FISCAL PROPOSAL
C0NFR0N7S CITY
WITH CRISIS

Washington will be faced with the highest
tax burden in it's history if Congress follows
the recommendations of the Advisory Com
mittee on Fiscal Relations, which today made
public it's report proposing that the Federal
Government aid the District in 1889 with a
contribution of only total of $2,533, ,357.
The amount recommended by the advisory
committee to be paid by the Federal Govern
ment toward the maintenance of the District
in the fiscal year 1888 is the lowest Of any year
since 1889, when the Government contributed
So $4,000 as 30 per cent of the District budget
that year.
Terming the situation the gravest crisis the city has
faced years. city officials pointed out that the city will
be forced to raise an additional in meet
the proposed 1888 budget of $47581 1885, which sub
mitted to Congress today.

HEAT, COLD HIT
FOGGY STATES

Washington, visited today by a
heavy fog, is going to have a warm
spell tomorrow, with the mercury
reaching the springlike height Of
so degrees-and then the mercury
is going into a nose-dive with a
real cold spell coming on Sunday,
carrying Subfreezing temperatures.
But the entire nation is having
a spell of most peculiar weather
today, records at the Weather
Bureau showed.
For instance, st. Louis is basking
in a so degree temperature, while
out in San Francisco they are
shivering with the mercury at 81,
the freezing point.
Brownsville, Texas, reported a
high of 70 degrees, while Amar.
lilo, in the same State, recorded
zero, and Denver was 10 below.
At Concordia, Kan, one of the
strangest weather phenomena of
the year was recorded, with the
mercury standing at zero and rain
falling.
Washington's fog is caused by
stagnant tropical air from the
South, laden with moisture, and a
condensation during the cool
hours Of the night.
The lowest temperature tonight
will be about SO degrees. Rain will
start late tonight or tomorrow
here, then the mercury will climb
then start getting colder late to
morrow night-but just how cold
they can not estimate yet.
The fog belt extends all along
the Atlantic Coast from Florida to
northern New York.

Report Fails to Include
Recommendation on
u. S. Lump Sum

Washington's 1888 budget ar
rived on Capitol Hill today with
a recommendation from the
Budget Bureau for an appropria-
tion of SAT, ,581 ,265 and no amount
specified for the Federal contribu-
tion.
The recommended appropria-
tion is $2,067,375 higher than the
amount voted by Congress for
last year. 1t falls way below the
amount suggested to the bureau by
the District Commissioner and
estimates sent to the Commis-
sioners by the Department heads.
Why the Difference
The great discrepancies be-
tween the three sets of figures
can be accounted for to some ex.
tent by the fact that both the
department heads and the Com
missioners predicated their re-
quests on the hope that Congress
would grant at least the $5.000.000
lump sum, the lowest in history.
which was carried in the 1887
bill.
The department heads estimates
which we're made first to the
Commissioners totalled $50, ,655,, ),
358. These figures were pared
down by the Commissioners to
$40, ,935,475 and sent on to the
Bureau which in turn welded
the axe to the At million dollar
figure. OF the amount requested
by the Commissioners $44, 789,-
948 was for maintaining the diff
ferent departments of the govern
ment and $5,145,527 for new
buildings and improvements.
Evidence of the strict manner
in which the Commissioners went
over the department heads figures
before submitting them can be
seen in the fact that the usual
capital outlay has run between IA
and is millions in the past few
years.

President Roosevelt today pre-
sented Congress with 1888 budget

from a 1ayman'S point of view.
He predicted that if economic
continues at the pres
ent rate the budget submitted next
year would be completely bal
anced" and satisfy even a certified
public accountant.
A debt reduction item of $401,-
$4,000 keeps the 1898 budget
actually out of balance-provided
emergency recovery and relief ex-
penditureS can be kept within
$1,537, ,123. 900, he said.
Hope Within Limit
Mr.. Roosevelt advised Congress
he felt relief outlays could be SO
restricted. He withheld formal
estimate until later in the year.
At glance, the estimates for
1898 anticipate revenues of ST.
293, ,607 900 as against expendi-
lures of $6,157 .999, 900. This leaves
a temporary paper surplus of ST.
35.607, ,943 against which the
President must attempt to work
out a continuing program of work
