Mr.. Cannon-Now, I will ask my
friend whether that $25O,OOO that was
appropriated in 1896 has been expend-
ed?
Mr.. De Vries-It has not.
Mr.. Cannon-It is still unexpended?
Now, why is it unexpended?
Mr. De Vries-Because they have
been proceeding with the investigation
of dam sites and the adoption of proper
plans, and it is expected that proper
plans Will be submitted within few
weeks; we earnestly hope within a few
days.
Mr.. Barham-Plans and specifications
have not been submitted yet. That is
the reason.
Mr.. De Vries-They have not been
submitted yet.
Mr. Smith of AriZona-Because 1t
makes a difference whether the plans
are to made on the basis of an expendi-
ture of $5O0,O0O or of $250,OOO?
Mr.. De Vries-Yes, possibly though
that is not the reason they have not as
yet been submitted.
Mr.. CannOn-IS there anything to
prevent the State of California, If it
wants to, from using its $25O,OOO that
the gentleman says is in the treasury
for the Improvement of these rivers?
Mr.. De Vries-Why, certainly there
is.
Mr.. CannOn-What?
Mr.. De Vries-It is a matter over
sumed control. This appropriation by
Congress is based upon its necessity for
the improvement of the Sacramento, a
tool 10 vi nd
river and harbor Jurisdiction.
Mr.. Barham-And has taken control.
Mr.. De Vries-And over which it has
already assumed control: that is Con-
gress has assumed control of the sub
ject matter as one of Federal jurisdic-
ton, which the gentleman knows eX-
Guided the State thereafter.
Mr.. Cannon-This is not a contract
work, as 1 see, in the Act of 1896. No
contracts We're authorized. 1t is not
under the contract system.
Mr.. De Vries-No; it is not under the
contract system.
Mr.. Cannon-The gentleman says that
the State of California promised to pay
one-half Of the cost of making these
improvements. Where is the evidence
of that promise?
NIL Lie NIiSS-NlI, Wei, lllC All cA liiC
Legislature Of California in making the
appropriation Is the most substantial
evidence of that promise, and is a rati-
fcation of all promises made by these
gentlemen; and, therefore, concludes all
inquiry on that subject.
Mr. Cannon-Well, now, if we make
this appropriation Of $25O,OOO in this
bill
