BILL IS THREATENED.
House Dislikes Senate Amendments
to River Measure.
Washington, D. C.—The conference
committee on the river and harbor bill
is tightly deadlocked and after a
spirited row adjounred for a week.
Threats are being made by house
members that the whole bill will be
defeated unless the senate recedes on
some of its larger amendments.
One amendment which brought
about a serious disagreement was the
senate’s increase in the appropriation
for the Celilo canal from $600,000 to
$800,000.
The house conferees are insisting
that they will not stand for this in­
crease, but senate members of the
conference insist that this and all oth­
er increases are justified by the rec­
ommendations of the army engineers
and that no increases have been made
that were not recommended by the
War department.
In regard to the Celilo canal, the
engineers specifically said that if they
could have $800,000 this year and a
like amount of even $1,000,000 an­
nually thereafter, they could hasten
the completion of this project and
effect a substantial saving in cost. It
was on this report that the senate in­
creased its appropriation to the figure
named.
Senators on the conference commit­
tee declared that they will not recede
form their more important amend­
ments and the house members threat­
ened to defeat the entire bill rather
than permit it to pass with the senate
amendments attached
It is under­
stood that none of the other North­
western amendments is attacked by
the house, Celilo being the largest in­
crease made in that section.
