The week In the House of Repre- sentativew has been taken up with a discussion of the River and Harbors bill, carrying appropriations of |3S,- 000,000. The only new project in the bill Is an item providing for the re¬ moval of cerlain dtingerous reefs in New York harbor, work that should have been undertaken years ago.
While there are some very meri¬ torious undertakings porvided for in the report of the committee. I feel that there are many items which are not worthy and which will. If they are not stricken out, be a waste of government funds.
To my mind, in addition to tlie im¬ provement of the great harbors whose growing commerce demands increased facilities, I feel that the development of canals along our .sea¬ board Is of prime importance. Here is where commerce already exists. It does not have lo be developed. Here is where it originates and Jiere is where the products of farm and fac¬ tory are distributed. To open up a great highway along our seaboard , , ^ , . „ ^ would be of utmost value and im- sidetracking Senator portance and I hope that the State of New Vork will show its faith in the South Side Waterways by appropriat¬ ing its share of the amount necessary to construct it.
While our weather has been pleas¬ ant during the week, on Saturday a howling snow etorm set in. Cordially, FRED8RICK C. HICKS.
