RIVER AND HARBoR BILL

Appropriations Secured for Projects
 in Connectlcut-Ou Outline of the Work
 That Will be Done.
 Washington, Jan 3O.-The long de- layed river and harbor bill has finally been printed, and is being carefully studied by every member who has an interest in it. The Connecticut mem bers are very we'll pleased with what they secured for the state. They did not get quite all they asked for, but no one did that, and the committee had to use the pairing knife more or less all along the line. Mir Hill se- cured all that was recommended by the engineers for Bridgeport harbor, and practically all that he asked for for the other harbors in his district. MT Higgins also fared well. Nothing could be secured for New London har- bor, as the government engineers, in the report submitted this session, dis tir ctly reported that the commerce of the harbor did not warrant a depth of thirty feet. This was based on the survey of last summer, and the navy department also declared that no ad- ditional depth was needed for them thus disposing of the project
 MT. sperry secured substantial appropriation for the New Haven breakwater. He was disappointed in not securing an appropriation for Quinnipiac river which he urged strongly before the committee, but MT. Burton has ruled on various occa- sions that this project had been com pleted, and nothing could be approprl- ated at this time without further survey. The committee agreed with MT. Burton and no appropriation was put in for this river. The project for a harbor of refuge at Duck Island was also cut off, because the commit tee did not think this was of benefit to general commerce. Senator Bulk ley expects to propose an amendment to the bill when it comes to the sen- ate, giving an appropriation to Duck Island.
 The full text of the projects for Connecticut is as follows:
 Improving Pawcatuek river, Rhode Island and Connecticut, continuing improvement and for maintenance, $32, 900.
 Improving harbor at Branford, com pleting Improvement and for mainte- nance, $5,0OO; and the secretary of war is authorized, in his discretion, to remove the rocks at the outer end of the channel leading to the harbor.
 Improving harbor at New Haven, continuing improvement, $1OO,OOO; pro vided that the secretary of war may enter into contract or contracts for such materials and work as may be necessary to prosecute said project, to be paid for an appropriations may from time to time be made by law, not to exceed in the aggregate $780, GOO in addition to the amounts herein and heretofore appropriated.
