Chairman Burton Would Cut Out Appropriation For Columbia.
Chairman Burton, of the house rivers and harbors committee, has notified Senator Fulton that he would oppose the insertion in the sundry civil bill that is to be passed this Session of any appropriation for continuing improvement at the mouth of the Columbia river, or for continuing the construction of the Dalles-Cellilo canal, which has been begun with the present appropriations.
Burton, contrary to the belief of the department, holds that neither of these projects is recognized by congress as continuing contracts; therefore, he will oppose appropriations for them until the regular river and harbor bill is framed next session.
Senator Fulton says an effort will be made to attach appropriations for the Dalles improvement, and for the mouth of the river, when the sundry civil bill reaches the senate, in the hope that the items can be retained in conference, for he regards it as vitally important that more money should be made available, so that work can continue throughout the coming fiscal year on these two important projects.
