In his comment on the District

Court Costs Divided.
The Commissioners already have
declared they will hold their esti-
mates close to expected revenues, so
they may send to the Budget Bureau
the $4,000, 900 program.
Mai. Donovan revealed that a def
mite understanding had been reached
with officials of the Budget Bureau
and the Department of Justice for a
transfer to the United States of por-
tions of the costs of the District
Court and the United States Court of
Appeals, which in the past have been
borne wholly by the District. The
plan is to have the United States pay
40 per cent of the costs of the District
Court and 10 per cent of the costs Of
the Appellate Court. in recognition
Of the percentages of the business Of
the courts declared to be Federal
rather than District in nature.
In his calculations, Maj Donovan
referred to a real estate tax rate Of
4l.50 per $780, The rate has been in
creased for this year to SITS. In his
conclusions, however. Maj. Donovan
stated that If the new business priv
ilege tax and the increased tax rate
are not to be continued for another
year, his estimates of revenue would
call for the adoption OF some other
forms Of increased taxation which
would bring in The needed extra $6,-
100000.
There was revenue deficit of ST.
73o, ,487 at the end of the 1887 fiscal
year, which ended last June 80. This
becomes a first charge against this
years revenue.
Deficit Is Seen.
The 1888 appropriation charges,
Mai. Donovan figured, would amount
to S42.386,5o3, including an allowance
OF $450,000 which may be appro-
priated by Congress as supplementals
and deficiencies. Against this figure
he calculated this years revenues
would amount to SAL .587 900, which
would indicate there would be q
deficit at the end Of this fiscal year
Of roughly 100000
But Mai. Donovan calls this a
"paper deficit" since the new estate
and inheritance taxes are estimated
to bring in that amount of money
which will be available next fiscal
year but not this year. This years. S
revenues anticipate the collection Of
$3,000,000 from the business privilege
tax and 100000 from the increase in
the taxes on insurance business, both
