and its approaches, is $14,750,000 extending over a period of 10 years. W ith the $5,500,000 heretofore appropriated
and the proposed appropriation for 1929, it is estimated that approximately $7,500,000 will have been expended by

This reduction is in printing. While the estimate for printing in the fiscal vear 1929 was increased $7,960 over
the amount appropriated for 1928, it has since been necessary to subniit a supplemental estimate of $9,000 for 1928
to comply with a requirement of the Public Printer that the printed decisions of the board be plated. This increases
the 1928 availability to an extent that permits a slight reduction in 1929.

$550,000.
The increase of $26,760 in 1929 over the total for 1928 is to meet tbe additional cost of administering the long­
shoremen’s and harbor workers’ compensation act.

78, 390. 00

The increase of the Budget estimate for 1929 over the appropriation for 1928 is due to the inclusion in the 1929
estimate of $80,340 for salaries of civilian employees whose detail with the Federal Power Commission from the
Departments of War, Agriculture, and Interior has become permanent, as authorized by the act of February 11, 1927.
(44 Stat. 1075.) Decreases of $1,750 in the estimated payments to States and $200 for printing and binding, totaling
$1,950, gives a net increase of $78,390.

In addition to the amount of $52,186 carried in the supplemental estimate for the fiscal year 1928, the Federal
Radio Commission will spend approximately $44,000 from the appropriation “ Enforcement of wireless communication
laws, Department of Commerce,” fiscal year 1928. The reduction, therefore, in the estimate for 1929 below the esti­
mated expenditures for 1928 amounts to $15,626 which is accounted for by the decreased responsibility that it is

338,977.00

Of the amount appropriated for the Interstate Commerce Commission for 1928, the sum of $15,000 in the appro­
priation for printing and binding was made available for expenditure in the fiscal year 1927. The comparable amount
for expenditure in the fiscal year 1928 is therefore $7,966,314 and the net reduction in the 1929 estimates is $323,977.
The net reduction indicated involves an increase for the general work of executing the laws to regulate commerce
from $2,460,600 to $2,564,500 to cover additional attorney examiners, cost of reporting, and travel expenses, an
increase for the investigation of accounts of carriers from $1,315,000 to $1,327,745 to provide for additional travel
expenses, and a decrease of $75,000 in the allowance for printing and binding due to the fact that provision is being
made in the fiscal year 1928 to print accumulated volumes of valuation reports.
The estimate for valuation of property of carriers shows a reduction of $363,214, due to the practical completion
of primary valuations in the fiscal year 1928.

To enable the Shipping Board Merchant Fleet Corporation to operate ships or lines of ships which have been
or may be taken back from purchasers by reason of competition or other methods employed by foreign shipowners
or operators a special appropriation of $10,000,000 was made for 1927. For 1928 the unexpended balance of this
appropriation, or $10,000,000, was reappropriated, of which amount not to exceed $5,000,000 was ifcade available,’
in addition to the $12,000,000 appropriated, for the purpose of meeting the deficit in the operation of ships for that
year. The estimate for the fiscal year 1929 provides that the unexpended balance of this appropriation of $10,000,000
shall be made available until June 30, 1929. The estimate of $13,688,750 for 1929, together with the estimated cash
position for 1929, and such savings, if any, in operating expenses as may result from the sale of active ships, as
opportunity offers, is considered sufficient to meet the estimated operating deficit for 1929.

31, 660; 000

Although the figures indicate a budget increase for 1929 as indicated above, the 1929 estimates are in reality
$9,666,184 less than comparative appropriations made and supplemental estimates submitted for the fiscal year
1928. This seeming discrepancy is accounted for by reason of thq 1929 estimates including an item for direct appro­
priation of $74,500,000 for payment of casualty losses from the Government life-insurance fund and investment of
premium receipts accruing thereto. Heretofore no amount for these accruing funds has been included in the Budget
estimates.
Entering into comparison of 1928 appropriations and the 1929 estimates is also the 1928 supplemental estimate
submitted for appropriation of $19,400,000, and reappropriation of $35,600,000 unexpended balances of Veterans’
Bureau appropriations required for payment of militaiy ana naval compensation. Of this $55,000,000 only $21,826,184
should properly be considered as applying to 1928 requirements, the remaining $33,173,816 representing a replacement
in the 1928 fund of a similar amount expended therefronl priof to July 1, 1927, due to depletion of the 1927 appro­
priation, properly chargeable against the fiscal year 1927. The need for such large additional amounts in 1927, 1928,
and 1929 is caused by legislation liberalizing the compensation law*. I t is estimated that the additional amount
required in the fiscal year 1929 for the m inimum payment of $50 per month in each case of arrested tuberculosis^
regardless .of origin, will be $20,000,000.
The estimates comtemplate a reduction of $2,500,000 from $42,500,000 to $40,000,000 for salaries and expfflraes;
an increase of $10,000 from $125,000 to $135,000 for printing and binding, the increase being for procurement of
punch cards from the Government Printing Office which have heretofore been purchased elsewhere from the appro­
priation salaries and expenses; a comparative increase of $4,673,816 for payment of military and naval compensation;
a decrease of $3,400,000 from $35,275,000 to $31,675,000, for medical and hospital services, is actually a decrease of
only $1,575,000 for the reason that the estimated cost of hospitalizing Veterans’ Bureau beneficiaries in the National
Soldiers’ Home branches, $1,825,000, for which an amount has heretofore been appropriated to the Veterans’ Bureau,
allotted to the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers and deposited in the Treasury to the credit of miscel­
laneous receipts, is not for the fiscal year 1929 included in the estimates for appropriation to the Veterans' Bureau;

a decrease of $7,250,000 from $114,000,000 to $106,750,000 for payment of military and naval insurance. The
appropriations for this purpose will decrease each year, as, pursuant to law, term insurance policies were coaverted
into Government life policies on or before July 2, 1927, or became inoperative after that date.

