ONLY $754,OOO
FOR THE DELAWARE
Congressional River and
HarbOr Committee LOpS
Sl4O,OOOOlf the Estimate

BY Our Own Wire. Publishers Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The rivers
and harbors appropriation bill, now
complete. carries S75400O for complet-
ing the 35-foot channel in the Della
ware river.
Up to the present time the universal
demand of Philadelphia's commercial
organizations for a 35-foot channel has
been ignored. In the face of this fact
the bill carries an appropriation of
S4,250. 900 for a 35-foot channel for the
harbor Of Boston and Sl.500.000 for
harbor Improvements in Baltimore.
The bill is guarded with utmost care,
and Chairman Burton refuses to di-
vulge any feature of it. The above
statements, however, are given on un-
questionable authority.
The sum Of S754.0OO allowed for work
lnow under way in the Delaware is
$4,000 less than the War Depart
ment's estimate. The original esti-
mate of the total cost was $3.50 900
OF this amount s4.s0O.OOO has been APP
lpropriated by the government. while
Philadelphia and the State have added
$780, 600. with the sum of S754000 car
ried in this years bill. a total of So
100000 will have been made available
for the 30-foot channel. of s494, ,O0C
more than the estimated cost Of this
completed channel from the city to tn,
sea.
It will be argued in defense Of the
committee that the appropriation pro-
vides for the diversion of 100000 ex-
pended in the building of a dredge ana
! still allows a margin Of $4,000 against
errors in calculation.
In the meantime the engineers en-
gagged on the work have placed data in
the hands Of General Bingham which
IS believed to show the need Of at least
100000 in excess Of the amount now
named in the bill.
