APPROPRIATION $1,040,000 From Surplus Gas Tax Approved for Emergency Work. ‘The House this afternoon passed the revised 1934 District appropria- tion bill, carrying $31,967,442, or - $10,226,505 less than the appropri- ‘"%‘,;g’“ the current fiscal y;:r only cl made the bill were the addition of $1,675,000 to the amount recomme: by the Budget Bureau. Of this sum, $1,- 040, "fll come out of the sur- or emergency construction ap- proved by President Roosevelt, and $635,000 for ts and ex- tensions in the water service. The House today prepared to resume provide for emergency construction and will be financed exclusively out of the gasoljne tax surplus. Other increases are to be sought to- day which will prevent an accumula- tion of a surplus in the water reve- nues. The addition of the $1,040,000 for emergency projects was made on recom- mendation of the House Appropriations Committee. All projects to be provided out of this fund must be approved by President Roosevelt. Other Changes Rejected. All other efforts to restore cuts made | by the Budget Bureau were either voted down or prevented on points of order. Twice Representative Smith, Demo- crat, Virginia, made attempts to amend the bill. His first move, designed to make a reduction in the tax rates man- datory to preclude an accumulation of tax revenues, was abruptly halted on & point of order. Later he offered but withdrew an amendment providing for the use of more than $1,000,000 of the gas tax fund to finance street improve- ments when the Appropriations Com- mittee announced its intention to rec- ommend the use of a major portion of the surplus for emergency construction projects. ‘When consideration of the bill is re- |sumed today the appropriations recom- mended for the PFire Department will be taken up first. The Health Depart- ment, courts and prisons, public wel- fare, the District militia, public build- ings and public parks, the National Capital Park and Planning Commis- sion and the National Zoological Park are amang the other departments whose appropriations have not yet, been ap- proved. Few Changes Expected. Few changes are expected to be made in the remainder of the bill, however, except in the Water Department ap- propriation, which the committee ex- pects to have increased by $635,000. Officials of the Water Department have estimated that on the basis of the items carried in the bill there will be a surplus of $1,500,000 in the water revenues at the close of the coming fiscal year. Representative Kvale, Republican, of Minnesota, made a futile fight on the floor yesterday to have the House add $135,000 to the bill for the personal services of teachers and librarians in the public schools. An amendment, sponsored by the Teachers’ Union, which he offered for that purpose, was rejected, 35 to 13. Mr Kvale pointed out that the re- duction would do one of three things— inflict a salary reduction upon teachers in excess of the 15 per cent maximum desired by President Roosevelt, shorten the school year, or eliminate night schools, kindergartens and playgrounds. Another amendment proposed by Mr. Kyvale designed to prevent the admin- istration of school funds in such a way as to eliminate any department, shorten the statutory school year or re- duce the annual pay of teachers in ex- cess of lm cent, was rejected on a point of raised by Mr. Blanton. Mr. Cannon told the House the maxi- mum number of teachers to lose their Jobs under the bill would be 40. He also gchud the average nhfle; o!: the ashington school teachers igher than in many cities.
