IMPROVEMENTS IN SOUTH WASHINGTON
Water Street.-The Rirer Channel, dc.-Among
city during the last few years, none are more
striking than the opening Of the streets leading
to the river, and the Improvement OF Water
street, from 9Th, along the river front, to 18th
street. Time has worked wonders here, and
since the opening of 9TH street to the river, some
time before the war, 18th street, once the
leading thorOughfare to the river, has become
almost deserted except as a road to Riley's
wharf, where most of the oysters are and have
always been landed. Here is where our res
tanrant-keepers go daily to purchase their sup
the river are numerous, and, at the rate of
grading which has been going on for the last
year under Commissioner Gunnell, there will
soon be very little Of the old river bluff left.
There is, however, one great evil connected
with these improvements, which seems to have
entirely escaped the attention Of our authori-
river channel with the wash and de-
tTis from the newly cut streets. This
is being done SO rapidly and efectually that
IT'S, Il IL becoming subject OF great soliGitnde to
and particularly SO to the coal and wood deal
ers, who have been driven away from the canal
from this same cause.-the filling up of the canal
by sewage For instance, at the foot OF Ninth
street, which has been lately cut through, there
has formed across the channel a sand bar which,
at low water, renders it impossible for vessels of
even light draft to pass over. IL is by no means
uncommon to see from one to six OF these coal
or wood boats stuck fast, waiting for tide to
lit them or There Is but one way to remedy
this, and that is by running the sea wall out
| further into the channel and building it
higher, to conform to the grade Of Water street.
The season to do this is the winter, when the
tides are not so high; and to save much cost to
the Corporation it should be done at once. Why
not PIT to work the hundreds Of unemployed
men and have this job attended to before the
great industrial Fair takes place? Our river
landings will no doubt be much used during the
progress Of this enterprise, but II the river front
Is left in its present condition the channel will
soon become like our canal, and in q much

canal has taken years to I'LL up.
Water street has been much improved by the
grading and crawling. The paving of the gut
ter and sidewalk on the east side OF the street
has also made it an attractive walk, but the
grade being so much above the sea-wall, the
wash into the river channel from every heavy
rain is very considerable. This ought not TO be
suffered, as our river trade is becoming more
important daily and should the channel con-
tinue to be filed at the present rate, i'm six
months time no vessel above the size Of q row.
boat will be able to get up to our wharves. Let
the authorities investigate this matter at once,
and not loose the laureis they have won i'm ma
king so many fine street improvements, by fill
ing up the river channel.
