REPAIRS TO THE vIa1LANT.
Money Should Come From Appropria'
ticn for Harbor and River Front.

The controller of the treasury has written
long opinion as to repairs to the harbor
boat Vigilant, made necessary by damage
sustained in breaking the Ice in order TO
enter the tidal basin to recover the bodies
of several persons whozwere drowned there
in in January last, when number Of per-
sons skating upon the dee of the basin were
precipitated into the water by the breaking
of the ice. The controller says:
Il am of opinion that the general pro-
vision in the emergency appropriation supra
does not authorize the use of that appro.
lions arising from an ordinary increase OF
expenditures.
AS to the appropriation for clearing tha
Potomac of ice the controller says:
Il am OF opinion that it is applicable ia
any expense, not otherwise more specifically
PROVIDED Tor and not prohibited by law,
which is necessary for the removal of ice
from the Potomac river, within the limits
speclned But as indicated supra. the APP
preparation for harbor and river front has
been construed as providing for repairs of
the harbor boat, and has been used for
that purpose for many years, and Congress
has In several of said appropria tions made
speclnc provision for such repairs. l am,
therefore, OF opinion that it makes more
speclnc provision therefor than is made by
the appropriation for removing ice, and
that any repairs which have become neces-
Sary py reason of the employment of the
haroor boat on work provided for by said
appropriation are exclusively payable there
from"
The District Commissioners in their COM
munlcatlon to the controller said that the
appropriation for the river and harbor front
was wholly inadequate to pay for the re-
pairs without creating a deficiency which
1t was desired to avoid:

gun.

agency used for this purpose being the Mite

holding meetings the streets near the

not only for the workers of the mission but
for any person who takes an interest in
