Chairman Of River and Harbor
Committee Makes a Statement
on That Subject
PRICES OF MATERIAL TOO HIGH
HE SAYS. THE GOVERN
MENT ENGINEERS WILL BE OC-
cUPIED WITH WORK ALREADY
PROVIDED FOR, AND MANY PRO
JEcTs ARE NOT YET BEGUN.

Washington. Dec. 2l.-Chairman
Burton, Of the River and Harbor Com
mittee authorized the following state
ment yesterday:
There Will probably be no river and
harbor bill at the present session. One
strong argument against a bill is the
fact that the engineers forces will be
occupied during the coming year with
projects already provided for. In many
cases plans for improvements are not
even completed In others advertise
ments for bids have not been made
Another fact Of importance is the in
crease in the price Of material in the
last year. Some of the projects already
authorized cannot be completed for the
amounts estimated by the engineers. OF
course the demands upon the Treasury
and the amount of revenue are facts
to be taken into consideration al
though / do not mean to say by that
river and harbor improvements arc less
important than others. IL is only be-
cause. contrary TO usual custom, the
bill was passed during the last session
of the last Congress
81 recognize. however. that on many
accounts 70 is preferable chat the bill
be considered at this session. There is
so large an amount OF detail. and the
settlement OF disputed questions arising
from amendments of the Senate make
it desirable TO have plenty of time
This Is hardly possible during the
short session. Also. there are several
projects Of urgent Importance Among
them are the improvement OF The
Southwest Pass of the Mississippi the
deepening OF the Delaware river below
Philadelphia. and the providing
Of further facilities In the channels be-
tween Lakes Superior and Huron. The
continuing contracts on the Mississippi
river run out June 20, 1900. These arc
the arguments on both sides. but, as
Ihave said. there viii probably be no
river and harhor bin at this session.
