Oregon, is a single item of $50,000. Fhla sum Is to be applied to main lining the completed channels at Coos Jay and to operating the new dredge in the bar' channel. As It was not omilble at the time this estimate was repared and submitted to foresee ex ictly the respective needs of the bay ,hnnel and the bar channel, the estl- Date was purposely submitted in a limp sum, leaving the matter of allot ment to be decided at the time the Impropriation, if made, should actually t expended. i "J. It la noted that the amount of tie estimate is carried in the pending 1ver and harbor bill In the last Item n page 47. "3.
