INCREASE OF APPROPRIATIONS ASKED A Deficiency Estimate for Damage by the September Storm. THE CHARITIES BILL —>—____ The annual report of the superintendent of charities was submitted to the Com- missioners today. € Superintendent Tracey says, speaking of the damage done by the recent big storm: “The appropriations for the current fiscal year were barely adequate for the public service required to be rendered, while the character of the mischief done was such that the least delay in remedying it, by replacing roots and rebuilding partially de- stroyed walls, would have been fat: The essential work of restoration has been promptly performed with the utmost econ- omy practicable. The expense entailed has in several cases seriously diminished the fund allowed for annual maintenance, and rendered the proper performance of need- ed public service almost imp: ible, with- out reimbursement for outlays forced by the disaster. Under these circumstances it seems just and for the public in: t that a deficiency appropriation should be made of $10,385, or so much thereof as may be necessary to be allowed, on proof of yo ments, for reconstruction and repairs.” ° Enstimates and Increases. In the estimat for charitable and re- formatory service the items of propose: increase are as follow: pmitted for "97, Increase #999 09 S180 09 a0 OO 300 0) 6W 09 300 00 540 09 365 00 409 09 400 09 60 OO 6.64) Go 269000 10,600 C9 210 co Iss 0 109 0 16 25,09 00 5,00 C0 A) 0) 1,500 09 £00.00, 600 00 44) 00 Fan) M0 p00 G0 oT (Cn ldrea Board wardians: dmbef-tratiy Women 1,500 00 9 00 ‘260.08, 1,000 00 5.609 09 6.08) 00. 20,000 0) 20,000 00 398.07 $1060, “Of this amount $i20,7%) is asked construction, leaving as increase for main- tenance $40,6 B “This caleul of deficiency approp o 96 not tke accoant ions made last win- a . for services prior to the present fiscal year: Washington A ; board of children’s guardia for i > total, Reasons for Increases, “The reasons for the requests for in- creased sums are stated fn detail in the re- spective reports of the institutions, boards and associations named.

Home School—$35,000.—To sup- port this Industrial establishment, now a strictiy official one, and to erect a suitadle and secure building in place of the centrai building now irsecure and beyond repa Improved Methods. ‘The report says that recent careful spections of all the hospitals for whicii provisions are made in the District appro- priation act show a marked improvement in administrative direction in medical and surgical service, and in prompt and har- montous co-operation with local authorities in the reception and care-of pubtic patients, “At the Central Dispensary and Emer- gency Hospital,” says, Mr. Tracey, “there is growing necd for acquiring the. premises immediately adjoining the easterly end of the present edifice, in order” to erect an extension, including a stable for the ambu- lance service, a laundry and other impor- tant adjuncts, in respect to which the cs- tablishment is stil! incomplete. The matter was fully presented at the last session of Ccngress to the Senate subcommittee of ap- propriations, and a further application for effecting the change will be presented this winter. It deserves a favorable considcra- tion. e Medical Charities. “Medical charities—both hospitals and dispersaries—need to be carefully guarded against imposture and the consequent mis- application of public funds; while, on th, other hand, such relict is the last to be denied or to be deferred at the risk of serious or possthiy fatal consequenecs. abuses can be mere easily prevented o remedied in a concentrated service than i one divided into.m&ny branches, and it ap. pears that with the three dispensaries prop- er—the Women’s, the Eastern and the Cen- tral—where dispensary work ts properiy as- sociated with cmergency, surgical and med- ical care of accident cases, supplemented by the dtspensary ranches of the Freed- men’s, Columbia, Children’s and National Tiomeopathic hospitals, end that of the Washington Asylum, the field of medical relief Is as well covered as should be at- attempted on public account through the District appropriations.

A man sald: “When I was a young chap I coulé use coffee and tobacco without their troubling me, but as I get along in years they both distress me, I quit tobacco, but eniy got a little better; liver, stomach and bowels kept all out of gear until fin- ally my old doctor told me that coffee had the same polsonour alkaloids as tobacco, but mot quite #0 mans, and advised me to leave it off and giv nature a chance to build up.

The per 5 of this reformator on the present limited scale is high, and volves an excessive burden upon the Dis- trict revenues #nd national treasury. The per capita cost for 1895-9 is in excess of that for ISM and ISN chiefly because of a reduction in the number of inmates, found to be essential to the good order and disci- pline of the school. The reduction of admitted inmates was from an average of thirty-tive in the form- er year to an average of twent even in the latter, while the Increase of annual cost of maintenance was from $200 to $ per capita—an additional burden for each committed inmate of $9 per year, or neatly double what should be the entire cost of reformatory of sufficient capacity to be economically managed.
