This book explores a critical gap in the River and Harbor Appropriation bill proposed by the Secretary of War, highlighting the importance of addressing urgent military and commercial needs. The author, Col. Newcomer, emphasizes the crucial role of these projects in maintaining the efficiency of the country's transportation services and contributing to national defense. The book delves into the careful consideration and prioritization process undertaken to include the most essential items within the proposed budget. It examines the consolidation of maintenance funds, the assessment of shifting needs, and the discretionary power granted to the Chief of Engineers and the Secretary of War in allocating funds.
