Engineer Corps on the survey of the Con-
neoticut river from Hartford to its mouth.
was sent the House, Thursday. He says
that the previous attempts to improve the
river channel by stone piers, etc, have
made it worse, He proposes the removal
of the stone piers, and to deepen the chan
mel on the bars by dredging also to drive
rows of sheet piling to force the water in
to the channel He asked an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for the river, and So, 600
for the bar at the rivers mouth. He
wants $4,000 at once to commence work
with, and to purchase suitable boat to
operate as a scraper. 1t is exceedingly
doubtful whether Congress will vote all
the money asked for.
