FIEBEGER—HE THINKS THE WORK PROPOSED WILL TAKE TEN YEARS —THE VALUE OF THE KECLAIMED LAND. Capt. Lusk’s report upon the resolation of the Senate calling for certain information rela- tive to the arching of Kock creek was printed in Saturday's Star. Today Capt. Fiebeger, to whom was referred that por- tiou of the report relative to the fill- ing in between the banks of the creek and the estimate of the value to the government of the land reclaimed by such work in excess of the probable judgment of condemnation, submitted his report. It is given in full below: In making the estimates required I have as- sumed that the land reclaimed will be sold so ag to indemnify the government, as far as pos sible, for the cost of making the improvement. To uld be subdivided in ac- this end it sh cceptable vision is shown on the plan and the grades of the streets on the sections hereunto attached, DESCRIPTION OF THE IMPROVEMENT. South of Pennssivania avenue the top of arched water way will be nbout twenty feet above the level of the streets at its intersection with K street and «till higher at Virginia ave- nue, This will necestitate considerable filling to bring the adjacent squares to this level and | to connect the streets of Washington with those | of Georgetown. Between Pennsylvania avenue and P street the top of thearch will be below the level of the banks of the creek and there will be no difficulty in uniting the two cities with the present grades of thestreets, Between F and R streets it is proposed to fill the valley so that bot Q and R streets may be connected with 24th and 25th streets extended, as shown on the plans and sections. North of Retreet, as Massachusetts avenue is arallel to the creek and has its grade estab- lished, it is proposed to fill the valley in such a that its slope will incline gradually from the avenue westward to Park drive, which will be tocated on the east line of Oak’ Hill cemetery. The inclination will be stich that no. strect will have a greater | slope than four feet in 100. and the encroach ment on the cemetery will be as little as pos sible, Park drive will pass under Massachusetts aventie, as heretofore proposed, into the valley above. AMOUNT AND COST OF FILLING. The total amount of filling, which is given in the accompanying estimates, ix over 6,000,000 | cubic yards. Such a qnantity of material could | not be obtained in any one place in the Dintri west of the Anacostia river, and could be ob-| tained most cheaply from Virginia, south of the | Potomac. It would, however, be advisable to | obtain ay much as possible from the suburban | streets adjacent to the valley, even at a higher | cost. Ihave, therefore, made the estimate at 40 cents a cubic yrrd, which ix somewhat greater than it would be if all the material were obtained from a single borrow pit on the south side of the Potomac river. During the progress of the work an amount not to exceed 100,000 cubie yards per year will be deposited in “the valley’ by con- tractors and builders. improvement. Tire remaining amount is distributed in the the various sections of the work as follows: From Massachusetts avenue to Potomac river: 5,208,310 cubic vards at 40 cents, 22,083,324. From Massachusetts avenue to Pennayl 1,060 cubic yards at 40 cei mill to Pennsylvania avenue: | ards at 40 cents, $880,670. ith street extended: 1,069, rds at 40 cents, $427,822. ‘Ten per cent should’ be added. to the. above for engineering and contingencies. LAND TO BE ACQUIRED. The amount of land to be acquired by con- demnation is shown approximately upon the accompanying plan, THE VALUATIONS. The appended tables, kindly furnished me by the astewsor of the District, give the approxi- mate atsersed valuations of this land. These valuations are based on the last nasewsment re- vised for Washington, but unrevised for George- town and the county. ‘The relation between the values of a piece of property as determined by condemnation and by assessment is a” very uncertain ratio. In the case of the Rock Creek Park the amount paid for land and im) was from two to ten times its assessed value, and the average wus about seven, In the case of the post office square the amount paid was | from two and seven-tenths to eight and seven- | tonths the asseseed value and the average was four. In the case of the square parobased for the prigting office}the amount to be paid by agreement is about three times its value under the latest unrevised assessment.
