Senator MCMILLAN, chairman OF the Senate COM

STAR reporter, as to whether or not a river and
harbor bill will be passed at this session, said:
81 presume bill will be framed and passed as
1t has been the custom to make annual provision
for these Improvements. know OF no reason why
the custom should be omitted at this session"
The reporter called his attention to the recent
statement OF the Secretary or War showing that
nearly s17, 100000 OF river and harbor apprOpr1a-
uOnS remain on hand.
"Yes," replied the Senator ssbut it is more than
probable that the most OF that sum, possibly all OF
II, Is included in existing contracts The fact that
the money has not actually been paid Out-and
that Is all the statement ShOwS-dOeS not mean
that it is available for continuing improvements
now In progress or for new works. Such state
ments Invariably show large amount on hand.
Contracts made during the fiscal year will perhaps
consume that money"
