Other developments at tho White House conferences included indications that permanent airmail legislation would not be pushed vigorously at this session and that ities" amendment might be classed as "vital legislation"

 The new appropriation estimate will be submitted to the house ap- propriations committee and car Tied in the deficiency supply bills, which is the last regular appropri- ation bill to go through congress. It was considered possible that In addition to 1.600,O00,O0O for pub lie works. additional 5000, 1000. 900 might be asked for the new emer- geficy relief works system and the civilian conservation corps.
 Budget estimates indicated use of $3,15O,000, ,000 for unemployment projects during the next fiscal year. Congress already has appropriated $950, 000.000 for winding up the CWA and giving the new relief works system funds to carry on until June 30.
 The new public works estimate will probably provide for use of $60,000,00O for construction of war ehips under the Vinson navy bill. 1t also may carry funds for con- struction of new airmy airplanes.
 The president lists the federal deposit guarantee bill and the municipal bankruptcy aid measure among legislation he considers ne- cessary for passage this session. The first has passed the senate. It amends the Class Steagall act to continue full guarantee or deposits up to $2,500. The bankruptcy measure has passed the house.

 Every indication pointed to side tracking of the communications commission bill. the commodity exchange regulation measure and the Wagner-LeWis uneployment insurance tax bill. However these may be acted on if congress finds early adjournment impossible.

Is to be used principally for pay roll purposes and for purchase of equipment. Purchase of two tractors, needed for the work at the golf course has been made and the machines were put to use when 1t was seen that the government loan was going to be made.
 Preliminary arrangements for the granting of the loan were car ried on between Secretary Thomas r. Moore of the board of park commissioners, for the City of Wa terbury and agents of the govern ment. At the last meeting of the park board, MT Moore informed the commissioner that the final arrangements had been made and all that was necessary was the receipt of the agreement.
 MT Moore was authorized by vote of the park commissioners to carry on the negotiations until complete, inasmuch as he appeared the most familiar with the situa- ton.
 First Big Grant in State
 This loan Is reported to be the first large grant of the government to any city in the state. The state itself has received funds from time to time.
 The agreement carries all the terms usually found in a contract from tho borrowing of money, such as the manner of repayment. In the loan agreement, the City Of Waterbury and the park depart ment will pay back $2,500 annually beginning in 1885.
 Secretary Moore said to-day that the major part of the work on the golf course has been completed but that the remainder will take about 90 days. It IS hardly expected that play on the second nine holes VIII be permitted this year. because the greens will have to be seeded and other preparations made to bring the holes up to the standard re- quired for play.
