Battery, built Of concrete, that and tho wall In
condition which requires your early attention and
tho following statemont as tho result Of my cIoao
aud careful examination oft.
Tho faco Of the wall in somo places show largo
cavities, and in othara Ia much honey-combed.
The depths or the openings ut some points are
much creator than ut otherB and, from the largo
Quantity Of sand which with oye tide is carried
e.rth embankment itselt Of which the concrete
work tho sNiS vail Every tide
close inspection Of ono cavity estimate that from,
II % 10 CUBIC yards Of the earthwork have beon
ceived by the rapid settlement and sinking Of tho
surface Of the shell walk in Two or three places.
From timo to time grcat many loads Of good
ling the walk, under the Bupposlion that this set-
uenont was but ordinary and not caused from
some defects in tho retaining wall; but thorough
would therefore be but waste Of good material TO
refill and reform tho bank until We can repair tho
Tie shapes of OF tie he; c.vites are Of much lorger
dimensions iaterally than yorticalIy, and the ae.
stLnetion caused by The tide water, together with
more along the base Of the wall than eiseWbelss.
This Is 70 BIO accounted for particularly in tho
tide upon the wall at that point OF elevation. s
The cavities higher up on the face Of the wall
are cirotlar In shape and from two TO three feet in
olhmeter, and the wear at those places Ia moro
rapid in the depth than Il is latera1iy.
lresP2otiully recommend some Immediate action

manner; OF doing the repairs will be drawn up and
proposals for the work received.
