragic in the
isolation of the Jew.
These Jews must be race con-
SciouS, they must be proud; the ira
dition they bear is too much for
them to be anything else. They
can find salvation only by contin-
uing this tradition. For one who
breaks it there can be nothing but
Scorn.
This is a novel OF the kind that
