F[OODP[ANC COST
SEEN PAID BY i. S.
Valley Communities Will Not
Share Expense, Senator
Stephens Believes.


Opinion was expressed yesterday aft
ernoon by Senator Stephens. Democrat,
Mississippi. that the entire cost Of
Mississippi food control. as provided In
the Jones bill, will be borne by the
Government and that the communities
affected will not have TO pay q share.
The States and cities, he said, would
have 10 pay only for providing neces-
sary rights OF way and their portion
Of the agreed cost of bringing the iepees
up 10 the 1914 standard. Senator
Stephens declared the commission
whose creation Is recommended In the
Jones bill would be concerned only
with .he engineering phase of the project
and would have nothing 10 do with the
financial side Of II.
The Jones bill Incorporates the engi-
neering features OF the plan Of Maj.
Gen .Jadwin, chief Of Army engineers.
and the commission would study that
plan and another put forth by the Mis-
giSsippi River Commission, and select
one or the other or combination Of
both.
THE commission approved by the
committee will look only into the qtieS-
ton of engineering" Senator stephens
said. 1T would be empowered. II APP
proved by the Senate, 10 recommend tn
Congress any changes in engineering
features of food control recommended
IN the report as furnished by the Mis-
sissippi River Commission and not IN
cluded in the administration report AZ
submitted by Mai. Gen. Jadyin.
'"fhe commission would not have
anything u do with the economic phase
VI the question The committee feels
that The question of local contribution
Is sound, but Is of the opinion that
money already expended by States oi
the Mississippi Valley affected by food
waters is sufficient. and that these
