IN THE RIVER.
The pumping station is to be located
| near the Eastern Branch, at the foot of
| New Jersey avenue. 1t may be placed
| in the center of the avenue where there
! is now dock, or on land on either side
! From the pumping station the sewage will
pass through a triple line of forty-eight
| inch cast-irOn inverted siphons laid be-
meath the bed of the Eastern Branch to
| Poplar Point. Here the siphons will
! connect through an entrance chamber with
| the outfall sewer.
This sewer. starting from Poplar Point,
| will take direct course to the highway
| crossing of the Alexandria Branch OF the
| Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Immediately
| north of the insane asylum grounds, where
| it will pass underneath the railroad track
| and around the houses to the east of 1t,
| so as to enter the asylum grounds on the
| plateau near the river bank. Through
| these grounds the sewer has been located
near the shore of the river, keeping as
| much as possible in the plateau, so as to
| be IN cutting. Thence the line skirts the
| right OF way of the Alexandria Branch
| Railroad on its eastern side, to a point
about $40 feet from Poplar Point
| where it passes again to the west side Of
the railroad. From this crossing it con-
| tinues parallel with the railroad to a
point about 3 900 feet from Poplar Point,
where, with two reflections, it turns to
| the proposed sewer outlet at the first
! projecting point in the river bank north
| OF the naval magazine.
From the chamber at the terminus OF the
outfall sewer, two forty-eight inch cast
| iron outlet pipes will be laid to the edge
| OF the channel about 500 feet from the
shore. The channel ends of these pipes will
| be protected by crib work, weighted with
stone and supported on group Of piles
the whole being at such depth as not 10
| interfere with vessels.
