A statement showing that the total appropriations for the government! for the fiscal vear 1924 are $233,802.- 504.60 less than the appropriations made for the present fiscal year was made public last night by Senator Warren, chairman of the Senate com- mittee on appropriations. i Chalrman Madden gave out the! same figures on the reduction in ap- propriations.

This, he suld, i represented a reduction of $233,802,- 504. At the same time Representative Byrns of Tennessee, ranking democrat ‘on the House committee, asserted that when the deficiencies for the next vear were totaled the outlay would | amount to more than that of 1923. |, “Included in the 1923 figures was (the sum of $125,000,000 of discount ,accruals on war savings securities { which matured in January, 1923, and i which was not repeated in the 1924 | appropriation. Deducting this_sum, the reduction for 1924 under 1923 is 1$108.802,504.” The 1923 figures, Mr. Madden explained, inciuded sums ap- propriated at the present session to make up deficiencles of last year. The figures of Chairman Warren of | the Senate committee coincided with ;those of Mr. Madden, but Mr. Byrns contended that their method of arriv. ing at a true estimate of the govern- ment's expenditures was based on an unsound premise. most welcome taxpayers of this country. the fiscal year made that no the gov. standing has been $1.295 1924 have been legitimate rnment will suffer. the reduction made, appropriated as funds; the information for the “The reductions in supply bills for function of Notwitn- there follows: ,097,000 for the interest on the public debt and public debt redemp- $428,160,773 for the vet- erans' bureau to care for the needs veterans of the world war: $253,000,000 for Army and Nuvy pen- Byrn Disputes Figures. “The total appropriation: “including regular annual compensation, permanent and indefi- nite, for 1924, amount to $3,706,777,163, to which reappropriations of $37.163.- 80| 1940.305.

Chairman Madden complimented the budget bureau, which, he said, had sub- mitted figures singularly free of pad- ding. -The total estimates sent to Congress by the President for the next fiscal year, he sald, were $3,714,802,218. Against this sum was appropriated $3,706,777,163, a net reduction under the "budget of $7,825,118. This, he said, was an eloquent tribute to the work of the bureau. “It will be interesting,” Mr. Mad- den sald, “for the country to know at this time the decrease that has taken place in expenditures during the period which has elapsed since the armistice was signed. The expenditure for the fiscal year 1919, which was the fiscal year in which that event took place, covering the ordinary expenses of the government and excluding public debt retirements, were $18,514.879,955. The estimated expenditures for the fiscal year 1924, which commences July next, Qng dy comparable basis, are $2,835, ——— RENT APPEAL HEARD. Attorneys Claim Ball Act to Pro- tect Tenants Is Unconstitutional. | Chiet Justce McCoy and Justices Hitz and Hoehling, sitting In general term yesterday afternoon, heard an {appeal of Henry S. Wallerstein, own- er of the East Cadiz apartment, from a determination of the rent commis- sion awarding hix tenant, C. A.

Judd Likens Kentucky Avenue Southeast to Valley of Lakes and Rivers. Characterising a walk down Ken- tucky avenue southwest as being similar to a stroll over mountains, through valleys and by lakes and rivers George H. Judd condemned the condition of this thoroughfare at a meeting of the Lincoln Park Citizens' Association in Bryan School last night. He stated “the avenue was paved in 1872 and has not had much done to it since that time.” Resolutions were passed to invite a speaker on “safety week” to make an address before the association in the near future, also to appoint a safety committee. A committee was appointed by President Guilford S. Jameson, consisting? of W. L. Green chairman; H. L. Bushong, W. F. Beasley, John P. Kern and J. C. Boss. Upon the recommendation of Lafay- ette Buehler it was decided to refer the matter of trash burning on the Benning dump to the District of Co- lumbla health department. The smoke from this dump, it was declared. is a nuisance and & menace to the health of citizens of the community. New members of the association weore admitted, as follows: J. Charles Marks, Dr. J. T. Vivian, Lee Hammer, G. T. Stuart, Chris Weinicke, Willlam 'C. Thom, H. F. Winn, Sam- uel C. Fogle, J. . Davis, B. Girling and Guy C. Elker. DIES OF HEART DISEASE.

Boss, | AilUH 14, 1923, SEEK INSTITUTE CONTROL. | —— Control over the Teachers’ Institute was asked by the Teachers’ Councll at its meeting last night in the Franklin School. The council contended that the committee in charge of the annual institute session does nmot sufficiently represent every branch of the school system in its membership. A request will be lald before Super- intendent of Schools Ballou by the council that it be charged with both the conduct and the character of the institute. Divergent views were expressed by the council delegates over the pro- posed new system for rating teachers. One delegate suggested that the rat- ing sheet be burned, pointing out that the system of rating teachers often reduced efficiency of the teach- ers because of a feeling of antagonism toward have judged them unfairly.

While other branches of the gov- ernment will have to get along with less money in accordance with the cuts announced by Chairmen Warren and Madden, the District of Columbi will have approximately the same amount of money next year as this. Only “strenuous team work,” said the statement, made possible the sat- istactory resuits, reducing the ex- penditures of the people’s money to such a considerable extent.
