This year he has been ably assisted by

which far eXcels anything that has rep

far less confidence than they usually have

Washington, Dec. Words that
rang true to the cause of waterway
Improvement, coming from speakers
representing every section Of the Unit

rivers and harbors congress today.
That there was no reason for delay in

to be considered was a project for

policy of creating a bond issue suffi-
cient to complete a comprehensive

that. once begun, there would be no
danger of having the work stopped
for lack of available funds.
