The budget as submitted to Con-
gress for 1885 by the Budget Bureau
amounted to s2s. .583.117 general fund
items only. The appropriations made
by Congress totalled $3l.769,38l, an
increase over the Budget Bureau hg-
ures Of $2,186.2 .264.
at will be noted that the foregoing
statement includes provision for the
per cent salary restoration on July
!. 1884. amounting to $1,000 900. and
the payment of one automatic in
crease Of 500 each to teachers, po-
licemen and firemen, $250.000. Also,
under the provisions Of the act of
June 27. 1894. these employees are
entitled To two additional automatic
increases OF 500 each for the fiscal
years 1893 and 1884. calling for the
expenditure OF an additional $780,
600. There Is some question whether
an appropriation is provided for this
latter purpose. and the matter has
been submitted to the controller gen.
eral of the United States for his deci-
sion. If an appropriation is not made
at this time. it is assumed that it
would be recommended in the next
deficiency bill.
On this assumption. an appropria-
ton charge of 100000 appears in
the 1885 set-up.
1T is also assumed that the Public
Works Administration will have ad-
vanced to the District by the close
OF the fiscal year 1895 sufficient
monies to call for the first annual
reimbursement of 1000. 900. Provi-
sion has been made for this payment
in the 1885 set-up.

THE revenue surplus OF $5.O54 SO
carried in the earlier estimate was
based upon the budget for 1885 as sub
mitted to Congress by the Budget
Bureau. Congress increased the budget
by s2,186.264. This amount, together
with obligations carried by new legis-
lation-namely, salary increases, ST.
$50, 900, and reimbursements to the
United States of the p. w. A. loan,
81 900 0O0-account for q reduction Of
S4, ,636, ,264 in the first revenue surplus
estimate Of $5,054,193. Changes now
made in other estimated items. both
appropriation charges and revenues,
indicate practically a balanced ac-
count at the close of 1885; as the
revenue surplus now estimated as
available for consideration in framing
the budget for the fiscal year 1885 is
only $2s 1853.

priation act for 1885 provides:
