sl,5O0,lOO IS CUT
ON DELAWARE RIVER
Wilmington Harbor Appro-
priation, However, In
creased to sos, 900
u. S. ENGINEER
URGED The MOVE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2s.--Upon recon-
mendation Of the United states Army
engineers, the Federal appropriation
/ for the Delaware River for the next
1 fiscal year was cut from S2,5DOOO 70
81 100000 yesterday by the Senate Com
merce Committee.
The measure had passed the House OF
Representatives, with the provision for
S2,5OO,OOO for the Delaware River con-
/ tanned In the measure. The Senate COM
mittee reported the amended bill to the
Senate today, accompanied by a report
/ In which Major General w. NJ. Black,
chief OF engineers, u. S. A, declared
that there is now an unexpended bal
ance Of S4,ii0,7sS3S for the Delaware.
and that cit is believed that Si,0o000O
will be a sufficient amount to be car
ried in the pending bill"
The appropriations for the Camden
harbor were left at S7i ,0S0 making the
total appropriation recommended for
the Delaware at si,07i, ,0S0 instead Of
s2,57i ,0sO, as voted for by the House.
The Senate committee left the ap-
preparation for the Schuylkill River
and the other appropriations for i'm
provements and maintenance Of hsr-
bors and waterways in and near Phila-
delphia the same as that provided for
In the House bill, with the exception
Of the appropriation for the mainten-
ance OF the harbOr at Wilmington. Del,
where the Senate committee recon-
mended an Increase from $4,000 to
S65,OOO.
The committee also retained In the
bill the provision appropriating S30OO,-
600 for the purchase of the Delaware
and Chesapeake Canal. The reasons for
the cut In the appropriation for the
Delaware River are contained in a let
ter from General Black 10 the commit
tee. which was published in the COM
mittees report. The letter follows:
Hon. Duncan u. Fletcher, Chairman
Committee on Commerce United
states Senate:
My Dear Senator: have the honor 10
recommend that the item carried in the
pending river and harbOr bill appropri-
ating S2,500000 for Delaware River,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Della
ware, continuing improvement, and for
maintenance from Allegheny avenue,
Philadelphia, to the sea-" be so amend
ed as to appropriate Sl,OOO,OOO only.
AZ the time the estimates were orig
inally submitted careful consideration
was given TO the amount required for
the improvement and maintenance OF
the Delaware River below Philadelphia
on account OF the very great import
ance Of this work. AZ that time the
conclusion was arrived at that an ap-
preparation OF $4,000 in addition to
the amounts then available, would be
sufficient for this improvement for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1920, and the
amount OF 100000 was accordingly in
cluded in the original estimates sub
mitted to Congress.
While these estimates were under
consideration by the Rivers and Har-
bOrs Committee Of the House a letter
was received from the district engineer
recommending that the amount be in
creased TO S2,5O0OO0. Based upon the in
formation therein given, the recon-
mendatlon was made to the Rivers and
Harbors Committee that the amount 10

low Philadelphia be raised 10 s2.500.-

Subsequent study of the data now
available indicates that the amount Of

vantageously expended in the next year
and half, and, taking all things into
consideration, 10 is believed that 81 ,O0O,-
600 will be a sufficient amount to be-
carried in the pending bill.
There was an unexpended balance
available for this Improvement on jan
uary 4, 1919. Of s4,ii0.7ss.3s. OF which
amount si,3ii ,s2s was covered bv out

tracts, leaving an unobligated balance

In force, one for dredging is In process
Of adjustment under the provisions Of
Section OF the river and harbor act OF
July IS, 1918, and this adjustment will
involve the cancellation Of this con-
tract.
This will release a portion Of the
funds now obligated and increase by
that amount the unobligated balance.
One million dollars, therefore. added TO
the funds available, will give for ex-
penditure prior to June 90 1920. ap-
proximately s5,Oo0,O0O (of which $1,000
900 is obligated or under contract), an
amount which will permit a rate Of
