THE XIOGARDLY POLICY OF CONGRESS HAS RE- TARDED THE WORK—WHAT WAS ACCOMPLISHED DURING THE PAST YFAR—THE LONG BRIDGE & MENACE To THE city's sarErY. ‘The annual report to the chief of engineers of the army of Col. Peter Hains, the engineer in charge of the Potomec river at Washington, shows that the expenditures on that work dur- ing the last fiscal year have amounted te $65,115.87. After noting the various projects that have been accomplished during the year, Col. Hains says: “It is unfortunate that Congress has not seen its way clear to make more liberal appropriations for this im- portant work. What has been done bas been economically done, but it would have cost less had adequate appropriation been made, so that the work could have been kept continuously The lack of funds has retarded the exe- work so that we have been over- by freshets before it could be made secure against damage by them. DAMAGED BY FRESHETS. “The freshets of two years ago, the highest of which there is any authentic record, dam- aged the work more than was at first suppo: these and other draw- et be completed within the estimates, if a single large appropriation be made. “From a business point of view it would be an economical measure toappropriate in one sum the full amount needed to complete it.” Col. Hains reiterates his warnings of the dan- ger with which the city is mcuaced by the presence of the Long bridge in its present con- dition. He suys: DANGER FROM THE LONG BRIDGE. “The project for the improvement of the Potomac river contemplates the removal or re- building of Long bridge. As the improvement progresses the necessity for this becomes more and more urgent. The piers of the bridge are more numerous than are necessary in & structure built according to modern’ plans, and are built in a direction oblique to the flow of freshets. Furthermore, they are surrounded by great quantities of rip-rap stone, which has been deposited around them from time to time to protect them. I estimate that below low tide level the natural discharge area of the Potomac at Long braige is reduced over 30 per cent by the piers and their founda- tions as they exist today. A CONSTANT MENACE. “Long bridge on account of its faulty con- struction remains a constant menace to the in- terests on the river frout above it and also to the work of improvement on the flats, upon which the government hae already spent a large sum. In the event of a freshet occurring while the river is full of ice—and such a con- tingency is not at ail unlikely—the most seri- ous results are to be apprehended. In such an event it may reasonably be expected that an ice gorge will form at Long bridge, backing up the waterr of the river and overflowing portions of the city front, and, through the sewers above the bridge, such of the lower parts of the city as may be drained by thew. Durmg the treshet of June, 1889, the water reached a height at ‘Long’ bridge of about thirteen feet above low tide. The street surface at 14th and B streets northwest is about eight feet above low tide and during the freshet re- ferred to the water was about five feet deep in the street at that locality. Great damage was done by this freshet, but greater damage may occur from a freshet of lesser magnitude if accompanied by an ice gorge. The brid should be rebuilt as recommended by the board of engineers.” THE MONEY STATEMENT.

WORK OF TRE PAST YEAR. ‘The work done during the past year is as follows: “Immediately upon the approval of the river and harbor act of September 19, 1890, the construction of a revetment, or sea wall, to protect the embankments or margins of the fill, which were being considerably dam- aged by waves and currents, was com- menced. About 5,100 linear feet of dry stone wail have been built at places most liable to erosion by waves and where the con- ditions would permit. The wall is built ona rip-rap footing.

DREDGING CONTRACT NOW IX PROGRESS. “A contract, dated December 17, 1890, is now in progress for dredging about 500,000 cubic yards of material from the Washington chan- nel and depositing it on that of the flats below the Long bridge.

Sax Fraxctsco, July 16.—A correspondent of the Examiner, who las has made the trip y boat over the flooded district at Salton, sends the following: “The party left Colorado river six mies from Hianlonsand turned northwest into as de After proceeding twenty-five mes to a Inguna ot the Co! ori er and this was the first place where they Ww water leaving the river on the way to be desert. It seemed to be breaking out in places and the correspondent expresses opinion that the river will probably evento ly change ite channel and throw a gront voli me of water into the desert. Further down a1 er stream came in from the lake and afew m es further on still another, suppored to be be Carresto creek. While the water seemed to be falling there isa great volume which must ap- parently come in from various laker along the Toute, and it is believed that the channel is per- manently cut and that the desert will always contain water except in the lowest stages of the Colorado river.” The source of the Salton lake is now settled. The water comes from the Colorade river anew: party has just come in to Salton from Yuma, having made the whole distance ina boat. They report that the Colorado river had broken through the western banke at sev- eral points, the original breaks being about twenty miles from Yuma.
