The Work on the River Flats.

Ut Voi- HAMS FUN DECShBER.
Col. P. G. Hams in his report the chief OF engi-
neers OF the operations OF improving the Potomac
river during the month Of December, states that
the dredging and embankment along the margin
OF the large tidal reservoir, under contract with
the D. E. Culver company, Of New York, progressed
more 1avorab.y than during the month OF Novem
Der. The amount OF dredging was l1,549 cubic
yards, the greater part having been done on the
northeast margin IN front OF the monument reser-
walton. An elevator Shute Is being built which It
is expected, Will greatly facilitate the work.
Work on the small tidal reservoir has progressed
slowly. considerable part OF the material
dfedged thus rar Is quite SOFT and in some Instances
the revetment has been forced out OF place in
sequence.
On section III small amount OF work was done
On the nrst contract with f. {. Somers for dredging
and FORMING an embankment along the wall line OF
the Virginia channel. The Ice In the river CAUSED
a Suspension OF this work during the latter part Of
the month. Favorable progress was made on the
second contract with +. C. Somers for dredging
and embankIng along the Washington channel side
through the month, notwithstanding unravorable
weather, amounted to l6,7a4 cubic yards.
The frst Of the TWO hydraulic dredges was prac-
tcaily completed during December, and was placed
In position at the upper end OF the Washington
channel An experimental trial OF the dredge
gives assurance Of It's ability to do satisfactory
work as soon as the machinery Is put in good
working order. The contractors have been hous-
ing a part OF the machinery, and should the
weather permit, IL is expected that the machine
Will commence active work early in January.
PROBABLE OPERATIONS FOR JANUARY.
The work to be accomplished in January will
depend largely upon the weather Dredging will
be continued on the two tidal reservoirs and along
the Washington channel wall line on Section I'LL
II Is not proposed to suspend operations, but to
continue work and push it along as rapidly as the
weather VIII permit.
