Consideration of the $39,000,000 rivers and harbors authorization blil was the order of business in the House 'today under an agreement limiting geno-al debate to two hours. Friends of the measure, hopeful of epeeding its coarse, ponted out that the amount conformed with the wishes of sdministration leaders, who sev- eral weeks ago informed the House rivers and harbors committee that approximately $13,000,000 must be pared from the $52,000,000 bill report- ed last year to comply with President Cooldige’s program of economy. The bill provides that no part of the amount recommended shall be EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, TOTAL RESOURCES OVER THIRTY-FIVE MILLION authorized for ekpenditure until after the flscal yeaf ending June 30, 1926, and not more ‘than $10,000,000 shall be appropriated for any succeeding fiscal year for the proposed projects. Charges by some opponents that the bill, which would authorize new projects in .virtually all sections of the country, is a revival of the “pork barrel” practice, have met vigorous denial by Representative Dempsey of New York, chairman of the commit- tee, who asserts the proposed appro- priations are without exception for worthy projects. The blll as it stands contains a pro- vision for purchase of part of the in- land waterway from Norfolk to Beaufort in conection with the exist- ing’ Lake Drummond canal, For this purpose the Government would pro- vide $375,000 and . local Interests, $125,000.
