Health Funds Hint Dropping
OF Business MANAGER

The District Health Department
apparently will lose its business
manager June 30, after one year of
experiment with this new activity.
it was learned today as the 1910
District supply bill was reported to
the House
Clear indications were given to-
day that the bill does not contem-
plate continuation of the salary for
the post for another year. Neither
the bill nor the report of the hear
ings by the District Appropriation
Subcommittee makes any mention
of continuation of the post.
The position has been held since
last July by Col Herbert B. Hay
den, a retired Army officer Health
Officer George c Rutland recently
disapproved a number of recon-
mendations made by Col. Hayden.

ging unduly. The schools will only
be able to do $25 900 less than dur
ing the present year in this category,
1t was indicated.
Transportation Held Inadequate.
The cut in the item for trans
portation of crippled children was
made despite testimony before the
committee that because of the
$4,000 allowance this year trans
portation for children in outlying
districts had to be dropped. There
are a number of children for whom
transportation would be provided Il
more funds were allotted, officials
said.
The schools have taken exception
to the rider concerning the pay OF
librarians. claiming that the work of
a school librarian is different from
that of the regular librarian. The
school librarian must have virtually
a teachers background, it was said.
to provide adequate service to pupils.
DR.. Ballou has stated that although
at the present time the salaries of
the two librarian groups are about
the same. that school librarians
would be held back later on by the
Public Library pay scales. Their pay
rates are provided for in the Teach
ers' Salary Act and claim is made
that such a rider constitutes a dan
gerous precedent of changing the
statute in other cases.

Reveals Squirt in Jobs

A sharp rise in employment after
seven slow months pulled last year
out of the red for the District Pub

reported during hearings on the
1910 District budget before the
House Subcommittee on District APP
preparations.
After tagging 5000 jobs behind its
1897 total Director C. E. Lamson
said, the Office suddenly reversed
itself Registrations went down.
placements went up. In the last
five months of the year enough men
were placed to make up the slack
and put the total ahead of 1887,
Questioned on the relation Of
Works Progress Administration en-
ployes to his Office, Mr.. Lamson
admitted that w. P. A. workers are
refusing jobs in private industry,
however.
They have had quite time get
ting on w. P A. and they have
been in need" he said. Then when
they finally get on, they are afraid
to accept private employment for
fear, if they lose their jobs, they will
not be able to get back on w. P. A."
This fear, he said, has resulted
in a serious trend toward freezing"
men on the w. P. A. rolls More w.
P. A. people would be employed, he
declared, if the w P A. law, or the
administration of it, could be
amended so that if person accept
ed private employment and was dis
charged he could be retransferred
to w. P. A.

Fire Insurance
Rates Urged
House Appropriations
Committee Contends
Costs Too High

Charging that fire insurance rates
in Washington are too high, the
House Appropriations Committee in
reporting the 1910 District supply
bill today recommended that action
be taken by the superintendent of
insurance to bring about reduction.
The only reference to the reduction
in fire insurance rates was made in
a brief section in the committee
report on the bill which said:
THE committee believes that fire
insurance rates in the District of
Columbia are too high and that
careful study should be given to
this matter by the superintendent
OF insurance and that action be
taken by him as soon as possible
looking toward q reduction in such
rates
THE committee is of the opinion
that this study should be under
taken Immediately and that definite
recommendations should be avail
able for it's information at the time

District Repayment
Raised 10 S837,500
In Park Acquisition
Settle Says Rate
Boost Made Without
His knowledge

