"CUT OUT PORK"

Republican Leaders Assert
Reduced Millions Will
Be Enough.

The rivers and hsrbors bill for the
fiscal year. beginning July l. must be
absolutely ''porkless" and carry an
appropriation smaller by many mill
lions than any waterways develop
ment measure in recent years.
This is the demand gone from the
Republican leaders to the House
rivers and harbors committee, and
the bill is being framed to conform
with that program.
Members OF the Republican steering
committee yesterday admitted they
had ordered tine rivers and harbors es-
Inmates "cut to the bone and that no
new pojects be provided for. A limit
has been placed on the appropriation
to be recommended by the committee.
1t was learned that the probable
amount will be near s12JOo.0oO. This
is approximately 30 per cent less than
the smallest rivers and harbors- ap-
preparation during the war.
For the past several years. II is
said by Republican leaders. the aver
age aggresate sum expended in rivers
and harbors' work has been Sl5,ooo,0oO

unobligated, they add. upwards of
$40. 100000 of lprevious appropriations
made for this work. With the avail
able balance and the new appropria-
ton the army engineers will have all
the money they can use. and more.
according to the Republicans.
The surplus has accumulated. ii Is
explained, as a result of the engineers
inability to place contracts within the
limits fixed by Congress.
Col. Harris Taylor, of the Office of
the chief Of engineers. has been be-
fore the committee in executive ses-
sion for several days. The original
estima es submitted by the engineers
