assented to the levy Of tonnage dues by the
States of Rhode Island Maryland and Georgia, 1t
being understood that the dues collected were to be
applied to the improvement of harbors in those
States.
The first money appropriated from the National
Treasury for harbor improvements was the sum OF
$4,000 in 1902 for repairing and building piers in
the Delaware River.
The amount of money appropriated by the bill Of
1926 above mentioned was $65,320. In 1880.
half century ago, the annual appropriation for
rivers and harbors had increased to 1897, 1913 4s.
This included $4,000 for the Delaware Break
water, work which has cost up to the present time
nearly $3,OO0,O0O.
The Importance Of the Ohio and Mississippi
Rivers to the internal commerce of the
country was thoroughly recognized at that
early dav. For several years the annual ap-
preparations for improving the navigation
Of those rivers had been $4,000 but the most
ardent friend Of internal improvements, in those
days, would have been astounded indeed. could he

bill, brought in by Democrats, it would require o
wild imagination to describe.
Tho bill reported by Mr.. Reagan on the 4th In
slant appropriates 1888, 800. of which $3994,-
900 is to be expended In the Southern States, and
$4,3705 800 in the Northern States and Territories,
while the sum of $16O,000 is to be expended in
making ninety-three surveys, with view to
future works. 1t Is expected that an effort will he
