The River Commission report says
the amount of money available after
completing the work now in progress
on the Missouri River is not larger than
should be retained to meet emergen-
cies, which may occur at any time, and
that general resumption of work is
therefore impossible until Congress
makes additional appropriations In
this connection, it says that no more
than six months work can be done on
the Missouri River in each year, and
that work should be begun by April 1.
As the appropriation for the current
fiscal year would not be available until
July 1, it is recommended that fifty per
cent of the amount asked for the COM
ing fiscal year be appropriated and
made Immediately available. The total
amount asked for the next fiscal year
is 81, 525, 600. The amount available
on November so, 1885, for continuing
the improv emezt of the Missouri River
was S175.762
