Senator Ransdell Points Out Sums

During 1915.

Declaring that the friends OF water
ways in this country have no reason
for encouragement in the present sit
uation, Senator Ransdell of Louisiana
president of the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress- in a statement given
out today, said:
The rivers and harbors bill which
has just been enacted is a very much
more comprehensive measure than is
generally understood. In the first place,
it provides direct lump sum appro-
priation of s25.ooo,0OO. to be expended
under the direction of the Secretary of
War and the supervision of the chief
of engineers. in order to maintain ex-
istinS river and harbor projects in
condition to give best service and for
prosecuting improvements thereon
1t has not always been possible to
eNpend the funds provided for river
and harbor work within the year that
they are appropriated, so that there are
always standing to the credit of Ger
tam projects sums of money which are
not Immediately needed. so. in the sec
ond place, the bill authorizes the Sec
retary of War. upon the recommended
tion of the chief of engineers. to trans
fer such funds toother projects for
which money is Immediately needed, up
TO total o fs5,00O,O0O.

addition, the bill authorizes the begin
ming of work on a number of projects
which have been held in allegiance until
the conditions attached to the appro-
prlatlonS made for them have been
complied with. The amounts thus
authorized are upward of s1.O0O.0OO, so
that we have total of between $35.-
100000 and s36.000.000 which will be
available for river and harbor work
during the coming fiscal year.
WI hen we consider present financial
conditions and the shortage of money

Saws Government Is Powerless.

Secretary Redfeld said:
The situation outlined by GOV
Gen. Harrison is. l am sure. not exag-
gerated but. to speak. frankly. We are
helpless so long as no power exists
under the law to utilize the three naval
Golfers now on the way to the islands
to carry goods on their return trip.
So long as there is no law giving us
any power over any shipping, the gov
ernment is powerless in the matter.
private and corporate interests are
in control of the situation and We can
do nothing One suggestion only oc-
ours to me and that is whether the
two large ships which are sometimes
used by the Penama steamship line
but which l think are not Always IN
service are SO placed that they can be
sent to the Philippines. Even here |
doubt if there is authority of law. but
it is the only thing of which know.

Plan Of PAVING
FOR LUSITANIA

In consideration of the fact that the
territory Is assuming the larger part
OF the cost of improvements on Lu.
sitana street and following a, request
from Charles r. Forbes of the public
works department that change in
specifications for the street be made,
the board of supervisors voted last
night to rescind the old Lusitana i'm.
provement ordinance. gs
Following the vote, new resolu-
ticn. in accordance with plans of the
public works department, was intro
duceds and past Under it the territory
assumes 50 per cent of the cost and
the remaining cost. is divided about
equally between property owners and
the city and county. OF the cost of
actual work the city and county is sup
posed to pay but 10 per cent but with
the purchase.,ef land to widen the
street, this. expenditure will be In
creased. 80
The main change in the specifica-
lions is from Warrenite to bitulithic,
it being maintained that the latter
paving Will serve the same purpose as
the former at considerably less cost
to the citizens of Lusitana street,
most of whom, are of limited means.
