WATERWAYS BILL ATTACKED
Senator Burton Sees Glaring Defect
in Measure.
Ohio Scion Crlticises Dribbling Pol
Icy of Making Partial Appropris-
lions for improvements.

Senator Burton. Of Ohio. yesterday filed
a minority report on the river and harbor
appropriation bill, in which he makes
vigorous attack on the measure as passed
by the House and amended by the Senate
committee
Provisions in the pending river and
harbor bills" says Senator Burton, show
the necessity for radical reform in meth
DDS and for more careful consideration
in the selection OF projects.
''The most glaring defect in methods, as
exemplihed in the bill. is the 'dribbling'
policy Of making partial appropriations
for multitude OF Improvements without
provision for completion.
"A more rational system would make
it desirable that instead OF some $50
projects. the number included in this
measure, a much smaller number should
be provided for. and no other appropria-
tons be made except for the maintenance
Of improvements already completed"
Senator Burton summarizes his objec-
tons 10 the bill as follows:
IT am prompted 20 file this minority
report because. in my judgment, substan-
tial reforms should be accomplished in
our river and harbor legislation This Is
impossible without correcting certain
abuses which are manifest in the pend
ing bin"
Z Senator Burton specifies the items and
classes Of items in the bill which IN his
Judgment should not be included. as fol-
lows:
First-Those projects which have been
examined and rejected by the board Of
engineers as unworthy Of adoption. or
those in which the methods recommended
for prosecuting the work have been dis
regarded.
neutrality-suspicious. for rivers and
inland waterways. the proposed develop
ment Of which under present conditions
will not be profitable.
Senator Burton objects particularly to
the appropriation Of 100000 for the
Lakes-to-the-Gulf waterway. declaring
that mot only is this proposed appropri-
alton I'm direct violation OF an unfavor-
able report. but q survey is now pending
with a view to the feasibility OF an eight
foot waterway instead OF fourteen feet.
the depth asked
Referring 10 the "dribbling policy OF
making appropriations for river and har-
Dor works. Senator Burton says: such
a plan OF procedure as that displayed
In this bill would be considered alto
gether wasteful and injudicious in private
enterprise, and. so far ar the policies in
I European countries have been examined.
improvements have not been adopted IN
| III completion is assured
It is generally agreed that II the pend
| ing bill were changed to conform 10 Sen
ator Burton's ideas. there would be nc
/ prospect OF its passing at the presen,
! session Of Congress.

lation then addressed the committee,

exterminate the liquor business OF the

was a single licensed establishment IN
the District that was not within l,OD
feet OF a school. church, or park.
II disclosed that probably not single
saloon could escape the Limitation. Mr.
Harvey said that upon this showing ne
believed ii could not be doubted that the
bill was really a prohibitive measure.
Simon wo.f, in behalf of affiliated Ger
man societies of Washington. opposed the
bill. He declared that the present law
was efficient except in minor details. H'
thought the passage OF the measure
would mean the confscatlon OF property
