Bacon a the chair The following ceminunicat.on was received from Wm. D. Wise, Esq. To the Board «f Trade—Genilemen: 1 deg leave to submit to your consideration the fol- low. mg project for the deepening of the chan- nels of tbe Potomac and Eastern Branch, (a Subject long discussed,) and the reclaiming of the parrow iron: of water-lots between the Navy Yard and Georgetown. The value of sucban im provement cannot overestimated for the purpoces of the Arse: Navy Yard, and other Government wor! well as the city; buithe obstacle that has always facea us bas been that its expense would be too great tobe borne by our people im the way of ordinary taxAtion, but ihe advantages that Would accrue to the Government theretrum would lead us to expect that Congress would make &m Appropriation to assist ip that object. Whether Washington is destined (o become & place of commercial im 08 OF Bot, from its location as thi s government, no one can deny . is extremely desiranle to sufficient depth of water for sea- Isatalltimes. This work is emi- Bently practicable. Washington has had such & channel}, which has become partially filled up from sewer and surface drainage, and cal- vation aud improvement on the river front, and the bed of our river is of such a soft, al- luvial mature, that its material could be easily excavated by dredging. The advantage of such an improvement, if it did no more than furnish a safe ingress and egress to and from our Navy Yard for Gevernment vessels, Would justify a very considerable appropria- tion 4 Congress. the material excavated I propose to fill up and reclaim the water-lots between the banks of the Potomac and the edge of the chan- mel. TI would be a great improvement, bat its necessity is not imperative. It can well Tied on gradually. The Government Owns several first-class dredges, which can be made readily available for work. For each dredger a crew ef some six bands, who have had some experience in this class of work, would be requisite, and each dredger will require from fifty to sixty laborers to remove the material excavated, level it, &c. But the greatest expense in carrying on this improvement would arise from the force of laboring men employed in managing the scows, tramsporting the excavated material from the dredges, and levellimg it along the banks of the river. This labor 1 propose to bave supplied trom the convicts, who, at each term of our criminal court, are sent to the Al- bany penitentiary, and there supported at Government expe! though kept at labor. 1 would not have the work carried on too rapidly at first. {t could be commenced as an experiment, and though | would not at pres- ent suggest all the details for carrying it out, I think there are not many objections that can be urged to its practicability. For the - keeping of the prisoners I would suggest tbat their place of confinement at night should be on some of the =r vessels atthe Navy Yard. Tbey could be held on one of them as Safely and as comfortably as in the prison walls at Albany. Some may urge the retormatory advantages of the penitentiary system. In thix connection 1 would suggest that the discipline over the pri-oners thus employed can be almost per- fectly assimilated to that over those in peni- tenuaries. The restraint woula be perhaps somewhat different, but the identical moral influences, which experience shows haye been attended with such beneficial results in prison walls, could be exerted on the prisoners thu< beld. Every inducement held out to reform Albany could be held out at Washington. The veseels employed to hold the convicts would be safe at anchor off the Navy Yard, Arsenal, Old Penitentiary, and in fact anywhere along the line of channel, as the work progressed. 1t would afford to the convicts thus employed a healthful occupation, and their employment in this manner would silence some of the many complaints made against the employ- ment of convicts in manufactures, and bring- ing their labor in conflict with that of honest skilled mechanics, thus to some extent de- grading the labor and sensibly decreasing the Profits of the latter, By thus employing those convicts, a great public improvement will be effected. which, when finished, will more than adequately repay for the money expended in carrying it out, the convicts thereupon em- ployed will have been rendered more than self-eustaining. while their employmert in this manner will not, te us current expres- sion, “take bread out of anybedy’s mouth. Having thus deepened our channel and im- proved our river frent, our atiention could next be turned to the channel leading to Alex - andra i made a similar suggestion in 1960 to the Board of Inspectors of Washington Peniten- uary, in reference to the employment of con- vict labor on James’ Creek, the dredging of which has just been completed, under my superintendence. It was approved by them, and recommended by Secretary Thompson in his last report. Should these suggestions meet the approba- tion of the board.
