THE WASHINGTON AoUEDUCT.
WASHINGTON, Mar. 4-The con-
gressiunal COMMITTEES TO investigate
charges Of fraud in the construction
OF the new Washington aqueduct
have made a report, in which they
say beyond all question, substantially
the whole and every part of the
lining of the tunnel is absolutely and
enormously defective, and that it is
scarcely too much TO say there is
hardly any continuous length of ten
feet in the whole lining where the
backing, particularly over the arch OF
the line, is not either absolutely want
ing or only partly filled, or when fully
filled in, SO badly constructed as to
make the whole backing of the lining
entirely worthless.
They say it would take nearly ST.
100000 to put the tunnel in good
shape, and recommend that it be
abandoned and iron pipe substituted
at a cost of S500,000.
