The Work of Reclamation—The Re- pairs Made to the Damaged Bridge Pier. Maj. Davis has made a report to the chief of engineers of operations for the im- provement of the Potomac river during the mcnth of April. Dredging in the Wash- ington channel, under the contract of the New York Dredging Company, was con- tinued through the month and good pro- gress made. The operations were confined to the lower part of the channel and con- sisted chiefly in widening the same cn the easterly side. A section of channel 800 feet long was-dredged, the width obtained being 400 feet and the depth 20 feet at low lide. The total length of channel dredged in the Washington channel under this con- tract is 5,000 feet. During last month 78,982 cubic yards were dredged, making the total amount of dredging in the Wash- ington channel under this contract 157,270 cubic yards. The construction of the sea wall in the tidal reservoir was commenced April 16 with a small force of men. Operations there have been greatly delayed by high tides and rainy and unfavorable weather. At the close of the month 50 feet of wall had been completed and 150 feet were in progress. Work on the training dike on the west side of the Virginia channel above the Long bridge was continued, and 1,389 cubic yards of riprap were put in place. he dike has been extended 550 feet under the contract with E. G. Gummel. All the dredged material is deposited on the flats, and practically the entire area to be reclaimed has been raised above the overtiow at ordinary high tide. Of the 12,000,000 cubic yards estimated as neces- sary to fill the flats, there has been so deposited about 10,616,534. The Aqueduct Bridge. Maj. Davis says that the contractors for the repairs to the Aqueduct bridge, the Shailer & Schniglau Company, have con- tinued operations on the cofferdam for the repair of pier No. 4, but no substantial results have been attained, the work being no nearer completion than it was at the end of March. The contractors at first proposed and tried to do all the pumping with an eight-inch centrifugal pump, but this was soon found to be entirely insuili- cient, and on April 16 a new ten-inch Worthington duplex pump was put in place, being set down inside the dam about four feet below low tide. This pump having been put in operation, a depth of twelve feet was reached April 17, when a large leak occurred, filling up the dam for the third time. The leak continued all the next day, and April 19 pumping was re- sumed and a depth of eleven feet was reached, when the dam sprung a leak at = west end and filled again for the fourth time. The next day was spent in repairing leaks by a diver. Pumping was resumed April 21 and continued until the 24th, a depth of 19% feet below low tide being reached. At this level the bottom showed on the inside of the dam, atthe northeast corner, agree- ing with the soundings previously made. A Serious Leak. The same day a serious leak occurred at the southwest corner of the dam, which was checked somewhat, but not stopped. The pumping was continued and the same level preserved through two high tides, each of which increased the lead three feet (the leak meanwhile gradually increasing), until the afternoon of the 2ith, when the sheet piling broke, and the water burst through the dam. with great violence, the sudden inrush of water being so great as to completely fill the dam in ten minutes. So great was the force of the water that the silt, ten feet in depth, was washed away from the sheet piling on the inside and churned into black foam as it rose to the surface. The break occurred at the bent at the ex- treme southwest corner of the dam. This bent is nine feet long, and a number of sheet piles along its face were broken and forced in by the water, due to the head of 19% feet. The sheet piling here, Major Davis says, had been carelessly driven, the joists being open and the piles somewhat split. The contractors did not sink the crib through the bed of silt to the solid rock, but allowed it to rest in the upper part of the silt stratum, about six or eight feet above the rock. Outside of the crib the triple sheet piling was driven to the rock, but under the conditions noted yielded un- der the pressure, and the dam failed. : More Piling. The contractors propose to drive another row of sheet piling on the outside of and around the west end and part of the north and south sides of the dam, but owing to the bags of cinder, clay, bundles of hay, etc., that have been put down on the out- side to puddle the dam, this work will be attended with difficulty. The original time for the completion of the contract was Jan- uary 21, 1895, but subsequently the time was extended to June 1, 189%. During this month the repairs to the dam will be con- tinued, and another attempt made to pump it out. —————e Transfers of Real Estate.
