would abandon all attempts at piing,
as believe any fresh work in that line would
only have tendency to break the crust which
by this time may have formed hOmoge-
neOus mass over the long treacherous
stratum underneath, and I would recon-
mend instead the less expensive plan of rip
rapping the front with wall of loose rock,
which we have near at hand, and then ill
in behind this with ballast from the adj
joining ballast piles. This work would re-
suit i'll retaining the street. which Is now
abandoned, and be also great benefit to
the adjoining wharvss in atfording more
freight room.
The work should be undertaken without
delay, as we may look for q rise in the
river in few weeks and it must be begun
in time to secure the foundation Of the !
proposed rock wall.
The whole work can be accomplished,
think, for $500, as per estimate aceompa-
