The truth Of the matter il. that it 10 like
your 5000, 900 appropriation and nothing
will be done. We cshnot o. mmence work
OF this character; We cannot blow out rocks
at the bottom Of . river covered two or
three feet with water. or begin to blow them
out With yonr 100000 appropriation. II
NO continue that course Of policy We need Z
much larger appropriation. II - build Z