Net decrease_____________________________________________________________________

591, 320

This net decrease is largely due to reductions from $8,380,000 to $6,500,000 for forest roads and trails; from
$1,800,000 to $1,500,000 for cooperative work in the Forest Service; the latter figure being an estimate of the receipts
contributed for this purpose and also to the fact that the figures for 1928 include a supplemental estimate of $769,000
for fighting and preventing forest fires in addition to the regular annual appropriation of $283,000. The Budget for
1929 includes only $283,000, as it is the practice to supplement this amount each year at the close of the fire season
when the amount needed can be determined.
While the economy program of the Federal Government has resulted in a substantial decrease in the total
expenditures, the requirements of agriculture have been well cared for. Increases have been provided from year to
Jrear in practically all the department’s activities and especially in those relating to assistance in agricultural probems. As a result of recommendations made by the President’s Agricultural Conference on Agricultural Legislation
substantial increases have been provided for the more complete endowment of the State agricultural experiment
stations and for the encouragement and promotion of cooperative marketing. For the more complete endowment
of State experiment stations an initial appropriation of $960,000 was made for the fiscal year 1926. This sum has
been progressively increased each year since 1926 by $480,000 and will continue to increase in like amount each year
until 1930, when it reaches its maximum of $2,880,000. This amount, together with amounts previously authorized
will provide for a contribution of $4,320,000 annually by the Federal Government for this phase of agricultural research
work in the State agricultural experiment stations. Other activities of the department having direct relation to
agriculture have been provided with substantial increases in previous budgets and estimates for 1929 contain many
further increases, the most important being for the control of insect pests, for enforcement of the plant quarantine
act at ports of entry, for the collection and dissemination of market information, for horticulture, for the control of
plant diseases, and for investigations in animal husbandry. The increases contained in the 1929 estimates provide
for $1,780,000 more for fundamental agricultural research work than was provided in the 1928 appropriations.
There are included in the Budget estimates'an increase from $738,000 to $792,000 for printing and binding to
provide for printing a handbook entitled “ M arket Pathology of Fruits and Vegetables” for use of inspectors and
those interested in fruit diseases; an increase from $2,653,733 to $2,705,000 for the Weather Bureau for expenses
incident to the collection and dissemination of meteorological data and for the establishment and maintenance of
additional stations for obtaining data regarding upper-air conditions for the promotion of aviation.
For the Bureau of Animal Industry there are included increases from $689,935 to $730,000 for inspection and
quarantine of animals, from $441,670 to $525,200 for investigation and experiments in animal husbandry, from
$162,760 to $211,100 for scientific investigations of diseases of animals, and from $5,061,110 to $5,206,540 for the
inspection of meat and meat-food products. These increases would provide for promotions of veterinarians in
this bureau.
An increase from $499,734 to $539,600 is included for the Bureau of Dairy Industry, for conducting investigations,
experiments, and demonstrations in the dairy industry.
The principal increases in the Bureau of Plant Industry are from $142,705 to $170,000 for diseases of orchard
and other fruits; from $167,570 to $200,000 for diseases of cotton, truck crops, forage crops, drug and other related
plants; from $200,800 to $300,000 for acclimatization and adaptation investigations of cotton, rubber, and hard fibers,
of which increase $80,000 may be used for rubber investigations in the Philippine Islands; from $171,255 to $196,000
for sugar-plant investigations; from $109,095 to $142,095 for investigations in connection with western irrigation
agriculture; from $197,660 to $225,000 for pomological investigations; from $115,000 to $140,000 for horticultural
investigations; and from $120,500 to $165,000 for forage crop investigations.
The estimate for the Forest Service provides an increase from $6,016,492 to $6,344,000 for the administration
and protection of the national forests. Due to transfers, to and from this item, and also to other minor adjustments
the actual increase is $168,328. O f this actual increase $37,800 is for the employment of additional personnel for the
administration of commercial timber sales and for the regulation of grazing, and $120,528 for increased protection of
the natural forests from forest fires. O f the amount transferred to this appropriation $75,000 is for insect control
work and $108,000 for protection from forest fires. Both of these amounts were transferred from the item “ Fighting
and preventing forest fires,” which item has been accordingly reduced. Other principal increases are from $44,880 to
$64,000 for research investigations of range conditions within the national forests; from $150,000 to $200,000 for seed
and tree planting within the national forests; from $337,000 to $364,300 for silvicultural investigations; from
$526,900 to $587,900 for national forest improvements; from $1,000,000 to $1,200,000 for forest fire cooperation with
the States in accordance with the reforestation act of June 7 ,1 9 2 4 . Items under the headings “ Special funds” and
“ Indefinite appropriations” have been decreased $347,750 to meet the present estimates of cash withdrawals from the
Treasury.
The principal increases in the Bureau of Chemistry and Soils are from $195,947 to $259,000 for investigations
relating to the application of chemistry to agriculture; from $278,940 to $290,000 for fertilizer investigations and
from $237,515 to $253,000 for conducting soil surveys.

