Waterway connecting Puget Sound with
Lakes Union and Washington-The plan
OF this improvement contempiates the
construction of . stnp canal to connect
tho waters Of the lakes with Puget Sound.
A preliminary survey was made under the
appropriation OF 1870. and the work OF the
past season was devoted to q verifcation
OF the surveys and preparation for Sc
curing right OF way. This work was not
begun until March last. and is still In
progress Capt. Symons says that the
procurement OF right Of way is a Work OF
considerable magnitude and expense. ana
II is not possible to tell when It VIII Dc
accomplished.
On the entrance TO Coos bay and harbor
ses.5ss was spent during the year on the
jetty, which had been previously begun,
and in the extension Of the 5etty tram
way to its full length of 1o.S6S feet. The
construction Of the jefty has already nad
q marked effect on the entrance channei,
n maintaining IL al a fixed position and with
a bar depth of from eighteen to twenty
ore feet. Capt. symons thinks the plans
for the Improvement OF Coos bay should
be changed so as TO prepare for vessels
of greater draft than those originally con-
femplated as the Improvement of the en-
trance win make 1t possible for larger ves-
sells to enter the bay.
On Yaquina bay s37o54 was expended
In maintaining bar depth and locating OF
channel which was satisfactorily done.
At Olympia harbor a channel 800 feet
wide and six feet deep at low water was
completed for the entire distance from
deep water in Budd inlet in the southern
limits of the main waterway at the south
line of Second street extended. AS this Is
the southern limit, the dredged waterway
has been enlarged into a basin for the
convenience of boats Ia turning. This
basin Is 800 feet long and haa an average
width of $50 feet and an extreme depth Of
