THE WORK ON THE AQUEDUCT.
Estimates of the Engineers Sent to
the Commissioners.

The estimate for the maintenance of the
IVA shington Aqueduct,' compiled under
the direction of the chief OF engineers Of
the Army, has been forwarded by the
War Department TO the Commissioners.
II calls for a total appropriation of s46,
900, s against $4,000 appropriated last
year. The items of the estimate are: For
engineering maintenance aud general re-
pairs, $4,000; for repairing the north
connection of the by-conduit, Dalecarlia
reservoir. $4,000: for repairing Conduit
road, $4,000; for building combined store
house and stable at Great Falls, $4,000;
for purchase or condemnation of site for
a storage yard, $4,000, and for protec-
ton To the inlet to the conduit al Great
Falls, $4,000.
In explanatory notes occurs the fol-
lowing: The Dalecarlia reservoir has been
In bad condition for several years, and
is considered too dangerous TO permit
men to enter for the purpose OF clea ming
it. In order to render it fairly efficient
the entire north connection and the Por-
ton of the by-conduit adjacent to 1t must
be rebuilt, and an estimate is accordingly
submitted for the Work.
A special estimate is submitted for re-
pairing Conduit road. A storehouse and
stable is needed for shelter and protection
to the valuable Government property stored
at Great Falls.
A convenient storage yard is needed at
the aqueduct office, in which TO place
castings and machinery required for re-
pairs. The inlet to the conduit at Great
Falls should be protected by a masonry
wall to prevent injury to the water sup
ply by freshets and floods in the Potomac
River.
