Hains, on the im- provement of the Potomac flats during the last fiscal year, says that at the commencement of the year the work had only been fairly started. It was determined to apply the funds appropriated in making a channel for navigation not less than 20 feet deep at low tide and about 400 feet wide from deep water off Giesboro’ Point to Georgetown, and to raise @ part of the flats in front of the city above overflow at ordinary high ude. On June g0th only 183,397.23 cubic yards had been dredged. For coivenience the work was divided into three Sectlons—section No. 1, the portion between the gewer canal and Easby’s Point; section No. 2, that, between the sewer canal and Long bridge, and sec on No. 3, that below the Long bridge. ‘The con- tract with P.
