New Revenue Sources to Be Dis

Need for More Funds.

Hearings on the 1888 District bud

reau in the Treasury Department
Monday, November 2, Maj. Daniel ].
Donovan, District auditor, announced
today.
Donovan said the estimates ap-
proved by the Commissioners will go
to the Budget Bureau either tomorrow
or Wednesday.
: Meanwhile. he has called another
meeting of the special committee on
new sources of revenue to be held
Thursday. Tho meeting. however, will
have no bearing on the 1888 esti-
mates, although Donovan reiterated
today "the District has to have more
money"
The budget, divided into two parts,
calls for expenditures of $47,895,0l5,
which will leave the District facing
deficit of approximately $7,50o,00o un-
less the Federal contribution is in
creased over the $4,000, 900 appropri-
ated last year, or unless the tax rate
Of $1.50 is boosted.
The first part Of the budget calls
for s42, ,S05 ,30S, which covers bare op-
Grating expenses and does not include
any capital expenditures and expan-
sion or improvement of services. The
second part-$5,0Ss, ,707-includes cap
ital investments regarded by the Com
missioners as being absolutely essen
tial.
At the end Of this year a deficit of
81 ,064. .000 will be carried into the
1898 fiscal year. This will become a
first charge against 1888 revenues.
The estimated revenues, including a
Federal contribution of $4,000, 900. will
be only $36.350 900. This is Offset par
TALLY by 1-cent increase in the gas
oline tax, although money raised from
that source can be used only for
highway maintenance and improve

Maj. Donovan. In announcing the
meeting of the Revenue Committee,
said it would compile further data to
be submitted to the Commissioners. but
said their findings probably will have
no connections with the pending new
budget. The committee already has
made two partial reports to the
Commissioners.
Members Of the committee are Mai.
Donovan, chairman; Richmond B..
Keech, vice chairman of the Public
Utilities Commission; Elwood Seal,
corporation counsel; Capt. H. c.
Whitehurst. director of highways, and

PRESIDENT of Dominican Re.
public Makes Appeal for
Huqe Memorial.

President Trujillo of the Dominican
Republic in q special Columbus day
message. released here by the Do
minican Legation, appealed today for
the support of the United States and
other American countries toward erec-
ton of a memorial lighthouse in Co.
lumbus' honor on the coast Of Santo
Domingo.
The project has received the In
dorsement of all American republics at
several Pan-American Conferences, but
has been held in abeyance because Of
funds. President Trujillo asked the
help of sister republics in renewing
activity.
Move Launched in 1923.
The history of international support
for the lighthouse memorial dates back
to 1923. when a resolution was adopted
at the Fifth International Conference
of American States, recommending
that the governments of the Ameri-
can republics honor the memory Of
Christopher Columbus by the erec-
ton of q monumental lighthouse,
which will bear his name, on the
coast of Santo Domingo, capital of
the Dominican Republic, and which
shall be built with the cooperation Of
the governments and people Of
America and any others who may so
desire"
To give effect to this resolution, the
governing board of the Pan-American
Union. composed of the American
Secretary of State and ENJOYS Of
other American republics In WASH
ington. appointed permanent COM
mittee which sponsored worldwide
architectural competition for a de-
sign for the proposed memorial. An
international jury Of award, meeting
in Madrid, selected 10 designs from
455 submitted by architects of 4S
countries. The winning plan was
submitted by ]. l.. Gleave, q young
British architect.
Site Chosen.
Gleave's design Is in the form of q
huge recumbent cross, which would
be erected in pan-American park
site set aside by the Dominican gov
ernment, near the First Cathedral Of
America, where Columbus remains
