BONDS FOR
COASTAL CANAL


Because he nov believes that the
intra-coastal canal cannot be COM
pleted within a reasonable time en-
the pay-as-you-go basis, Roy Mil
Ter Of Corpus Christi, active vice
president Of the Intra-C Coastal
Canal Assn OF Louisiana and Tex
as, has made an about face and
Is advocating a bond issue for fl
nancing the project.
He has written Congressman y.
j. Mansfield OF Texas, ranking
democratic member OF the house
rivers and harbors committee to
this effect. Such q plan. which
has been proposed by Congress-
man Mansfield and Senator Ship
stead. Is expected To come before
the next session OF Congress.
He expressed the fear that the
500. 100000 a year which has been
obtained for waterways c~onstruc-
ton and maintenance, may be cut
TO about sac. 600. 900 annually as a
result Of the administrations eco
nomy program.
About half or this would be re-
quired for maintenance leaving
half for construction. Miller be-
lieyes that 1t would require Is
years to finish the project under
such condition without taking into
consideration additional projects
which may be authorized from
time to time.
He thinks that the. inland wat
erways projects should be complet-
ed within five years and that they
would increase the value Of Mis-
sissippi valley products alone by
$3.50. 000, 900 a year.
The administration has been
against the bond proposal and
Mr.. Miller thinks that waterways
organizations in the past have OPP
posed the plan also in order TO be
in harmony with the administra-
ton.
