the plan for a four-foot main was adopted
and tie work was carried into effect.
The fishermen of the District and others
interested in the clearness of the river
water will always remember General Casey
for his invention of a method of accurately
determining the relative clearness of the
stream. These figures are daily reported
in The Star. and are Of great benefit to
those who frequent the upper river.
In June. 1878. Col. Casey made report
to the chief of engineers recommending
the erection of a dyke along the western
edge of the Potomac flats to improve the
sanitary condition of the city. This was
the beginning Of the great river improve
ment protest that has since been consum-
mated. After the patent office fire. in
1871, President Hayes made General Casey
member of the board to examine all of
the public buildings of the city to deter
mine the extent of their security against
fire., and he was also associated with the
work OF reconstructing the patent office.
The New Library Building.
In October, 1883, Congress placed him in
charge Of the construction of the new
Congressional Library building and later,
IN anticipation OF his retirement from the
active service of the army, a special pro-
vision was enacted which continued him
in that duty until its completion, or, as
the results proved, until his death. His es-
Inmates for the cost Of this building prom
expense, and it was less than a fortnight
ago that General Casey assured n reporter
for The Star that the building would be
ready for occupancy on the very day that
he promised at the beginning, February 2S.
1897.
In 1880 General Casey was made mem
Der of the Rock Creek Park commission
and in 1888 he was placed OH the commits
sion on suburban highways in the District.
May 10. 1888 he was placed on the retired
LIST CT the army. having shat day reached
the age Of siXty-four Years, the limit plac-
cd by law on the active service of any
officer
General Casey was member of the
Massachusetts, Society of Cincinnati since
lss2, and of the National Academy of
Sciences since 1890, and in January, 1890,
President Carnot of France caused his
name to be inscribed in the Legion of
Honor as an officer of that noted body.
General Casey has written many articles
OF great value and interest on engineering
subjects, and his reports are in constant
use by engineers and other authorities as
works Of reference.
General Casey leaves a widow and two
sons. Capt T. l.. Casey of the army. now
stationed at Norfolk. and Mr.. Z. Pierce
Casey. an architect of New York, who has
been associated with his father in the con-
struction of the library building.
