WILSON RECOMMENDS PROVISION Operations During the Year on Local Engineering Works. THE MEMORIAL Se BRIDGE Gen. Wilson's annual report, made public today, contains a number of chapters re- lating purely to local works. “Measurements of the daily and hourly consumption and waste of water were made on June 22-23 and 28-29, 1898, and a mean of the two results gave the da!!y con- sumption as 47,288,733 gallons, an increase above that of the preceding year. Busec upon an estimate of 264,302 consumers of Potomac water, this corresponds to a per capita daily consumption and waste of 170 galions. Based upon a population of 280,- 782 in the district of Columbia, as deter- mined by the police census taken in April, 1897, with an estimated increase in popula- tion of 3,000, irrespective of their source of water supply, {t corresponds to a daily per capita of 168 gallons. “An extensive serigs of gaugings by cur- rent meter observations in the conduit at two stations discloses the fact that at the lowest stage of the Potomac, with ai de- posits removed from the conduit anc distributing reservoir about two feet its present level (146 feet above datum), the conduit is capable of discharging into that reservoir abou This represents the ultimate capacit the conduit, and the present daily sumption is about per cent of amount. Ten rs > it was but cent of the same amount. The nec therefore. fer the construction of a conduit betw Great Falis and the dis- tributing re oir is only a question of time. and I strongly recommend that pro- vision be made for this work in the near future. “The new conduit should be completed and ready for operation before the daily consumption equals the maximum eapacity of the present conduit. To make the pre- liminary surveys and plans, acquire the necessary lands and construct the conduit will involve operations extending over sev- eral years; therefore the inauguration of this work should be ao longer deferred, The officer in charge states that estimates for the preliminary operations will be submits ted in the next annual report. The trunk rains leading to the city, however. are al- readv overtaxed in supplying the present consumption of a little more than 47,"100,000 gallons per day, and every increase ‘n their Yolume of flow will be marked } decr-ase in pressure in those | city supplied by gravity alone. therefcre, that while the conduit Is c of supplying nearly 30,000,000 gal! day In excess of the pre: rate sumption, the trunk mains will rece litle benefit from the f:creased d of the conduit until some method fs pro- vided for bringing an additional supply of water from the distributing reservoir into the city. An expert commission was appointed to meet in Washington in December, 1805, to report upon the feasibility of completing the tunnel conduit. After a careful study of the subject and a thorough inspection of the tunnel conduit and the works con- nected therewith the commission submit- ted its report. The estimate of the board for completing the tunnel w and stimate of Colonel Gaillard for com- the Howard University rese The completion of th ervoir is an essential part of this s The following estimates are submitted for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1900: For completing the Washington aqueduct tunnel according to the estimate of the board of experts, $303,410; for completing the Howard University reservoir accord- ing to the estimate of Colonel Gaillard, $198,013.30: total, $501,423.30. During the past year, not including the occasions when the water level was low- ered by the supply being shut oft for the purpose of making repairs or of removing deposits from the conduit, the extreme fluctuation of water ievel in the 4 but- ing reservoir had a range of but 0.45 foot, as against 1 foot for the preceding year. All deposits were rem duit, and the interior was carefully and swept. The officer in charge that it is now an easy matter to k conduit clean deposit! An inspection of the entire interior of the conduit shows that none of the cracks plastered up in 1896 have reopened and that no new ones have developed. The Memorial Bridge. In regard to the proposed memor bridge across the Potomac from the nz observatory grounds to the Arlington ¢ tate, General Wilson says: ‘A preliminary estimate made by Colonel Allen shows that u bridge at the locality with masonry piers and steel superstr ure, capable of ornamentation, having three fixed spans and one draw span with roadway of forty feet width and two s waiks, each ten feet In width, and with approaches affording the same width of travel way, can be built for about $1,385,000. “I concur in the opinion of Colonel Allen, however, that the character of bridge should not be definitely decided upon until after the subject has been given further study and calculations and estimates have been made, in order to admit of compari- son as to economy, architectural merit, and utility, If all the work incident to the vroper study and determination of the mat- ter is done by the engineer department a further appropriation of $5,000 will be need- ed, but to invite competitive designs and estin to ve submitted in accordance with generat specifications prepared under the direction of the engineer department, which is the preferable course, the sum of $8,500 will be required to defray the neces- sary expenses, including prizes.” General Wilson bridges as follows: Plans are submitted for a bridge across the Eastern branch of the Potomac, in