sought $2,132,600 for new con-
struction.
The budget provides, however,
that the department. should receive
all but $150000 of the 81 ,227 900 1t
asked as operating expenses. In all,
under this budget, the city would
spend $97 200 more than 1t is spend
ing this year for public recreation.
Milo Christensen, recreation di-
rector, has been asked by the board
to suggest new order Of priority
for scaled-down construction plan
ming. The building of the first unit
of a new fieldhouse for the Turkey
Thicket Playground is expected to
head this list.
Mr.. Christensen and the board
will have plenty of projects to
choose from in deciding on 1949
construction, for their original
budget request was based on
heavy backlog Of needed improve
ments left over from the war years.
The possibilities include construc-
ton Of field houses at the Hillcrest
and Georgetown Fairgrounds, util-
ity buildings at Macomb and Noyes,
shelter houses at 10 locations and
land improvements at 30.
The board also had contemplated
the possibility of round SWIM
ming pools at the Taft. Randall and
Fort Reno Recreation Centers.

Traffic Department

The city will have to get along
FOR another year without a central
control plant for its traffic signals.
TRAFFIC Director George E. Keneipp
had included a $4,000 item for es-
tablishment of such q plant is his
$685., 900 departmental estimate to
the Commissioners. Later, it was
learned, he withdrew the request.
Elimination of this item accounts
for almost half of the cut admin
istered by the city heads in pairing
the traffic budget down to 1929, TOO.
The budget would authorize Mr..
.Keneipp to proceed with the IN
stallation Of new parking meters, to
be paid for out Of the fees they
collect. According to Wallace L.
Braun, deputy director Of the de-
partment, about 1000 such meters
will be installed in fiscal 1949, II
Congress approves, These meters
would be put In the, area bounded
roughly by Constitution avenue, Six
teenth street, K street and Sixth
street NV, and would bring the
total number Of parking meters in
the District to approximately 5000.
The budget would allow the de-
partment to proceed with programs,
slightly scaled down from original
aims, to modernize the city's traf-
fic signs at a cost of about $4,000
and to install at least 10 new traf-
fic lights.

Welfare

Relief clients may be allowed
grants closer to living costs, If Con-
gress approves the welfare estimates
for the next fiscal year.
The budget requests a $464, 900 in
crease in public assistance funds
which would mean that Federal
funds, apportioned on percentage
basis, also would be increased by
approximately $4,000. tslS -
y Approval of this estimate would
make possible an increase in relief
grants from the present 80 per cent
below living costs to 10 per cent.
Welfare officials said the increase
would not be possible, however. If
unemployment develops, or If the
chest x-rays, beginning today, throw
an additional burden on the We'll
fare Board by turning up new cases
in need of assistance.
The Welfare Board estimate of
s25, $50 ,220 for all welfare activities
was cut to $13,258,s00 by the Com

priation.
The largest part of the welfare
estimate is payment of $7,082 600 to
st. Elizabeth's Hospital for support
of the INDECENT insane. The increase
of $753,000 over the current budget
is due to the increase In the daily
rate from $2.55 to $3.50.
The budget estimate includes re-
quests for $250,000 for construction
Of an employees residence and $115,-
BOO for a medical staff residence at
the District Training School at
Laurel, Md. Another 5000 is sought
to draw plans for a children's center
at Laurel.
An increase of $4,000 for board
and $4,000 for clothing is requested
for children under the Welfare
Boards care.

Police

An addition of 205 more uni
formed policemen is recommended
in the budget for the next fiscal
year. In addition to these, 80 more
clerical employees would be provided.
This would bring the total strength
of the uniformed force to 1000. TIE
department is striving to increase
the force to $500 men.
Four night inspectors, who now
hold the rank of sergeant would be
promoted to lieutenants and an ad-
ditional lieutenant would be pro-
vided for each precinct, so that there
would always be some one in author
ity in a station house.
The harbor master, who now holds
the rank of lieutenant, would also
be promoted to captain.
1t is planned to assign 80 of the
additional policemen to the new
18th precinct, the headquarters of
which will be built at Forty-second
street and Benning road NE. The
money for the new station house
has already been appropriated by
CONGRESS.

