They all signed a report in
i tbev state that the bill came
whic
from the House only 1 forty-eight
hours be
fore the close of the session,
and
tha
it contained 203 1 items.
Owing r. a want of time and parlia-
rmntary
objections it was found im
o consider these items. And
possible
vt it is
manifest that the Committee
a i favor
ed the bill in the. main, and
possibly "altogether. It called for
8,0j)0,obo. They would not; ask for
the appropriations because " they had
not been able to make the needed ex
amination ia detail. But they say,
a fid it i$ very significant: i
The importance of the annual I appro
priation for rivers and harbors can not be
overestimated. The water . channels ,of
commuincation between the different parts
of tht country and the facilities afforded "by .
nU- and; commodious harbors are -the great
securities of commerce against oppressive
rates of jtransportation by railroad compa
nies, i ,v i ' ' .
"We are deeply impressed with the .im
portance of continuing the works -A and re
pairs ;in our rivers and .Xarbors ,1 already
commenced and of the danger of great loss
Jo the Government if these works t are in
terrupted." . t