t h e BUDGET, 1629

The estimate for 1929 submitted for the Bureau of Entomology and the Federal Horticultural Board contemplate
a reorganization of both activities whereby all research work relating to insect control will be conducted by the Bureau
of Entomology and actual control work including quarantines will be conducted by the Federal Horticultural Board,
which will be designated “ Plant Quarantine and Control Administration.” Under this plan of reorganization the
principal increases in the Bureau of Entomology are from $294,580 to $309,500 for investigations of insects affecting
deciduous fruits; from $68,900 to $113,000 for investigations of insects affecting tropical and subtropical plants;
from $208,590 to $225,000 for investigations of insects affecting truck and garden crops; from $367,535 to $426,900
for investigations of insects affecting cereal and forage crops; from $251,055 to $270,000 for investigations of insects
affecting cotton; from $40,180 to $55,180 for investigations of insects affecting man and domestic animals; and
from $112,277 to $130,000 for taxonomy and interrelations of insects and an insect pest survey.
The principal increases in the estimate for the Bureau of Biological Survey are from $54,000 to $69,000 for the
maintenance of reservations. There is an apparent decrease in this item but due to an item of $18,000 for the erection
of a reservation fence provided for in 1928 there is an actual increase of $15,000; from $568,000 to $590,000 for
investigating the food habits of North American birds and other animals in relation to agriculture and for rodent
and predatory wild animal control.
The principal increases in the Budget estimates for 1929 for the Bureau of Agricultural Economics are from
$362,956 to $382,350 for investigations relating to farm management and farm practice; from $596,780 to $715,000
for acquiring and disseminating information on subjects connected with marketing; from $722,755 to $738,000 for
crop and livestock estimates due to a transfer of $65,000 in 1928 from this item to “ collecting statistics of the grade
and staple of cotton” ; from $1,054,355 to $1,069,355 for market news service; from $220,440 to $260,000 for cooper­
ative marketing investigations; from $65,000 to $400,000 for collecting statistics of the grade and staple of cotton;
from $710,140 to $758,650 for enforcement of the grain standards act; from $5,000 to $30,000 for the enforcement
of the produce agency act of March 3, 1927, and the enforcement of the standard container act for which a separate
appropriation of $5,000 was made in 1928.
An increase is provided for the Bureau of Home Economics from $127,244 to $137,281 for studies of the relative
utility and economy of agricultural products for food, clothing, and other uses in the home.
The principal increases in the new plant quarantine and control administration referred to under the Bureau
of Entomology are from $465,180 to $500,000 for plant quarantine; from $242,800 to $287,800 for suppressing the
spread of the pink bollworm of cotton; from $15,000 to $30,000 for inspection and certification of domestic fresh
fruits, vegetables, and seeds and nursery stock offered for export; from $514,660 to $887,660 for control of the European
com borer; and for the control and for prevention of the spread of an insect pest, new to the United States, and known
as the Mexican fruit worm, an estimate of $100,000 is included.
The principal increases in the food, drug, and insecticide administration are from $918,780 to $938,000 for the
enforcement of the food and drug act; from $200,000 to $215,000-for enforcement of the insecticide and fungicide
act. For enforcement of the recently passed milk importation act and the caustic soda act the Budget estimates
includes $50,000 and $25,000 respectively.
For experiments and demonstrations in livestock production in the cane-sugar and cotton districts of the United
States there is an increase from $43,930 to $54,000.
The Budget estimates also provide that $150,000 of the unexpended balance of $10,000,000 appropriated for
eradication or control of the European com borer for use in the fiscal years 1927 and 1928 shall be available during the
fiscal year 1929 for special com-borer research work, with a view to meeting any situation arising out of the infesta­
tion of the com borer.

The net increase of $131,010 for the department would augment the appropriations for the Office of the Secretary
by $221,350, providing increases in contingent expenses and printing.
For aeronautics the estimate submitted is $120,350 more than the current year’s appropriation. This will per­
mit a considerable enlargement of the program for construction and maintenance of air navigation facilities over
1928. The funds provided will make possible the operation of 7,512 miles of lighted airways by June 30 next, with
2,500 additional miles if the estimate for 1929 be granted.
The estimate calls for $320,000 for wireless communication, an increase of $16,000 over the current availability.
This should permit the full resumption of the responsibility of the Department of Commerce for the enforcement of
radio laws in accordance with the Federal radio act of February 23, 1927.
Increased estimates are submitted for the Bureau of Domestic and Foreign Commerce. The additional funds
recommended— $440,400— will permit greatly enlarged activities in connection with the promotion of commerca.
Estimates for the Bureau of the Census are $116,760 less than the amount available this year. The near comple­
tion of certain projects makes this possible. There is included, however, an item of $110,000 for preliminary work
on the Fifteenth Decennial Census.
Increases are made in estimates for the Steamboat Inspection Service and the Bureau of Navigation to provide
needed additional personnel.

EXPLANATORY SYNOPSIS OF ESTIMATES OF APPROPRIATIONS

The Bureau of Standards’ estimates call for a $115,620 increase, which is needed for additional personnel, investiga­
tion of textiles, structural materials, sugar research, and standardization of equipment. The total estimate of the
Bureau of Standards is less than this year’s appropriations for the reason that current funds were augmented by
a #200,000 appropriation for a new power-plant building.
Allowances for the Lighthouse Service are increased from #10,677,250 to $11,145,250. The amount for salaries,
lighthouse vessels, is increased from $2,273,000 to $2,282,700 for the operation of new light vessels to be put in com­
mission; and the salaries of superintendents and clerks from $570,000 to $576,300, for the employment of additional
watchmen at lighthouse depots. The amount for salaries of lighthouse keepers is reduced from $1,960,000 to $1,950,­
000, due to the installation of automatic lights. An increase from $1,247,000 to $1,722,000 will permit a larger program
of construction under the item of public works than was provided for 1928, the total allowance providing for the
construction and equipment of three new light ships and a tender to replace one condemned and out of commission-;
$130,000 for the completion of three other navigation aids upon which work has already been in progress; $200,000
to continue work upon five more; $242,000 to begin work upon seven; and $50,000 to begin and complete within that
amount the construction of two projects.
Eliminating 1928 supplemental estimates of $408,000 for construction of vessels, the net decrease of $6,510, from
$2,348,590 to $2,342,080, for the Coast and Geodetic Survey involves a decrease from $315,640, to $311,640 for work
on the Pacific coast, and from $650,000 to $640,000 for pay and allowances of crews of vessels; and an increase from
$40,000 to $50,000 for magnetic work to permit observations in seismology.
. . .
.
The decrease of $21,820 from $2,021,568 to $1,999,748, for the Bureau of Fisheries is in reality an increase of
$110,180 for its normal activities when the specific projects for 1928 and 1929 are taken into consideration. The 1928
appropriations and supplemental estimates submitted include two new power vessels, $110,000; Nebraska fish
hatchery, $35,000; and an Oklahoma hatchery, $35,000. The 1929 program of specific projects contemplates
improvements at the following stations: Northville, Mich., $25,000; Beaufort, N . C ., $20,000; Saratoga, W yo.,
$18,000; Neosho, M o ., $15,000; Springville, Utah, $8,000; and transfer of Bryans Point, M d ., station, $8,000.
The resulting actual increase of $110,180 is distributed mainly as follows: Employees at large $40,850 to
$47,730; salaries, fish cultural stations, $260,000 to $266,900; salaries, Alaskan vessels, $65,970 to $78,870, for opera­
tion of new vessel; expenses of fish propagation, $487,000 to $500,000; maintenance of vessels, $146,000 to $152,500;
scientific inquiry $77,000 to $83,000; fishery industries, $25,000 to $55,000, to enable a study of the threatened deple­
tion of Atlantic fisheries; and protecting seal and salmon fisheries of Alaska, $332,000 to $360,000, to enable a more
efficient policing of Alaskan waters.
'
The Patent Office is increased $80,940, from $2,822,860 to $2,903,800, to permit the employment of additional
patent examiners upon the regular permanent roll in order to handle the rapidly increasing work invove d in patent
applications.
Because of the need for $601,000 less in 1929 than in 1928 for helium production and conservation, the 1929
estimate is a decrease for the Bureau of Mines of $463,070, from $3,025,150 to $2,562,080, which, however, involves
increases as follows: Investigation of mine accidents, from $386,470 to $399,470; operating mine rescue cars and sta­
tions, from $327,630 to $342,630, which allowance will permit the purchase and equipment of a new mine rescue car;
mineral mining investigations, from $99,570 to $125,000, providing for the study and testing of various geophysical
methods of locating hidden bodies of minerals and oil. Under oil-shale investigations an increase from $50,000 to
$80,000 is granted to pursue, and, it is contemplated, to complete the investigation into the most practicable and
economical methods of mining shale and of producing oil from the shale. An increase from $71,360 to $76,360 is also
provided for care and maintenance of buildings at the Pittsburgh plant, and the economics of mineral industries receive
an added $50,000, from $225,000 to $275,000. Under helium production and conservation there is a decrease of
$601,000, the 1928 program contemplating construction projects and purchase of gas rights not included in the 1929
program. Equipment expenditures, however, under this appropriation will be increased by about $185,000.

