ASKS MILLIONS FOR WATERWAYS Recommendation Made That Uncle Sam Appropriate That Sum Annu- ally for Improvement Work—Taft’s Views Are Commended and an In- vierease in the Corps of Engineers Declared Necessary. Washington, Dec. 10.—With the adoption of resolutions clearly outlin- ing its attitude on the improvement of waterways and the re-election of Representative Joseph E. Ransdell of Louisiana as president and Captain' J. E. Ellison as seerefary freasurer, the National Rivers and Harbors congress brought to a close its seventh anpual congress, which has been character- ized from start to finish by eomplete harmony. ; o 4 The resolutions endorse the attitude of President Taft and urge the anmnual appropriation of $50,600.000 by con- gress for the improvement of water: ‘ways to be paid out of current reve- nues wherz possible, otherwise by the issuance anrd sale of bonds. It 'is declared, however, that the, gongress favors such bond issues only for permanent improvements and that fhe amount of any issue shall be lim- ited to the requirez’i:ieq:ta':) issue. It is urged also that the United, ‘States corps «of engineers be increaded sufficiently to adequately care for the ;projects upon which they will Te- quired to pass; and thdt the eTs of the interstate commerce commis sion be enlarged to give that body effectual authority to regular cm&‘:eb ing land and water carrters.. & The business session of thé congress | . followed an impromptu symposium on the work of the body, during which ‘Senator Lafayeite Young of Iowa and others spoke. All of the speakers were enthusiastic in their = remarks and avowed ‘themselves in hearty accord with the slogan of the congress, #‘a waterways policy, not a waterways project.” i Pingree Shoes make acceptable Christ- mas gifts.
