Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Appropriation Bill Senator Warren. That is the price of the messengers, anyway - $840. The Acting Chairman. All right. Now we go to page 4, line 18, under the Weather Bureau. The appropriation last year was for seventeen clerks. This year the Department estimated for eighteen and the House has put in eighteen. Senator Warren. You have the estimate now? The Acting Chairman. The estimate is eighteen, and the House accepted the estimate. Senator Warren. Now, down on the last line there is the same thing. The Acting Chairman. Not quite. Senator Warren. An increase of one. The Acting Chairman. The appropriation was eight. Senator Warren. They increased it one. The Acting Chairman. The estimate is nine, and the House increased it one. Senator Warren. Then it is just the same. The Acting Chairman. Yes. Senator Warren. They allowed the estimate? The Acting Chairman. Yes. Now we go to the bottom of page 6. This is under "Contingent expenses, Weather Bureau." Here is a notation, "And for horse and carriage for use of Chief of Weather Bureau." Senator Warren. No; he does not want that. He wants an increase of salary instead of that, because it was cut out in former bills, and he had to buy his own outfit of horse and carriage. He says that will be of little value if you put it on, while the salary increase will be of value. That same matter came up last year, though you may have forgotten it. The Acting Chairman. Yes; I recall it. Did we not increase his salary last year? Senator Warren. No. The Acting Chairman. How long ago was it? Senator Warren. Some years ago. The Acting Chairman. Not so many years ago. Senator Warren. Well, perhaps four years ago. Doctor Galloway. The Secretary said that he was not going to recommend this at this time, nor the carriage matter either, because that matter had been so thoroughly discussed in the House that he thought it would better rest for the present. Senator Warren. Who has been the Acting Secretary lately, since the Secretary has been away? Doctor Galloway. Mr. Hays. Senator Warren. Formerly, you know, Mr. Moore acted; and of course a carriage was rather necessary then, because of the remoteness of his station. Doctor Galloway. The Secretary´s carriage was there at his disposal, however. Senator Warren. Yes. The Acting Chairman. This was offered in the House, as I understand it? Senator Perkins. It was put in the bill by the committee, and went out on a point of order, as being new legislation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
