Missouri River Commission Seeks Funding Boost
The annual report of the Missouri River Commission, received by the War Department, calls for increased appropriations. It notes Sundry Civil Act funds of 260,000 dollars to preserve existing improvements and 146,000 dollars to finish the Osage River lock and dam project. The commission cites inadequate funding, river hazards, and lack of navigable conditions as reasons for scant commerce.
