tides. but the chute used is not adapted TO the
work.
The work OF dredging and forming embankment
along the Virginia channel side OF section Ill under
first contract with f. c. Somers, was likewise slow.
Fair progress was made In dredging along the
Washington channel wall line on section Ill the
amount dredged being IL, 263 cubic Yards
The work OF dredging and embanking On the
small tidal reservoir was commenced November L.
The embankment is to be held In place by a timber
CRIB or revetment, but owing TO the delay In OBJ
tainng timber only a small amount OF dredging
has been done. Under contract with the Potomac
red sandstone company 5.19S cubic yards OF stone
have been delivered and put In place along the
III and along the wall line OF Washington channel
