street intersections throughout the
city at which the vehicle and traffic
department was directed to erect sig
nal lights, but the Senate struck out
this list, leaving the money for
new signal lights in the bill as a
lump sum.
The Senate Committee struck out
House proviso authorizing the Pub
lie Utilities Commission to investigate
telephone rates, on the theory that
the commission already has that au-
thority under the utilities act. In
the Senate hearings, Commissioner
Richmond B. Keech said the COM
mission expects to make such inves-
tigation without regard to any Ian
guage in the bill, and described the
proviso as "surplusage"
The Senate Committee restored
$500 for the salary of the Office of
peoples counsel, now vacant. It also
gave the Utilities Commission $500
for incidental expenses.
AS previously announced the Sen
ate bill readjusts the public school
construction program to bring the
funds for colored schools up nearer
to the percentage Of solored children
IN the school population. In accom-
pllshing this the Senate Committee
made the following changes:
Added s200,00O for starting con-
struction of junior high school at
the Banneker playground site, added
$4,000 for purchase of land adjoin-
ing site Of the old Dennison School
and added $4,000 for purchase Of
land in vicinity of First and Pierce
streets northwest.
Reduce Other School Funds.
Reduced the appropriation for start
Ing new senior high school at Fifth
and Sheridan streets from s45o,ooO
TO $35O,O00. reduced the fund for
the Thomas Jefferson Memorial
Junior High School and Library from
100000 to 100000, and eliminated
$4,000 for Bradbury Heights port
able school.
Under the heading of schools the
Senate Committee also granted the
following increases over House fig
ures: Sixty-five thousand four hun
dred dollars for 80 new teachers

The Senate Committee struck out
provision for creating the position Of
fire insurance rate expert in the in
surance department, although supt. Of
Insurance J. Balch Moor reiterated in
the Senate hearings his House testi-
mony to the effect that fire insurance
rates here are too high in relation to
fire losses
The committee also struck out
$l3,040 the House had inserted for
establishment OF bonding commits
sion, under the Corporation Counsel,
to enable the District to furnish the
bonds required in local courts. The
fees for such bonds would have be-
come = source Of municipal revenue.
Corporation Counsel Seal told the
Senate Committee that since the
House acted, he has made inquiry and
found that no other city Is using the
plan, and that he doubted its feasi-
bility.
The Senate Committee struck out
two other House riders, one Of which
would have prevented pay increases
called for by the reallocation OF po-
sitions under the classification act.
The other provided that no appropri-
alton would be available for the ex-
pense OF Issuing congressional tags
except to those persons designated by
law to receive them.
Several Small Increases.
The Senate bill makes various small
increases for many other municipal
activities, including the following
For sewer work, $47,970; for collec-
ton Of refuse, $38,35O, and recorder
OF deeds ONCE. $l2,460.
The final decision on all these
changes will rest with the conferees
for the two branches, after the Sen
ate passes the bill The conclusions
reached by the conferees also will
determine the exact amount of the
impending deficit the local COM
munity will have to make up in new
taxes.
In the Senate hearings the Com
missioners said they hoped it will be
possible to raise the additional rev.
enue needed without increasing rea.
estate. Commissioner Sultan told the
Senate group that if the supply bill
as finally passed requires s7,500,000
OF additional local revenue and the
new tax bills now pending do not pass,
it would be obligatory on the Commis-
sioners to raise the rate on real and
personal property. And to meet a
deficit Of that size, he said, would
mean boosting the real estate rate
from $3.50 to $2.lo per 500 of assessed
value.

INCREASED FUND
j. URGED BY BALL0U
Asks Allotment Of Larger
Part of D. c. Budget
to Schools.

Allotment of a larger part of the
District budget to the school system
vas advocated by Supt. Frank w.
allou in the Senate hearings on the
93S supply bill, but he and District
auditor D. J. Donovan arrived at
lfferent calculations as to what per-
Pentage is now going for schools.
Cites Comparisons.
Using Census Bureau figures for
comparison with other cities, DR.. Bal
lou said Washington is devoting 242
per cent of its municipal budget to
schools. Declaring that Is small"
compared with other cities of COM
parable size, the superintendent gave
the average for cities of over 100000
population as 344 per cent and for
cities Of over 100000 persons 27.5 per
cent.
Donovan contended that when gas
tax and water rents are eliminated
since they can only be spent for
highway and water Improvements
the schools ARE receiving approx
imately one-third of current general
taxes and other revenues" DR.. Bal
lou said he believed the Census Bu-
reau has endeavored to make the
facts comparable.
Declared Immaterial.
Chairman Thomas concluded the
discussion by saying he regarded
l the percentage as immaterial. Be-
cause this is the National Capital,
Thomas said, 1t might be necessary to
spend more for some other activity
He said he thought the decision
should rest on whether the schools
are getting fair sum.
DR.. Ballou agreed to that as an
abstract proposition, but called atten-
ton to the rapid annual increase in
school enrolment, which is approach
Ing the 100000 mark.
Senate Committee changes result in
q net increase of $l74,435 above the
House bill for school purposes.

ury. These percentages are based on
the estimated ratio OF Federal and
local business transacted in these
courts
1t would tighten the burden on
the Districts general revenue fund
by about 100000, and, while this is
a comparatively small amount In the
picture Of the city's total outlay for
the coming year, it recognizes the
claim heretofore made that because
this is the Nations Capital, these
higher courts devote a substantial
part OF their time to the legal
affairs Of the Federal Government
The Senate committee supported the
Thomas subcommittee in declining to
add $l,000000 to the unemployment
relief fund. The bill, however, does re-
store the $53, 500 the House cut from
the relief estimate for administrative
expenses. This leaves the relief fund
in the bill at the budget figure OF
sl,465 900.
During the hearings, one group OF
civic organizations urged an additional
sl.000,o0O to care for employables who
are out Of work. Another group, in
cluding the Board of Trade and
Federation Of Citizens Associations
opposed the increase.
Receiving Home Retained.
The House provision to abandon
the Children's Receiving Home on July
l, and substitute system of boarding
homes, was knocked out. In proposing
the changes, the House reduced the
appropriation for care of such children
from $4,000 to $4,000 The Senate
restored to the Welfare Board author
lty to maintain a suitable place sepa-
rate from the House Of Detention for
The housing of children under II who
come into the custody either of the
Welfare Board or the police.
The Senate also eliminated the
House rider that sought to deprive
more than 5000 per diem employees
OF the District of all annual and sick
leave, by stip lating that they could
be paid only for days they work.
This does not add to the total cost of
the bill, however, since the budget
for various municipal departments was
prepared with view to giving these
men the leave they are entitled to.
Parkings Care Returned.
The Senate committee also trans
ferred back to the citys general
fund the expenditures for maintaining
the trees and parkings division, for
paving under the assessment and per-
NIT system and paving around Gov-
ernment property, and for the main
tenance of the motor vehicle depart
ment. The House had sought to make
these functions charges against the
gasoline tax fund, which is used only
for general highway and bridge con-
struction,
The House specified a score Of

In addition to deciding to place
public hospitals under the Health De-
partment instead Of Welfare, the COM
mittee made the following increases
tuberculosis Sanatoria, $2O,477 for
personnel and $4,000 for mainten-
ance; Gallinger Hospital, $32180 for
personnel and $4,000 for mainten-
ance. The amendment which Senator
Thomas will offer on the floor today

hospitals from the Welfare Board was

preparations Committee, but wa

Some of the institutions under the
Board OF Public Welfare were given