line with Massachusetts avenue extended east- ward, with fixed spans and having a total length, including approaches of 2,517 feet, and width of fifty-two feet between rail- ings and the cest of {ts construction is estimated to be $441,208. Tne plans pro- vide accommodations for ordinary highway traffic and for street car tracks, as re- quired by the law; also for the construc- tion of a draw should one be required in the future ‘The estimated cost of a bridge with a draw (swing span on a pivot pier) is $476,- 845, but the necessity for a draw is not now apparent. Colonel Gaillard submitted designs and estimates for both the stone arch bridge and steel bridge with stone foundations at the locality indicated. The estimated cost of a stone arch bridge over Rock creek at Massachusetts avenue 545 and for the steel bridge, $190,204. General Wilson says: “In transmitting this report I beg to state that in my judg- ment the interest of the public, the dura- bility and permanence of the structure, as well as harmony with the apparent future conditions at the locality, will be best se- cured by the construction of the stone arch bridge at the site selected; then, too, the very material difference in the expense for maintenance and repairs leads me to think that in the end a stone bridge will be the more economical structure.” Work on the River. During the past fiscal year a part of the old sea wall along the Washington channel at the lower end of the flats was relaid. A small amount of dredging was also done in the Virginia channel. No dredging of importance having been done in the Virginia channel since 1894, the depth above Long bridge has decreased in places, owing to deposit of material from freshets, and, as a result, deeply-laden ves- sels bound to or from Georgetown are obliged to wait for the flood tide, or to lighter, in order to be able to proceed to their destinations. Dredging will remedy this. The sum asked for the fiscal year ending June 20, 1900, 1s to be applied to ‘work in furtherance of the project. The amount (estimated) required for comple- tion of existing project is $668,020; the amount that can be profitably expended in the fiecal year ending June 30, 1900, $100,000. The false work, which during the work of reconstruction of the Aqueduct bridge was ed from t reports “p the by annual removals of the speaks of other local to support the ends of the two spans rest- ing on the pier, was repai The coffer- dam was also repaired afid pumped out. The trestle towers of the false work, which Test upon the crib work ef the cofferdam, were blocked up by means of square piles driven to the rock and capped and secured to the crib, and by blocking between the cermb timbers. On account! of the war be- tween the United States and Spain, and the probability that the Aqueduct Bridge might need to be kept fully open for the maxi- mum traffic of which it was capable, it was considered advisable to temporarily s pend the work of removal of: pier No. = The contractors said they constdered them- selves absolved from performing any fur- ther work, and withdrew thetr employes from the care amd maintenance of the cof- ferdam and false work of the bridge. The contract was annulled, by’ authority of the department, May 27, 1808. In May the ends of the bridge spans were substantially and securely blocked up with rubble masonry lafd in Portland cement mortar and the granite bridge seats and the shoes replaced. After the masonry had substantially set the ends of the spans were lowered into position. This work of blocking up, etc., was done by hired labor. ‘The balance available is $57,285.12. Defenses of Washington. In regard to the defenses'of Washington, D. C., Gen. Wilson says “At the close of the previous fiscal year emplacements for three ten-inch guns on disappearing carriages had been compieted and the guns mounted, and operations were in progress upon an additional emplace- ment for a ten-inch gun on disappearing carriage, and for three emplacements for eight-inch guns on disappearing carriages, the latter by contract under the provisions of the act of June 6, 1896. At the close of the fiscal year all the foregoing emplacc- ments were completed and the guns mounted ready for service. “Two sections of experimental parapets Were constructed, cne of sand with a re- taining wall of steel rails; the other of the type form, with a view to testing their relative efficiency under the fire of a ten- inch gun. “A concrete cable tank was built during the year and a torpedo storehouse nearly completed for the storage of cable and other material required for the submarine mire defenses. “Emplacements for two ten-inch guns on disappearing carrioges were authorized. At the close of the fiscal year the ten-inch emplacements were well advanced and y for their armament. The emplace- s for two fvtr-inch rapid-fire guas nearing completion and their arma- ment was being put in position. “Submarine mines were planted in the channei, and the mine fields patrolled and kept in effective condition.” White House and Parks. The Executive Mansion received the usual care and such repairs and Improvements as the funds available would admit. Every ef- fort has been made to maintain the Wash- ington Monument and its machinery in g00d condition. At the propagating gardens and nursery repairs were made to the greenhouses and other buildings, about 500,000 plants propa- gated for use in the public parks, and a new greenhouse constructed.

