PROBLEM DIMS HOPE FOR
 BRIT. TAX CUT
Surplus Will Prove No Re- lief Redemption Of
 Debt Comes Up
By OSCAR LEIDING

LONDON. Jan. 23.-The shadow of disarmament troubles IS casting gloom on picture otherwise streak ed with rays of sunshine as John Bull pores over the estimates for next years budget.
 The taxpayers hopes for at least a small cut in his heavy burden, on the strength of substantil sur plus built up in the current finan- cial year, are held from soaring by the feeling that an increase in the defense estimates is inevitable.
 Surplus No Relief
 That there will be surplus has already been announced by Neville Chamberlain, Chancellor of the Ex- cheouer. Revenue is running about $50 GOO 900 more than at the same time last year, while ordinary ex- penditure shows a decrease equiva- lent to more than s250,000,000
 Under the existing law, however any surplus realized by the end oi the financial year on March 3l must be applied to the redemption of debt. The surplus that intimately concerns the taxpayer and tht economy victim, therefore, Is no' the realized surplus of the current

 financial year, but the prospective surplus of the following year.
 Estimates of expenditure for next year are now being prepared by the Government departments, but the figures will not be ready for the Cabinet until the end of this month CT early in February.
 Adjustments in Spring
 It is considered prooable that the estimates will be framed on the as- sumption of a continuance in the new fiscal year Of the economy forced upon the country by the Financial emergency in 1881.
 There would be no difficulty however, in making adjustments after the estimates have been in- troduced in Parliament if, next spring. the revenue outlook should present an opportunity for restor- ing some of the cuts
 Increases in the estimates are expected from several departments, including the Navy and the Air Force An addition of four avia- tion squadrons is considered likely, while replacement construction in the Navy will be more expensive.
 Civil Activities Grow
 Parliament was warned last spring that the current estimates were the low-water mark of naval expenditure if the fleet was to De maintained at the existing stand ard of efficiency. Now the clouded disarmament situation has led to an energetic drive in many quarters for building up the Navy and the Air Force.
 Some of the civil departments also are expected to require larger appropriations because of the nat ural growth of their services. No large economies are in sight; the financial emergency claimed all those long ago.

PRIZE FIGHT ARENA
DUE TO Be M0VED|
Riding and Hunt Club Held
Unsafe for Gathering
of Thousands.

Abandonment of the Riding and
Hunt Club as a place for prlze-fght
matches was forecast today when the
Commissioners issued instructions that
the club must act within a week to
make the building comply structurally
With building and fire regulations.
The action was taken on a recon-
mendation by Capt. Hugh P. Dram,
director of inspection, based on Joint
inspection made last July by building
and fire inspectors
They found that in numerous cases
the building Gid not meet require
ments. Fire Marshal Calvin G Lau
Der stated today that the structure
was not retrap," but that there
were many conditions which should be
corrected in the interest Of safety of
thousands of spectators at prize fights
there.
Sport circles have been informed
that the club plans to abandon the
esta blshment by January |. The
property Is owned by William Phelps
Emo.
District engineers estimated that the
cost of revampmg the building to COM
ply with regulations would be from
$4,000 to S25.oOo If the owner of
the property or the club declined to
make the changes, it will mean no
further boxing bouts will be staged
there, although the structure could be
used for private affairs, such as horse
shows. which have been presented
there for Is years. The property is To-
Gated at Twenty-seCond and P streets.
Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen, who
supervlseS the Fire and Police De
partmentS, formerly was secretary and
treasurer of the club, but resigned
early last Summer.
