River And Harbo v - A Compri Washington, 0. .C., June "Th river and harbor appropriation bill, which will be reported to the Senate in a tow days, is. In my judgment, the most comprehensive pleasure formulated for the development of the waterways of the United Statec that has been reported oat of the Senate Committeo on Commerce for many years," said Senator Simmons of North Carolina, acting chairman of that committee and chairman of the Plnance Committee, who, with Oscar W. Underwood, of the House Committee an Ways and Means, la oo-author of the Underwood-Simmons tariff bill. j "While the present river and h&r" ^ toor bill may show an increase over laai /ears diu to too extent or probably three millions of dollars, the Senate bill haa brought up to date the recommendations of the engineer of the army which were not available when the House Committee on Rivera and Harbors had the bill under consideration. This necessarily follows, for the House originates all bills appropriating revenues for the | conduct of., the government. "The Houee bill," oontlnned Senator Simmons, "came to the Commerce Committee of the Senate carTying a total In caah of $39,468,000. The Senate added In cash apf proprlatlona $3,922,000, making a total of $43,380,000. Undgr contract authorization, the HoujBe provided four millions In round numbers and the eSnate has added to that $6,362,000, malkng a total Jn contract authorization In the present bill of $10,362,600. While the Senate bill la upwards of $63,000^000 as against the Honse bill of $'43,000,000,Staking the 8qnat,e appear as having raised the House upwards of ten millions.of dollars, the'fact remains that there are two continuing contracts'provided In the Senate bill aggregating about $6,000,000, which should not be counted against the bill Itself because the amounts nec-j eatary for these continuing eontracts ? trTl be taken care of from year to, year In the sundry civil bill. "To tbs lay miftd. the amount of ' # monpy appropriated for the 'develop- j , ment of the waterways and harbors j ;: ? ? of the United states may seem large and yet, It Is small when the needs j of the country, for better facilities In transportation, are taken into con% .... alderatlon. It must not ba forgotten la this connection tfcat the requirements are greater than they ever . &\ wi tmfpje; them are mpre people nation asking cheaper freight " " " im r?- f ... v,? , k = ?i'.' -.(<v,1v(4i'.| TIC AT .IGHTS AT K YESTERDAY ttlonal Flights For Today, ctatlve Of The Patronage ( m and Aafla tints In Washator, -which ?m not duplicated.
