all of it on projects that
have already been cominen
ced.
While it is within the pow
er of the Chief of Engin
eers and the Secretary of
War to choose any projects
which have been approved
by Congress, including the
Alaska projects which were
carried by the Rivers and
Harbors bill passed last
year, it is extremely pro
bable that this appropria
tion of $100,000,000 if not
increased in the Senate,
will be used exclusively for
projects which have been
heretofore commenced but
not completed since in
many cases it is necessary
to continue work on such
projects in order not to lose
the value of what already
has been done. New money
in the the amount of $390,
000,000 would be required
to complete the river and

This appropriation bill
contains an item of $136,
677.899 for rivers and har
bor work. No particular
projects are specified in the
bill but the testimony of
General Allison, General
Pillsbury and others be
fore the sub-committee dis
closed that of this sum $38,
677.899 is necessary for
maintenance of existing pro
jects and that the balance
of $100,000,000 is designed
for new work, practically

! harbor work that has been
; heretofore authorized by
Congress, and this amount
does not include the Passa
maquoddy tidal power pro
ject which js estimated to
cost $38,732,000, nor the
Atlantic-Gu:f ship canal
across Florida, estimated to
cost $138,000,000.
When the bill was under
consideration in the House,
i attempt was made bv sev
eral Members to earmark
portions of the total appro
priation for rivers and har
bors work in their respect
ive districts but all such at
tempts were voted down
overwhelmingly.
It is possible that some
misunderstanding has aris
en in Alaska over the re
port of the Chief of Engin
eers for 2935. This report
lists all the Alaska projects
which have been approved
by Congress in the 1935 Ri
vers and Harbors Bill and
as to each project carries
an item of the “amount that
can be profitably expend
ed in the fiscal year 1937
for new work.” With res
pect to most of the projects
the amounts carried in
these several items em
brace the entire cost, but
in the case of the Cordova
small boat harbor project
the total amount estimated
to complete the work is
$295 000. while the amount
recommended to bi . pent
for thr fiscal year !!.;•. / is
set at $180,000. Tins does
not mean iria. tiie p , • e.'t
will not b" completed, or
that the estimate has been
changed but rather it is re
commended that the work
be spread over two years
witli an expenditure of
$180,000 the first year and
the balance the succeeding
year.
Similarly with respect to
the harbor at Nome, Alas
ka. It is estimated that
$35,000 can be profitably
expended during the fiscal
year 1937. However, in
this case the report of the
Chief of Engineers contains
the following statement:
“The extension of the jet
ties is not urgently needed
at this time.” 'v
During the course of the
debate on the rivers and
harbors item of the bill, the
Delegate inquired of Rep
resentative Mansfield, chair
man of the House Rivers,
and Harbors Comma ee,
with respect to the author
ity to select projects n .on1
which the $100,000,000 ap
propriation, should be ex
pended. Judge Mansfield,
as is indicated by his reply
shown on page 2168 of the
Congressional Record, be-|
iieves that the Chief of En
gineers and the Secretary
of War may make the sel
ection of any approved pro
jects and they are not
bound by any list of pro
jects which may be within
the contemplation of the
Bureau of the Budget. The
general opinion is, however
that the projects passed by
the Budget are the only
ones which will be under
taken.
. February 13. The Dele
gate introduced a bill to
grant a pension to Mrs.
Frances H. Cochran, widow
of Claude S. Cochran, late
commodore, United States
Coast Guard. Commodore
Cochran was well known
in Alaska, having served
in the Coast Guard from
1891 until 1929 when he
was retired because of age.
At the time of his retire
ment Commodore Cochran
was in command of the Ber
ing Sea Patrol. He was
serving as a lieutenant on
the BEAPi in 1897 when
that vessel was called to
go to the relief of the crews
of eight whaling ships that
were caught in the ice near
Point Barrow. While he
was absent on this hazard
ous trip the Spanish-Amer
ican War took place, and
for this reason Mrs. Coch-,
ran is not automatically el
igible for a Spanish-Amer
ican War pension to which
she would otherwise be en
titled.