The failure of the second deficiency bill for 1927 forced the use of $38,000,000 of the pension appropriation for
1928 to meet pension payments for the months of M a y and June, 1927. The rapid adjudication during 1928 of a
largely increased number of new claims due to the new pension legislation of the first session of the Sixth-ninth Con­
gress will further increase the shortage in the 1928 appropriation. Accordingly, a supplemental appropriation of
$46,000,000 for Army and Navy pensions for 1928 will be necessaiy. Supplemental estimates for 1928 will also be
necessary in the amount of $3,450,000 for the Coolidge Dam irrigation project being constructed by the Indian Serv­
ice, and of $1,000,000 for the construction of roads and trails by the National Park Service. These and other neces­
saiy supplemental items for 1928, if appropriated by Congress, will increase the total of the 1928 appropriations from
$285,484,020 to $336,683,821.20, or $36,493,732.20 more than the Budget estimate for 1929.
The following comparison is made, therefore, between the Budget estimates for 1929 and the existing appro­
priations for 1928, plus the above-mentioned supplemental estimates for that year. The estimates for the office of
the Secretary of the Interior show a decrease of $865,600 to $850,200, due mostly to small reductions in personnel.
The estimates for the General Land Office are decreased from $2,297,550 to $2,138,550 by reductions in personnel in
the District of Columbia and in the field. For the Geological Survey there is a decrease from $1,807,880 to $1,766,080,
chiefly in the items for classification of lands and oil-leasing work. For the National Park Service the estimates are




a120

t h e BUDGET, 1929

reduced from $4,924,685 to $4,612,250, due to the submission of a supplemental estimate for 1928 of $1,000,000 for
roads and trails construction, although there is an increase of $687,565 in the 1929 estimates over the existing 1928
appropriations. The estimates for the Bureau of Education show a decrease from $921,220 to $914,800, largely through
the reduction of the item for investigation of land-grant colleges. For the Territorial governments, the estimates
show a slight decrease from $1,620,200 to $1,599,200, through a reduction of $100,000 in the estimate for the Alaska
Railroad, which is offset in part by the biennial estimates of $80,000 for legislative expenses.
The estimates for the Bureau of Indian Affairs are apparently decreased from $16,204,486 in 1928 (which includes^supplemental estimates for 1928 of $3,549,801.20) to $13,754,009. Excluding the 1928 supplemental, there
is an increase in the 1929 estimates over the existing 1928 appropriations of $1,099,324, to provide for more extensive
work in educating the Indians and in bettering their condition physically.
For the Bureau of Pensions, the estimates are decreased from $268,816,000 to $231,738,000, through the inclusion
for 1928 of a supplemental estimate of $46,000,000 to meet increased pension payments during that year. The 1929
estimates for the Bureau of Pensions include the amount of $19,950,000 for beginning the financing of the liability of
the United States to the civil-service retirement and disability fund.
Estimates for the Bureau of Reclamation show an increase from $12,498,800 to $13,160,000, to more rapidly
carry on the work of authorized new construction of reclamation projects.
For St. Elizabeths Hospital the estimates are increased from $929,000 to $1,313,000, due to the inclusion of
an item of $400,000 for beginning the construction of a new medical and surgical building to cost, with equipment,
$875,000.
Estimates for the Columbia Institution for the Deaf are increased from $113,400 to $130,000 to provide for
remodeling the power plant. Howard University has an increase from $218,000 to $240,000 in the items for salaries
and expenses. A new item of $150,000 is included to begin construction of a chemistry building to cost $390,000.
The estimates for Freedmen’s Hospital show an increase from $188,000 to $422,000, largely tho result of the inclusion
of an estimate of $242,000 for an enlargement of the nurses’ home, for a new dining room and kitchen facilities, for
remodeling the power plant, and for an addition to the employees’ quarters.
The estimated amounts required under various permanent and indefinite appropriations are increased from
$25,179,000 to $27,454,000.

for salaries and traveling expenses of law clerks for circuit judges, $23,000 for salaries and expenses of stenographers
and salaries of messengers for the new United States district judges, and $15,000 for salaries and expenses of stenog­

For McNeil Island $177,100 is asked for construction and equipment purposes. An item is included of $60,000
for an additional family building to house 40 boys at the National Training School for Boys. An appropriation of
$75,000 was made in 1928 for a similar building. Funds are requested to provide for additional guards for the various
penitentiaries.

