RIVERS CONGRESS-
TO CONVENE HERE:
Session Will Open on Decem-
Der 8 to Discuss Waterways
and Policies for Year.


The twenty-seventh annual conven
ton Of the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress will be held at the Willard
Hotel on December 8 and 8, thu call
having been issued by its national presi-
dent, Joseph E. Ransdell, former Sen
ator from Louisiana. che convention
VIII bring to Washington several thou
sand delegates, including Governors,
mayors and the executives Of numerous
agricultural, commercial, industrial and
waterway associations.
None Of the rs meeting the congress
has held has faced questions more GER
tain to provoke lively discussion than
those facing the present convention.
One OF the main questions Is whet,e.'
the convention should advocate anothe..
rivers and harbors bill at the coming
session OF Congress, the last bill, In 1890,
after an interval of three years, hav.
ing been the greatest in history. It
authorized an immediate expenditure of
$146, 100000 and Of approximately $780,
100000 ultimately. Due to the depres-
sion and the Treasury deficit, the ques-
lion OF another bill is Of utmost impor-
lance.
The opinion is widely held that i'm
portant changes are needed in the plan
adopted for flood control in the Missis-
s1ppi Valley, and 1t was announced that
hearings on these proposed changes will
be started when Congress convenes in
December. These proposals will be de-
bated at the Rivers and Harbors Con-
vention.
The convention also is expected to
take stand on the question agitated
by railroad executives for the complete
abandonment of inland waters for
transportation purposes and the stop
page Of all Government expenditures
thereon. This is a question which the
railroads will press before Congress, and
the river and harbor advocates are ex-
pected to make a determined stand
against 1t.

ganization, Is in charge Of arrangements
for the convention, with headquarters
