Estimates Being Analysed.
Meanwhile District officials and civic
leaders are settling down to an an
alysis of the estimates submitted to
Congress yesterday by the Budget
Bureau.
Supt. of Schools Frank w. Ballou
said he had no criticism of the $l3,-
328,O76 school budget as approved by
the bureau.
Looking at it in the light of the
whole financial picture of the Dis
trict," he said, "the school budget is
probably as good as we could reason
ably expect"
DR.. Ballou said the school officials
could not work for restoration of any
items cut out by the bureau but would
concentrate on defense of items ap-
proved.
The superintendent pointed out to
the Public School Association at the
District Building last night that in
crease in budget in any year is .
necessity. He cited as an example the
yearly legal increase in teachers SAL
aries.
If the budget were kept the same
and no provision made for this nor
NAL and legal obligation" he said, ut
would necessitate cutting down the
teaching staff to make money avail
able for these increases"
DR.. Ballou said he was not referring
to the 1899 budget where as far as
he knew, the item for step-ups in pay
is still included.
Citizens to Discuss Budget.
The whole question of the District
budget, prospective taxes and fiscal
problems now facing the city will be
taken up at special meeting tomor-
row afternoon of the Fiscal Relations
Committee Of the Federation Of Citi-
Zens' Associations.
This was announced by Edwin s.
Hege, chairman of the committee.
Findings of the committee will be kept
in confidence until submitted to q
meeting of the Federation Saturday
night, Mr.. Hege said.
To finance the new budget for 1899.
he said, speaking personally, will be
q real problem.
Possibly some heads of departments
in the District government may seek
the support of citizens associations
and other agencies for the inclusion
Of items that were deleted by the Com
missioners or the Budget Bureau.
"On this point, he added, mo such
support need be expected unless the
request therefor be accompanied with
a showing as to how the objectives
may be attained through a realloca-
tion of funds within the local budget
or else specifically what taxes are sug-
gested for imposition for increasing
in order to finance the items sought. u