EXPLANATORY SYNOPSIS OP ESTIMATES OF APPROPRIATIONS

The act of March 4, 1927 (44 Stat. 1221), authorizes two assistants to the Secretary. Part of the salaries of these
assistants will be met by savings effected by the department and the remainder is provided by the $760 estimate in­
crease.
The need for a larger appropriation to enforce the immigration laws is recognized by the increase of $340,000.
This provides $17,000 for additional personnel in the District of Columbia, $95,000 additional for coast and land border
patrol for prevention of illegal alien entries, funds for additional immigration inspectors to locate aliens illegally in
the United States, and additional funds for the detention, transportation, and deportation of such aliens. The amount
of the estimate for coast and land-border patrol is $195,000 in excess of the fiscal year 1927 appropriation for this
purpose. The estimate increase will provide 16 more senior patrolmen, 100 additional patrolmen, and 88 more immi­
grant inspectors than were carried on the fiscal year 1927 rolls, $75,365 more for detention and maintenance of aliens,
and $157,337 more for transportation of aliens than was expended for similar purposes in the fiscal year 1927 when
12,055 aliens illegally in the United States were deported.
Ellis Island immigration station is in urgent need of repairs, particularly its water system, plumbing, painting,
and electrical fixtures and equipment. An amount of $207,000 is included in the estimate for immigration stations
for these repairs.
The estimate contemplates an increase of $24,000 in the appropriation “ General expenses, Bureau of Naturali­
zation,” to enable the department to keep pace with the increase in applications for citizenship and to provide tempo­
rary additional bureau personnel for the consolidation of 2,250,000 individual records of declarations of intentions,
petitions for citizenship, and certificates of citizenship now maintained in separate filps.
The estimate asks for an appropriation increase of $17,024 for “ Promotion of welfare of maternity and infancy,
Children’s Bureau,” to meet State appropriation<
The estimate contemplates an increase of $2,000 in"the appropriation “ Salaries and expenses, Women’s Bureau,”
for additional travel.
The appropriation “ Contingent expenses, Office of the Secretary of Labor, 1928,” included a special item of
$5,000 for travel expenses of a congressional committee for a survey of coast and land-border immigration conditions.
The estimate is $4,700 less than the 1928 appropriation.
The department has on hand a considerable supply of textbooks for aliens contemplating citizenship, and the
estimate asks for a reduction of $15,000 in the appropriation “ Publishing citizenship textbooks, Bureau of Naturali­
zation.”

14, 299,043

O f the $23,791,020 supplemental estimates for 1928, mentioned above, $21,417,000 is due to legislation enacted
by the last Congress.
It is contemplated that the Budget estimates will provide for the same number of enlisted men of the Navy
and Marine Corps for 1929 as for 1928; for practically the same number of ships in commission during 1929 as will
be in commission at the close of 1928; for continuing work at a normal rate of speed on all new ships under construc­
tion at the present time; for completion of repairs and alterations to the battleships O k la h o m a and N e v a d a ; for meet­
ing the third increment of the Navy five-year aircraft program, and second installment on the construction of one large
airship; for numerous public works projects including new buildings and a continuation of the work of dredging the
Pearl Harbor Channel; and for the efficient maintenance and operation of the fleet and shore stations.
The net increase of $14,299,043 over the 1928 availability is absorbed very largely by the Increase of the N avy
and Aviation. On the supposition that supplementals^submitted for this item will be approved, there will be avail­
able for increase of the N avy this year $39,615,000. Estimates for this purpose for 1929 total $48,000,000, an
increase of $8,385,000. This amount will enable the prosecution of work on all naval work authorized by Congress,
with the exception of 3 submarines and 12 destroyers authorized in 1916, for which no funds are wanted at this time.
There is recommended for aviation, N avy, for 1929, an availability of $32,735,000, an increase of $10,773,000
over the 1928 availability. This will provide for the third increment of the N a v y ’s five-year air program.
Ample provision is made for major alteration of vessels, including alteration_pf_submarine S~4% . F o r public
works, Bureau of Yards and Docks, $4,276,000 is recommended.
For engineering the Budget carries an estimate of $19,400,000; for construction and repair of vessels, $17,000,000;
for ordnance and ordnance stores, $13,000,000; pay, subsistence, and transportation, $149,250,000; maintenance
Bureau of Supplies and Accounts, $9,862,000; and maintenance Bureau of Yards and Docks, $7,500,000; all of which
show substantial increases. Fuel and transportation, however, shows a [reduction from $12,000,000 ^ ^ 1 9 2 8 ^ 1 0
$10,690,000 for 1929, due to reduction in price of oil.
For pay of the Marine Corps there is a slight increase, while general expenses, Marine'Corps, are reduced from
$0,405,000 available for 1928, to $8,370,000 for 1929. Supplemental estimates for 1928 amounting to $1,207,520
abnormally swell the 1928 availability, made necessary by extraordinary expenditures for China and Nicaragua
expeditionary forces.

10, 682, 042

The estimates for 1929 show an increase of only 1.4 per cent over the appropriations and supplemental estimates
for 1928, which is below the usual rate of increase shown in previous years. This increase does not, however, fairly
represent the provision that has been made in the estimates for the expansion of the Postal Service in the fiscal year
1929, by reason of the fact that the estimates and appropriations for 1928 were based upon an anticipated increase of
6 per cent in postal business.
I t now appears that the increase in business in 1928 will not amount to more than 4
per cent. While it has not been possible to reduce expenses in a corresponding ratio, the need for additional employees
and supplies has not been as great as it otherwise would have been. I t is now estimated that the expenditures in 1928
will be approximately $14,700,000 less than the appropriations. On this basis the estimates for 1929 will show an
increase of approximately $25,400,000, or 3.4 per cent, over the estimated expenditures for 1928. The 1929 estimates
are again figured on the basis of a 6 per cent increase in postal business, which is considered the only safe basis in esti­
mating so far in advance requirements of the service.
The more important increases and decreases are as follows:
An increase in departmental salaries of $69,300, which provides for five additional draftsmen in the Division
of Topography of the Fourth Assistant Postmaster General’s office and promotions in the several bureaus of the
department.
An increase of $650,000 for compensation of watchmen, messengers, and laborers, to provide for automatic pro­
motions authorized by law and additional laborers in post offices.
An increase of $100,000 for car fare and bicycle allowances, because of increased number of city delivery carriers
who, in the interest of economy of time, must be transported over the larger area occupied by the increasing population
of the larger cities.
An increase of $4,450,000 for city delivery carriers, to provide for the automatic promotions authorized by law
and for necessary additions to the force.
An increase of $450,000 for vehicle service, principally for the purchase of new equipment.
An increase of $2,000,000 in the provisions for carrying air mail by private contractors, due to the marked increase
in mail offered for transmission by this means.
An increase of $1,200,000 for transportation of foreign mail, including an increase of $150,000 in the provision for
carrying foreign mail by aircraft.
A decrease of $400,000 in the allowance for indemnities for the loss or damage of domestic mails, due to reduction
in the number of claims filed as the result of better protection given parcel-post mail, including taking of receipts on
delivery of insured parcel post.
A decrease of $50,000 in the allowance for purchase of stationery, due to economies in use of supplies and reduced
prices.
An increase of $125,000 in the item for labor-saving devices, to provide for additional conveyor systems in a
number of the larger post offices and the replacement of wom-out equipment.
An increase of $420,000 allowance for mail bags and equipment to provide for replacement and repair of old bags
and necessary increase in the number of new sacks and pouches required.
An increase of $494,000 for the Rural Delivery Service, to provide for extension of existing routes and necessary
additional routes.

