This is $60,220,000 less than appropriations for the current year and is $10,799,000 below the budget estimates of $186,243,000 rec- ommended by President Hoover. Not one budget item, was increased by the committee and no single ex- penditure was added. In addition, the committee did not go into the question of reducing salaries of gov- ernment employes, passing that back to the house. It is expected to be debated on the floor since the cx- penditures committee has tabled all Proposals to cut salaries. Highway Item Large The big item in the measure is $100,000,000 for federal highway aid. It is $25,179,000 less than appropri- ated for this year and $9,000,000 short of the amount requested by Thomas H. MacDonald, chief of the bureau of public roads.

Increases in salaries during the year were specifically barred. In its report, the committee said by administrative action a saving of $3,- 441,000 already had been effected this year through econothies, and not al- lowing salary increases. Hyde Budget Cut Among the important items in the bill was $13,076,000 for the office of ; Secretary Hyde, which is $387,000 less {than this year, and $63,346 less than {the budget estimate; $4,136,000 for the {weather bureau, $361,000 less than this |year; $12,262,000 for the animal indus- try bureau, $759,000 less than this jyear, and $36,000 below the budget.
