Sherrill and Anson Bangs, the toundation and superstructare masonry are porary dam was washed away during the ring freshets, and several times daring the summer. It was repaired after each freshet, and kept in repair uutil the present time. The work on the gatehouse at the Great Fells bas been resumed, and it will be com- pleted before the coming winter. The floor ‘and the timbers supporting the iron gates are very much decayed, and shoutd be replaced witm flooring and girders of cast-iron. The pe oe bridges on the aqueduct are all uafin- cannet present state they are rapidl Getertorating, and if we havea succession of winters as co! and changeable as the Iast, their usefulness for pete Purposes will soon become se- F.ous! 3 The wor on the connecting conduit at the Teservoir was resumed August 13, 1866, and Vigorously prosecuted until its completion. Dalecariia tunnel, eight hundred feet in length, was continued day and night until March 4th, when it was pierced ain On August Sth the waters of Powder Mill Branch and of the receiving reservoir were shut off and the waters of the Potomac (which since the 5th of December, 1863, had emptied into the re- ceiving reservoir,) were let into the new con- neering conduit. in ma! the excavations for this conduit, more rock was envountered than was estimated jor; nearly its enure iength was built on rock foundations, but the most expensive and diffi- cult portion of the work was Dalecariia tan- nel, & ii part of which is constracted through soft and loose rock that is not self-sus- taming. This part of the tannel as it pro- grersed was carefully shored with heavy tim- bers and every precaution used to protect the live {the miners, and to prevent the roof and sides trom caving, yet extensive slides took Place and several accidents happened to the ‘workmen though only one lite was lost. Over one hundred feet of the south heading cayed in and became an open cutting. Tne cost of tbe connecting conduit bas consexuently ex- ceeded the appropriations made by Congress in July, 1-66, and there is a balance due the con- tractors, Mesers. Sherrill aud Bangs. Three hondred feet of the tunnel will have to be arched, and the water siopes of the embank- ment Will bave tobe lined with ripraps to protect them from the waters of the receiving reservou (mm August Sth, when the Potomac waters were turned into the connecting condait, this Tecervoir was shut off from the conduit, and bas not been used since. The water in it. Which had become yery impure, was emptied out: it Was refilled again, and now contains about tour days supply, which can be used in the event of an accident happening to the con- duit. This reservoir could be improved aud tovde very usefol or storage and settling of water, by deepening the sbaliow parts and Ining the slopes with ripraps. Eventually this improvement will be found neceseary. | Tue lauds im connection with chis reservoir night be improved And beautified, aad made inte & park which would be easy of access, and a deeirable place of resort. Werk on the distributing reservoir was sus- Pented im Jone, I-64. Since then it has been used for storage and settling purposes. On the completion of the connecting conduit, the Potomac water was introdaced directly into this reservoir. Owing to its unfinished con- dition, it is necessary to keep the water at a low elevation. When it is finished. the water cau be raised several feet higher, which will give @ greater pressure in the pipes and a largely increased supply of waier to Capitol Hill and other bigh points in the cities. This | Tecetver bas been in use for over three years, nd no repairs have been made oa any part of it, The estimate for completing it is, co: quen (ly. considerably increased, and th 2 ker lt sa used im its present siate the greater most be the final cos! of completing it. 1a the estimate I have incladed che cost of Isying sr iron rain from the distributing Teservoir pipe vault to Foundry branch pipe Vault, to be used either for supply or drain Pipe If, from any cause it becomes necessary Yo empty this reservoir, it can be done only by shutting cfl one of the mains ana using it for a drain pipe. ‘The necessity of having separate drainsge and supply pipes is snfficiently obvi- ous. The severai gate houses ia connection with this reservoir are in an incomplete condi- tiom, and doring the cold weather of Inst winter were a constant source of expense and Auxiety, aud a watchman had to be employed, day auduight, (o keep the water in them from freezing. ‘The High Service reservoir at Georgetown, is also unfinished, but has been in constant use since June, 1°65. 1ts present appearance is very unsightly: either it should be fzishea according to the original design or the come should te cut down to tbe level of the gravel waik and protected by an orna- mental irou reiling.

It bas supplied the High Service with water for nearly eight years. it was first put in operation in No- vember, I-59, and worked till October %), 62, when it was stopped for repairs.
