MAKES
RIJDGET SLASH
s1a533 Cut Made in Figures
for Last Year; INDECENT
Fund Reduced Most

Making Slashes in virtually all
estimates of Benton county depart
mont heads, commissioners Tues
dav reduced the total of the propos-
cd budget for 1886 to $72,150, which
is s14,533 less than the amount al
lowed for the current year.
Much of the reduction was In the
INDECENT relief item. The county
last wear allowed $4,000 and the
sum proposed this year is $5975.
Commissioners included an item OF
s2236 for mothers pensions, which
were not included in the 1885 bud
get. No money will be granted for
orchard cleanup in 1886, as was the
case in 1885 when the commission
ers set aside $1,000.
Jail Budget Cut
Commissioners doubted if the
money allotted INDECENT relief and
mothers pensions will be sufficient
and said that if it was not, emery
ency warrants will be issued. Jay
Perry, chairman, said the INDECENT
relief load should be lighter in the
county due to government work pro-
jects that have been approved.
The Jail budget was cut to $3.50,
compared with $110O in 1885, and
the superior court budget was re-
duced to $4O45.96. The budget for
the court for the current year was
$4995.96.
Commissioners defended their
action by saying that slashes were
necessary to keep the budget within
the revenue that can be raised. As
sessed valuation of the county is
$685. 39, an increase of 500 ,942.
Items in the budget follow: 90

RETIREMENT ACT
CHANGE IS PUSHED
Subcommittee to Meet in
December in Effort to
Effect Compromise.
BY ]. A. OIEARY.

Efforts to work out an amendment
to the national social security Law
that would enable industries operat-
ing their own retirement systems tc
be exempted from going into the Gov.
ernment Nationwide old-age annuity
plan will be resumed by a joint con-
gressional subcommittee, probably
some time in December.
The subcommittee was appointed
shortly before Congress adjourned
with Senator King. Democrat, OF
Utah as chairman King will be back
in Washington about the middle of
December, and a meeting is expected
to be called shortly after his return.
The membership of the joint group
was chosen from the House Ways and
Means Committee and the Senate
Finance Committee. which handled
the drafting of the social security
law.
Data Is Compiled.
At preliminary conference about
two months ago. it was decided to let
the actuaries and other experts assem-
BILE and compile additional data on the
problem during the recess and have it
ready when the subcommittee members
return to the Capitol. Before he left
the city, Senator King expressed the
hope it would be found possible to
work out an amendment that would
safeguard private industrial retirement
plans that give benefits equal to or
better than the proposed Federal
system.
The Senate, in passing the original
social security measure. adopted the
Clark amendment to exempt private
plans at least equal to the Government
system. When House and Senate con-
ferees were unable to agree on the
terms of redemption provision. how
ever, with the session drawing to a
close, 1t was decided to turn the Clark
amendment over to the joint subcom-
mittee for further study.
This cleared the way for an agree
ment under which the Senate re-
ceded from the Clark proposal, to
permit prompt enactment of the
social security program.
Plan Starts in 1887.
The social security law calls for
a pay roll tax on employees and en-
ployers to meet the cost of the Fed
eral old age benefits to be paid to
those now employed in industry. when
they retire in future, at the age of
IS.
Since the pay roll taxes for this
part of the program do not start,
however, until after December 81,
1886. Congress will have time at the
coming session to consider further
the question of exempting industries
which have plans of equal or greater
benefit. The Federal gay roll taxes
for old age benefits will start at one
per cent from the employe and one
per cent from the employer, in 1897,
increasing gradually to a maximum
Of per cent from each in the cal
endar year 1949. Benefit payments
under the Federal annuity plan would
begin in 1912.

Sultan Following Advice OF
Geological Survey on
Sanat0rium.

Repeating assurance that there will
be an adequate supply of pure water
from wells at the District tuberculosis
sapatoria at Glenn Dale, Md, Engi-
neer Commissioner Dan I. Sultan yes
terday explained his Office is following
closely advice given by the United
States Geological Survey.
Because water in the one well which
has been in service became muddy, the
District is trucking city water to the
Children's Sanatorium. Hospital Of
ficials have found this water satisfac-
tory. A huge storage tank there is
kept filled with water to assure more
than an adequate daily supply.
The work of cleaning out the well
is expected to be finished in several
days, Col. Sultan said. Meanwhile,
work is going ahead on drilling of
an additional well which already has
been carried to a depth of $50 feet.
This is to be taken to 1000 feet. or
to bed rock to obtain an even bet
ter supply.
Col. Sultan said the District is re-
ceiving and has received'the guidance
of experts from the Geological Survey
in both the planning and execution of
this work. He made the statement
to offset any fears that may have
been raised over published reports of
the temporary failure Of the present
well.
This was and is our problem" he
said, but We sought and obtained
competent advice The Geological
Survey has found there is an ample
supply of water which may be OBJ
tanned through wells. We have had
survey men observing our work. am
convinced the additional well will pro-
vide more than an adequate supply
of good water for both the children's
and adult hospitals" :.
