THE WASHINGTON AoUEDUCT.
The Work Performed by the Con-
tractors Entirely Worthless.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s-The congres-
sional committee TO investigate charges
OF fraud in the construction of the
new Washington aqueduct have made
report, in which they say beyond all
question substantially the whole and
every part of the lining OF the tunnel
Is absolutely and enormously defect
i've, and that il is scarcely too much 10
say there is hardly any continuous
length OF 10 feet in the whole lining
where the backing, particularly over
the arch of the line, is not either abso-
lutely wanting or only partly filed,
or, when fully filed in, 80 badly con-
structed as to make the whole backing
OF the lining entirely worthless.
They say Ii would take nearly
81 ,ot'0.00o 10 put TIE tunnel in good
shape, and recommend that i be
abandoned and iron pipe substituted.
at q cost of 800 100.
