Still Some Hope,
Mayor Says, For
Waterways Bill
There is hope that objeetionable
projects in the waterways bill, ve- i
toed Tuesday, may be weeded out. i
The bill, which was vetoed by j
President Eisenhower, would have I
authorized funds for the deepen- j
ing of the Morehead City port i
channel and widening of the turn- !
ing basin.
This is the second time that
Eisenhower vetoed the bill. He
vetoed it last year for the same
reasons it was vetoed this week.
The president said some of the
projects were wasteful and some
were not even approved by the
agencies concerned.
Mayor George Dill, after con
tacting Congressman Graham Bar
den's office in Washington Wed
nesday, said that there are so
many worthy projects in the bill
that the Senate Public Works Com
mittee may be able to "clean up"
the bill and get it back to both
houses before this session of Con
gress adjourns.
Even if this were done. Mayor
Dill pointed out, it would be ano
ther year before any funds could
be appropriated because funds
cannot be set aside the same year
that a project is authorized.
The waterways bill covered pro
jects totaling flVii billion. The
Morehead City project was $1,197,
000.
