Consideration of the measure has not yet reached such a stage as to indicate what will be the size of the bill, ot members of the committee iy will except that, from expressions m-flrli' approximate the necessities of provision for continuing contracts, aintenance and outlays for such public works as are of obvious and imperative importance in carrying forward the progressive policy adopt- od by Congress responsive to wide- gpread public opinion. Both the rivers and harbors com- mittee of the House and the com- pierce committee of the Senate gave hearings during the anti-holiday pe- | riod of the session, notably during the presence in Washington of mem- bers of the national rivers and har- bors congress. The work of the two ' committees has thus far been almost wholly given to these hearings, and | but few more hearings, at least by the House committee, will be had be- i fore the bill is reported to the House, "as it i planned shall be done early in the remaining days of the session, During the meeting of the Nation- the first delegations from al week in December, Waterways association ln.n organization were heard by the l\\n committees of Congress on nrob- lems affecting the larger nland wa- notably the Mississippi and Ohio rivers.
