BY reference to the foregoing lsgi,l.hon II would
appear that, up to June 20, 1890, Congress lad
never IN terms restricted the expenditure Of the
appropriations to any particular plans, speeihoA.
from the 6rst enactment. - 49,. ~.
The work was commenced on the plan aud speoi-
icatons OF Capt, NJ. @. MegS, Of the United stAtes
Corps Of Engineers. On refefcnoe 70 the report Of
that officer dated October lst 1881 and on perusal
OF the inscriptions upon the aqueduct structures
published on the hrst page Of Yesterdays
eaper), u would appear 70 Indicate that Captain
Megs felt justified In the belief HAT he would re-
main in charge OF the work until II was fully cora
pleted, 10 accordance with his plans and Speoln-
cations. Asubsequent act Of Congress was passed
June 2iht, 1881, 70 wit And all unexpended
money which has been heretofore appropriated,
and all money which may be hereaftsF AppropFi-
ated for the completion Of said wAter-workS, shall
be expended under the direction Of the Secretary
Of the Intorior.n This act or resolution seems 70
repeal OF annul the restrictions previously placed
upon the expenditure, both with reference 70 the
plans OF Capt Melga a. well TO his nuperintend-
ence, and leaves the Secretary OF the Interior
sHonsible alone to Congress- for the manner In
which the work 10 conducted and the money sx-
