River and Harbor Budget Creases in Hoover Era Plan
The first big budget of river and harbor development calls for 55 million dollars, up five million from last year, to be expended in the year starting July 1 1930. Major General Lytle Brown notes 77 million expended on projects to June 89, with 76.1 million expended by July 1 this year. Mississippi flood control not included. President seeks larger annual appropriations, with coastwise canals and inland waterways rising, while seacoast harbors decline. Mississippi River system, Ohio, Hinds, Allegheny, and Monongahela rivers specified with varied funding. Speeding cases: W H Brock fined 3 dollars. H A Bevitt forfeits 10-dollar bond for speeding.
