Woodin's Annual Report Es-

By the Associated Press.
Government spending at more than
billion dollars month for the first
half Of 1884 and a new peak in the
national debt was forecast today in
the Treasurys annual report to Con-
gress
The report was in the name of Will
liam H. Woodin as Secretary, having
been prepared before President Roose-
welt named Henry Morgenthau. jr., to
the cabinet post.
1t is estimated emergency recovery
costs alone would be S6,357, ,486, ,7GO
during the fiscal year that ends June
80, and general expenses 1888, SOL ,767,
1884, and an operating deficit OF

suit Of war costs, was s25, 500 900
in 1919. The postwar low was sl6,-
185 ,309, 900, in 1880.
For the fiscal year OF 1885 the Treas
ury foresaw return to a pay-as-you-
go basis for both general and emer-
gency expenditures. with the latter
dropping to $723 ,286 500.
The operating deficit for 1885 ives
estimated at 11,89702l, figure
smaller than the sinking fund require
ment and indicating, consequently, a

1t was estimated the Government
would spend nearly three times as much
in the six months from now until June

the spending will be about five times
as fast.

PLAYGROUND BUDGET

The 1885 budget sets up an appro-
priation Of s169.150 for the District
Playground Department, the figure being
approximately $4,000 greater than that
for the current year. caused mainly by
the change in the government pay cut
status.
For general maintenance and repairs
there is an item of s33,600. or $4,000
greater than the sum for the current
year.
For maintenance Of public school
Fairgrounds during the Summer months,
and for necessary temporary services,
the budget provides $23,930 for next
year, as compared with $25,00O in the
current act.
The measure provides s2,74o for re-
pairs and maintenance Of three District
swimming pools, and for $5,470 for
maintenance of bathing pools and
grounds, these being slightly higher
than figures for the current year.

INLET WORK AT
OCEAN CITY, MD.
Work Far Advanced on Con-
structiOn of South Wall;
Dredging Follows Jetty Job
DREDGING TO COST $4,000

Construction of the Ocean City
inlet entered an important phase
last week when equipment for
erecting the north, or main jetty
was moved to the beach. Upon
completion of the north jetty, con-
struction of the south wall will be
projected to complete the perman-
ent protection of the inlet. There
will then remain the task of dredg-
ing the inlet channel to a depth of
ten feet. Meanwhile, dredging of
the six-foot channel through Sine
puxent Bay Broken Marshes is
progressing and acquisition of title
to the inlet site by the Federal
Government is going forward. The
stone jetty will be a 1,346 feet ex-
tension of the $40 timber core rock
jetty recently constructed by Sam
uel E. Jones, Brooklyn, N Y, con-
tractor. Jones has also complet-
ed the sinking of 458 feet of Steel
sheet piling as an extension of the
protecting jetty into Sinepuxent
Bay. A stone and steel protective
wall 1884 feet long, from the
Ocean City end to the bay end,
will be the result when the north
ietty is finished. The south Jetty,
final step in the permanent protec-
ton of the inlet, will be 1900 feet
long. About So miles, or half the
distance required, has been covered
in the channel dredging. The spoils
are being thrown up into a chain
of islands 700 feet east of the
channel and 1000 feet apart. They
will be taken over by the State fol
the conservation commissioner
The dredging will cost $93, 900. II
is being done by the North Allan

4 ND of course there is news from

" from now on all New York sports
writer's will have to look for their
news regarding the Giants ard their
manager. Perhaps this should be
qualified There was news and there
wasn't news. Certainly it wasn't
news that the manager of the Giants
wants no traffic with the news
papers.
But it was news that of all the men
who helped him to make good as
manager of a world championship
ball club, he was enthusiastically
eager to rid himself of everybody
but Hubbell and Off, This made a
very nice story in New Orleans. 1t
would have. made a slightly better
story in New York. But apparently
the manager of the Giants wishes to
be as far away from metropolitan
writer's as he can get before he
speaks his piece.
1t is difficult to discuss the gentle
men without emotion, and for that
reason you are liable to be betrayed
into embarrassing conclusions. You
wouldn't think it. to look at him, but
he is emotional himself, which no
doubt accounts for the many en-
barraSsing positions he finds him
self in-granted that he is both
emotional and sensitive.
! concede to the gentlemen every
right to say what he pleases about
newspapers and newspaper men.
am only amazed at his titanic
dumbness. Doesn't he realize what
a soft touch he has? Can you ina
CINE what a stage star or a radio
star would do under the same cir
cumStanceS-if the columns of a
newspaper were open to him for free
exploitation?
r KNOW of only one form of
Il dumbness that exceeds that of
the manager of the Giants and that
is the year-in and year-out policy
of newspapers to continue to print
baseball ballyhoo, to make it dur
ing the summer months the all i'm
portant feature of their product,
without dime in return.
The manager of the Giants has
announced publicly that he isn't in
fOs -
mercial career is his aim. On re-
Election I am probably wrong. In
stead of being dumb he is probably
very bright. He must have said to
himself, IF the newspapers are that
silly why give EN- a tumble" And
so it may develop that the most I'M
popular manager in the history of
baseball has done the newspapers
very vital turn.

THUS the fair name of baseball
Il is saved from a fate worse than
death. The Cardinals didn't really
try to bride any opposing players.
They won on the square. Mr.. Heyd-
Ter wants you to know that. This
should make all the Cardinals feel
very swell
1t should also have fine effect on
the customers, none of whom, so
far as I have been able to determine,
ever had any other idea but that the
Cardinals, being the best team IN
the league, won honestly. Baseball
is surely a peculiar business when
the president of the league feels that
it is necessary to mount the pulpit
and solemnly avow there are no
crooks in his business.
There is news, too, from the
Giants office-and this is unique be-
cause mostly these days news about
the Giants and the Giants office
comes from obscure railroad sta
lions in the south where the man
ager happens to stop off in the course
of building character and capital
for the oil company by which he is
employed.
From the Giants Office comes the
news that young Mr.. Dick Bartell,
inflelder, has been purchased from
the Philadelphia Phillies. This is
really not news. Mr.. Bartell hap
pens to be a high-spirited, fighting,
game-winning ball player. This
practically amounts to bringing
Jimmy Durante into the metropoli-
tan opera.
mean Mr.. Bartell makes every
ball game a World war. Not since

ball player in the lineup of the
Giants. There must be a mistake

in advance that if Mr.. Bartell came
here he would have to conduct him.
