ment urgently recommended
building of two gigantic new res
ervoirs at a cost Of $400, 1000 each,
in its budget estimates for this
fiscal year 1899, which were made
public today.
Water Department superin-
tendent D. w. Holton asked for
an increase of $5S6,45O in the

1899 was $2,56o,92O. The present
appropriation is $2,024,470.
Holton urged the reservoirs,
with a capacity Of 100000 gal
Ions each, be constructed on sites
within the grounds Of the Sol
diers Home and within the
bounds of Fort Totten, on Bates
Rd. N. E., between Buchanan and

sion, said:
ut is very unfortunate. The
President must have had some
bad advice. I am certain that
if the President had been thor.
oughly conversant with the situa.
ton, he would not have vetoed
the bill"
OBJECTS TO BOILING
Representative Nichols was one
of the members of the commission
who did not sign the report rec
ommending location Of the field
at Camp Springs. Md. He had
held all along that there should
be two airports, one close in and
one further out. Questioned con.
corning the move to have COM
mercial transports land at Boiling
Field, he said:
Boiling Field could not &C
commodate commercial trans
portation. 1t is highly unfeas-
ible to have Army and Navy op-
erations at the same field at
which commercial planes land.
"The Airlines Pilots Associa-
ton will have to land their
planes at Washington Airport
now and if the corporation de.
cides to develop that property
for low cost housing or com.
mercial establishment, the Ma.
tons Capital will be without
an airport.
II think this is very unfor.
tunate because all the experts
agreed that that landing field
could be made SAFE"

U, S, TO BORROW
$817,483,000 TO
PAY OFF NOTES

G.N.SJ. New fiscal and eco
nomic problems confronted the Ad-
ministration today as bushes and
industry tuned up for fall and
winter activity.
Confronted with continued un-
steadiness in the Government Sc
curities market, the Secretary Of
the Treasury hurried to the Cap
ital by airplane following vaca-
ton in Hawaii, to direct the quar-
terly Federal borrowing program
set for September Is.
On that date, the Treasury will
seek to refund $s17,483,5 500 Of ma.
turing 3A per cent notes.
GOOD INTEREST SEEN
With confidence in Government
credit dependent on success of the
forthcoming financing operation.
Morgenthau is expected to attach
an attractive interest rate to the
new securities which will be offered
investors in exchange for the ma
turing notes.
Although the present pace OF
Federal spending will drain the
Treasury's cash reserve materially
officials decided against raising
fresh funds in one large lump on
September Is. Instead, the Treas
ury expects to augment its money
balance through weekly issues Of
short-term bills. This decision was
prompted by the present instabil
ity of the Government securities
market.
BOARD ACTS
While Morgenthau wrestleC
with the problem of preserving
Federal credit, the Federal Re
serve Board acted to maintain
easy credit conditions for in
dustry, commerce and agriculture
During past weeks, banks
throughout the nation have beer
selling portions of their govern
ment securities holdings to raise
cash for loans to business.
In a series of orders, the Boarc
reduced the discount rates at the
reserve banks in New York, Rich
mond, Atlanta, San Francisco
Minneapolis, Kansas City, Chi
cago, Dallas, Boston and st. Louis
BY this action, banks in these
reserve districts can borrow money
from the reserve institutions more
cheaply than formerly and thus
make additional credit available
to industrial borrowers.

The aviation fraternity was

Miles coupled with concern over

widespread effect.
Cliff Henderson, race director,

a good man to be that way"
The other mishap occurred

damaged so badly he was forced
