War Pay Will Cost
District S1,500,000
Less Than Expected
Reduction Attributed
To Failure to Fill
Many Bosic Wage Jobs
BY DON S. WARREN.

Wartime pay levels and overtime
charges will cost the District Gov
ernment this fiscal year about $2,-
900 ,000-roughly $l,500,000 less than
had been calculated months ago
it was learned today on Capitol Hill
as study was turned to the city's
deficiency and supplemental fund
needs for the remainder of this fls-
cal year.
The heavy reduction in the war
time extra pay needs of the mu-
nicipal government, which could
not be calculated earlier with ac-
curacy, is attributed mostly to huge
savings which have accrued due to
inability of the District to fill many
positions for which basic pay ap-
preparations were made.
Vacancies Cut Down Cost.
Police. f1remen, nurses and teach
er positions are among those where
vacancies have cut down the cost
OF the legislated extra pay. Antici-
patton of such factors has been one
reason for delay in preparation of
estimates for the overtime and ex-
ira pay for this fiscal year, which
ends June 80. A supplemental budg-
ct to cover this need is expected to
be forwarded to the Capitol soon.
The House received number of
deficiency and supplemental appro-
priation requests yesterday from the
President, including proposals for
an additional $400,906 for various
municipal operations. notably the
water and sewer departments.
In the 1912 fiscal year, the Dis
trict obtained congressional sane
ton to sell up to 100000 of its wa
ter department capital improve
ment reserve fund, invested in Gov
ernment securities. but later found
the extra financing not necessary
Current proposals would rescind a
plan to invest $500, 900 more in the
reserve fund and to sell enough
securities to add $4,000 to revenues
available the remainder Of this fiscal
year.
The water reserve fund, started
four years ago, now amounts to ST.
836,62l. Sale Of the proposed $780,
900 securities would be the first time
the fund was drawn upon.
Supplemental Requests.
The District supplemental re-
quests include: For operation OF the
water supply system, sl25,000. due
partly to the break in the aqueduct
