The Commerce Departments aquar-
ium went on the gold standard today.
Nine pure golden-colored trout, men,
bers of a family found exclusively in
New Hampshire and Maine lakes, were
brought here to conform with the
Bureau of Fisheries policy Of exhibiting
rare and unusual fish.
Bureau officials explained that the
rarity of these fish lies in the fact that
they are closely related to the speckled
or brook trout, but have distinctive
appearance of their own. Few aquar-
iums in this country have specimen OF
this variety.
The difference in appearance lies in
the olive coloring of the back, without
the distinct speckled markings of the
brook trout, and the brilliant golden
sheen of the lower parts of the body,
particularly noticeable during the
spawning season.

LETTERS WILL BE SENT
CIVIC AND TRADE BODIES
So, 600, 900 Estimated to Be Avail
able During Coming Fiscal
Year.

Representative Mcleod, Republican,
of Michigan, announced today he would
seek the support of organized citizen
ship of the District for his bill to per-
NIT the Commissioners to use, without
congressional approval. any unobligated
surplus tax revenues to TIE credit Of
the District in the Federal Treasury.
Letters will be sent to the various
civic and trade organizations, outlining
the purpose Of the bill, and asking for
an expression OF views.
$2,000,001 Surplus Seen.
Mcleod said he had been advised by
District officials there would be sur
plus of more than $2,000,000 in the
coming fiscal year which, under the
provisions of his bill, could be used for
making up any shortage in emergency
unemployment relief funds or to finance
needed public projects not authorized
in the 1884 appropriation bill. Such
work, he believes, would aid materially
in relieving the unemployment situa-
ton and at the same time give the
District the benefit of the prevailing
lower prices and wage scales.
An effort Is being made by Mcleod
to get the measure on the House calen-
dar as soon as possible so action may
be taken before the adjournment Of
Congress. He has urged Chairman Nor
ton of the House District Committee to
call a special meeting of her group to
report the bill.
Mcleod thinks the emergency char
acter of the bill would result in favor
able House action. He pointed out the
measure would discourage the Budget
Bureau from making arbitrary cuts in
the estimates of the Commissioners in
the future and allow the District to
have balanced budget.
Would Divorce Budget Bureau.
A movement has been initiated by
Representative Norton to divorce the
Budget Bureau from consideration Of
the District estimates for the same pur-
pose, but she has little hope of approval
of the plan In the closing days of the
present special session of Congress. One
of the strongest supporters Of the plan
Is Mai. Daniel j. Donovan, District au-
ditor and budget ofiicer, who wrote to
Mrs. Norton that the present practice
operates at times detrimentally to the
best interests Of the District.
