FOR MPROY EhENTOF RIVERS
CONGRESS WILL BE ASKED FOR
500, 900 FOR HIGH DAM. II
Request tor Improvement Of the st.
croix River 10 Filed With
the House COMMITTEES.

Washington, p. C.-Representative
Stevens has just concluded q number
Of conferences with members of the
house committee on rivers and har-
bors, concerning q number Of projects
among which were the st. Croix and
Minnesota river and the continuation
Of the work on the high dam in the
Mississippi, and he believes the
chances for securing appropriations
for these projects ARE good. =.
Mr.. Stevens, together with Mr.. Nye,
will soon ask congress to appropriate
100000 to continue work on the high
dam, and both congressman believe
the dam will be completed within the
next few years. The disposition Of pow.
er generated from dams erected in
federal streams will not be touched
upon in the general river and harbo1
bill, but will be left for special legisla-
ton. Representative Stevens will en-.
deavor to obtain concession recognize
ing the existence of the corporation
authorized by the Minnesota state
legislature to dispose Of the power.
Mr.. Stevens has fled with tho house
committee memorandum from the
citizens of the st. Croix valley and the
city authorities of saltwater, headed
by Mayor Brennan, asking for = sur.
vey with a view to the general i'm.
proyement Of the St. Croix in Mime.
sofa and Wisconsin.
The st. Croix Valley Improvement
association Is pushing this project
with view to the special considera.
ton of two subjects. They want to
rid the river of logs which are prov.
ing an obstacle to navigation, and they
desire that q plan shall be evolved.
whereby the communities along the
river may cooperate with the federal
government in improving levees and
harb0rs.
Representative Stevens has received
assurance that survey of the st.
Crotx, with a view to improvements,
will be authorized in the river and
harbor bill soon to be reported.
Another project to which Mr.. Stew
ems has directed the attention of the
house committee is the Improvement
OF the Minnesota river as far as Nor
ton. Army engineers estimate that
this project would cost $1,700, 900. They
have reported that the object sought
would not justify such 4 large ex-
penditure. The officers of the Mime
sofa River improvement association
have given assurances that the land
owners along the stream are willing to
make contributions at the rate of IS
an acre.
Such contributions in the aggregate
would amount to about $250,000 for
the completion of the reservoir at Gull
Lake. An appropriation of $4,000 will
be sought.
