 yOn.
 Mir fitzgerald I decline to yield
 for that purpose.
 MT Madden. Then nobody knows
 ,hat the proper proportion of the
 eovernment contribution towards this
 mproyement would be?
 MT. Fitzgerald. think the total
 ,,oeeeds of the sale of lots amounted
 .o sS2. LOGO, and that was permanently
 snpropriated for the operation and
 maintenance of the bathhouses.
 Mir Madden. So as a matter of 4hc. there is not anybody connected
 ylth this case who can tell what the
 uroportion of the city of Hot Springs
 should be and whether there should
 bs any proportion levied against the Federal Government at all? Mir. Fitzgerald l have not been sble to obtain that information in the eramination l have made of the ques. ton

 Mir. Fitzgerald. I will yield two minutes to the gentleman from Ar |ssHsas ( !
 Mir. Wsngo. Now, Mir. Speaker, in answer to the question Of the gentle Mal from Illinois CMr. Madden) l saBt to state that the reservation of he Government now comprises 100 icres. The greater part of the city d Hot Springs Is not now. nor was ' ever. on what is known now as the Government reservation. The gen lleman from New York speaks about he conditions that existed 30 years go. Those conditions may have ex- sted then. but do not exist now. At hat time it was a struggling village d few thousand people, While to- lay it Is a city of 10000 or 30,000 people, and each year 1G5,000 poor people visit there to take advantage Of these wonderful curative waters. This is not q proposition to build a gewer system for the city of Hot Springs. and any man who knows the facts or who will take the public document that the gentleman from Arkansas 0Mr. Taylor9 had in his hand a moment ago and study it, and study the map there, will see that this is a proposition to provide a storm sewer for the Government res eFyation and not for the city of Hot Springs.
 Mir. Taylor of Arkansas. Will the gentleman yield to me for a second?
 Mr. Wingo. For just second.
 Alr. Taylor of Arkansas. desire 10 state to the House that there used to be a creek down this valley. Will the gentleman refer to that
 Mir, Wingo The culvert that the gentleman from New York (Mr, Payae) referred to was the one the Government built along the stream. the narrow gorge that lies between the two Government properties, to take care of a creek that ran through there, and not to take care of the sewage. The greater part of Hot Springs has been built up since the sentleman from New York was there. The greater part of the residences Of the city lie down to the south and 
 west of the reservation, and that part has it's own sewerage system
 This proposition is that the Govern
 ment shall build this sewer to take care of the waters that come from the Hot Springs Reservation. on Gov ernment property. The gentleman says there is no sewage that comes rom the Government property. The Government has an Army and Navy hospital, and the boys from the Army and Navy Hospital are taker care of at the Government buildings On the side of the East Mountain uriyes have been laid out. and tho curb and surface drains have caused sne water to shoot down with grea iOfce into the street in the marrow surge, on one side of which is entire government property and on th'
