DISTRICT ITEMS.
URGED At HEARING
Commissioners Seek Resto-
ration of 1886 Estimates
and Increases.

Determined efforts were made by
the Commissioners before the House
Appropriations Subcommittee today to
have restored to the 1895 estimate
some Of the principal items eliminat-
ed by the Budget Bureau.
The Commissioners, it is under
stood, are fighting particularly for in
creased funds for emergency relief
and public schools and Police and Fire
Departments.
Altogether, it is reported, the
Budget Bureau slashed more than $3,-
100000 from the original estimates
of the Commissioners. About $l,00o,-
900 of this amount was cut from the
emergency relief item, bringing it
down to s2,0OO,OO0, the amount ap-
propriated for the current fiscal year.
Commissioner Allen believes $3,000,-
900 is the minimum needed for relief
in the coming fiscal year.
Increase Need Stressed.
The need for an increase over the
S4l, 100000 recommended by the
Budget Bureau was stressed by the
Commissioners in a general prophetic
resume of conditions in the 1896 fiscal
year. A financial report by Maj.
Daniel j. Donovan, auditor and budget
officer, showed the ability of the Dis
trict to support the Commissioners
original S44,O39,356 budget, providing
the Federal Government contributed
as its share toward the expenses of
the District, $8,317,500. This is the
amount the Commissioners recon-
mended to the Budget Bureau. The
bureau, however, is understood to
have cut the figure back to $780,
900, the amount appropriated for the
current fiscal year, from which was
deducted 70 per cent of P. w. A.
loans to the District.
Through this process the actual
contribution fell below $5,000,O00, the
lowest in history.
Chairman Cannon of the subcom-
mittee promised to give utmost con-
sideration to the pleas of the Com
missioners and said he was confident
the District would be granted sufficient
funds in the coming fiscal year to
operate on an efficient but economical
basis.
Daily Sessions Planned.
The budget hearings, according to
Cannon, probably will conclude be-
fore the Christmas holidays. Daily
sessions are to be held between 1890
am. and 4:30 pm. After the Com
missioners finish their testimony the
department heads are to be called to
justify various items in their esti-
mates. After that the committee will
give civic and business leaders an op-
portunity to appear.
During the holiday period the ap-
preparation is expected to be marked
up and put into shape to report to
the House soon after Congress con-
venes January 3. Until that time
the public will be kept in the dark
as to both the Budget Bureau recon-
mendations as well as the items in
the bill.
