An interesting program is ANNUAL ESTIMATES Se Commissioners’. Budge for Year 1900, —_—_»___. INCREASE OVER PRESENT YEAR Sum of $8,795,006.52 Consid- ered to Be Necessary. REASONS ADVANCED BY THE BOARD Advance in Salaries in Several of the Bureaus. THE ITEMIZED STATEMENT — ee The District Commissioners have com- pleted their estimates for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1900, and will submit them to Congress“with their annual report. The total amount asked for is $8,795 006.52, including the appropriation of $129, 141 for the water department. The esti- mates for the year ending June 30, 1899, amounted in total to $8,124,375.90, the in- crease in the estimates for 1900 being near- ly $600,000. The work of preparing the annual esti- mates is a labor requiring the entire time of the executive office of the District gov- ernment for many weeks. The task is an immense one, and the relief at completing Secretary Tindall anil in the work is great. his corps of assistants are now engaged putting che finishing touches on the cle cal work connected with the preparation of the voluminous document. Where an increase in appropriation is asked or a_new item is added to the esti- mates the Commissioners note the fact and explain the reason for their action in this respect. At the last session of Congress provision was made for a veterinary surgeon, who should devote time exclusively to the inspection of dairy farms furnishing milk to the District of Columbia, and to cate, so that the services of the veterinary sur- geon to examine and care for horses be- longing to the several departments of the District of Columbia could be devoted ex- clusively to that duty. The new surgeon is provided for in the executive office esti- mates. The Commissioners request an increas the salaries of two assistant inspector: plumbing from $1,000 to $1,200, becaus present salaries are insufficient to secure the retention in the service of those who have become skilled in the complicated du- ties required to be rendered. Many resig- nations of cepable men are attributed to the present compensation, which 4s le than is paid for such services in cities com parable with Washington. The Harbor Boat. An estimate for a night crew for the bor boat is made, and it is pointed out that most of the violations of the game ana fish laws occur at night, the violators taking advantage of the absence of the harbe: boat. : There {s now no provision for the patrol of the river between 7 o'clock in the even- irg and 8 in the morning. It ts further stated in support of the appropriation that nost of the robberies and fires along the river front occur at night also, and that nany persons congregate at night on the Potomac flats drinking and gambling. The need of night protection on the river is fully and strongly set forth, and the esti- rate will almost certainly be approved hy Congress. The recommendation for an increase in the salary of the auditor from $3,Wu) to # is based upon the nature of the of the office and the services of the present incumbent. All of the ai under his inspe ject to his audit. ne tioned probity, a thorough knowledge of accounts and the law and constant vigilance and industry. From the character of some of the old records in his custody he is Ie ed to examine claims involving questions of great financial delicacy, and his find- ings often save the government from the payment of thousands of dollars upon claims founded on inaccurate or fraudu- lent data. The increase in the estimate for the posi- tions of clerks for the sinking fund office is based upon the recommendation of the treasurer of the United States. The need of a clerk in the office of the sealer of weights and measures has been fully set forth in The Star. An increase of the salary of the superin- tendent of sewers to $3,000 is recommended because of the high professional skill and judgment required for the proper discharge of the duties of the office, and the great responsibility imposed upon the incumbent. The present superintendent is a civil en- gineer of maay years’ experience and na- tional reputation, and is considered one of the ablest sanitazy engineers of today. ‘The recommended increase in the salary of the permit clerk is based upon the re- sponsibility and labor of the ofilee. The duty is arduous and demands extreme care and watchfulness. Street Cleaning Department. For superintendent of street cleaning a salary of $3,000 is asked, as the duties of this officer, always onerous and respon- sible. have been largely increased by the adoption of the hand-cleaning method as a part of the street cleaning system. He 1s almost constantly actively employed from 6 o'clock in the morning, and often earlier, until a late hour in the evening, Sundays and holideys included. With daily hand cleaning without contract the superinten- dent will have a force of from 400 to 500 men under his control. ‘The estimated raise of $300 in the pay of three inspectors of street sweeping !s to secure equal compensation for the thirteen inspectors who do the same kind of work. For rent of District offices $10,000 is asked, When th> Commissioners first leased the building now occupied it was with the un- derstanding they would recommend to Con- gress provision be made for the rental at $10,000, without obligation on the part of the District to pay more than $9,000 unless an appropriation for the larger amount be made. New Morgue Estimated For. Th estimate of $10,000 for a morgue is based on the cost of a brick building about 40 by 50 feet, and two stories, with office, morgue, inquest and autopsy rooms, coro- ner’s office, waiting rooms, etc., and cellar for heating and cooling apparatus. The building would cost about $7,500 of the very simpl3st construction and finish, some walls not plastered. The heating would cost about $500 and the refrigerating plant about $1,500 or less, leaving a srall margin of $500 for prepara- tion of plans and specifications ar&i super- intendence. No estimate is made for the grcund necessary. ‘An appropriation of $1,000 is asked for the restoration of portraits belonging to the District of Columbia, as outlined in The Star yesterday. For street cleaning and sprinkling an Ap- propriation