This indicated increase is distributed very generally through State Department activities for increases in personnel
and certain increases in pay made necessary by greatly increased demands upon the service. Additional help is pro­
vided for the very necessary recataloguing of the State Department library. An additional amount is provided for
extending the examinations abroad for intending immigrants.
An increase of $76,000 is recommended for post allowances to Foreign Service officers needed to meet extraordi­
nary living conditions in certain localities.
The annual allowance to the Pan American Union is increased from $150,568.93 to $152,256. This allowance
is based on population, and the increase is necessitated by a new estimate of population for the United States and
its dependencies of 132,256,000 people.
There is a new item of $35,000 for the International W ater Commission, United States and Mexico, created by
the act of March 3, 1927.
Another new item is an estimate of $41,000 for a statue of Henry Clay in Caracas, Venezuela, called for by th@
act of February 24, 1927.
Sufficient funds are recommended for prosecution of the plans for acquisition of buildings and grounds in forftign

EXPLANATORY SYNOPSIS OF ESTIMATES OP APPROPRIATIONS

$10,000,000 for the purpose of properly housing our foreign representatives. The sum of $435,000 has been appro­
priated under this act, a supplemental estimate for $700,000 will be submitted for 1928, while $1,300,000 is asked
for 1929.
Suitable embassy buildings for Tokyo, Japan, were authorized by the act of February 2 1 ,1 9 2 5 . A total expendi­
ture not to exceed $1,250,000 was authorized. Of this amount, $880,000 has been appropriated. The total estimated
expenditure on this project to June 30, 1929, is $1,130,000. To keep pace with this program an estimate of $250,000
is carried in this Budget for 1929.
In this Budget appears for the first time an estimate for the Foreign Service retirement and disability fund,
$213,000. This fund was established by the act of M ay 24, 1924, amended by the act of July 3, 1926. The amount
carried for this purpose in this Budget, if appropriated annually, will liquidate the Government’s accrued liability
within a period of 60 years and at the same time take care of the Government’s normal liability for that period, which
will be reduced to 27 years if the annual increase in the pay roll during that time amounts to 3 per cent.

Net reduction_________________________________________________________________

11, 181, 928. 23

The principal factors involved in this net reduction, with respect to the branches of the service involved, are
as follows:
DIVISION OF SUPPLY

A decrease of $105,000 in the provision for printing and binding, and $50,000 in the provision for stationery, due
to decreased requirements.
PUBLIC DEBT SERVICE

A decrease of $25,000 in expenses of administration of public debt issues, due to the removal from rented quarters
to the new addition to the Liberty Loan Building, an increase of $116,640 in the estimated expenditures from the
indefinite appropriation for expenses of loans, due to increase in refunding operations, and a decrease of $236,715 in
the cost of distinctive paper for United States securities, due to the proposed reduction in the size of United States
notes. Included in the estimate for 1929 is a provision for a one month’s reserve stock of distinctive paper. Provision
is no longer made in the public debt estimates for the preparation and issue of Federal reserve notes, as the Federal
Reserve Board estimates are carried in the Budget for 1929 for the first time. This item amounted to $1,504,000 in
the 1928 estimates.
CUSTOMS SERVICE

An increase of $1,000,000 in the item “ Collecting the revenue from customs,” due largely to the transfer to the
customs service pay roll of the forces engaged in patroling our borders to prevent the smuggling of liquors into this
country, and increases in salaries of customs employees amounting to $200,000, in addition to a like sum appropriated
for this purpose for the fiscal year 1928.
The changes in the indefinite appropriations consist of an increase of $600,000 for refunds of excessive duties
and a decrease of $6,000,000 for debentures or drawbacks.
FARM-LOAN BOARD

An increase of $68,201 in the provisions for salaries and miscellaneous expenses, principally for increase in force,
to enable the board to increase its supervisory and examiner forces.
COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

An increase of $50,000 in the estimated expenditures under the indefinite appropriation for salaries and expenses
of national-bank examiners.
BUREAU OP INTERNAL REVENUE

A decrease of $785,000 in the expense of collecting the internal revenue, due to the transfer to the newly created
Bureau of Prohibition of employees heretofore carried on the internal-revenue roll but engaged on “ prohibition” work,
and to a decrease in the field force.
There is a decrease of approximately $14,600,000 in the requirement for refund of internal-revenue taxes.
A decrease of $300,000 in the indefinite appropriation for redemption of internal-revenue stamps, and a decrease
of $400,000 in the provision for payment into the treasury of the Philippine Islands of taxes collected in the United

