Mai. Aliens Report OF Operation,
During Last Month.

Major Charles j. Allen, the engineer off,
Ger in charge of the improvement Of the
Potomac river, has reported that the con-
struction Of the sea wall on the northwest
shore Of the tidal reservoir was continued
during the month Of March. The rip-rap
foundation was leveIed off, and the lower
section of the wall was built to height Of
about 2h feet above low tide for q length
OF $50 feet. On the Virginia channel front,
near Easby's point, $50 linear feet Of wall
were built up in the same manner. The
high northwest winds which prevailed dur
ing the month caused extremely low tide. q
condition very favorable to the work. and
full advantage was taken of it. March 3
an unusually high northwest gale caused
the extremely low tide of feet below Zero
The surplus rip-rap stone placed for the
protection of the embankment, and now no
longer needed, was removed as the work
yards and was deposited on the training
dyke in the Virginia channel The progress
Of the work on the sea wall Is stated as
follows: Completed WALL q, 155 feet: un-
completed wall, 1886 feet Total wall, 3d.
1O1 feet.
The dredging remaining to be done is the
deepening Of the tidal reservoir to the
standard depth Of eight feet, and the com

ed for the discharge Of 1freshets. The inlet
gates also remain 60 W constructed. The

Col. Allen says that, III order to do any
work with the holster now employed 1t is
necessary for the contractors to blast the
wreck into small piecese by the use Of dy-
Mantle. The use Of Q powerful holster, he
says, would enable the contractors to COM
