or the measure, IN his opening state
| ment said he would not discuss tho
benefits 20 commerce and trade from
the appropriations contained In the bill,
| but would coniine himself at some
length to discussing some popular mis-
approximations with reference TO II. In
the first place. he said, the impression
existed that the bill carried something
over S6O,0OO,O00 for the ensuing year,
whereas II carried but S2i,OOO,0QO Of ac-
tual appropriations, the remaining $780,
100000 being simply authorized 10 be
appropriated under the contract sys-
tenn. There was also. he said, o mis-
taken idea that the pending measure
carried larger appropriations than any
previous bill.
In 1890. he said, the actual aproprla-
lions In the bill exceeded SIS. 900. 000 For
the current year the appropriations
contained In the sundry civil bin, 20
provide for continuing contracts au-
thorized IN river and harbor bills, 20
said, were $4,000 600, against SAL 900 900
for the two previous years. Mr.. Bur
ton said that the appropriations for riy-
er and harbor work instead Of increas-
Ing with other governmental expendi-
lures as was popularity supposed, we're
in reality decreasing.
Mr. Burton also denounced the popu-
lar Idea that unworthy projects for tho
Improvement OF bains and creeks alb
sorbed proportion of the apprOpria-
tons In the bill
The appropriations were not divided
M according 10 states and localities,
The great projects IN which the whole
country was interested absorbed $780,
10000 out OF the 100000 900 carried and
authorized by the bin.
Mr., Burton then entered into the de-
tails Of the bill.
