discovered. h x'as soon made 1pba-
rent that : relationship existed between
the width and the depth o. the rive}
such that frequently the desired rcsnlt
could be obtained by regulating lhe
width. when the depth would take chre
Of itself. II also became apparent that
certain lines Of direction were necessity.
II would not do to have too shaP .
curvature. Therefore il became neies-
sary--iiirst, to construct works frat
would ccnfine the current Of the rker
in The desired channel; and--secfd,
to remove the boulders and rocks Iout
Of this channel. In carrying out these
plans form Of dyke was adopted his
year somewhat different from that ised
In previous years. This dyke conIists
Of brush woven in between ulcs.
Seven thousand three hundred and $rty
linear feet Of This work has been bon
structed, and II has proved great kus-
cess.
The rock operations carried on Nur-
ing the last year were on much l}rger
scale than in previous years. I'M the
course Of the Improvement many bo-
rings have been taken which debon-
stratcd the existence of so muchFock
that the machinery and facilities fjr re-
moving this rock were enlarged and
work entered upon commensurate with
the magnitude of the undertaking.
During the year $50 tons of rock
were removed, requiring the drillhg of
3.2O3 linear feet Of blast holes, Al q
5l2 pounds of dynamite.
Operations were also undertaken at
Dutch Gap, looking towards tif en-
largement Of that cutoff. The nbthod
of forcing powerful stream of water
against the bluffs was adopted. This
proved an eminent success, as few
men could wash down great qualities
of the earth, which the current the
river carried off into the deep hobs be-
low. The drills were also uIcd at
Dutch Gap in boring through tlf very
compact clay underlying the fpttom.
This affords a ready means of Busting,
which in its turn makes the dredging
of the material below water a very SIM
pie affair. The widening at Dateh Gap.
the construction of the brush dykes,
and the removal Of the $50 tons of
rock from the channel, constitute work
of great permanence.
Very little attention has been paid to
the deepening of the sand bars by the
temporary expedient of dredging, as ex-
perience has proved this to be such a
useless proceeding; but the whole
work has now been gotten into such
shape that nearly all of the money of
the next congressional appropriation
can ne devoted to the dredging Of these
bars, and this will produce from two to
three feet available draft additional.

BUREAU OF CREDITS.

Among the new and successful ente,
priscs organized in Richmond during u
past year is the bureau of Credits.
This is an institution of incalculable !
vantage, not only to the Wholesale m i
chants. who are subscribers, but also o
responsible retail merchants doing b 4
ness throughout the section which tra e.
with our city. Nearly every jobbc in
this city, as well as several large h. ses
in Baltimore. are members. The main
feature of it is the exchange of inlo ana
ton. Thus, when firm receiy ! an
order from n country merchant wo is
unknown to them, an inquiry Up is
sent to the actuary, who yist' each
subscriber and learns how tlb lerson
inquired for has been payinf b }bills,
and other information bearJg on his
credit. In addition to thijthf a" Bu-
rcau " has the best correspondents in the
several counties of the Staff dong busl-
ness with Richmond. whose hteS arc to
answer all inquiries mad, report all
court records. and to MAXI scini-anntnl
reports on all merchanf " their re-
spective counties. This ) not only a
great protection to our nier nants, but
also to the retailer. as it pr vents ire
sponsible parties from obta ding credit,
which is too frequently to 'e detrlment
of honest men who lfopo, TO pay dol
lar for dollar for all the gods they buy.
To give an idea of tic aHount of bust

The sum Of 3S9.675.41 was expcnd-
ed in improvements, Of which the promi-
nent items are the enlargement Of the
Richmond freight depot, that Of the
round-hoasc At Boulson, certain impor-
tant additions to the shop machinery,
two locomotives and three fIat-cars.
Included IN the current expenses are
the cost Of $50 TOM Of steel rails snd
their fastcnipes, and the cost Of labor
Of rclaying with steel twenty mics Of
track also, the reinforcing, in various
ways, Of the masonry and superstric-
turc Of the wooden bridges.
But twelve miles Of iron rails re-
main in the main track. OF the l,75O
tons OF steel used during the year. LOCO
were laid near its close, and the cost OF
neither this latter amount nor its fastcn-
ings appear in its expenses. To assist
in paying for this we have now on hand
an equal weight Of disused iron rails.
The ton mileage decreased 3 l6-l00
per cent. and the passenger mileage in
creased $500 per cent.
Train mileage has increased, the DIFF
ference being due TO additional trains
run for the accommodation of Ashland.
There were fewer through excursions
than usual.
The debt of the company has been
reduced from year to year by small pay
ments, until it is now about sl25,00O
less than il was ten years ago, and dur
ing the last six years the annual interest
has been reduced by more than $500
lowing to the rate Of interest as well as
the amount Of the debt having been les
scned); whilst during the same period
the annual net profits Of the company
have been year by year increased until
they now amount to about $4,000 per
annum more than they did in 1873.

The above balance was applied to the
payment of interest on the debt, 8 per
cent. dividend on the stock, and part of
the cost of the new iron bridge over
James river. This bridge has been
completed, with the exception Of the
allotment and approach on the north
side. The cost so far has been sl4S,-
263.55, which does not exceed the
original estimate Of Mr.. j. K. kenly,
engineer. The cost has been paid partly
by the sale of bonds and partly out OF
surplus earnings. 1t may reasonably
be expected that the bridge can be com
pleted out of earnings without further
increase Of the debt or interference with
the payment of a regular dividend. The
bonds that matured last April have
been paid. and the company owes no
floating debt.
The steel rails already bought, to be
laid down during the current year, will
steel track all the way.
The following are extracts from SUI
perintendent Kenly's report of the ope-
ration of the road for the year:
