Capital Parks
Ask $1,747,000
For Fiscal 1850
$247, 900 Increase
Based Mostly on Pay
Rises, Higher Costs

A National Capital Parks budget
estimate of s1,747,000 for fiscal
1850 has been submitted to the
Commissioners by Supt. Irving c.
Root.
The request is $247,0O0 more than
was appropriated for the Interior
Department parks agency in the
present fiscal year with most of the
increase based on mandatory pay
increases for parks employees and
the rising cost of materials.
Mr.. Root estimated that the
operating expenses and capital out
lay payments to the parks Office
from the District Recreation De-
partment will add $685. to the
1850 fund of his agency-an increase
over this year of 1881 ,031. The Ma
tional Capital Parks office does
all the maintenance work for the
Recreation Department and is paid
IN fund transfer.
Total Fund S2,201,253.
An additional $191,900 Mr.. Root
estimated, will be paid to his agency
in fiscal 1850 from the District High
way Fund and from agencies for
which services are performed by
National Capital Parks. The total
fund available to the parks agency,
he added, will be $2,806, ,409, COM
pared to $2,2O1 ,253.
The National Capital Parks esti-
mate calls for $1,455, 146 for main
tenance and operation of the 744
reservations in the District run by
the park system. The system owns
6,747 acres in the Nations Capital
This year, $1,25e,992 is available
for maintenance of the system.
Mr.. Root asked 1921 1854 for op-
Grafton of the 78-man Park Police
force here, compared with the $685.
2l3 appropriated for the force this
year.
S1,672,65S for Wages.
The estimate also asks $4,000 for
minor construction projects.
Mr.. Root asked for Sl,672,658 for
wages in fiscal 1850, compared with
the Slab ,958 being paid to National
Capital Parks employees this year.
In a message accompanying the
tabulation of figures, Mr.. Root said
adequate maintenance standards
are becoming more difficult to MAIN
tain due to the lack of skilled labor
and constantly rising prices of
necessary supplies and equipment
replacement.
He cited the $1S7,434 needed to
meet wage increases and the ST.
$50 increased cost of materials in
justifying the higher budget for
which he asks the Commissioners
approval.

The Controller General has ruled
that employees of the Commission
on Mental Health and the Proba-
ton Office, at District Court, both
Federal agencies, are eligible for the
$3.50 Federal pay raise, District
budget officials disclosed last night.
Floyd L. Burroughs, an employe
of the probation system, said the
ruling effects 16 workers. Thomas
Gillespie Walsh, chairman OF the
Mental Health Commission, said
five of the eight employees OF that
office are eligible for the raise. The
other three, he said, are paid sal
aries fixed by Congress and will
not receive the increase.
officials of the District Budget
Office said the rulings were re-
ceived several weeks ago from the
chief of the General Accounting Of
flee and are retroactive to July /.
Last OF Rulings.
The rulings nearly complete the
list of so-called fringe agencies" on
which the Commissioners requested
a pay-raise eligibility ruling from the
Controller General. Still undecided
is the eligibility of a small number
of National Guard employees. The
rulings raise to 375 the number OF
employees working in Federal agen-
cies, but paid from District funds,
who are eligible for the $3.50 raise
rushed through by the last session
of Congress.
Other employees ruled eligible for
the pay increase include 1854 en-
ployes of National Capital Parks,
1874 employees of the National Zoo
logical Park, Al workers in the Reg
lister of Wills Office and Is employees
of the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission.
Others Not Eligible.
One ruling declared that 81 en-
ployes of the Recorder OF Deeds
Office are not eligible for the pay
raise, granted to Federal, but not to
District employees.
District employees will not become
eligible for the raise until additional
revenue raising legislation is au-
thorized by Congress. Efforts to
obtain a 2 per cent sales tax for
the District last session - which
would have provided the revenue for
granting the raise to District en-
ployes-were defeated by the one
man stand of Senator Johnston
Democrat, of South Carolina.
