WASHINGTON, March 21.-After almost
continuous sessions for more than two
months the house committee on rivers and
harbors to day completed consideration of
the regular river and harbor appropriation
bill and it will be reported to the house in
day or two. The bill appropriates $780,
700, 900, or nearly "a, 600, 900 less than the
amout of the bill which became law in
last congress. The greatest feature is the
extent to which the committee enlarges the
policy adopted in the last congress of plac-
ing some of the most important projects un-
der the contract system, by means of which
work can be undertaken with the amount
appropriated for the year covered by the
bill and contracts entered into for the
completion of the work. Appearance is
thus given of the continuance of the work
without serious interruption. The con-
tract has been found to be more economi-
cal than the driblet system. In the last
more harbors and the 500 canal and Hay
Lake channel projects were authorized to
be contracted for to completion. General
Poe, in charge of the two latter works,
reported that by this system the COST of
these two projects would be 81 200, 900
less than would otherwise be the case.
This year the committee authorizes ad-
ditional contracts to be entered into, aggre-
eating $32, ISL, 700, distributed as follows:
