WASHINGTON, December 3.-work
OF framing a rivers and harbors bill
for the coming session OF Congress was
begun to-day by tho Rivers and Har-
bors Committee. with estimates before
1t from the War Department. asking for
appropriations aggregating nearly $780,
100000 for waterway improvements.
These estimates do not contemplate
any new projects.
The plan to eliminate all now pro-
5ccts from the proposed bill and to cut
the amount down to minimum will,
II Is expected. precipitate vigorous
hight In the committee as we'll as later
In both houses. Some committee mem
bers to-day predicted that when the
measure finally les reported to the House
II probably will not carry appropria-
tions to exceed S30,ooo.O00 or $4,000
600.
The biggest project contemplated is
the Improvement OF the Mississippi!
River. --.-t u
The Mississippi River Commission
recommended that s12.O0O,ooo be appro-
priated for improving the Mississippi
River from the head Of the passes to
Cape Girardeau or Rock Island, but
this was cut in half by the army en-
Sineers In their recommendations to
Congress. a still further cut OF ST.
100000 or 80 Is possible In the commit
tee. This appropriation would cover,
according to the pending plans, $3,-
100000 for construction of 1evees up
to Girardeau or Rock Island; $500. 900
or $4,000 for dredging and admins
trative expenses. and the remainder
for revetment OF the river banks to
prevent caving in. 1t is likely that
