This is now reduced to $3.000.000 under the estimates as submitted by the Bureau of the Budget to operate the service for the fiscal year 1924. If we are comptelled to operate under an appropriation of that amount it will be necessary to reduce our force by 228 persons. whose average salaries must be at least $1.440 a year. We must also curtail activities in connection with the ridding of the country of undesirable aliens who are found to be unlawfully resident therein. During the fiscal year 1922. in order to keep within the appropriation we were conpelled to furlough field emnloyees from 15 to 30 days each. aside from the officers fin charge. This resulted in a saving of approximately $100.000. We were also compelled during that year to practically serve notice on the field that they must keep within their allotments. even though it meant curtailing the deportation of aliens found to be unlawfully in the country.
