Raising of the Dam at Great Falls is Being Continued—Cleaning Out the Conduit. In his last report in regard to the Wash- ington aqueduct, Maj. Davis, the engineer officer in charge, says that the height of | Water on the gauge at Great Falls varied during the month between 148.50 to 148.60, and that the condition of the water as re- gards clearness was excellent. The record- ed condition of the water both at Great Falls and at the entrance to the mains was 36 for the entire month. The numbers from to 46 mean clear water. A. screcn Las been put in place at the mouth of the con- duit at Great Falls. The works of ‘mprove- ment of the Dalecarlia reservoir having been completed by Col. Geo. H. Elliot, cerps of engineers, have been turned over to the officer In charge of the Washington aque- uct, as a part of the aqueduct system. Most of the stone previously stripped at Se.eca have been quarried, the greater part of the work done there during the month consisted of stripping. So far, 630 cubic yards of cut stone aave been quar- ried, leaving 1,079 cuDi¢’ yards yet to -be quarried; 440 cubic yards of cut stone have been laid, leaving 1,278 cubic yards ‘stiil to: be laid; seventeen cubic yards of coping have been quarried out of an estimated re- quirement of 100 cubic yards; 250 cubic yards of coping have been reset, leaving 1,098 cubic yards yet to be so treated; 123 cubic yards of concrete have been put in Place, leaving 307 cubie yards ta be done; 579 cubic yards of riprap have heen put in Place, leaving 1,121 still to-be put in place. Work So Far Accomplished. At the close of the month the dam had been raised to reference 50.5 feet for a distance of 653 feet, and to reference 149.25 feet for an additional distance of nineteen feet. The suspension cableway across the Maryland channel, built by R. H. Hood of Washing- ton, was tested during the month with a load of 10,622 pounds, which was raised at the rate of 267 feet per minute, and con- veyed at the rate of 800 feet per minute. After some minor changes had been made, the cableway was accepted and paid for. Major Davis says that work on the dam and at the quarry will be suspended for the winter in a few days. Cleaning the Conduit. By act approved March 1895, $14,000 Were appropriated for removing the ac- cumulation of deposits in the conduit. From: the nature of the material it was found impossible to clean the conduit prop- erly by sluicing, as provided in the project, and the work is now done by loading this material into tubs and wheeling it to the nearest manhole, where it is hoisted to the surface. For the purpose of removing deposits the water was shut off on November 7 and 19, and turned on again tn each case forty eight hours later, the fall in the distribut- ing reservoir on these occasions being 3.45 feet and 3.20 feet, respectively. On the Great Falls division much less sediment was encountertd than was antici- pated. The total distance cleaned on this division during the month was 8,395 feet ‘the amcunt of sediment removed was 362 cubic yards: the area of the maximum cross-section of this sediment was 4.3 square feet, and the mean cross-section was 1.16 square feet. On the Dalecarlia division the sediment in- creased in quantity above manhole 43. The total distance cleaned on this division during the month was 1,680 feet; the amount of sediment removed was cubic yards; the area of the maximum cross-section of this sediment was 10.86 square feet, and the mean cross-section was $.29 square feet. The total distance cleaned on both divisions was 10,075 feet, and the total amount of sediment removed was 878 cubic yards. The total length of conduit yet to be cleaned 1s five miles. It is proposed to continue the work ‘of cleaning out the conduit whenever the stage of water at the distributing reservoir per- ts. — ea Transfers of Real Estate.

The line proposed will rur from Congress Heights to Lincoln Park by way of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, Hillsdale and Anacostia. It is stated to be the purpose of the pro- moters of the enterprise to build an under- ground eleciric line ®imilar to the system adopted hy the Metropolitan road. A representative of the syndicate which owns the greater part of East Washington Heights sepia a day or two ago that while the syndica’ ‘ants rapid transit and ‘in- tend, if pos to have a line of that sort in operation inside of the ensuing year, they do not intend to include Anacostia in their plan of operations. The idea of this corpor- aticn is said to be to the Pennsylvania Avenue bridge with iis track, if possible, but if the consent of Congr cannot be obtained for this, to build a trestle bridze alongside of the present public bridge. It is stated that a visit was not long since made by a member of the Congress Heights dicate to Mr. Havemyer, the larrest kholder in the East Washington Heights rty, at his home in New York, and y argument used to induce Mr. Have- to become interested in the other me, contemplating a road through Ana- costa, but he refused positively to have any- thing to do with that matter. — Columbia Council.
