TEMPORARY SCHOOL
REQUEST OPPOSED
East Washington Heights Group
Hears Ballou FavorS Per-
manent Structure.

Supt of Schools Frank w. Bal
leu favors inclusion in the 1887
budget of an appropriation for con-
struction of new school in East
Washington Heights rather than pro-
vision for temporary building, the
East Washington Heights Citizens
Association was told last night.
w. D. Willis, chairman of the
School Committee, informed the asso-
citation that Dr.. Ballou had expressed
his views on the matter in response
to plea by the association for a
temporary eight-room structure for
the community
In communicating with the school
head, Willis said he had pointed out
that at present pupils in East Wash
1ngton Heights have to attend schools
that are at least two miles distant.
A motion was carried favoring the
laying Of gas main and the installa-
tion of gas in the homes of the resi-
dents.
w. W. HaVenner was named as a
delegate to the Federation of Citizens
Associations to succeed Cyril Albrecht,
who resigned.
1t was decided to continue to hold
the meetings in the Bradbury Heights
Methodist Church for the remainder
of the year rather than in the homes
of the members, as had been suggested.
A committee was appointed by the
president, Orlando E. Robbins to ar
range for a future card and birgo
party.

ROOSEVELT URGES
SALARIES Be PAID
1900 EMPLOYEES
Treasury Workers, Barred
by Amendment, Get
Aid in Letter.
NO INCREASED OUTLAY
HELD LIKELY BY MOVE
Budget Bureau Figures Say
$1,739,S27 to Be Impounded
From Appropriations.

The outlook for favorable action by
Congress to make available salaries
for 1900 Treasury employees who have
been working without pay since De-
cember ! because of the Mcclellan
amendment. appeared brighter today
after receipt of special recommended
tion from President Roosevelt and the
Budget Bureau.
The Presidents letter to the Senate
Appropriations Committee pointed out
that while the amount required for
these salaries from last December to
June 80 next. amounting to Sl,739.6 1927,
will have to be appropriated by Con-
gress, it will not result in any increase
in expenditures for the current year,
as the department will impound equal
amounts from the regular appropria-
tions which the department was pre-
vented from using.
Amendment Barred Funds.
At the last session of Congress, SEN
ator McKellar, Democrat of TenneS-
see, had Congress attach an amend
ment to deficiency appropriation bill
providing that no funds then available
could be used to pay the salaries of
former prohibition agents and other
employees who we're transferred from
the Department of Justice to the
Treasury Department, until they had
taken a competitive examination to
be hereafter held by the Civil Service
Commission
The message TO Congress declared
that IF funds are not made available
for the payment of these salaries, it
will result in the loss of the services
of experienced field employees. The
major portion of them have had many
years experience in enforcement and
inveStigative work
Decentralization Is Feared.
THE loss at this time of employees
In the Bureau of Internal Revenue
who are now on a non-pay status
would completely demoraliZe the func-
tioning of the alcohol tax unit of
that bureau and would no doubt cause
a general breakdown in the admins
tration of the liquor laws, resulting
in a considerable loss in revenue to
the Federal Government
The House has already passed the
TreaSury-Post Office supply bill with
out any provision for these employees,
but it is expected the Senate will con-
slider favorably an amendment as
recommended by the President.
