WASHINGTON, July 16 (U.P Thousands of World h war veterans marched on the United States capitol Saturday Satur-day in a tumultous bonus demonstration. Cheering, shouting men clamored at the doors of congress con-gress and a( times gave indications of getting out of control. The police po-lice at one time held Walter W.

Roy Rfluertson, the crippled Oulifoi man, whose flaming spirit had maintained a capitol "death watch" uf veterans inarching back and forth in front of the capitol since Tuesday, also was taken intc temporary custody as the police ordered the veterans away from the steps of the capitol. In the meantime an effort of leads of "the bonus army" to carry their fight directly to President Hoover was frustrated at the White House today. Captain Eugene Everett of Ma-plewood, Ma-plewood, N.

Reductions in nearly every department de-partment were the" rule this year, the commissioners having cut several sev-eral employees from the payroll in order to effect economy. , The police po-lice department has run on $6,- 291.97 the first six months of this. year, where last year it cost $7-670.98. $7-670.98. This means a saving of $1,379.01. The fire department, too, shows a reduction in costs. In this department, de-partment, $1,479.29 less has been spent than in the first six months of 1932. In the public improvements, streets and irrigation department, there was $11,149.72 less spent in the first six months of this year than in last. This is chiefly due to the fact that in the public improvements im-provements department,, work has been at a standstill this year on account ac-count of the retrenchment program. pro-gram. Last year the east sewer outfall was constructed at a coro paratively heavy cost. This year the public lmproya ments -department -has spent $2, 802.70. and last year they "pent .$10,707.73. The recreational expen ditures . were also cut draattcalfrW hy action of Mayor J. N. Eliertson and Commissioners J. .E. -Snyde and Walter P. Whitehead. Where the costs .last year were $1069.30 for the first six months this year the recreational program has cost $665.67. The eutUmg out of the band concerts and Cutting some of the recreational employees, , effected the economy. '. :4 The total expenditures for the-city the-city thus far this year, lessthe money spent in the waterwbrksae partment,. is $85015. The' golf course. has cost $2,456.71 this year and cost only $1,926.03 last year. This, with the publla welfare expenditures, in the public affairs and finance department, are the only two major items that show an apparent increase this year over last. In the public welfare ' department, depart-ment, there is approximately a $3000 Increase this year over -last. A good portion of this is due to t&a fact that last year the city paid less than its share on a public welfare wel-fare fund by error, and is making it up this year.
