SENA TOR PENROSE
FOR BETTER RIVER
Senate Leader Wants I'm
provements Made of the
Ohio in,Particular.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Aug. s.
Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania.
has come out as an advocate
the early completion of the i'm
provement OF the Ohio river. He
believes in the annual appropria-
ton for that river which it's friends
have long been working. In an in
terview here today. Senator PEN
rose, chairman Of the Senate COM
mittee on finance, said:
81 believe in a conservative treat
ment of our waterways. / am not
blind to the fact that certain inn
provements must be made in our
rivers looking always to their final
completion when their up-keep will
be the only charge upon the goy-
eminent. And in order to bring
this about we should have annual
river and harbor bills conservatively
made up to cover continuing the
contracts to the end that work be-
gun on our rives be completed with
in a reasonable time. The Ohio is
one OF these rivers which should be
pushed to compilation as rapidly as
good business Judgment warrants.
For had the Ohio river improve
ment been completed we would not
have witnessed steamer fitted out
for the purpose of carrying down
that waterway members of the riv-
ers and harbors committee of the
House and congressman whose dis
tricts front on that stream going
on numerous sandbars during the
journey from Pittsburg to Cairo. 1t
was an object lesson of the first inn
portance. for with pools along its
course it would be comparatively
easy to transport the Thousands of
tons Of coal and other bulky com
modites waiting for movement
along its course"
