most favorable recommendations in

man. chief Of engineers. which was
made public yesterday. He estimates
that 81 100000 can be expended pro-
fitably during the fiscal year 1916 IN
keeping the channel to 35 feet. In adj
dition TO this sum, contract author.-
zation to the amount Of S1.000,00O

work.
The report of General Kingman,
among other things, has this to say o.
the Delaware River project;
"The total amount expended on ali
