THE RECLAMATION OF THE FLATS.
All Of these features Of the drainage system
have the attention of Congress, and are cared
for in the regular annual appropriations, but an
urgent need exists Of immediate attention to
the outlets Of the sewers on the river front and
the reclamation Of the marshes. through which
they must pass. Plans for the new river front
were long ago prepared under your direction
and should be urged upon the attention of Con-
gress at the coming session. The elements arc
simple and inexpensive. The plans cOntem.
plate doing only what the river is doing itself
but too slowly. The work is necessary for the
improvement of the river channel and the dan.
ger to the health of the residents Of the District
may surely be urged as an argument against
further delay.
There is nothing difficult or unusual in the
work to De undertaken. and there is neither
necessity nor propriety in copying blindly from
any other locality. sandy fiat is forming in
front of the city, because the river channel
is wider here than is necessary. We
have only to fill this sufficiently to change II
from marsh to dry land, and protect the border
by an embankment that will not wash away. II
flied a little above high tide it may readily be
kept dry by surface drains and flood valves and
the embankment will keep off the freshets. This
would be the first stage Of the work. The filling
to desirable elevation above tide may be cheap
ly completed, afterwards, in dredging the river
channel, and need not be hurried. The marsh
disappears at the first stage Of the work.
1t is fortunate that we have not to apply the
system of the low countries. Holland needs
land for agriculture, and finds that the bottom
of the sea on her borders makes fertile land
She builds enormous entertainments, strong

under constant supervision, at great peril. The
outer slopes are strongly reverted. and the inner

made by burrowing animals. Powerful pumps
lift the water from the bottom to the surface OF
the sea, first throwing out the sea water and
then, forever after, working to keep the land
dry. Holland has no desire to ill the low ground
So reciaimed-she has nothing to I'LL with, ex-