officers and enlisted men by the year 1931.
.
.
.
.
The Budget estimate also provides for essentials connected with the maintenance and operation of active mili­
tary posts, camps, and stations as now constituted, the estimates for 1929 for the three principal activities falling
within this classification, namely, Barracks and Quarters, Water and Sewers, and Roads, Walks, Wharves, and Drain­
age, amounting to a total of $10,440,000, an increase of $1,672,502 over the appropriation for 1928. For new con­
struction at military posts of barracks and quarters, with utilities and appurtenances thereto, there is carried in the
Budget estimate the sum of $5^000,000, and provision is made for obligation by contract to the extent of $2,115,000
additional.
Provision is made for necessary Army transportation, including the operation of the Army Transport Service;
for the purchase of 2,400 horses, 1,981 mules, and 468 automobiles for the Army as replacements; for the maintenance
in part of war reserves, including $7,051,500 for ammunition; for the surveillance of and protection of stocks of
ammunition to prevent deterioration and spontaneous combustion; for the continued operation of Army laundries
at general hospitals, the Disciplinary Barracks, and at various camps, posts, and stations; for the upkeep of existing
fortifications and accessories; and for carrying forward the general plan for the protection of the Panama Canal.
For the Air Corps $29,817,268 is estimated, $24,817,268 being for direct appropriation and $5,000,000 for obli­
gation by contract, there being included in these figures the sum of $11,257,445 for the procurement of airplanes,
their spare parts, and accessories. In addition the Budget estimate makes indirect provision for the Air Corps to the
extent of approximately $19,000,000, various sums aggregating this amount being included in the estimate submitted
for the pay and supply branches of the Army for the maintenance and operation and expansion of the Air Corps.
There is also included in the Budget estimate for the purchase of airplanes, their spare parts, and accessories, the sum
of $734,288 for the National Guard and $194,087 for the Organized Reserves.
For the United States Military Academy provision is made for the essentials connected with its maintenance
and operation.
Excluding all items of a nonmilitary character, as well as the pay of military personnel on the retired lists of the
Arm y, the total amount provided for national defense in the War Department budget estimates is $291,331,838.
For rivers and harbors, $50,000,000 is estimated for the maintenance and improvement of existing river and har­
bor works, in addition to $7,251,200 which will be available from permanent specific and indefinite appropriations

spectively, are estimated. For the maintenance and operation of Dam N o. 2, Muscle Shoals, Ala., including its
hydroelectric power plant, $275,000 is estimated. This plant is being operated and the power generated sold to private
interests and is producing a net annual revenue of approximately $900,000, which is deposited in the Treasury to the
credit of miscellaneous receipts. The total provided for all items of river and harbor work is $68,176,200.

The Budget estimate provides for essentials necessary for the normal maintenance and operation of the canal,
including $600,000 for overhaul of the Pacific locks, and for the sanitation and civil government of the Canal Zone.
In addition, provision is made for certain capital additions, including $600,000 for continuing the construction of
permanent quarters.
There is also included in the Budget an estimate of $250,000 for commencing construction of a dam across the
Chagres River, at Alhajuela, Panama, for the storage of water for use in the maintenance and operation of the Panama
Canal. This is a large and necessary project, to cost not in excess of $12,000,000. This projected dam will provide
additional water storage of about 22 billions of cubic feet, and in addition thereto will be a means of control of the
Chagres River floods during the rainy season, which are a possible menace to canal navigation. It will require
approximately five years to complete the undertaking. Canal business is increasing. The number of commercial
craft, the net tonnage of vessels, and the volume of cargo passing through the canal during the Government year
ending with June 30, 1927, exceeded the record for any previous yeair. The construction of this projected dam is
an important and necessary step in the plan to provide for the increasing demands on the canal and for the extraor­
dinary development of canal business that is promised.

THE BUDGET, 1929

In connection with Budget estimates for maintaining and operating this great national asset the following infor­
mation is of interest:
The investment in the canal and its adjuncts is partly for national defense and partly commercial. To June 30,
1927, the investment charged to national defense was $113,122,892 and to commercial use $269,435,229, the total
investment being $382,558,121, which is exclusive of fortifications, military posts, and submarine bases. The total
gross revenues to June 30, 1927, amounted to $318,447,726, derived from tolls, taxes, and business operations. D e­
ducting from this the expenses incident to transiting vessels through the canal, $95,077,645, and expenses connected
with business operations, $143,416,206, which includes the value of services, supplies and materials sold, we get a
net revenue, excluding interest on the investment, of $79,953,875. Of this, $74,004,276 was from tolls and taxes
and $5,949,599 from business operations. Included in the expense account for the canal are fixed annual charges of
$948,240 for depreciation and amortization of canal fixed property and $600,000 for depreciation on canal plants and
equipment. The amount of tolls collected has increased from $5,627,463 in 1917, to $24,228,830.11 in 1927.

