Ames, of Massa- chusetts, informing him that the state had made an appropriation to provide oll portraits of her citizens who have served as Speaker of the national House of Representatives. Mr. Clark remarked that Massachusetts had set an example which the other States would do well to follow.

Hain’s Report on the Aqueduct. THE PRESENT BRIDGE UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS—A ‘NEW BRIDGE A PUBLIC NECESSITY—THE PLAN OF ‘RROONSTRUCTION—AN ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION ‘NEEDED. Col. P. C. Hains has submitted to the chict of engineers @ plan for the reconstruction of the Aqueduct bridge, which has been referred to the Secretary of War. He states that after paying $125,000 for the. present structure, and retaining $10,000 for condemning the northern abutment and securing the rignt of way, there remains $105,000 available for the reconstruction of the bridge. The bridge has been examined several ‘times in the last year, he says, and the testimony ofall disinterested parties is that the present structure is unsafe, 1s continually deteriorating that it should be removed and the bridge be recon- structed of more permanent material and with & more convenient roadway. ‘This also seems to be the object of the appropriation. In re- constructing the bridge, he continues, the width ot roadway ought ‘to be not’ less than 4 teot, and there should be two footways of not less than six feet each. ‘This gives 36 feet as the least width of the bridge that will satisfy the demands of the public. Iv is proper to call atten. tion also to the necessity for providing a draw Span, by means of which large vessels may passit. here 13 0 good water front above the bridge on the District side that could be made available for commerce, and, besides, the river ftself 1s naviga- Die for large vessels as far up as Chain bridge. In previous report, Col. Hains say's, he called atten- tion tothe fact that the Aqueduct bridge inter- feres with the free and safe navigation of the Poto- mac river, and that the proper way to remedy the evil is to provide a draw for the bridge. Now, that the government ts about to reconstruct the same, it would seem only proper that this hindrance to the free navigation of such a river as the Potomac should be removed. ‘THE MOST SUITABLE PLAN for s draw would be to widen the abutment pler nearest the Virginia side of the river and place on itaturn-tabledraw. A cheaper plan, however, and one that would answer all_ purposes, would be to rest the turn-table ofthe draw on the south abutment, using for navigation the span between the south abutment and thenext adjot ning ler. The ‘water is over twenty feet deep through ‘A PROPORED IROW BRIDGE. To build an iron bridge on the present piers with iron trestle approaches at each end, a through truss span across the Chesapeake and Ohio canal and a draw on the Virginia side, he estimates, would cost in round figures $135,000. ‘The money available for the work 1s not sufficient, however, to carry out this plan. If any ornamen- tation bé attempted the reconstruction of a part of each pler would be necessary and the cost would be greatly increased, though no other ad- vantage Would be gained. ‘Ir the draw and certain repairs to the be omitted and an carthern eabankment be su stituted forthe iron trestle approach at the south end, the work can be done for $105,000. The question ts shall the money be expended in recon- structing: the bridge in this way with as little out- 18 Span. lay as practicable or shall the present structure ‘be opened to public travel? “A Gra does not appear’ to have been contem- plavéd by Con; wen the appropriation was, Made, 80 that there would be no Just reason for delay’ on this gro If Congress should decide before March 4, 2 clable delay in reconstruction, ‘TRE PRESENT BRIDGE UNSAFE.

If none should be made by ture farch 4th (a contingency not improba- bie) there would be no adequate means to recon- struct the’ bridge in iron, except by reducing its dimensions, a most undesirable alternative, ‘A NEW BRIDGE A NECESSITY. “The reconstruction of the bridge is a necessits ‘The interests of the public demand that it bedone at the earllest practicable day.
