Over Increased Appro-

Jubilant over increased appropria-

tiOn, Supt Frank W. Ballou hailed
the boost in the budget as a boon
to the District educational facilities
This budget recognizes the existing
need for added facilities much more
fully than the appropriations for the
l 1893 and li24 fiscal years" said DR.
Under the budget, as approved by
the House and Senate, nearly ST.
000. 900 was added to the original esti-
mate Of $9,504, ,l06 for District schools
OF the total $l,l3l 900 is for new
construction.
that. while the budget provided for
new schools. 1t carried no provision
for additional teachers.
One OF the most important items,
struck out by the House but REIN
serted at the insistence Of the Senate,
Is appropriation Of $55O.0O to COM
plete and equip the Woodrow Wilson
High School This will make DOS
sible completion of the school by Sep
tember, 1885, taking a big burden of
Western High School.
An item of $l80, 900, budgeted for
completion Of Anacostia Junior High
School, will help relieved overcrowded
conditions at Eastern. Items OF
$l66 900 and SIS, 900 for additions to
Phelps School and Alice Deal Junior

UTILITIES CUT HELD
BLOW TO SERVICE
Roberts Declares Reduced Funds
Will Handicap Work of
Commission.

Regarding the expected cut in the
appropriation for the staff of the Pub
lie Utilities Commission, as provided
In the District appropriation bill,
Peoples Counsel William A. Roberts
Yesterday issued the following state
ment:
There is a great danger that the
further reduction of 60 members in
the permanent staff will SO diminish
the effectiveness of the commission
that the rights of the consumer can
not be protected.
Much of the most valuable work of
the commission is of a non-spectacular
nature, involving the inspection of
thousands of units of transportation
equipment and the investigation of
individual complaints. No private
citizen has the information or the
equipment to meet the resources Of
the utilities in disputes as to bills or
service They must rely on the COM
mission and its staff, and past expert
ence in thousands of such complaints
shows savings of tens of thousands Of
dollars to the citizens.
In addition, there are more than
100000 gas and electric meters which
must be tested frequently, to avoid
overcharges, and regular tests of gas
and electric service as to heat content
and voltage are necessary.
The people of the District can only
expect service from the commission
commensurate with the funds at its
disposal. 1 greatly fear that they
will not and cannot be satisfied with
the results under the SlaShed appro-
priation and that regulation will be
discredited."

sufficiently familiar with the measure
to oppose action on the conference
agreement. but had been told it would
seriously interfere with the work Of
the commission.
Senator Thomas, Democrat, OF Ok
lahoma, in charge Of the BILL said
the Senate conferees tried to sustain
the budget estimate for the Utilities
Commission, but finally had to yield
to the House after holding out for a
week. He said the bill represents the
best the Senate conferees could do,
without holding out indefinitely.
The total OF $35, 400 .000r now in the
DILL exceeds the budget estimates by
$245, 900, and the current appropria-
ton act by about $5,000,OO0.
Schools Get More.
The main increases obtained by the
Senate in conference were in raising
emergency relief from $1,000, 900 20
$4,000 900; addition of about $700,0O
for school building and ground prof.
ects, increases in items for fighting
tuberculosis and compromise increases
in various maintenance items through
out the bill.
Next to the Utilities Commission
cut, one of the most serious reduc-
tions was for street lighting. The
House allowed 100000, the Senate
raised it to 1887, 400, but in confer
ence it was cut back to S768, 700.
One of the beneficial provisions of
the bill allows the Commissioners to
make a rs per cent cut in water rates
and to raise the present metered al
lowance Of water to be used on the
minimum rate. 1t also reduces the
rate of assessment for laying sewer and
water mains.
House approval of the conference
report was preceded by an hour OF
heated debate, during which Represen-
tatives Cochran, Democrat. of Mis-
souri,, and Ditter.. Republican, of
Pennsylvania, vigorously denounced
the reduction in the appropriation for
the Public Utilities Commission.
Cochran pointed out electric, gas
and telephone rates are lower in the
District than in most cities of the
country, due to activities of the COM
mission, and charged the appropria-
tion was reduced because Representa-
tive Blanton, Democrat, of Texas got
sore wit an individual. 1t was be-
lieved he had reference to William A.
Roberts while he was an assistant
corporation counsel assigned TO public
utilities. Blanton severely criticized
Roberts during hearings on the budget
estimates.
Cochran's defense of the commits
sion drew a sharp retort from Repre-
sentative Cannon. Democrat, of Mis-
souri,, chairman of the House Confer
ence Committee on the bill Cannon
accused his colleague from Missouri Of
using the commissions case to pro-
mote his political campaign for the
Senate because he knew it would get
him publicity in the st. Louis news
papers" He declared Cochran had
'butted his head against stone wall
but didn't get anywhere"

been defenders Of the present admin

against the administration program
for incompetency, laxity and lack OF

is concerned, the distinguished gen.
tleman from Texas Is the last one ]
had expected would do so.
"You cannot blame the District II

to inquire whether there are other
things which they desire here. ven-
ture the suggestion, il Texas came
here and II efforts were made by the
administration to hand out to Abilene

so that any criticism Of that which
might come to the District as a result

which should have been included; GER

other the Liquor Control Board.
Il believe we should have the ad

done If you rob the enforcement boarc

Secondly, l still contend that unit
there is actual proof of either incom'

the part of the Utilities Commission
that We should provide a larger appro.
