But still there would have been no tooding Of the basin of our extinct Tiber bad there been no Long Bridge acting asa dam to these moving ice tlelds and their intermingled drift-wood and Tubbich, thus backing the arrested stream up the old Tiber valiey. It was not the causeway that arrested the downward passage of the Stream, but the obstructions of the trestle work across the Washington channel. Under the Strong south wind of that Satarday—a day never here to be forgotten—the heaviest pres- Sure of the ice pack and of the stream was against thet trestle work, and when, wader that iremendous pressure, this obstructiug section of the bridge gave way, the city was instantly relieved. Nevertheless, while that bridge and Its cause- Way remains as they are, our Tiber valiey will be subject to occasional inundatioas from our Spriug and autumnal freshets. How can they be prevented? A bridge of stone pters, with Wide Spans, from shore to shore, has been suz- G-sted. If our only object in’ view ts a free gy. Sip the river freshets, this remedy will Icet the case.

In this view we must retain that esnseway to assist us In the work of recia:a ton; for, with the removal of that causeway and a free course to the river from shore to shore, the first heavy freshet. would probably carry off from thosé flats deposits which, for filiig in, Would require the labor of thous:ads of men, Lorses and carts for a Whole summer to rp river Improvements required to meet ai the wants of our national capital are the 10! lowing in the opinion of the writer: Ist.
