West feel that they have scored distinct triumph
in securing in the Senate the Insertion Of two sep
arate appropriations IN the River and Harbor bill.
The Senate Committee On Commerce recon-
mended the amendment 10 the River and Harbor
bill proposed by Senator Warren OF Wyoming
which appropriates t2l5.oO0 for the construction Of
the Plnoy system OF reservoirs In Wyoming accord
ing TO the surveys and plans OF the Chttenden
report. and also that which grants $4,000 for tho
survey of sites In each Of the arid and sem-arid
States and Territories The Senate adopted these
amendments after warm debate. in which the
whole subject was gone over and all the arguments
both for and against this policy fully pre-
sented.
The report of Colonel IL II. Chittenden. Of the
Engineer Corps on reservoir sites IN Wyoming and
Colorado under which this appropriation was
voted by the Senate 10 build the Pney system %
reservoirs In Wyoming was made under an ap-
prOprlatiOn in the last River ana HarbOr D.44, oo-
tained through tho efforts OF Senator Warren.
Colonel Chittendeu IN this report goes over N"
whole subject eXhaustively and concludes that a
OF the United States is absolutely essential 20 thei-
welfare and that II Us not possible to secure the
best development OF such "a system except through
the agency Of the General Government.
THE purpose Of such reservoirs Colonel Chit
tenden SAYS is simply 10 enlarge and reinforce
