GENERAL GROSV ZEN OR
Sends Hearty Congratulations to the Peo-
pie of the Great Ohio Valley.

pie of the Great Ohio Valley.
Washington, D. c., April s. 1896.
Hon. John L. Vance. President Ohio
Valley improvement Association,
Gallipolis, Ohio:
My Dear Sir:-There is great cause
for congratulation on the part of the
millions interested in the traffic upon
the Ohio river by reason of the river
and harbor bill, which we passed on
Monday. That bill was passed under
a suspension of the rules and with only
forty minutes of debate.
The chairman of the committee, Hon.
w. B. Hooker, has shown himself a
most capable member of the House in
his intelligent and successful manage
ment of the bill. The Ohio Valley I'M
provement Association and yourself
conspicuOusly may we'll be congratu-
lated on the outcome of your efforts
thus far to secure adequate appropria-
tions for the great valley which you
represent No river of the world fur
nishes to commerce such a volume of
traffic as does the Ohio river and its
tributaries, and hence it is the high
duty of craftsmanship to see to it that
the natural advantages which God has
given to the Ohio valley shall be utilized
to the utmost extent possible
II is not in the amount of money i'm
mediately appropriated that they have
achieved victory. but it is in the fact
that after all these years of struggle
the system of contract Improvement has
been applied to the Ohio river An in
telligent plan of improvement will be
the result of the survey which is order
ed in this bill, and the letting by con-
tract of the work under the new plan
will save to the government not less
than thirty per cent. in actual cost, and
relieve the friends Of the improvement
from constantly worrying over the river
and harbor bill. The entering wedge
has been driven TO the head, and all that
follows will be triumphal progress to-
wards the completion of the work.
Yours truly,
q u CROSUENOR
