depth OF about twenty-five or twenty-sx feet over

the extreme eastern and narrow end OF the island II

compact
70. That beneath the fine sand stratum lies the
coarfe sand gravel and boulder stratum, which
was passed through at No. 70 ahe coarse sand
stratum"
specially invite the attention of gentlemen
to the last conclusion. / regret that the gentle
man from Wisconsin (Mr. Wsshburn) is not pre-
sent to hear the final conclusion of this report,
made subsequently to that 70 which he invited
our attention.
~. That with such material 1t is not necessary to
use any pAng for such Hachine-sh0ps and ma
chnery abound in Philadelphia, nor for machine
shops buildings OF the heaviest description: that
proper foundations may be laid on an average about
six feet below the surface OF the fine sand stratum
that for the heaviest trphammers, for the heaviest
trains OF rolls, and for launching-ways 1t may be
necessary TO drive pling to the stratum OF sand,
gravel, and boul sers. This opinion, In my mind,
amounts to conviction.
