Funds Are Provided
To Continue Building
Central Library
Site for Anucostiu
Bronch Also Included
In 1912 Estimates

Funds to continue construction of
the new Central Library and to
acquire a site for a branch library
in Anacostia are provided in the
1912 public library budget reported
to the House today by the Appro-
priation Committees subcommittee
on the District budget.
The bill carries a total for the
library of 1924 ,eS5 which is s145, ,745
more than the appropriation this
year, but s125,0O0 less than the
amount approved by the Budget
Bureau
The present budget carries $780,
600 for the new Central Library
and s450,O00 was proposed to carry
on the werk next year.
More recent estimates submitted
by the municipal architect, the
subcommittee said, indicated only
about three quarters of this amount
would be needed in 1912 The COM
mittee recommended $4,000.
The Anacostia branch library has
been NO T ON the library's priority
list for some time and has been in
constant demand by residents of
the Southeast area, who contend
there Is no library service east OF
the Anacosita River. The original
estimate was for $4,000 but the
committee cut it to $4,000. This
item is contained in supplemental
estimate.
During the hearings before the
subcommittee Librarian Clara Her
bert pointed to the large increase
in the Anacosita area population
and to the fact there are 13 public
schools, a junior senior high school
and nine parochial schools in the
section. She suggested site near
Minnesota avenue, Good Hope road,
Naylor road and Nichols avenue Sc
She warned of rise in land values
and consequent increase in price If
purchase is delayed.

in passing the legislative bill, which
authorizes him to employ a 5000

tion becomes available. Meanwhile,
the Senator expects to call an or
ganization meeting within a week

posals to subcommittee. One of

bill to exempt hospital property
from taxation.

Reduction in Autos for Officials
Urged to Spare Toxpoyers

One of the ways for the District
to save money for urgent budget
needs is to take away some of the
automobiles in which 145 District
officials and inspectors ride around
at District expense, the House ap-
preparations subcommittee was told
by witness, according to testimony
made public today.
The witness, Mrs. Ruth Lester
Buchanan, was insistent that Cor
poration Counsel Richmond B.
Keech should be relieved of his car.
'I think an official who only has
to come over to Congress from the
District Building can very easily
come over on his two feet or take
a taxicab," Mrs. Buchanan observed
HE is getting good salary from
the government"
Recalling that request had been
made for q car for the nursing serv-
ice Of the Health Department. Rep
resentative Thomas, Democrat, Of
