 Dear Sir--I have the honor to ac- knowledge the receipt of your favor of the 18th inst. enclosing a statement of the resolutions passed by the joint riv- CTS and harbors committees in Mobile. agree with your committee most thor oughly that the next appropriation of the Warrior and Bigbee streams should be for the completion of the lock at McGrew's shoals. We hope to secure an appropriation in the next river and harbor bill sufficient to complete the Tombigbee from Demopolis to Mobile, which includes two locks above Mo- Crews shoals. In event we should be unable to secure so large an appropria- tion. as 1t would require about s1,000,- 900. shall favor completion of locks at McGrew's shoals in any event, and have no doubt that MT. Taylor will agree with me in this view.
 Very respectfully.
