The promoters of the Washington end
their enterprise in spite of their apparent
inactivity, but are working silently toward
the contamination of the most important
part of their work. namely, that of pro-
curing the private property necessary to
make their Georgetown entrance on. Nego-
tiations for the purchase of certain pieces
of land have already been entered into grd

Constructing Golfer Dam.
The work on the aqueduct pier recon-
struction is now apparently progressing
slowly, though il is being kept at steadily.
The Importance of a perfect construction
of the Golfer dam compels the contractor to
exercise the utmost caution in his work.
The heaviness of the timbers being used,
the difficulty in handling them and the in
reference that is offered by the current Of
the river, in the middle of which the Golfer
