fer's st. Johns eleven.
Although Mckinley would seem
to have lost part of its ferocity in
the 21-0 lacing administered by
Maury High, undefeated cham
pionS of Tidewater, Va, last Sat
urday in Norfolk, the Presidents
must necessarily be rated the long
shots.
Coach Carl Heintel's charges
haven't lost an interhigh tilt yet,
but they have been tied twice,
whereas Tech has triumphed the
same number of times. Further
more, Coach "Rusty" Thompson's
lads downed Eastern, 60, while
the Lincoln Parkers played a dead
lock with the Nebraska Avenue
gridders.
st. Johns, boasting one of the
best scholastic machines = in the
District, has little to fear from the
Anacostians, a team that has been
sapped by injuries and has al
most nothing more than an un-
quenchable fighting spirit to offer.
The Cadets would do well not to
forget that one factor, however,
because Coach ROLAND Lund has
drilled his boys we'll in the art OF
springing surprises.
Surveying results in the immedi-
ate vicinity, we find Alexandria S

The Princeton line was weak

touchdown.
Navy gained almost twice as

Jared remarkably well.
He is by far one of the classieSt
126-pounderS in action today. He
throws a short right hand with

in the District, recently returned
from a successful jaunt throughout

feated every one in sight, climax
ing the trip by winning the Euro

Freddie is one of the trickiest

and many are of the opinion that
he may "out-cute" the Chicagoan.
It figures to be a close and inter

writer is stringing along with Leo

Nate Lewis, pilot of Kodak, fig
ureS his boy a safe bet to win,
but claims Leo will have to be on

the trick.
Kodak has the stuff to win,
but this Miller is one cute
fighter. Leo will have to set the
pace for the entire distance,
never giving Freddie a chance
to get set. If he folds up and
let's Miller take the play away
from him-well, it will be just
too bad. Leo has trained extra
hard for this bout, and I know
he can take the offensive and

Savings OF $3.50
Effected By Board
Commissioners Discuss Further Economies as Time
Approaches for Preparation Of Budget for 1899

on the eve Of consideration Of
next years budget Of the various
city departments, members Of the
Board Of finance yesterday at a
three hour and "A : half meeting
recommended earmarking of fur
thef savings Of $3.50 to be trans
ferred into the reserve contingency
fund.
The board changed the figures
offered to the board Of aldermen
and rejected in the instance Of the
error relating to amount Of the
teachers salary cut and referred
this item, now amounting to 964.-
950.7i, back to the aldermen for
transfer into the contingency fund.
The aldermen had remarked that
the figure presented to them did not
allow for the controllers ONCE err
ror in figuring cuts from the nom
existent salaries of the teachers
through july and August.
Deficiency
The aldermen did, however, trans
fer 5000 from this item to make
up a deficiency in the required

project. Both Mayor Frank Hayes
and Commissioners John II. Goss ap-
proved Of this change and the re-
scinding Of the previous vote where
by a new appropriation was to be
set up for this purpose.
Welfare Fund
Sentiment Of the board members is
that the fund should be used for
all expenses related to welfare and
a project now under consideration
at Washington, which will employ
200 men now receiving relief, will
require S25, 900 from the city to make
up the WPA requirements when the
project is approved.
The matter Of insurance on vari-
GUS city buildings came up for dis
cussion and the board expressed sur
prise when Controller Sherwood l..
Rowland told them that the insur-
ance on the isolation hospital had
been cancelled. 1t was moved by
Commissioner GoSs that the insur-
ance be reinstated. The controller
described the municipal hospital as
q white elephant" and issue was
made by board members, Corpora
ton Counsel Charles s. O'Connot.
and City Clerk John p. Fitzmaurice
that the board never had voted to
cancel the insurance. A binder" Of

pital with the question Of permanent
Insurance referred to the economy

Another motion provided for
transfer of $1,000 from the con-
tingency fund for a new appropria-
ton in the controllers office to pro-

Sil3,b0O which the finance board
had arranged for immediate dis
posal of the welfare department, for
whose benefit the salary cuts were
made. The controllers Office had set
the total amount Of the savings Of
the salary cut at $l92, 392.2O, where
as there was Sl1,749S3 figured as 10
per cent of the teachers salaries
during the vacation season which
was improperly included in the esti-
mate.
And the board changed the orig
inal vote providing for these trans
fers to the contingency fund for
direct relief, in order that the app
plication Of this large amount may
serve other needs within the well
fare department, such as the related
proposals for employment Of those
on relief under WPA participation.
This change applied specifically
to the transfer Of $852,50 from the
welfare funds to pay for repairs to

DR.. Edward J. Godfrey, city
health officer, reported to the board
that the abattoir is almost self
supporting as relates salaries of en-
ployes, light charges, etc., and that
It Is not run for profit but as a
public enterprise for the protection
OF the general health. He quoted
the fees charged for services at
the abattoir and the board voted to
send his letter to the bond lawyers,
along with a vote by the board Of
aldermen appropriating the money.
