of new projects which were blocked
when the $4,000 900 bill was headed off
and a s20,00O.0c0 lump sum bill passed
instead are already getting busy in
preparation for next session. The
hort session of congress is only two
months iway and there is a good deal
of preliminary vori; 10 be done in
paving ihc way for the new measure.
Just how big bill will emanate
from the house rivers and harbors
committee and Mil pass the house and
be sent to the senate is uncertain But
there is every indication it will be a
liberal one. The clamor for appropri-
q tions is a ioud as ever the shadow
Of the European war to he contrary
Notwithstanding. Those who are fol-
lowing the situation most carefully
say the slices OF pork to be dis
pensed will be as large and lavish as