of $207,493 is asked. Under the present appropriation ($145,000) it is fmpos- sible, it is declared, to give the public good service. About one-fourth the area is clean- week, one-fourth three times a week and the remainder dafly. ~~~ The Commissionersdeclared all the streets | should be cleaned daily, and by hand, to give eminently Es i ctory. results, and the main objéct of Thé thcrease estimated is to provide for cleaning daily by hand the en- tire paved area of the city. The estimate of $207,498 is pon the actual cost of our present system of hand-cleaning by day labor without coatract, which is cheap- er by $86,747 a7-year~-under contract hand- cleaning and $36,117 cheaper than by ma- chine sweeping.g~ .. Disposal of Ashes. In explaining the ‘tem of $40,000 for the collection and disposal of ashes it is stated that this has long been a crying need in Washington. The citizens almost univer- sally favor its being: done by the munici- pality. In almost every other city of any size in the Union this system is in yogue. The estimate is? mbderate one compared to other cities. The increased appropriation for the park- ing commission is needed for the proper maintenance of the trees of the city and their appurtenances. With the present ap- propriation it is impossible to replace all trees destroyed by storm or otherwise, and to keep them and the spaces around them along the public reservations in condition necessary to make one of the ehief beau- ties of Washington, 1 credit to the city and one of its distinctive features, An estimate for an increase in the su- pervision of the public schools is made by the ‘board, because of the growth of the school system in siz and its expansion in application. 53 An assistant superintendent, to hav> charge of the distrbution of appliances, such as text books cnd furniture, and the care of the innumerable supplies and the countless changes thit must take place is so Breat an 2stablisiiment is well nigh a necessity, certanly_a Wise figancial.move. ‘The number Of feachers asked for in the estimate is thirty“six in excess.of the pres- ent number smployed. These are distrib- uted anong the various schools, white and colored, In accordance with the growth of the schools. The salary of ‘the principal of the Central High School is increased from $1,500 to $2,000 and the salaries of all teachers are incr2ased by enlarging the higher salaried grades of compensation and diminishing the lesser. An increase to $8,800 for teachers of night schools is asked. The growth of suburban localities in so many parts of the District, each of which asks, and no doubt ought to have, a night school, makes a substantial increase in the appropriation desirable at least. The appropriation for kindergartens last year was for a beginning, with the under- standing that this branch of work will grow from year to year until the necessary num- ber of kindergartens shall be established to provide this kind of training for the chil- dren of kindergarten age in the entire Dis- trict. The sum of $25,000 is asked. This will sustain. the kindergartens already es. tablished and afford means for the establish- ment of as great number of new ones as the District now has. Repairs to School Buildings. The sum of $50,000 for repairs to school buildings, the Commissioners say, will be found to be none too large. There are 119 buildings to be cared for, some of which are worth over $100,000 each, and many of which are very old and fast falling into decay. For free text bocks and supplies 00 is asked. This is a low estimate, allowing but $1 to the pupil. Three new ¢ight-room buildings, to cost $47,500 eacha‘are asked; one to be in the ninth, one in the tenth and the third in the eleventh division (the colored schools). The Police Force. In the police department an inc from $1,800 to $2,000 fri’thé/salary of the captain, who is second if ccmmand. of the depart- nent, is asked.’ An therease from $1,500 to $1,800 in the salary of the three lieutenant inspectors is also asked on account of the in the comper frem $1,321 of men in th than dou 1 e number been more present salary was they are regarded as tt twd additional sergeants, 1 of thirty-three, and an in- ase from $1,140 too81,200. The Commissioners.ask for 300 privates of Ss 1, at SM) (Samewas last year), and 400 privates of “secéad’ diss, at 31.080 (an int crease of 200). The need of an enlarged po- lice forea Has been fully set forth year afcer year by tha heads of the department and ase is hoped ase 6 $900 in the salary of tation kéevers is asked, Congrgsg,is told in nother city is the ps son like intrasted reguired to do so much for so little pay. In Order to give a more nearly prover patrol of the suburban dis- tri two additional mounted men are asked, at $240 each. One additional driver, at $600, for duty with the detective bureau, and $5.00 for absolitely necessary repairs to station houses are #elud sti- mates. Should Corgress an increased police ferce the ¢ ted for contingent expensi cient to equip the additional number, ineludes arms, insignia, batoas, be: minor increases, Fire Department. r the fire department two additional assistant chief engineers are asked and a general increase in the salary of all mem- bers of the department is requested for the reasons set forth in Chief Parris’ report heretofore published in The Star. Forty new patrol boxes are urgently rec- ommended by the major of police. Health Office, An increase in the salary of the health officer from $3,000 to $3,600 is estimated. The present salary was fixed when the pop- ulation of the District of Columbia was 167,300. Since then the population has in- creased to, approximately, 285,000. An in- crease in the work devolving upon {ndivid- ual inspectors and clerks has been, to a reasonable degree, prevented by increasing the number of such officers, but it has not been possible to relieve the health officer in such manner, The Commissioners ask for a chief inspector and deputy health offi- cer at $1,800, for thirteen sanitary and food inspectors at $1,200 each, and for a chemist at $2,400, ‘The purchase of the west part of lot 2, square 489, is reeommended at a cost of $18,000, to be ytilized for an addition to the Police Court.