three projected branch libraries and
the remodeling Of two branches.
The Library receives 81 POI 900 in
the budget, which is $66, 400 more
than it is spending this year. It had
requested $3.623,000, of which ST.
$500 was for construction. The
latter item included 1898, 900 to be
spent on the central building, ST.
008,O 900 for the construction and i'm
provement of library branches, and
$4,000 for the purchase Of two new
sites.
The first unit of the projected
four-unit central building was COM
pleted during the war. but only a
part Of the administrative staff has
been able to move in. The rest Of
the building is occupied by organ
izations affiliated with the State
Department. The Library had
sought $4,000 for alterations
which must be made on this unit
before 1t can be occupied as a
library, and $500,000 as start for
construction of q second unit.
Although the budgets s437,o0o
cut in requested operating funds is
not large in comparison to the total
amount involved, it nevertheless
will radically affect library plans.
For example, the institution gets,
under the budget, only nine Of the
100 new permanent employees which
it sought. Among personnel re-
quests disapproved by the Commis-
sioners is one for a $7,201-a-year
director Of the Great Books Pro-
gram.
The budget grants $142,542 for
the purchase of new equipment
including books. This Is $28, 8,325
more than was appropriated for
that purpose this year. Library Of
f1cials believe the increase granted
may be enough to permit purehaS
of a new "bookmobile," a priority
need, costing $4,000.

Health Department

While an increase of 1884, 900
over the Health Departments 1913
appropriation is recommended, the
estimates submitted by Health OFF,
Ger George C. Rutland were cut
almost in half by the Commissioners
and the Budget Bureau.
The health officers request that

with the salary paid the superin-
tendent of schools was turned down
The request for 60 additional pub
lie health nurses was whitfield down
to two. and a request for Is addi-
tional food inspectors was also cut
to two.
Glenn Dale Sanatorium was rec
commended for an increase of $237.-

The Library got most Of what it

nothing for new construction. This

Hiehwoy Department

Highway Director H. G. White
hurst has the distinction Of having
gotten into the budget exactly what
he asked for. Three-quarters Of the
departments $7,154,000 is for new
highway construction, and the pro-
jected total expenditure Is $1l,00o
more than this years. In addition,
the department will have $4,000
left over from this year, reappro-
priated to 194e, bringing the pro-
posed grand total to $7,204, 900.
This means that Capt. White
hurst's plans for i94s construction
will proceed on schedule, If Congress
approves. They include two impor-
tant new projects: The widening Of
Canal road NV. from Key Bridge to
Foxhall road and the widening and
Strengthening of Fourteenth street
NV. between w and Harvard
streets. Each Of these projects would
cost $l50,000, wholly from District
funds.

Remodeling Of the Georgetown
Reservoir. at q cost of $1,120, 900, is

supply and $1,04s, 900 for mainte-
nance and operation.
For the water distribution system,
the budget asks for $432, 600 for new
trunk mains and $500, 900 for further
improvements of the Bryant street
pumping station. The new water
mains would include trunk lines
from the vicinity of Eleventh and
M streets NV. to Fourth and L

Schools

The Board Of Education's requests
for money to construct schools re-
ceived a drastic cut in the Presi-
dents budget recommendation
which slashed $7,264,317 from the
$11,600, 900 asked by the school board
for construction, furniture and
equipment and sites. The Presi-
dents budget proposed $4,335, ,683 to
build II schools or additions to
schools previously authorized. No
new schools were mentioned.
Only one site purchase was recon-
mended, costing $4,000, for 16-
room elementary school in the Oxon
Run Sc. area.
New positions recommended in the
budget included one administrative
assistant in the personnel Office of
the assistant superintendent in
charge Of white schools. This posi-
ton carries a starting salary Of
$5,905.
Other new positions recommended
were: 46 teachers, four clerks, one
assistant principal for Junior high
school and one elementary school
principal.

District National Guard
The budget would allow the Guart

The budget would allow the Guard
q substantial increase over this years
appropriation-but less than 4 per
cent of the amount requested by
Brig. Gen. Albert L. Cox, commander
Of the local military unit. Most of
the discrepancy Is owing to the fact
the Commissioners turned thumbs
down q request for $2,500, 900 for a
start on Guard airport.
The Guard now maintains its~air
unit-approximately so airplanes and
400 officers and men-at Andrews
Field. Last summer, the Army told
Gen. Cox he should be prepared to
remove the air unit from Andrews
sometime subsequent to January

their budget dealings. The general
had asked poiptedly that, whether
or not they approved the item, the
Commissioners inform the Bureau
Of the Budget Of the Guards request
for the airport funds. This sugges-
tion was ignored by the city heads.
Deputy Budget Officer William
explained Gen. Cox based
the suggestion on the law of 1889,
which directed the Commissioners to
transmit" Guard estimates to Con-
gress. But the Budget and Account
ing Act of 1921 requires the Com
missioners to review and revise"
Guard estimates. Mr.. Wilding said.
AL of the $115,2 200 budgeted to the
Guard is for operating expenses, for
which the unit had asked $405, 1897.
The unit wanted 80 new permanent
employes-28 of them to take case Of
the Armory. It got nine. It also
was limited to $11,800 Of the $92, $40
it asked for equipment.