THE ANNUAL REPORTS SUBMITTED Welcoming Address by Commis- sioner John W. Ross. REMARKS BY DR, STAFFORD The twenty-fovrth annual convention of the Catholic Young Men’s National Union began this morning with the celebration of sciemn hig. mass at St. Patrick’s Church shortly before 10 o'clock. The visiting del- egates, several hundred in number, her- ed at Carroll Institute Hall at 9:30 o'clock, and proceeded in a body to the sacred ¢d- ifice. At the conclusion of the church service Dr. D. J. Stafford spoke briefly to the young men, welcoming them to Washirg- ten on behalf of the church, and impress- ing upon them the gcod that may come from their efforts. The Catholic Church in the United States, like the country itself, Dr. Stafford declared, is in a transitory state, and it will require all effort possible to keep pace with its development. The church needs faithful and dutiful priests and loyal, energetic laymen. It was after 11 o’clock when the conven- tion was formally called to order by the president, Rev. William T. McGuirl of Brooklyn. Mr. Edward J. Hannan, pres- ident of the Carroll Institute, welcomed the delegates, declaring he hoped their stay in Washingion would be as_ bri nd Pieasant as the morning of their rival. He introduced Commissioner John W. Ross, who was greeted with applause. Commissioner Roxs Bids Welcome. Mr. Ross sald it occurred to him the pe- in culiar form of government obtaining Washington might be of interest to a bo of young men studying political and social questions, ard so he briefly outlined the power of the District Commissioners, of Congress, the plan of taxation, &c. Wash- ington, he said, is proud of her educational i His allusions to Georgetown y, the Catholic University and Archbishop Keane elicited enthtsiastic ap- plause. Mr. Ross said the Catholic young men cam> to Washington at a time when the nation rejoices, and he hoped their stay here would be so pleasant that they will want to come again in the near futur>. President McGuirl expressed thanks on behalf of the convention for the hearty welcome, and a rising vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Ross and tha Carroll Institute. Father McGuirl led in prayer. He after- ward anyounced that the apostolic delegate, Mgr. Martinelli, would visit the convention this afternoon at 3 o'clock, and that Mgr. “onaty would be present tomorrow morn- ing. Cablegram to the Pope. On motion a committee was appointed to send a cablegram to Pope Leo XIU, asking his holy blessing on the convention. A committee on resolutions was appoint- ed by the chair as follows: Ed. J. Han- nan, Washington; Father J. J. Murphy, Boston; Frank P. Cunnion, New York; Mr. Bonniwell, Philadelphia; P. F. Driscoll, Al- bany; Mr. Rodgers, Brooklyn; John J. Ble- witt, Newark: Patrick J. Murray, Provi- dence; John M. Higgins, Richmond. Committee on credentials—Messrs. Coyle, Washington; Blewitt, Newark, and James Borden, Brooklya. Assistant secretaries—F. J. Keller, Bos- ton iward P. Winne New York. Mr. Hannan, chairnan of the commit on urrangen announced the amuse- Ment progrsm for the entertainment of the delegates while in the city. The idea of a reception at the White House has been abandoned on cecount of the absence of Presiécnt McKinley at the Philadelphia peace jubilee. An entertainment by the Carrol! Institute Mirstrel Club wiil be given this evening and a public eption will be held on tom day morning the visitors will go out to the Catholic University, and the same afé- erncon a trip down the Potomac to Mount Vernon will be mz An entertainment by the Knights of St. Augustin No. 2 will be given Thursday n‘ght at Carroll Hall on G street. A vote of thanks was ten- dered the knights. President McGuirl'’s Report. President McGuirl next read his report, which was in part as follows: “The year just ended has not been a re- ‘ow evening. Thurs- Kably active one for the National Union. Our young men hive been, many of them, serving their great country. They have been in camp, they have been at the battle front, and 1ct a few of them are still in the national service. One of our mc bers has immortalized himself for ¢: courage, for zeal, for tremendous self- Tifice in the discharge of duty—I rete! Father Chidwick of the ill-fated but well- avenged Maine. Others have quietly done thelr share toward unv States as the mighty knowledged to be. When war was pro- claimed it became the duty of every Ameri- can to stand by the flag. Accordingly at the annual meeting of comniltteemen to at- range for this convention, in Brooklyn, a message of sympathy, and expressive of feally, was sent to the chief executive of the United States. At the same meeting 23 were passed expressive of the ss felt over the death of Rev, . Mitchell, a former prestient of Uus mon. As far as possible, in the dis- turbed ccnditions prevailing, literature was provided che army and nay; Secretary's Exhibit. Secretary and Treasurer John J. Brady of Albany reported in part as follows- “Today tinds your secretary able to re- pert but little of remarkable advance in the membership of our union. The wide- spread causes which during the past few years have £0 strongly militated against the work, and frequently against the very existence of all societies, have not been re- moved or improved upon, and the sad ef- fects remain. While the efforts of previous years have been bearing much fru't in many localities, our country has been pass- ing through a crisis peculiarly new to the young men of the generation, a crisis which has even more affected and additionally de- pressed the work of young men's asso- clations: War, bitter and deplorable, has stalked through the land, and the vicissi- tudes of the occasion have been calamitous to many. It is a proud boast that many thousands of our young men have hastened to the defense of our national life, and many « noble instance of bravery ani self- sacrifice has been added to the history of our country, which will tell the generations of the future what the Catholic young men of this land and time did to save and per- petuate our institutions. But let it he re- membered that all this has been done at the expense of the efficiency and activity of many of our Catholic societies, the so- ciety work having been largely abandoned and the meeting rooms having been de- serted at least for the present. “In the midst of these difficulties the power and value of our diocesan unions as means of holding societies to constancy of purpose and work has often been manifest, and clearly proves the forethought and val- ued prudence which originally organized and exhorted this form of soctety among our young men 1n the various dioceses.” Father Stafford was invited to make a few remarks.
