II ] invite your attention to the remarks
: on This subject. and on others ronnrrir,l
/ with this department. contained in the
accompanying report If the Secretary ii
War.
RI Measures have been taken to carry
, into effect the law of the last session
making provision for the improvement
OF certain rivers and harbors, and it is
, believed that the arrangements made
Tor that purpose will combine efiicien.
cy with economy. Owing chiefly to the
advanced season when the act was pas
sed, little has yet been done in regard
to many OF the works beyond making
the necessary preparations. With re.
aspect to few of the improvements,
, the sums already appropriated will
suffice toscomplete them, but most Of
them will require additional appropria.
tons. trust that these appropria-
, tons will be made, and that this wise
and beneficent policy, so auspici0nsly
. resumed, will be continued. Great
care should be taken. however, to com.
mence no work which is not Of sufficient
Importance to the commerce of the
country to be viewed as national in its
/, character. But works which have been
commenced should not be discontinued
until completed, as otherwise the sums
expended will, in most cases, be lost.
