It is understood, however. that the city
agrees to give, and the landholders agree to
accept, an equal area of land directly in rear
OF the land TO be eeded. The United States are
expected to pay the expenses OF moving back
or putting up again on the new sites the
several establishments now existing. and OF
building wharves along the new river front.
From Information recently received it is
thought that the aggregate claim for damages
will amount to about S75, 600.
ASST tant Engineer s. L Fremont estimates
that the strip Of land must be cut away to a
depth OF about twenty feet. This would be
equal to volume of 106, 200 cubic yards Of
material
He further estimates that in order to gain
the desired depth Of water along the city front
on a length of about 1000 feet, about $50, 600
cubic yards of material must be removed.
The aggregate amount Of material to be re-
moved by excavatiDg or dredging is therefore
$4,000 cubic yards. and the cost of its removal
will be about $4,000. This is expected to give
low water depth of twenty-five feet on the
city side OF the river, so that vessels can load
to their full draught and move from wharf to
wharf at any stage of tide without grounding
while the rest OF the channel win have depth
of only twenty-five feet at high water.
1t is not to be expected that a deep pool or
basin thus artihcialy formed will msintain it
self perfect by the mere strength Of the cur
rents and occasional dredging will be neces-
sary after it has been established.
Another improvement may be mentioned
here When the land on Hutchinson's Island
shall have been cut away, and the new front
lined with wharves. it will before long become
desirable to extend the line of bulkheads on
that side to near the lower end of Fig Island.
The present excessive widths and irregularities
of shore line opposite the city win then disap-
pear, the tide currents will be guided eS if by
regular training walls on both sides, and the
maintenance of the increased depth of the
harbor will he greatly facilitated and rendered
less expensive. AS part of the general plan
Of Improvement the immediate construction of
at least two wing DAMS reaching from the
north shore out nearly to the new bulkhead
line, is deemed necessary. and has recently
been recommended and approved. Perhaps
third one will also be required at an early day.
Beyond this and the dredging above mentioned
the General Government should not expend
shy more money opposite the city front, as the
completion of the bulkhead line on the north
side will doubtless be undertaken by private
enterprise as soon as additional wharfage
facilities are needed on that side of the stream.
These three wing dams will cost about S25, GOO.
The cost Of improving the river in front OF
the city is therefore estimated at $19s,0OO, viz:
Amount of claims for damages ...... SIS. 600
Excavation and dredging. ............. $4,000
Three wing dams from Hutchinsoa's

ESTIMATE OF AGGREGATE ocsr.

It Is submitted that the works hereinabove
described with such modification in the num-
ber location and magnitude thereof as expe-
rience and observation may suggest during the
process Of construction, will be required in
accomplishing the improvement contemplated
in section of the river and harbor act ap-
proved March 3, 1881.
Their aggregate cost. including land damages
in addition to existing appropriation, is esti-
mated at $730,000
An economical construction Of the works
still required for improving Savannah river
and harber seems TO require the continuation
of the system recently inaugurated, that is,
that government should do the work itself
wherever practicable with the plant already
provided. Operations can then be carried on
continuously, and special modes of construc-
ton can be introduced from time to time, when
ever it may be thought to be desirable
There has been appropriated for the i'm
provement of Savannah river and harbor since
the project of August 28, 1873, was submitted
the sum of $4S20 ; and there has been ex-
pended to December 81 1881, including out
standing liabilities, the sum of $685., 355
Regarding the question of the benefits that
will accrue to commerce and navigation by
completing the work of improving Savannah
river and harbor according to the project here
with submitted, beg leave to refer to the re-
marks made on that point in my annual report
to the Chief of Engineers for the fiscal year
ending June 30. 1881, as well as to preceding
annual reports.

Editor Register: By your permission
| desire to ask two or three questions
relative to the granting of whisky
licenses in Point Pleasant and else
where in the county by our Commits
sioners: LIST, Who or what influenced
the change of our attitade to the
liquor traffic? So far as could ascer-
tain, the citizens of the county gen.
orally were satisfied with the no
license system; am sue the
sober and law abiding were. Then
why this change? Surely some
whisky man must have set the mat
ter on foot. We are anxious to know.
If the license plan is right and is to
prove ultimately blessing to the
people, We want the eof the man
"to whom honor is due" SO as to ex-
tol his patriotism, and consign him
to peace among the heroes of the
age. Cd. Which of the Commission
ers went back on his record2 Mr..
Brown, We are told, was not present
when licenses were granted; then
was there an understanding between
the other two? if SO, which sacrificed
his principles and covered under the
lash of the rum tyrant2 Or was the
action Of said Commissioners the first
of last May ever rescinded at all?
What does the record show? Will
some one who knows please answer

pleted, the road has too much merit

In this weeks paper will be found
complete list of bills passed up to
last week by the Legislature. The
session has been a long one, but we
presume unavoidably SO. Our con.
stitution provides for biennial ses.
sions, but for some reason we have
been having annual sessions most Of
the time. If this Legislature shall
place our laws in such shape that
hereafter only annual sessions will
be necessary, then the people will
cheerfully overlook the present long
term.

Congress.

1t is said this is about the dullest,
most unimportant session Of Con.
gress we have had since the war
The people are full Of railroads,
building, raising crops, specializing,
thinking of everything except about
what Congress is doing. No exciting
speeches are made predicting in ter,
rible language the destruction of the
country, if such and such measure
is not adopted, no patent office re.
ports are being sent out with that
free "who cares for expenses" style
that prevails some years, even garden
seeds are not being planted in agri-
cultura! bosoms Of constituents with
that liberality they sometimes are,
for people have other matters TO en-,
gage them, and then this is an of
year in politics. If we could only
have more of years, we would have
more business and less political ex.
citement and waste Of time.
