remember the days when men

although the Army Engineers
have been granted money by
Congress for a fish ladder in
this new dam. they say they have
no such appropriation. and have
baked at including a fish ladder
in their building plans. Senator
Butler Of Maryland and the In
terror Department say, that on

money. That the Engineers, who
in our lexicons are notorious for
Understanding the costs of all
their projects, appeared before a
congressional appropr a tion S
committee in 1858, asked for and
got an additional $4,000. They
gave as one of their reasons the
building of fish ladder for the
Little Falls diversion dam.
Senator Butler properly sub
mitted the matter to Controller
General Joseph Campbell for a
decision. We have just learned
that the Controller General has
ruled the appropriation is cor
rect but that the wording is per-
Missile to build the dam and
not mandatory. So the Engineers,
unless they come under some
pressure from Congress, may try
