IN FAVOR OF THE IMPROVEMENT. Gen. K. D. Mussey appeared before the com. mittee and made a legal argument. in favor of the proposed improv: of the river and General M. Premised by sa; that the land i 6 Potomac will be, Pann oF PROP- rec! St ee reclamation of land ever made in the United St detailed the reclamation of the Virginia code, of the two states, p Al lexandria, Congress had ice and a control of Wachintion inia of the poli to the bridge. I think that question may be regarded as settled. The second 0) Posing interest is the Aqueduct bridge. It will time to consider that when it is seriously threatened. The bills now consider- ed by the committee only go as far as 17th st. ‘The next opposing interest is that of the c eanal company, which ts between Mth street and 20th section , 1824—the charter of that canal, ratified by Maryland and the United States—it is provided that “if after the Kory souk tion of the said canal and locks the president and directors shall fail to keep the same in re- pair for twelve months at any time. then, in like manner interest of the company in the nay- b yo and tolls shall cease, and their charter be forfeited.” Now, it is clear that tanto this penalty attaches to that portion within the District, and the United States may at any time by scire facias take advantage of sec~ tion. The canal company admits hed have ea ', and in fact we all know it. The fourth opposing interest is that of wharf- owners or claimants of wharf on the Potomac river. It seems a littl ingular to me that those gentlemen who, as it appears to me, have the cleanest title to wharf property in the city of Washington, viz: those on the Anacostia are not here opposing these propositions. The opposition comes, as I to demonstrate, from claimants whose title, tosay the least, is: clouded. M: |, 25 was shown Wy to the committee, had as the sovereign the right to wharf inthe Potomac river. This sovereign right she had a. with. bi she allowed al) owners of water lots in Baltimore to wharf ont and improve. In 1753 a similar privilege was given to Long Point; in 17M, to e owners of lots on the north side of Water street were allowed to wharf out on the south side. The 7th section of the com 1785, above referred to, provides tat “the etme er enh wentes respectively, shall have full power on the shores of the Poto- mac river, with all emoluments and advantages thereunto” bel , and the privilege of making and carrying out wharves and other improvements, so as not to obstruct or injure the navigation of the river.” Under this the owners of water lots can go out with their wharves to the channel; and I think such owners have vested rights ‘and private property which cannot be taken away without compensation made. In 1791 Maryland ratified the cession to the United States of this District, and gave the ‘federal commissioners” who laid out the city authority to control wharving. The commissioners issued building regulation ‘Xo. 4, concerning this, which one of the Attornoy Generalsof the United States subsequently held to be in excess of their power. The power was ven to owners of water lots. Now Maryland had defined what “water lots” were. ‘They are = —— the water. jen. then, by reference to original chowed that many of the ited were not continued ining the water, but were strip of land between the built out from a squares sold and the river, which strip of land he contended belonged to the United States as the-successor of Maryland. He said no owner from the river had a right to ; and such wharfage ly granted; wharfage privilege had, so far as the records wg yr ad ofty in one Instatices by deed from the co:umissioners—in the case of Peters, on Rock Creek.

He said he had but lit to add to what has alreaty been said in behalf of the plan forthe improve- ment of our river and harbor. He did desire to say, however, that the needs of Washii and Georgetown. in reference to a good harbor, are very great, and our helplessness in this matter is shown by the fact that two steamers plying between this city and New York, and drawing but a few feet of water, are unable to river to Georgetown except at then went on to state that owing to lack of harbor facilities the commerce of the District is imaterially restricted, and that only boats which draw but little water can navigate the harbor. He was glad this discussion has arisen, because it is desirable that opinions on all sides be ob- tained on this tmportant subject. ‘That some- thing should be done, however, is self evident. The flats in front of the city, are an undoubted 1 , andemit an odor and give rise to a malaria which physicians concur in believing injurious to health. The work of impr-vement contemplated should be done. We want to have the work done, but by whom we care not; want it done. ‘It would doubtless be best that the United States should do this work and give us a tine harbor. As to the Canal com- any, 80 far as trusting ourselves to the tender mercies of that corporation, I don’t think we can afford todo it, unless the company is bound to do the work within a certain time. Wehave already had an unpleasant experience with that corporation; for as every one knows, for twenty years past they have allowed that portion of their line between I7th street and Rock creek to re- main a shame and a nuisance to the community. In regard to the claim that is known as the «Kidwell Meadows,” he (Mr. 3.) desired to pro- duce a copy of the records from the general land office inrelation to the matter. Mr. Shep- herd read the action of the land office in relation to Dr. Kidwell’s claima for 47.71 acres, of which the following is an abstract: September 2, 1267—Kidwell made application tothe United States Treasurer for the purchase of the Meadows. September 3, 186T.—United States treasurer, on receipt of $20, issued to Kidwell certificate for amount, axd gave orders to commissioner land office for survey of premises. September 12, 1867 —Commissioner land office ssued order for survey. October 21, 1867.—Surveyors made returns of survey as ap island, denominating it “The Kid- well Meadows,” and containing 47.71 acres. February 13, 1%68.—Examiner inspected sur- vey and found the land under water, with ex- ception of a few logs protruding above the same. ‘ebruary 28, 186%.—The examiner rejected the survey and reported facts to commissioner of general land office, who ordered its cancella- tion on the records of surveys. tember 11, 1869.—Kidwell, by his attorney, Mr. Wilson, appealed, and furnished four affi- davits showing the existence of the land, and it being an island, and requested reexamination of survey. Octover 17. 1889.—Reéxammation made by examiner general, who, finding his first inspec- tion of the survey in the winter season was at variance with the actual state of the land in autumn, rescinded his former conclusions, formed under unfavorable conditions, and re- ported the facts to the commissioner of the gen- eral land office, submitti at same time the question as to the issuance of patents therefor. December 2, 1869—Commiasioner of the gen- eral land office directed issue of patent, which was executed in favor of John L. Kidwell on the 6th day of December, 1869. Mr. Shepherd then read an abstract of the Jaws of Maryland and Congress in reference to lands in the county of Washington, and also the official record in ‘the case of Kidwill’s aj tion for the 600 acres heretofore spoken of above ud below the Long bridge. | From this record itappears that Kidwell inade his first applica- tion for this tract June 10, 1867; that the sucvéy was made and the examiner general inspected the * , and finding the tract under water, up the je. He Dp resented four affidavits proving existence of the flats or bar im the river, and asked that it be examined when there was no ice in the river; October 24, 1869, the examiner was directed to examine sur- vey but found land submerged, and again re- jected the survey November 10, » Nopatent has since been issued to Kidweil. ‘Mr. Shepherd then read a letter dated “ De- partment Interior, General Land Office, &e., 'y 22, 1873,” from Mr. Willis Drummond, pnmissioner of the General Land Office, in which he says, referring toa letter addressed Mr. S. relative to the land patent issued Kidwell: “It appears from the records that the patent was he provi of the Joint reso! ned February 18, st . 86.
