House Passes River and Harbor Bill with 83 Million
The house approved the river and harbor appropriation bill totaling over 83 million dollars with amendments from committee chairman Mr. Burton of Ohio. The 14 foot Mississippi channel plan from Chicago to St Louis and the gulf failed in committee as members backed the committee recommendation. Former Sergeant Fraser testified to a senate panel that colored troops were unpopular in Brownsville and implicated local citizens in a shooting plot. The senate approved the army appropriation bill of 81.6 million, while a key amendment allowing reduced government rates on supplies and transportation for officers and men failed.
