North Carolin, Senator Says 1t Is
Most Comprehensive
Measure. /!
THE BILL CARRIES $4s,sso.eoo

The river and harbor appropriation

the most comprehensive measure for
mulated for the development OF the
waterways Of the United States that has
been reported out of the Senate Commit
tee on Commerce for years. said Sena-
tor F. M. Simmons. of North Carolina.
while the present river and harbor
bill may show IN increase over last
years bill to the extent Of probably
100000, the Senate bill has brought up
to date the recommendations of the En-
gineers of the army which were not
available when the House Committee on
RiYers and ,Harbors had the bill under
consideration. This necessarily follows,
for the House originates all bills appro-
priating revenues for the conduct of the
government.
The House BILL" continued Senator
Simmons, came to the Commerce Com
mittee Of the Senate carrying total In
cash Of $50 40s. 900. The Senate added In
cash appropriations. $4,000, making a
total of s43. $50, 0Oo Under contract au-
thorizations. the House provided $4,000. .ooO
in round numbers. and the Senate has
total in contract authorization in the
present bill of SO. $4,000.
while the Senate bill is upward Of
S53,000.0 900 as against the House bill
of S43,00o.0o0. making the Senate ap-
peaf as having raised the House up
ward of s10.0o0.0o0. the fact remains
that there are two continuing contracts
provided in the Senate bill aggregating
about $4,000. 900. which should not be
counted against the bill itself because
the amounts necessary for these con-
tinuing contracts will be taken care
of from year to year in the sundry civil
bill
To the lay mind. the amount of
money appropriated for the develop
ment Of the waterways and harbors
of the United States may seem large.
