THE UNION DEPOT WALL.
The Engineer Omcers Report on tn
Thickness Required.

The controversy over the retaining wall
which the Washington and Georgetown
Railroad Company has to biuld to prop up
the large section of Georgetown-now some
what endangered by excavations that are
being made for a union passenger station
ended today by the company's being given
permission to go ahead with the construc-
tion of a wall, which shall be in accord
with the specifications contained in a re-
port made by Capt. Burr and Capt. Beach,
engineer corps officers on duty as assistants
to Commissioner Powell.
The company's original proposition was
to put up a wall that should be eleven feet
thick at the base, and to continue of the
same thickness for one-third Of the height
from the foundation to the top Of the ex-
cavation. Building Inspector Brady pro-
tested that such wall would not, in his
opinion. be safe, but failing to convince the
railroad engineers, he recommended that
the whole matter be turned over to the en-
gineer department of the District for re-
port and action, thus removing from his
own shoulders all responsibility. Capts.
Burr and Beach were instructed to investi-
gate and report. Maj. Powell has approved
the report.
The recommendations contained therein
call for a wall of good brick or cement
thirteen feet thick at the base for the high
walls, with concrete filling on the face of
the walls and means for drainage.
