Representative Underwood of the Br

pleased over the appropriation which
will be carried in the rivers and harbors

THE appropriation, said Mr. Under

for Alabama. 1t only lacks 100000 of
bringing the work of Improvement to

by the time that IS expended it Is rea-
sonable to suppose that we will have
secured another appropriation to COM
plete the work. The people of jefferson
county will then have the river open to
the forks and the largest steamboat can
come up from Mobile

the Senate's taking the same view OF
the matter as the House. If the appro-

commerce committee, We will have at
