March '-iWMm: TON BUREAU OJ" THE JObRNAL.) The flood control bill, passed by the senate and sent to the president after Its advocates had almost given up hope of action, is usually referred to as an appropriation of $50,000,000. 5 This is not an accurate descrip tion, for the total xpenditure of fed eral funds under this measure can not bo more than $3M00.0OO, and this sum is not appropriated "off the bat, but is spread, over a series of four or five years.' Nor la the greater part of this sum to be regarded as an unusual or ex tra expenditure, as it has frequently appeared in press dispatches. Appropriations Are Annual. - In the rivers and harbors bill each year the government has been annu ally appropriating for levee- and revet mn! work alonit the Mississippi river, "and future congresses, if they are true to the plan outlined, can largely de iuii thfl Hums annually set aside for tttat river for flood control. The Important thing done by this Ttiiii is to Introduce into Mississippi rivor Imnrovementa the ' principle of continuing contracts.

For every two dollars sup plied by the federal government the states concerned will contribute one. ine lOiai lumunwuva tur-iuo jub- lsslppi is $45,000,000. The national government will spend $30,000,000 and vthe "tates $16,000,000. The govern ment appropriationmay be spent at the rate of $10,000,000 a year. The only other flood control pro ject in tho bill la for the Sacramento river, in California. For this the gov trmnent Authorisation Is 15.600,000.
