Although small compared to the
apporpriation of $27,000,000,000
for the fiscal year .1918-1919
when this country was lending all
its resources to win the World
war. It exceeds by more than half
billion dollars the total appro
priation of the preceding congress.
The 69 th congress appropriat
ed $8,020,000,000 for government
expenses. This at the time was
a new high . for peace time and
surpassed by millions the record
of the 88th congress appropria
tions totaling .$7.93 5.000,000.
Of the X4,sz8,045,036 appro
priated during the . first session,
the 70th congress allotted $40,-
000,000 for Mississippi valley and
New England flood conrtol work.
In the second session $78,000,000
