Senator Penrose Prepared No
Amendment to the River
and Harbor Bill

Washington. d. c., April 19.-The River
and IIarbor bill was reported by the Sem
ate Committee yesterday without tine
Delaware river amendment.
The claim made by the friends Of Sena-
tor Penrose that he had prepared and al
ready had before the committee an
amendment which he would urge at the
meeting yesterday was based on state
ment by Colonel Andrews, the Senator
secretary.
AS a matter Of fact, there was no truth
In this statement. There was no amend.
ment, and none was before the committe,
for consideration. and Senator Penros,
paid no attention to the matter. He de.
clinel TO be interviewed on the subjecf
during the day, and it was said, refuset
to accept the way out Of the difficulty
suggested by Colonel Andrews, who wish
ed that the amendment should have 81,
day in court.
The Senator did not believe that ther,
was a ghost Of a chance for the amend
ment TO pass the House, and he declined
TO ride for fail. His neg,eot Of tn,
matter In the hrst instance IS not TO b,
attributed 10 this conviction, however. bu

To the Board Of Water Commissioners,
Gentlemen: Believing that the plan
will be adopted as outlined in my re-

more detail. in order to form a basis
for an approximate estimate OF the
cost, and also TO place the whole sub

more intelligently as 10 its practicable
ity.
The construction Of a new dam
above Rockland is not an essential, for
II satisfactory arrangements can be
made with the owners OF the Rock
land water power, the intake crib could
be placed to take the water from the
present dam. II would, however, give
the city more perfect control OF the
situation either TO build new dam
further up. or 10 purchase outright al
the power from the present dam. and
looking to possible future conditions
any expenditure Of moneys on either
Of these propositions would be fully
justified.
Viewing Il in this light. I have as.
sumed that one or the other OF th'
above propositions viii eventually bl
