BUDGET CURTA|LS
PLAY FACILITIES
Park Employees Face 81 Days
FurIough in Addition
to Pay Cut.

District government budget estimates,
now pending in the House Appropria-
tionS Committee, reduce the items for
sports for the coming fiscal year from
$38 900 to $4,000, which will mean a
sharp curtailment of facilities for public
outdoor recreation, park officials said
yesterday, after study of the figures.
The officials are unable to say. as yet,
just what sports might be affected.
Perhaps the most serious feature of the
reduction. officials asserted. is the fact
that because of depleted funds for pay
ing salaries. each employe of the Office
of Public Buildings and Public Parks
will have to take 81 days administrative
furlough during the coming year, start
ing July l. This will be in addition to
the projected Is per cent pay slash,
they asserted.
The salary item has been cut in the
District estimates from 100000 to
$500. .000-a 25 per cent cut to make up
the Is per cent individual shrinkage in
salaries The additional 10 per cent
must be made up by placing employees
on administrative furlough, officials ex-
planned.
Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant, Sd, director
of public buildings and public parks,
asserted that his Office would take its
cut prOpOrtlOnalely WIN Jne DlSCrlCL
government. He inclined to the view
that inasmuch as the voters desired a
reduction in governmental expenditures,
the country must expect this.
All construction work in the parks
has been eliminated in the estimates.
There is a feeling among certain
officials. however. that the administra-
ton proposes to insert construction
items in general public works meas
ure, designed to stimulate employment.
The general expense figure was cut
said. For the first time, the United
States park police will be placed on an
administrative furlough, which will
work out at from 18 to 81 days per
officer Salaries for the police are cut
from $4,000 to S145,O00. Funds for
the equipment and uniform are trimmed
from $12. 500 to $4,000.

URGE DRASTIC CUT
IN FAIRFAX BUDGET
Taxpayers League Recon-
mends SIashes and Asks
Voice in Final Action.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special DlSpotcn 10 Inc 6tdr.
FAIRFAX, Va, March 30.-Urging
even further drastic reductions in the
county budget to be adopted in April,
the special Budget Committee OF the
Fairfax County Taxpayers League at
meeting Of the league last night pre-
sented recommendations requesting
that the Board of Supervisors ask the
State authorities to reduce the charge
for auditing county books; that Sation-
cry and telephone costs be cut and that
several allegedly non-eSsential tele-
phones be removed from the court
house.
Among other recommendations made
were the following:
That the travelling expenses allowed
the treasurer and commissioner Of revc-
nue. be reduced or eliminated and that
no extra pay be allowed them for addi-
tional help during rush seasons; that
the Commonwealth attorney endeavor
to secure the appointment of the three
county police officers on the State force
by July /; that the 81 500 item for hos
pitalization and the $3.50 physicians al
lowance for indigents be abolished; that
the amount set up for maintenance OF
public buildings and grounds be dras-
tically cut; that the appropriation OF
5000 for the Children's Home in Rich
mond be dropped: that the amount OF
! fire costs be scaled down, since Falls
Church is now a separate entity and
receives nothing from the county, and
that the league appoint a committee to
sit with the Board Of Supervisors when
final action is taken on the budget.
After considerable discussion all the
recommendations as presented by the
committee were adopted. The committee
will consist of R. Cotton Lewis, Center
vile district, chairman. with one rep
resentative from each Of the other dis
tricts of the county to be appointed al
| a later date. This committee will also
serve in the future to make a study ol
all State and county tax questions.
Due to the resignation of W. F. Carne
as secretary, H. K. Stroud of Herndor
was elected.

FACING DISMISSAL
Brown Says Reduced Budget
Would Mean Fewer Uni.
formed Men.

A reduction Of Al in the number Of
uniformed policemen will be necessary
If the 1884 budget is enacted in the
form sent up to Congress by the Budget
Bureau. Maj. Ernest w. Brown. super
intendent of police, said yesterday.
The budget cuts the appropriation
for the force $4,000 under its present
standard. Under the IS per cent pay
cut, the salary of policeman in his
first year Of service is $1,615. Dividing
the salary into the amount of the re-
duction yields the number of men to
be dropped.
Bean and Headley on List.
There are several methods Of accom-
plishing the reduction, should legisla-
sioners now have the power to place
on the retired list any member of the
force who has passed his Goth BIRTH
day, regardless of his physical condi-
ton. A survey is now being made to
determine how many men in the de-
partment are more than so. The list,
when 1t Is made up, will include two
inspectors, Thaddeus R. Bean and In
spector Albert j. Headley.
Aside from retiring those over go,
the Commissioners can order retired
any who does not satisfy the Board of
Police Surgeons of his physical qualifi-
cations for police duty. Maj. Brown
said he Is planning a medical and
physical survey of every member of
the department next month to see
whether any Of them should be re-
tired for this reason. The examina-
tion Is normally an annual affair, but
no examination was held in 1882.
Nine Vacancies Now.
Part of the cut can be accomplished
by the occurrence of vacancies through
deaths or designations. There are now
nine vacancies in the basic strength
OF 1,341 members, and three addi-
tional vacancies are expected to occur
in the near future.
Finally, if these methods are ex-
hauSted and still the force must be
cut down, the Commissioners could Or
der members of the force laid off with
out pay. Not only is this last alterna-
tive possibility. but the Commission
erS would be compelled to do 1t rather
than incur deficiency in the salary
item, 1t was explained.
Maj. Brown said that whatever hap
pened. he would endeavor to keep the
same number of men on street duty by
relieving members of the force of other
assignments, as he considers his pres
ent street force an absolute minimum

How men and machinery strive for
the ideal of a newspaper worthy of
125,000 daily readers was described to
the District of Columbia Library As
sociation last night by Newbold Noyes,
associate editor of The Star.
Ethics no less than personnel and
equipment must enter into the task if
the newspaper is to be a constructive
as we'll as an educational force in the
community, Mr.. Noyes said
The speaker was introduced to 100
members OF the association. in the audi
torium Of the American National Red
man, librarian of the Public Library
In his 20 years of active association
with. The Star, Mr.. Noyes said, he
learned to work for speed and accuracy
as reporter, and later as an editor, to
temper his personal opinions when
speaking for The Star on matters Of
public interest.
From the standpoint of newspaper
editor. he challenged the type of reader
skepticism so frequently expressed by:
g Oh, that's just newspaper story"
Mr.. Noyes said that the profession of
Journalism draws its very breath of life
from sources of truth and accuracy.
Libel laws alone, he said, go long way
toward insuring faithful reporting even
should ethics be lacking.

depression with mounting demand for
service and a declining source of reve-
nue. was described to the association by
Miss Clara w. Herbert, assistant IL
brarian, the Public Library
