considerably increased. The Committee
has fixed that at $50. 10000. All the other
items remain the same down to item
IA. Excise Duty: The Committee teeIs
that 100000 is too high and therefore
has reduced the amount tlom So 10000 to
5000. 90. Coming TO SuDdry Revenues,
Item II Revenues from the Prison tbs
Committee talked the matter over with
the head of that department. after wnicn
the amount was reduced to $4,000.
We now come to tie expenditure side
OF the budget Tn r. is 20 change in
the Colonial Council Department. Under
the Municipal Committee Department it
has beer suggested that the Chairman
be furnished with telephone and instead
adding TO the amount already budgetted
the Omittee recommended that that tie
provided for from the amount budgetted
for equipment.
Money Bill lI-Judiciary Department
Here the Committee has recommended
changes. Provision is made fer
recorder. We understand that the Clerk
of the District Court. according TO the
Organic Act, will be uader the Depart
ment of Justice, so the COMMITTEE feels
that instead of having another person as
recorder recommends that the Judge Of
the Police Court of Chrlstiansted ue also
recorder and has increased his salary TO
$1,000 per annum, his travel allowance

included. 1t is recommended that we
go back TO the old system of having
Judge IN Frederiksted and, therefore, a
salary of $l,6 90 is budgetted for that
cfflce. Minor Increase have been made
In the salary of the Police Clerks, and
that brings the total under salaries to
$500.
Maintenance: l do not think it is
necessary 10 go into details. Our recon
mendallons are based upon past expert
ence.
AS regards Government Attorneys
Ofhce, the Committee feels that
lnasmuch es this office is under the De-
partment OF Justice the expenses will be
covered by that department.
Money Bill lI-police and Prison De-
partment = Salaries. The Senior District
Chlet OF Ponce IS now on leave of
absence. The Committee learns that he
does not intend to return (not officially
and. therefore, salary is provided for
him tor TWO months ard pension of
$oO. w per month is budgetted for him.
10 view OF the TACT that the office of
Senior Chief of Police and Warden of
Richmond PeniteDlIsry Deing abolished
provision Is made for v arden for the
Penltenliary and accordingly salary is
bndgeted for that position. We are told
that one Of the Sergeants will be given

Says:

Sounds like a bit of Russia to
read of Attorney General Cum
mings saying there is a heavy
fine or Jail sentence for any
merchant who displays placards
showing what part of the pur.
chase price of an article is repre-
scented by taxes. If such is the
case, the Government shouldn't
be allowed to publish the cost
of WPA projects. After. all,
those figures represent all taxes.
Seems to me that the main
trouble with business now is that
it gets too few orders from the
customers and too many from
the Administration.
What's the use of the Govern
ment trying to play it down
when, for instance, taxes have
advanced the price of meat up
to where the country is now
divided into two claSSes-thOse
with big incomes and vegeta-
rianS.
so REMEMBER:
Nothing may be sure but
death and taxes, but you can at
least publish obituaries.

FINAL HEARING
TOMORROW ON
DC. BUDGET
School Heads Seeking
$5,O3O,659 More In
1888 Period

Final hearing by the District
Commissioners on the 1888 fiscal
year budget was scheduled for to.
morrow at IL a. M, when the esti-
mates submitted by the Board of
Education will be considered.
The school board requested the
city heads to grant an increase of
$5,030.659 for educational needs
in the coming year. The board
asked total of $17,525,619. which
compares with the current appro-
priation of $12,494, 800.
Because of the uncertainty of
the amount of the Federal contri-
button and because requests Of all
departments total Is million dol.
lars in excess of the anticipated
40 million dollars revenue, it is
expected the city heads will make
heavy slaShes in the school board
estimates.
Principal increase sought by the
school board are for buildings and
maintenance, which total $4,024,-
900, compared with a current ap-
preparation of 1854, 500.
Among the new building and
land requests submitted, the board
has planned three new senior high
schools, four new junior high
high schools, new homes for the
Wilson Teachers and the Miner
Normal Schools and a number of
additions and improvements to
present structures.
