Progress OF the Work OF Improve-

Progress OF the Work OF Improve-
mont During Last Month.
The monthly report of operations on
the improvement Of tho Potomac river
for January shows that considerable
progress was made in dredging and form-
ing the embankment on the tidal reser-
voir on section Q. A trench Of 100 feet
wide and six foot deep at low water
was dredged along this margin of the
reservoir for 1900 foet. The total amount
Of dredging done was 1889 cubic yards.
But little dredging was done on the small
tidal reservoir near the sewer canal, and
q shute was built for depositing material
behind the preliminary ombankment.
No work was done on the first contract
with I. q. Somers for dredging and
embankment on section 3. The con-
tract will be completed in two weeks,
when the channel will be open for tho
season. The hydraulic dredgo Of Benson
& MoNee was not in complete working
order owing to several defects. The ice
in the river prevented the moving of tho
pontoons on which the discharge pipe
rests. The dredge actually worked Al !
hours and excavated 0,T77 cubic yards of
material, an average of 236 cubic yards
per hour. The material was discharged
through 20 inch pipe distance of about
500 feet from the dredge. The second
dredge, for work on the Virginia channel
is reported as nearly complete. When
ready ii will be placed in tho Washing
ton channel until suitable weather fol
| dredging in the othor channel.
