ind it is believed sumcient support
will be obtained from the deegotions
of states having waterways to put it
through.
The army engineers carefully
itemized the various projects and the
amount needed for them next year,
mounting to about $56 000. 000. The
budget director discarded the item—
ized estimate arid recommended ap-
.‘proprialon of a. lump sum or only
1:1 000 000.
Fearing a revolt by the "rivers and
harbdrs bloc." the House Appropri-
ations committee increased it to $37. -
000. 000 and so reported it to the
house. It the cut in the appropri-
atoln is upheld it will be necessary
for the engineers to reduce the estim-
ated work for next year on numer-
ous worthy projects in Connecticut
and other states and enti‘rely abandon
’worir on many others.
