Con- gress had been frequently informed as to the th of water above the structure and the navi- gable character of the river; that at points in the channel the reached from 19 to 85 feet, and that the t class of vessels navigating the Potomac river could go to the head of tide-water, three miles above the aqueduct, if it were acces- sibie; thay Congress had recognized that such was the need of the Situation by appropriations for the removal thence of a few dangerous rocks; and that in early times, and before the erection ofthe aque- duct, ‘vessels’ loaded with cannon, &c., from Mason’s foundry, and also loaded for Chesapeake bay, almost atthe site of the present Chain bridge, three above the Aqueduct, Exact information half been communicated to that body as early as 1872 by the report of the harbor com- mission that on the District side of the river there existed about 5,500 feet of river frontage available for wharfing purposes for the Vessels, and back of whtci lag; and ‘separated trom the river by a few hundred feet of intervening land, the Georgetown level of the and ‘Ohio canal, 37 feet above the river, supplied with water from & source only some four miles distant, at the Lats Falls of the Povomas, 1 be used f9t water ower. That the wi ‘space below the Ras ilfatted and incapable of exve.sion because of the Potomac flats iunprovement, which only con- templated that the river shore at that point should De part of a public park, ‘That relief was needed, for the reason that coal shipments were necessa- rily carried on in immediate juxtaposition with flouring tills, and much to the detriment of the latter industry; and that no proper space was afforded for quick dispatch in the matter of ship- ing coal, the coasting vessels being sometimes jour or Imore deep at the stations, and others at anchor in the stream awaiting a berth. ‘Such were the facts, accepted as such by Con- gress, and upon which is based its action in re- moving this aqueduct trunk, which for nearly Iifty years had stopped the navigation of the river above.’ Hud the intent of Congress been to secure only a free bridge and to secure a crossing 1n utter disregard of the rights of the shipping interest, much money could have been saved, and a bridge erected over and in connection with the trunk, and Ubat part of the water-way of the Alexandria canal preserved. ‘The act of 234 February, 1881, providing for the purchase of the Aqueduct bridge or the erection of an alternative bridge, in exp! terms called for a draw, and thus recognized that an obstruction existed to navigation, and not only That, but that an immediate remedy was needed Walch relief 1t granted. And, again, Senate bill 1477, passed in Senate May 6, 184, and Senate Dill 300, passed in Senate January ? contain clauses providing for a draw,” Such’pro- Vision Was, it is true, omitted from the act of 21st June, 1886, (although in the Dill as it passed the Senate); buLit was thought by Senator Kiddle- berger, Une promoter of the measure, inasmuch as that bill contemplated uke purchase of the entire Work, that that single object be then pressed, and When the bridge was secured, partly by purchase and partly by condemiuation, the same cousidera~ ons which caused Congress to provide tor a draw in 1881, &c., could be urged in 1887, without Yolving the'then issue, In which Alexandria the sole opponent. It Should not be forgotten that the official charts of the coast survey Show that the Potomac river is navigubie nearly to the Litule Falls, several miles above this bridge, and the re- ports of the special board of survey ‘in 1872 em- Phasize the same facts. Section 2550, Revised ‘Statutes, carries the collection district of George- town “to the head of navigable waters” of the Potomac river, Georgetown being its “port of entry.” That lone should guarantee its use over {ts entire course. But again, the Secretary of War 1s, by section 8 of the actor Sth July, 1884, (Stats, XXIII, page 148), charged with the special duty of taking eare ‘that no obstruction should be maintatned over the navigable waters of the United States; and the les Of Congress will show that each year the clamor is great either for general legislation upon this subject, or for special provisions ot relief each Year In the fiver and harbor bilis. While so much cost is being incurred in removing obstructions beneath the water, certainly no objection can be urged as to the removal of hindrances to navigation which exist above the surface. It should not be assumed that no necessity will arise for access to the wharfage front above the site of the bridge. ‘That front has not been used for the reason that a barrier for nearly fifty years has existed in the Way Of its approach, Which has made it incapable of use; but it may well be expected that the in- creasing needs of this District, so rapidly assum- Ing Mts [proper porportions us ‘the eapital of tls nation, Will at an early day demand its improve- ment if free access to it 13 allowed. ‘The develop- ment of a grand water-power as been and 1s Sull being retarded by not being able to get access to the navigable river above. ‘There are also four mills above this bridge and a large number of quarries, which would. be greatly benetited if ac- cess to them could te had. The government is juently advertising for stone to be delivered at different points, and ‘these quarries could enter into competition, if they could get a masted vessel above the briag¢ to load, iustead of transterring below the bridge trom fldt-boats. These quarries Were unable (within the past two years) to bid for large contract advertised for by’ Colonel Craig hill op account of not being able to load vessels direct from the quarries. It vessels could be got- ten above the bridge, coal Wharves would at once de butit for the transshipment of coal and many manufacturing interests be developed, as. the water-power abovets among the very few to which the soa-going craft could approach. ‘The objection urged that travel over the brid; will be hindered if a draw is allowed 13 scarcely worth consideration, and as navigation ts the prl- mary object to be provided for, all other interests, should be secondary in importance. In practice it will be seen, however, that the Long bridge with its two draws does not Seem to discourage invest- ment at its Virginia end, and that that section 1s being rapidly acquired ahd large Industries being there established, “It can, therefore, be confident ly expected that this appéal, that a’dfaw be now provided, may be granted, when no delay will be involved’ im the work, Which all agree should be pushed to completion with all due dispatch, wuen the additional expense 1s so small and can be done how so much more readily and at smaller cost ‘than hereafter, and without delay.