1,211,005.26

The failure of the second deficiency bill for the fiscal year 1927 required the use of $116,468 of the police and
firemen’ s relief fund appropriated for 1928 to meet relief and other payments to beneficiaries thereunder for the
months of M a y and June, 1927. This situation also applied with respect to the employees’ compensation fund
of the District, and to the work incident to caring for children committed to the guardianship of the Board of Public
.Welfare. Supplemental estimates to cover these payments have therefore been submitted for the fiscal year 1928.
A supplemental estimate for 1928 of $100,000 has also been submitted in order that necessary repairs may be made
to the suburban roads of the District after February, 1928, at which time the current appropriation for this purpose
will be exhausted. These and other neccssary supplemental items for 1928, if appropriated by Congress, will increase
the total of the 1928 appropriations from $38,824,385 to $39,220,180.74. This latter amount is $1,211,005.26
below the Budget estimate for 1929. The following comparison between the Budget estimates for 1929 and the
appropriations for 1928 takes into account, in the amount of the latter items, the supplemental estimates under
those items for 1928.
The estimates for 1929 for street and road improvement provide an increase of $356,700, and include, in addition
to larger amounts for paving new streets and for repaving and repairing old streets and suburban roads, $178,000 to
cover the cost of reconstructing the floor system of the Highway Bridge over the Potomac River, and $5,000 for the
preparation of plans and specifications for the elimination of the Michigan Avenue grade crossing. Increases of
$25,000 for cleaning streets, and of $50,000 for the collection and disposal of refuse are recommended.
An increase of $20,395 is recommended for general repairs and improvements to playgrounds and swimming pools,
and to provide for the equipment and operation of two additional playgrounds.
The recommended increase of $160,000 for street lighting will continue the program of replacing gas lamps and
certain electric lamps with improved electric lighting equipment. An increase of three additional inspectors and one
clerk is also recommended for the office of the electrical engineer.
For public schools the amount proposed is $12,156,130, which is $158,115 in excess of the appropriations for 1928.
The estimates provide for 95 additional teachers for varying periods of service during the year based upon class needs
and probable date of occupancy of new buildings; and include $250,000 for completing the construction of the
M cKinley Technical High School, $250,000 for a stadium and improvement of the grounds at this school, $350,000
for completing the equipment of the school, and $70,500 for remodeling and equipping the old M cKinley Technical
High School for use as the Shaw Junior High School, and the old Shaw Junior High School for use as a colored busi­
ness high school. The estimates also provide for the construction of new school buildings, for completion in 1929,
that will contain 62 classrooms and 8 assembly halls and gymnasiums; and also provide for beginning the construc­
tion of new school buildings containing 48 classrooms and 2 assembly halls and gymnasiums. Items are included for
the purchase of land for a new health school for colored children and for a new location for the old Bell School. For
the improvement of grounds surrounding public-school buildings it is proposed that not to exceed $100,000 of the
unexpended balances remaining from prior appropriations be made available for this purpose.
The estimates for 1929 provide for 25 additional men for the Metropolitan police force and $52,000 for the
erection of a proposed No. 15 police precinct station house.
An estimate of $12,000 is recommended for the purchase of a site in the vicinity of Connecticut and Nebraska
Avenues N W ., for a new fire engine company in that locality, and $12,000 is also provided for the purchase of a new
motor-driven rescue squad wagon for the fire department.
An increase of $56,000 is recommended for the workhouse to provide two additional dormitories and a dining
hall and kitchen, and for reconditioning and enlarging the brick plant at that institution.
Estimates of $350,000 and $25,000, respectively, as authorized by legislation enacted during the second session
of the Sixty-ninth Congress, are recommended for the construction and equipment of a nurses’ home at Columbia
Hospital and Lying-In Asylum, and for the refund of moneys belonging to the hospital which had previously been
covered into the Treasury of the United States. An estimate of $465,000 is provided for completing the construction
of the domestic service and ward buildings at Gallinger Municipal Hospital.

EXPLANATORY SYNOPSIS OF ESTIMATES OF APPROPRIATIONS

For general expenses, public buildings and public parks, the Budget recommends an increase for 1929 of $67,000
over the 1928 appropriation of $358,000, principally for the purpose of expediting the improvement of the Rock Creek
and Potomac connecting parkway.
For operating the recently completed Washington Aqueduct there is recommended for 1929 an estimate of
$425,000 as compared with the 1928 appropriation of $202,210. While this represents an apparent increase of
$222,790, that amount becomes a net increase of $89,290 through reductions in the estimates for the operating expenses
of the W ater Department. An increase of $25,000 is recommended for installing fire hydrants, and estimates totaling
$247,350 are submitted for laying water mains in various sections of the city.

1 1 5 9-1 1 6 0 ) ______________________________________________ ________ . . . . .
_ N ote .—R equest for increase o f $2,500 for P u blic Printer and $2,000 for D e p u ty P u blic Printer
is fully Justified b y com parison w ith present com pensation paid a large num ber o f commissioners
and heads of independent establishments, ranging from $10,000 to $12,000 a year. T h e adm inis­
tration of the G overnm ent P rinting Office requires specialized know ledge, experience, and
executive ability and carries responsibilities fully com parable w ith an y o f these positions. Fur­
ther, there are num erous cases in the com m ercial fiela where adm inistrative officers in printing
and binding plants are paid from $10,000 to $25,000 a year, som e receiving in addition a substantial
bonus, and none o f these establishments do a variety or volum e o f business com parable w ith
that required o f the G overnm ent Printing Office. H . R . &459, S iity-n in th Congress, first session,
carrying the proposed salaries o f $10,000 and $7,000, respectively, was favorably reported b y the
C om m ittee on P rinting o f tbe H ouse o f Representatives.
I t is recom m ended that the present plan o f allotting a certain portion o f the w orking capital
for “ Salaries, office o f the P u blic Printer, in accordance w ith the classification act of 1023,” be
discontinued for the follow ing reasons: T h e Kiess A c t to regulate and fix rates of pay for em ploy­
ees and officers o f the G overnm ent Printing Office, approved June 7,1924 (Stat. L . p. 658), after
passing in the n o u s e , was am ended in the Senate to clearly and definitely state that the sala­
ries and wages ol all officers and em ployees in the G overnm ent Printing Office were to be
governed thereby,*and the language o f the act beyon d question included the salaries o f em ployees
w h o happened to b e classed under “ O ffice o f the P u blic P rinter” ; the Com ptroller General
how ever, has held that inasm uch as the law refers to tbe classification act, that act, and n o t the
K iess A ct, m ust ap p ly. T h e salaries paid under the “ Office o f the P u blic P rinter” are a defi­
n ite and inseparable part o f printing and binding costs and are covered in the charges m ade to
departm ents. T h e w ork perform ed b y the em ployees concerned is closely connected and com ­
parable In every w a y w ith the w ork o f a m uch larger num ber o f em ployees w ho are paid out of
the same appropriation. Th ere seems n o longer to be a n y ro o d reason w h y one appropriation
coverin g one definite object—i. e., “ to provide the P u b lic Printer w ith a w orking capital” —
should be divided in such a w a y as to require the K iess A c t to a p p ly to 97H per cent o f the
personnel and the classification a ct t o
per cent. T h is condition should be corrected as
recom m ended.

mate estimate of the cost thereof, together with a statement from the
Public Printer of estimated approximate cost of work previously ordered
by Congress within the fiscal year for which this appropriation is made.
During the fiscal year [1928] 1929 any executive department or inde­

binding for any department or establishment, so far as the Bureau of the
Budget may deem practicable, shall be incorporated in a single item for
printing and binding for such department or establishment and be elimi­
nated as a part of any estimate for any other purpose. And if any
amounts for printing and binding are included as a part of any estimates
for any other purposes, such amounts shall be set forth in detail in a note
immediately following the general estimate for printing and binding:
Provided, That the foregoing requirements shall not apply to work to be
executed at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
No part of any money appropriated in this act shall be paid to any person
employed in the Government Printing Office while detailed for or per­
forming service in any other executive branch of the public service of the
United States unless such detail be authorized by law.
