Maj. Daniel j. Donovan, District
auditor and budget officer, expects today
to complete his explanation to the Com
missioners of the tentative 1885 finan-
cial budget framed by the Special Econ
omy Committee.
The budget contains items calling for
appropriations totaling about $780,
7l0000-the limit fixed by the Bureau
Of the Budget on District estimates for
the. coming fiscal year.
The budget was scheduled to be SUBJ
mitted to the Budget Bureau Satur-
day. but the District was granted a
respite in order to give the Commits
sioners ample time to study various
items recommended by the Economy
Committee. As soon as the Commits
slonerS finish examination of the bud
get 1t will be transmitted to the Budget
Bureau.
In its present form, the budget, it is
understood. will permit continuation In
the 1885 fiscal year of the existing 81 Sc
levy on real estate and tangible per-
sonal property. The Budget Bureau, il
was said. proposes to recommend a Fed
eral contribution in 1885 of $500 600
the same amount granted by Congress
Tor the current fiscal year.
Aside from familiarizing the Commis.
sioners with the estimates, Maj. Dono-
van Is completing a comprehensive
statement en- District finances which

OF that size could be financed on the
basis OF sl.50 tax rate, and a Fedora
contribution CT s5.700,0OO. by omittina

OF the municipal center, and any othe,
major building projects. As result

current appropriation act.
The Commissioners, however, hope tc

LOSS OF SANDBERG
FEARED BY POLICE
Retirement of Identification Ex-
pert Regarded as Inevitable
Soon.

Police officials were worried today
over the seemingly inevitable retirement
Of Lieut.. Fred Sandberg generally rec
ognized as one of the country's Leading
identification experts.
Sandberg. who is up and around again
after seven months illness. during
which he underwent three major opera
tions, becomes eligible for automatic re-
tirement within month. He Will De
64, with 80 years service to his credlt.
Even If an executive order coulo pe
obtained from President Roosevelt, per-
mitting Sandberg to continue his work
despite his age and service, ne stlli
would be liable to retirement because OF
his i'll health.
Although Sandberg's work has been
done during the last seven months by
his staff of trained assistants, 1t is felt
that his services are virtually 1nols-
pensable. Even If Sandberg cannot re-
turn to active duty, police officials are
hopeful he may be allowed to supervise
the work of the department.
Sandberg was one of the first police
men assigned to the study OF the Ber-
tillon system of Identification in this
country. He learned the rudiments OF
fingerprint Identification In 1904, study
ing under q woman who had learned
the art from Scotland Yard experts In
London.
Since then Sandberg has devoted
virtually all his time to the study Of the
science of identification-not only
through fingerprints, but through hand
prints and footprints, as well. He was
the first expert to use palmprints In
testimony against criminal.
He also introduced locally the system
of footprint identification for babies,
now in use in most hospitals.

BANK DEP0S|T0RS'
MEETING TIME SET
U. S. Savings Bank Group Is
Ready to Hear Cooper
Wednesday Night.

Col. Wade H. Cooper president of the
United States Savings Bank. has &C
cepted an invitation to address a mass
meeting Of depositors of the bank
Wednesday night, but Treasury Depart
ment officials still have under con-
sideration this afternoon the question
OF whether the Government will send
a speaker
This was disclosed by Arthur Claren-
don Smith, president of the Central
Business Mems Association, who has
called the depositors meeting for Gen.
trail High School auditorium, Wednes-
day night at o'clock.
The principal thing sought for in
this mass meeting Mr.. Smith explained,
is organization of the depositors in a
body behind special committee to be
named by the mass meeting. This
committee will take immediate action
to get the bank open as soon as pos
sible.
Authorized by the Business Mems As
sociation to head this new movement,
Mr.. Smith said the depositors are not
interested SO much in taking sides in
the battle which has been going on for
some time between Col Cooper and the
Government as in some kind OF a plan
to get the bank open.
The business community, which has
its money tied up in the United States
Savings Bank. is in distress, according
to Mr.. Smith, and announcement of
the mass meeting has brought forth a
veritable flood of "disheartening" sto-
ries of people in trouble because of the
bank.
Not only business men. but many
others, including widows who have all
their funds deposited in the bank, have
appealed to the committee to take dras-
tic action.
Mr.. Smith met with a preliminary
committee early this afternoon to plan
a program for the mass meeting With
about 10000 depositors becoming con-
cerned and increasingly agitated over
delay in opening the bank, Mr.. Smith
predicted the mass meeting would draw
thousands of people.
In the meantime, the court fight pre-
c1pltated by Col. Cooper probably will
come to head early this week. Col,
Cooper asked the court to restrain the
Treasury from throwing the bank into
a recelvership and also is asking the
court to force the Treasury to adopt
his plan for reopening the bank. In a
previous action, Col Hooper fought the
proposed entry of his bank into the
Hamilton National Bank merger, and
before the case was decided in court
the Treasury Department dropped the
United States Savings Bank from the
merger.

These payments did not include
checks and cash taken in Saturday

flee. The collections by the cashiers
on that day amounted to $l,200.000.
Towers, however was unable to esti-
mate the amount that came in by mail.
He said it may take several weeks be-
fore his cashiers can make an accurate
tabulation Of the September tax pay
mentS.
A majority OF the payments were
made on real estate and personal prop
erty taxes. Some Of them represented
