SENATE ACTION
AWAITED TODAY.
ON LOCAL FUNDS
Bill Canies$48,
Full of Surprises

A District appropriation bill
carrying q potential total Of $48,.
156,328 awaited action today in
the Senate.
Full of surprises as reported
late yesterday by the Appropria-
tions Committee, it was slated for
discussion and possible passage
before nightfall.
In round figures it carries $780,.
900 above the appropriations for
the current fiscal year and a mil.
lion and a quarter more than ap-
propriated by the House.
DEFICIT OF 100000
To Washington taxpayers, It
meant that unless the Senate bill
is cut drastically by the Senate or
in conference the District will
have to find new taxes to make
up an estimated deficit in excess
Of $4,000,0oO for the year begin
ming July / next.
A ray of hope to those who foot
the bills was held out by Senator
Elmer Thomas CD of Oklahoma,
chairman of the District Appropri-
ations Subcommittee in charge, in
an admission that some items writ
ten in by the committee were for
trading purposes. He predicted
that the confereeS will cut some
of them out.
THREE SURPRISES
Surprises included:
/. Provision for so more police
men than are provided in the
House bill, with the understand
ing that most of them will be
assigned to traffic duty.
2. A gift of a new $4,000 reser.
voir to Northwest Washington,
to he built in the Soldiers Home
grounds, for the purpose Of in
creasing preSSureS in the area
to the north.
3. A $150,000 appropriation to
buy a site for a new National
Guard Armory.
UnderpaSseS beneath Dupont
and Thomas Circles were def
nitely dead unless the House con-
fereeS succeed in putting them
back over the emphatic opposi-
tion of Thomas.
100000 FOR BRIDGE
Anacostia apparently is about
to realize its dream Of q new
bridge over the Anacostia River
at Pennsylvania Avenue. The
Senate bill carries $500, 900 for it.
There is more money in the
Senate bill for tuberculosis con-
troll. The National Training
School for Girls and Children's
Receiving Home items are re-
stored in the Senate bill.
For an investigation Of public
relief" in Washington the Senate
bill appropriates $4,000 against
the House $4,000.
But it was the public school
system which, as predicted in The
Times, got the biggest break Of
all. The House pared $3.50, ,0O6
from budget estimates for the
schools, while the Senate jumped
the House figure $605, ,558.
