Critic Answered
Chairman cf House Rivers and Har
bors Committee Says It Cannot
Be Successfully Attacked.
Washington. Jan. 18. Answering
a vicious attack on the Missouri river
Item in an editorial in the Washing
- ton Post, Representative Dempsey,
chairman of the house . rivers and
harbors committee Tuesday declared
that the Missouri river item cannot
be successfully attacked.
"The editorial urges that $12,
000.000 should not be authorized for
the upper Missouri river," Dempsey
said, addressing the editor of the
Post. "This Item was adopted on the
re;oinmendation of the engineer re
commending that the section between
Sioux City and Kansas City be sys
tematically imporved, securing a
channel six feet deep, at a cost of
$4 6,000,000; the division engineer
concurred in general but recommend
ed that the present Improvement be
limited to the section between Kan
sas City and Omaha, costing 323,000,
000 in which the board of engineers
for rivers and harbors concurred,
and the chief of engineers recom
mends an expenditure of ?6, 000, 000.
Congress, in view of the engineers
differing in opinion and various re
commending from $6,000,000 to $46.
000,000, struck a happy medium and
authorized the expenditure of about
one-quarter of the highest amount
recommended, $12,000,000.
"It surely Is not objection to the
project that, besides providing navi
gation, it will result in reclaiming
40,000 acres of land worth $1,200,
000, and increasing the value of oth
er low lands, $6,400,000; or that the
cost of maintenance of railroad lines,
highways and levees will be greatly
reduced, all of which benefits are
pointed out by the chief of engineers
as advantages resulting from the
adoption of the project. The engin
eers show, too, that the direct sav
ings of the improyement of the jiver
from Kansas City to Sioux City will
be $4,978,000 annually. !
"In the face -of these facts, the
Missouri river project cannot be sue
cessfully attacked. Nor 13 in an ob
jection to it to, say. that some-future
congress may at some uncertain time
appropriate more money for this proj
ect; it will- be completed as far as
the expenditure' now authorized will
go, and, if found to be highly use
ful as the engineers estimate, and the
facts make reasonably certain that It
will be, every one will favor the con
tinuance of the work."" -