The Budget Bureau acted without
knowledge of the National Capital
. Park and Planning Commission in
boosting the District repayment to
the Federal Government under the
Capper-Cramton Act from the
{ minimum of 100000, which has
been paid during four consecutive
fiscal years. to 1897 500 for the COM
ing fiscal year.
I'VE did not know it until we
saw it in the President printed
estimates Thomas S. Settle. sec
rotary to the commission, testified
in connection with the District ap-
preparation bill hearings. it was re-
vealed today The commission had
submitted an estimate of $500, 900,
he said.
Asked the reason for the increase.
Mr.. Settle said. You will have to
ask the Budget Bureau about that"
Four Years at Minimum.
The increase during the coming
fiscal year would increase total Dis
trict repayments under the act since
the fiscal year 1882 to S5,568,7l1.
During the first three fiscal years
under the act. District repayments
were 81 100000 year They dropped
to S53l,2ll the following year and
then for the next four years to the
legal minimum of 100000 a year.
Expenditures under the act since
the fiscal year 1881. including 1888,
have totaled $5,l22, $50. according to
the Park and Planning Commission.
The Capper-Cramton Act author
lied Federal appropriations totaling
Sl600000O, to be spent in acquiring
land for parks, parkways and play
grounds within the District. to be
repaid by the District at rate OF
not less than 100000 year. After
repayments of $1,000 900 year dur
ing the first three years, according
to the testimony, the District Com
missioners objected and the pay
ments thereafter were reduced.
Gives Probable Reason.
Later. Mr.. Settle testified that a
probable reason for the increase Or
dered by the Budget Bureau for
next year is due to the fact that
the District during the coming year
will finish repayments to the Fed
eral Government on public works
loans for use under the Capper-
Cramton Act.
The public works loans were made
under a 1884 act authorizing the
District Commissioners to borrow
up to sl1 100000 of such funds, Mr..
Settle explained.
They never used all of that au-
thorization.' he said. The loan
was to be repaid at Sl000,0 900 year
and the advance under the Capper-
Cramton Act was to be repaid at not
less than 100000 year. That
totaled Sl,300,000. The two together
were repaid at the rate of 81 ,3OO,O 600
a year until this year, when they
do not have to pay back 100000
The 1897 500 subtracted from 81 ,300,-
900 gives you what they have to
pay back this year for public works
loans, 1852 500 The Budget Bureau,
as l understand it, took the two to-
gether. s462.50O, as the balance.
That clears up the old public works
loan entirely and, subtractlng 1t
from Sl,3OO,OOO. which they have
paid year after year, leaves 1887 500

proper persons" Mr.. Collins asserted.
ut is about as strict as you can
make language
Mr.. Van Duzer explained that he
assigned the tag numbers on receipt
of applications bearing Congress-
mans name, that they were issued
by his chief clerk, that Capitol en-
ployes simply served as messengers
and that a notation was made when
tags leave the office
Mr.. Van Duzer said it would be
difficult to check all the names of
congressman. as Mr.. Collins sug-
gested, and pointed out that the ap-
plication for the tag contains the
provision that the application can
be considered only when it is signed
by Congressman.
The difnculty has since been ironed
out by the District Commissioners
agreeing to issue the congressional
tags in strict conformance with the
law. The bill reported out by the
subcommittee today showed no no.
ticeable dent in the appropriation
for Mr.. Van Duzer's department.

An unfulflled threat to cut off the

ened debate during the hearings
before the House Subcommittee on
District Appropriations, it was
learned today.
Centering around the issuance OF
congressional tags to persons not
members of Congress, the threat was
made by Chairman Collins after he
had cited the case of member OF
Congress who was charged with
having lost a congressional tag IN
some hit-and-run accident when
the facts showed later that the tag
that was charged to him was tag
that was actually in the possession
of some one else"
Mr.. Collins then rebuked Trafhc
Director William A. Van Duzer for
not seeing to it that the tags are
delivered direct to congressman by
somebody in his office to make sure
they we're both applied for by Con-
gressmen and delivered to them.

these appropriations shall be avail

lions Subcommittee of the House
showed that in 1888 the Community
Center Department received $102 900
and spent $lOl ,999, leaving an esti-
mated savings and unobligated bal
ance of one dollar.
That in itself called for some
comment on the part of Mr.. Collins.
Then what happened but the con-
tingent expense item of the Amer
icanization School came up showing
a $500 allowance and $500 expendi-
ture in 1898.
II see that dollar still rolling
around here as a saving" COM
mented the subcommittee chair
man. 1T looks mighty Lonesome"
