The District's tentative budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1928, calling for appropriations totaling $42,091,225, was transmitted to the Bureau of the Budget yesterday by Danfel J. Donovan, the District’s auditor and budget officer. The Commissioners in framing the budget, it was pointed out, computed the total on' the basis of continuing the tax rate of $1.80 fixed for the cur- rent fiscal year, should be borne in mind, however,” commented Maj. Donovan, “that this computation does not take into consideration any sup- plemental or deficiency appropriations for the fiscal year 1928. The estimates are divided into the following classes: Estimates chargeable to the Fed- eral and District governments; $36,- 726,346. Estimates chargeable to the gaso- line tax fund, $1,200,000. Estimates chargeable to the water fund, $1,414,880. Estimates under permanent and in- definite appropriations, $226,000. Estimates under trust and special funds, $2,465,000. Estimated Recelpts Given.

Attention of the Budget Bureau also was invited to the fact that the District, beginning with July 1, 1927, will operate upon & strictly cash- basis as against the previous ice of borrowing moneys from the Federal Treasury to meet ad- vances under appropriations. “The Commissioners, in framing the tentative budget of estimates for District for 1928,” sald the letter, mputed the total on the basis of continuing the tax rate of $1.80 fixed for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1927, ; The total estimated assessed value 6f taxable real estate for the fiscal year 1928 is $1,060,000,000, and the total estimated assessed value nal property for that % "of #1185, for both - of $1,166,- m&o The, application of a $1.80 tax rate onthis.combined value .of 1 real pcmn‘ll property for the fiscal year 1928 should raise. about * $20,690,000.
