The senate committee amended the bouse bill so us to take control of reclamation work almost entirely out of the charge of the secretary of the Interior, the hill as amended providing that the director of the service shall have control of examinations and surveys, and shall locate, construct, operate and maintain irrigation works as provided in the irrigation act, subject to the approval of the secretary of the interior in routine matter only. The bill also provides that until the president appoints a director of the reclamation service the duties of the office shall be performed by the director of the geological survey, who shall receive a salary of $4,000, in addition to his present compensation. The hill as reported by the committee, It is believed, will have the support of the geological survey and reclamation s rvice officers, and will be opposed vigorously by the secretary of the interior. It is probable the hill will pass the senate as amended, as most members generally do not upprove the constant opposition which has been manifested by the secretary of the interior to the full utilization of the irrigation fund.
