concluded that the construction of a needle
gate at the mouth of the sewer would &C
complish the purpose. This needle gate
was to be composed of long strips of wood
so arranged to be vertically elevated at
low tide. and thereby release the impound-
ed sewage, which would flow with great
force through the canal and completely
flush It, The mechanism incident to the
operation Of the needle gate is of necessity
intricate and expensive and as the appro-
pr1ation would not admit of any large
expenditure the idea of erecting such a
gate was abandoned.
How the Flushing is Done
IL was then that the idea of locating SEN
arate nushing gates at the mouth of the
sewer was conceived. Superintendent Nc
como or the sewer department and Mr..
BAN of the engineers office were sent for
and directed to prepare plans for such an
arrangement of flushing gates that would
combine cheapness and durability with sim
plcity and effectiveness. The cuts herein
snow the gates open and closed.
Inc outlet end of the Tiber sewer is thirty
feet wide and eleven feet high. The facade
Is of granite and blue stone masonry An
lron-hlnged axis is supported by bolts
cemented in the wall, upon which swing six
gates. When closed these gates are held
In position by two bolts in each gate ON

before low tide. A projecting platform over
the mouth or the sewer supports q windlass
which Is used in hosting the gates after
they have been opened by disengaging the
bolts. 1t is estimated that between 1000 GOO
and 100000 gallons of water are impounded
by these gates, and when freed PUSHES

When the Tiber Sewer WINS DuiIt
The James creek canal as a sewer outIet
was established under the board of nubIic
works in 1873. The minutes of the board of
July 16, 1873, contain the following order to
the chief engineer:
ALSO to prepare a contract with Messrs
Gallagher & Smith for CONSTRUCTING the
Tiber sewer from its terminus at MARYLAND
avenue and Sd street southwest along line
Of the Washington canal to its junction
with James creek canal; the size and shane

IN Washington is that of Senator Stock
bridge Of Michigan. 1t is large house of
brown stone handsomely carved, with a
tower and roof of red tiles. most elabor-
ately decorated within. Hard woods are
lavishly used. and the walls of some of the
rooms are adorned with friezes composed of
paintings on canvas. The Senator is an art

MAKING A CURRENT.
How the Stagnant Filth Of James
Greek Canal is Moved.
CAPT. POWELLS FLUSHING GATES.
An improvement That Has Made a
Great Change.
THE TIBER CREEK SEWER.

No improvement in recent years has
caused such universal satisfaction as that
Of James creek canal. Three months ago
this place was regarded as disease-breed-
ing spot. Today, owing to the Improve
ments made, the residents in that locality
rejoice in a decided change in the condi-
tions. Shortly after Capt. Powell took
charge of the engineer department of the
District he started on a tour of inspection
for the purpose of becoming acquainted
with the city and it's needs. Among the
first places visited was the James creek
canal 1t required but cursory examina-
ton to assure him that the place demand
ed attention. He found that there was lit
tie or no current in the canal, and the re-
suit was that decayed matter adhered to
the bottom and sides of the ditch, polluting
the water and permeating the surrounding
section with noxious odOrs.
This open sewer begins at the mouth of
old Tiber creek at South Capitol and q
streets, and there the Tiber sewer, which is
the conduit for sewage of lao acres Of the
city. empties into James creek canal. From
Tiber to the Anacostia is over one mile.
Along this open waterway, through popu-
lous precincts. slowly moved this awful
mass Of cholera-breeding sewage. The eff
feet Of this cesspool in winter was bad. but
in summer it had to be smelled to be ap-
preciated.
One thing was certain. Such a condition
of affairs was not conducive to health. On
May 20 the first steps looking to an abate-
ment of the nuisance was made. Capt.
Powell ordered careful Investigation of
the subject and directed his subordnates
to submit reports and recommendations
thereon.
There Was no Current.
This investigation disclosed one thing.
There was not sufficient current in the
canal to take away the deposits of filth
that accumulated on the bottom and sides.
1t was of primary Importance that some
artificial means be provided to bring about
complete flushing. Numerous schemes
were submitted. One was to anchor a
couple of tug boats near the mouth of the
canal and then start their screw propelers
1t was thought that this disturbance would
bring about an artificial current sufficient
to at least remove the deposits at the bot
tom of the canal, which were rising to the
surface every now and then in large masses
and exploding, giving off an offensive odor
IhlS plan, however, was abandoned, and
then the subject OF dredging the canal was
considered, but this latter, as we'll as the
proposition to turn half dozen large hose
into the canal, was given up.
Capt. Powell, IL is said, dreamed about the
canal In those days, so interested was he
In the subject. Whether it came to him
a fact that one morning he arrived at the
District building looking especially happy
and when asked the reason said he had
