Budget of the United States Gov
eminent for the Fiscal Year end
ing June 30, 1883" wildly con-
firm the conclusion that there is
little general intention on the part
of the budgeteers to accomplish
an orderly retrenchment in gov
eminent spending.
Though the advocates of free
spending and deficit financing
win glibly try to justify all ex-
penditures, it is in the constant
multiplication of such items as
cited that the country faces the
dismal prospect of more fiscal in
stability, which eventually can
only lead to national bankruptcy
the fervent hope of the Krem-
lin conspirators.
Most experts are in agreement
that the proposed Federal budget
is waterlogged, and therefore ca
pable of reduction. That there is
much waste and duplication in
government spending is also con-
coded. If reason, sanity and sound
ness are to be restored to our
fiscal policies, it must be done
now-not later. To this end,
shall support all practicable re-
auctions.

forms.
One of our Baltimore firms has
been making some of these uni.
forms, but when the Post Office
funds ran short there was no
money to pay for them.
Consequently, the firm had to
go to a bank to borrow money
at regular interest rates-lto tide
it over until the uniform vouch-
ers could be honored.
You can see, therefore, that
there can be scores of secondary
effects from every act connected
with an appropriations measure,
and that is the reason it is so
difficult to determine which so
called economy" measures might
actually cause extensive harm.

amounts to three months. In

others.

Incentive Awards
$. b. 543, by NorthrOp eft al.
This bill would provide for a sys-
tenn of incentive awards for State
employees along the lines of the
system that has done so much
good in the Federal service.
The awards are granted for in
ventions, new techniques and 9TH
err superior accomplishments by
employees which result in long
term savings for the government.
McKeldin's veto message went
into a lot of administrative hair
splitting which struck me as most
unimpressive. Again l look for an
override next February.

This is a somewhat complicated
piece of legislation aimed at put
ting non-eXecutive employees of
the State Roads Commission on a
40-hour work week, among other
things.
1t represents a labor of love by
Delegate Whitmore 3D.. Anne
Arundel and his subcommittee
in trying to harmonic the con-
flicting views of the State Roads
Commission and the Classified
Employees Association.
The veto was probably request
ed by the Commission and will
probably be overridden.

Auditor be appointed by and be

useless if il is controlled by the
branch that is being audited.
Incidentally, 1t was not a rip
per- bill. The present Auditor
was allowed to serve out his en-.
tire term.

Federal Appropriations

According to custom, the House
of Representatives originates and
acts first on all appropriation
bills.
These appropriations measures
fall into two categories those
which are introduced for the fol
lowing fiscal year, and those
which are deficiency appropria-
lions for the current fiscal year.
1t is not infrequent that vari-
Gus Federal departments and
agencies come to the Congress
for deficiency allotments when
they find that their operations
have cost more than had been
anticipated. Such was the case
when the Post Office Depart
ment recently asked for an ex-
ira S7-million to cover its ex-
penses until the end of the fis-
cal year on June 30
Chain of Effects
Instead of getting additional
funds Immediately, Postmaster
General Summerfield was forced
to wait for several weeks.
In the meantime he ordered a
curtailment of postal operations.
This action affected numerous
employees and businesses, of
course, and resulted in a chain of
iconveniences and losses.
Let me give you an example.

funds granted by Congress.
The public, Federal employees,
and the Government itself suffers
from the practice of department
and agency heads constantly re-
turning to Congress for deficien-
cy appropriations. True, emer-
gencies are unpredictable, but

custom with many Federal agen-
cies. The Executive Branch ought
to understand that when Con-

gave up the ghost.
The valiant attempt was, how.
ever, the largest full-scale effort
ever tried before or since. Today.
at CrOpley, which is approximate
ly one mile north of Great Falls
at the intersection of Falls Road
and Macarthur Boulevard, can be
seen the old gold ore tipple and
mining shaft-the crushing room
and water tank, as well as the old
miners shanty-all of which are
practically in ruins.
1t has been authoritatively
stated that Macarthur Boulevard
was paved with quartz rock from
the Cropley mining area. Some
of this ore assayed as high as SIG
a ton.
Later on, optimistic capitalists
from Pittsburgh and New York
evinced considerable interest in
the gold sites near Great Falls
and many likely notwithstanding
areas were purchased by them for
purposes of speculation. AS far
as can be learned this land is still
in their possession-people were
getting rather dubious about
Montgomery County's gold.
According to Mr.. Robert Shes.
teck, who has made an intensive
study of Montgomery County's
gold, gold was discovered:
In 1864 on the plateau behind
the hill overlooking the old Ang-
ler'S Inn.
1867-prospector John Clear
who operated the above site.
1874-a wandering prospector
named Parsons began washing
the sands of Rock Run.
1S8S-a Georgia miner, Mr..
Kirk discovered gold on the Har-
rison farm.
Gold was also located in the
vicinity of Brookeville, one mile
directly east of the old George P.
Kimmel farm on the Gold Mine
road A shallow shaft was sunk
but, as at Great Falls, the arifer-
Gus ore gotten out did not prove
profitable.
Gold in minute quantities was
also discovered one and a half
miles north of Brookeville, the
find being of minor importance.
The first little steam that crosses
the road from Brookeville to Sun
shine is named Gold Branch"
this tiny rivulet still retaining its
MISUNDERSTANDING, though al
most meaningless name.
1t is believed that the last effort
to wiring gold from Montgomery
Countys hills and streams took
place in 1891, when the Montgom-
cry Mining and Manufacturing
Company was chartered for this
purpose. This active, and really
abortive effort was unsuccessful.
1t really rang down the .curtsin
and sounded the death knell OF
further gold explorations.
One can be certain that there is
really and truly gold in Montgom-
cry County's hills. And it is most
likely to stay there.
