mon that while the committee fro
uuently appropriated money for small
CT amounts than recomme ended by the
army engineers, II never appropriated
lnrger amounts This being the case.
Mr.. Sparkman said, what the business
interests of Richmond should do Is
to ask for new survey. and If the
new survey indicates that more than
$4,000 can DO used, then tho com
mitteo might very properly consider
tho question OF an increased appropr:-
alton. Until this is done, Mr. Spark
man further said. the committee would
put itself In a very embarrassing po-
sition by voting n larger amount OF
money than the War Department esti-
mates called for at the present time.
Another strong point brought out by
MT. Dunlop was the fact that Up to
the present time tho city of Richmond
has raised about a per cent of the
appropriations for the James River,
the government having expended Il
little over one-half of the total amount.
Mr. Montague and those who spoke
In behalf of the general DEVELOPMENT
plan. said they wanted to get the mat
ter squarely before the committee. sc
that hereafter Richmond, by reason OF
the development of the river. might be
put on an equal footing with other
cities OF the country.
1t is quite probable that az the re-
suit of to-day's meeting the committee.
when 1t reports it's bill this year, Will
provide for new survey. and upon tn
result Of that survey will depend fu-
ture appropriations.
1t was also developed that Mt the
present rate OF progress. II will take
thirty-nine and a half years to com
plete the present plan OF work
After the meeting AIr. Montague told
The Times Dispatch correspondent that
all that would be asked for at this
time YVES the War Department estimate
OF $4,000. with the privilege of ask
ing for new survey, should this be
deemed advisable later on.

the last appropriation OF $4,000 was
totally inadequate to meet the sltua-

and the foreign market places il "a

all over the world according 10 eX-

larger market for Porto Rlcan coffee in
this country. The cost OF changing
the acquired taste Of the American
seems too great 10 justify the attempt
SO long as such excellent prices are
obtained elsewhere FOR the product.
Past Year Set New Record.
During the past year says the newly

great deal more than they ever have
'lAl'' All' -Nll'i ~ an 20 lb44s l''lN
cultivation and higher prices have en-

their seed for planting. The depart

Yielding better than native coffee and
giving higher percentage of large
and uniform grains. The coffee is
grown for distribution to planters ON
the island and has been resulting in
greater yields as well as in better pric-
es for the planters.
Biggest Portion to Foreigners.
OF the coffee exported during the
past year, $S,&7S.346 worth went to
foreign countries, while only Sl32,91O
worth went to the United States. Al
though today there exists a benefit Of
