theory that nation cannot expect to

above all, for realization upon the part

COMPLETE REVIEW
OF 1885 ESTIMATES
Commissioners Direct Audi
tor to Transmit Them
to Budget Bureau.

The District Commissioners today
completed a review of the tentative
1885 financial estimates prepared by
the special Economy Committee and
directed Maj. Daniel J. Donovan, audi
tor and budget officer. to transmit them
to the Budget Bureau.
As framed by the Economy Commit
tee, the estimates called for appropria-
tions totaling approximately $36, ITO, 900.
The Commissioners, however, are un-
derstood to have made few changes
in the Economy Committees recon-
mendations without materially altering
the total figure which the budget
Bureau f1ved as the limit for 1885.
Maj. Donovan said he would not
have the estimates ready to send to
the Budget Bureau before the early part
of next week because of the numerous
details involved in the preparation of
the book containing the hundreds OF
items that make up the budget. This
book also contains q written juStifica-
ton for each item.
Aside from whipping the estimates
into shape for Budget Bureau considera-
tion, Maj. Donovan will complete
comprehensive report to show the pros
pective financial condition Of the Dis
trict at the close of the current fiscal
year and the ability Of the municipal
treasury to support s36,710,00 budget
in 1885 by continuing the existing Sl.5o

killed when struck by an automobile
operated by John Thomas, colored, 81,

several broken ribs, possible internal in

Salaries of Director HaIbert
and 81 Others Pushed
Back.
RULING ALSO RESTORES
SLASH TO 27 WORKERS
Emergency Funds Not Subject to
Is Per Cent Cut, Controller
General Holds.

The pay boosts recently given 81 en-
ployes of the Districts emergency rehef
organization, along with $500 raise
given Leroy H. Halbert, director, boost
ing his salary from $4,000 a year to
$4,000. we're nullifed by an opinion
handed down today by Controller Gen
eral McCarl.
The increases and pay cuts for II
other employes in the District relief
set-up already had been declared of
by Harry L. Hopkins, Federal emergency
relief administrator, while he and his
assistant, Alan Johnstone, made an ex.
haustive inquiry into the whole relief
situation in the District.
Johnstone is continuing his investiga-
ton of the Districts organization and Is
expected to have the work completed'
today.
Increase Was Paid.
Despite Hopkins order, the pay in
creases are said to have been paid
Saturday, the last Government pay day
Under McCarl's order, the amount OF
the increase will have to be repaid
Hopkins held at the time he started
the inquiry that If the salaries Of
Halbert and his staff were paid with
Federal funds they could not be legal,
since the increases had not been ap-
proved by the Emergency Relief Ad-
ministration. AS matter of fact, they
had not even been submitted to the
Federal agency for approval.
The effect of the McCarl decision is
10 void also the pay cuts given the q
employees. Three Of these employees quit
their jobs as protest against the re-
duction.
The controller generals decision COW
cred two points. He held in the first
instance that funds from the Federal
Emergency Administration paid to per-
reau of the Board of Public Welfare are
cut.
Guided by Opinions.
Secondly, he held that these relief
funds are not to be used "for increasing
the existing rates of compensation of
employees on relief work. already on the
rolls of the District Of Columbia"
On the first point the controller gen.
eral was guided by previous opinions in
which he had held that no pay in the
emergency agencies is subject to the
Is per cent cut because of the fact
that the rates are not fixed and that
consequently there was no basis upon
which the cut could have been applied
when the economy act was passed. He
rendered like opinion in the case
where the District got direct appro-
priation from Congress for relief
On the second point he said the bar
rier against administrative promotion
under the economy act would preclude
the pay raise.

POLL TAX is URGED
TO ASSIST SCHOOLS
Alta Vista Community League
Fears Lack of Funds En-
dangers System.
BY a Stan Correspondent Of The Star.

BY Stan Correspondent OF The Star.
ALTA VISTA. Md, October 3.-Hold-
ing that Maryland's public school sys-
tenn stands "in danger Of becoming
impaired due to insufficient funds"
the Alta Vista Community League
passed a resolution here last night
urging the adoption of a State poll tax
to raise additional revenue for educa-
tional purposes.
The measure, which 1t is hoped will
be presented at the special session Of
the General Assembly to be held soon
to settle public works and prohibition
lature to place the poll or head tax
on all residents 81 years Of age or
over who have resided in Maryland for
a period of one year or more.
In addition, 1t asks that the poll tax
be requisite to any individuals right
to vote or to obtain any license Of any
kind, regardless of whether the appli-
cant for license is q resident Of the
State or a nonresident"
The money thus raised, 1t was said,
Should be considered as an additional
revenue for school purposes over and
above all present ALLEGATIONS and
should not be used for any other pur-
pose"
AutnOrS OF the reSOluClOn explained
that the assertion that the school sys-
tenn does not have adequate funds at
this time Is based on the fact that
the Legislature voted for q number of
reductions in school appropriations at
its last regular session, including reduc-
tions in teachers and school of1cials'
salaries.
Copies of the resolution will be sent
to the Montgomery County delegation
in the State Legislature and Gov. Al
bert G. Ritchie, with the request that
they lend the measure their help, and
to the Montgomery County Civic Fed
Grafton, with an appeal for that body
and its member organizations to pass
similar resolutions.
It also will be forwarded to the
president of the National Congress Of
Parent Teacher Associations for use in
any States that are in need Of addi-
tional revenue for schools.
Robert v. Beckham was elected presi-
dent of the association for the new
term. while Lendell A. Conner was
named vice president and Charles E.
Wilton secretary-treasurer. Delegates
to the Civic Federation will be ap-
pointed this week by the new president.

be appointed were instructed to inquire
into the status of Marylands public
