Colonel Hams Annual Report on the
ImnrOypmenfs

Colonel Hams Annual Report on the
Improvements.
The annual report on the Potomac flats
improvement has been made by Colonel
7, G. Hains, to Major Post acting Chief
of Engineers. Colonel Hams, after re-
viewing the condition of the flats before
the Improvement was begun, goes on
with his regular report. ~. ".
The flats between the sewer canal and
Easby's Point have been left untouched
during the past two years, owing to the
dispute over the title TO the property
Colonel Hams believes that sufficient
work should be done to protect the inn.
provement already accomplished. On
the portion between the sewer canal and
the Long Bridge the flats adjoining the
causeway. We're raised to an average
height of 9 feet above mean low tide.
The work was completed November 80
last. About three-fourths of the tidal
reservoir has been excavated.
On the east side of the embankment the
construction was continued and 2i3, 502
cubic yards of earth were deposited.
{ About 100000 cubic yards were dredged
from the Washington channel and
deposited on the flats. The total excava-
tion during the year amounted to 1,l92,-
l12 cubic yards, q total of q, sos, l66 cubic
f1hluo Nbl'OoitNh NhG INNS
This is moret than half the entire work at
total expenditure of 81 ,2i7, ,494.90, less
than one-half the estimated cost. The
total area reclaimed from overflow at
ordinary high tide is 5i4 acres, and the
channels have been deepened TO twenty
feet at low tide and widened 500 feet
Colonel Hains calls the attention of
Congress to the urgent necessity of doing
something with the sewer that empties
into the sewer canal at the foot of Seven
teenth street.
The cost estimated for the finishing OF
the improveT lent is stated at II Al 1865,
and the AMI ual cost of preserving and
maintaining, 5000. The available
balance for the work is $2J,535, and
S224, ,s26.60 is covered by existing con.
tracts. It. is stated that 5000, 600 can
proftably be expended in the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1890.
The report also gives in detail the his.
tory of the Aqueduct bridge reconstruc-
ton, which has been given before in TIKI
Critic, and gives the correspondence be.

A Narrow Gauge Tine TO Falls Church
Proposad,

The Georgetown Citizens Association
held their regular monthly meeting last
night at Association Hall. The greater
part of the time was given up to the dis.
Cussion Of the proposed new narrow
gauge line to Falls Church.
committee from Falls Church, headed
by DR.. N. H. Graham, were in attendance,
and the project of the new road was laid
before the citizens of the town.
Dr. Graham said the people of Falls
Church had applied for and obtained the
charter, and the company had been regu-
larly organized, with president vice.
president, secretary, and seven directors
out Of nine had been chosen, The sum
necessary to make the charter good,
$4,000, had been all subscribed and per
cent. paid into the treasury. lie said II
had been their intention at first to build
the road by themselves, and IL was esti-
mated that S5j, 900 would build and equip
IL as far as Falls Church. But, If possible,
they desired 10 extend IL as far as the
Great Falls The charter gives them the
right To q line of road In Alexandria
County opposite the District of COlum-
hia, with terminus anywhere between
the Long Bridge and Georgetown.
Their proposition TO the citizens of
Georgetown was that if they should take
