Although appropriations for the maintenance of public buildings and { parks have been inadequate, neverthe- | less by the practicing of certain econo- mies, money has been saved in vari- lous ways resulting in making the | appropriations go further than_they would otherwise, according to Lieut | Col. U. S. Grant, 3d. director of the office of public_buildings and public parks of the National Capital, de- livered to the President today. Painting and systematic repairs are needed in the ever-aging buildings, and when made they tend to decre: the future cost of maintenance, he says. In the parks there is urgent need of planting materials for replace. ments and of funds for improvement of newly acquired park areas, espe- cially small parks in the streets of newly built-up residential districts.

Although the bureau of the budget slashed about $2,000,000 from th original estimates of the District for | the next fiscal year, municipal Gov- ernment officials_indicated today that the budget as finally approved and submitted to Congress calling for $40,431,186 is “fair anc. well balanced."” Incidentally, they pointed out, this is the largest budget for the Di that has ever gone to Congre: While a comparative anal the estimates as submitted Commissioners and those approved by the Budget Bureau is not obtainable because of the law which forbids the Commisisoners from making pub the District budget as framed b; them, it was indicated that the most severe cuts made by the Budget Bu- reau affected the public schools and the proposed municipal airport, as the item of $150,000 for beginning work on the project was eliminated entirely. The Commissioners, it is understood, had allotted approximately $13,500,% 000 to the public schools, and the Budget Bureau trimmed this figure to $12,156,130. The major reductions, it was said, were made in items for land purchases for proposed new schools and_ playgrounds. The reduction in the school esti- mates and the elimination of the air- port item alone make up about $1,. 500,000 of the total $2,000,000 cut. The remaining $500.000, it said, was slashed from the estimates of the various departments. The Commissioners themselves had no comment to make on the budget as finally approved by the budget bu- reau, but indications are that they will make a vigorous fight before the appropriations committees of the Senate and House for restoration of the more important items omitted by [the Budget Bureau.
