TROUBLE WITH pREDGER.
Col. Allen Recommends Annulment
of the Contract.

Col. Allen Recommends Annulment
Of the Contract.
Col. Charles J. Allen, the engineer Off
GER in charge of the improvement of the
Potomac river, has had trouble with Mr..
A. NJ. Clegg, the contractor for dredging
the Virginia channel of the river opposite
this city, and. 1t is understood, has an
nulled his contract In a report to the
chief of engineers on the subject Colonel
Allen says the work of dredging in the Vir-
ginia channel has been practically suspend
ed. The high winds during the early part
of last month, followed by cold weather
and the formation of ice. made 1t imprac-
ticable to operate the dredge before the
18th ultimo. Since that date, however, the
weather has been favorable and the river
free from Ice. The dredge was started up
on that day, but ran only about one and
cne-haif hours. On the 14th ultimo it was
run two hours and three-Quarters, when q
break occurred in a coupling on the shaft
that runs the cutter This was not repair
ed until the 21st. when another attempt
was made to resume work, but 1t was
found impracticable to raise the spuds with
the WORKOUT hosting appliances. On the
I'D the dredge was again started, and was
run In an unsatisfactory manner for two
hours and quarter. when the shafe
coupling broke for the second time, and no
apparent effort has since been made to re-
pair 1t or resume work
during the six and half hours the
dredge was run during February Colonel
Allen says, no apparent Roadway was
made. and the amount of material exca-
waited was SO small that it was difficult to
estimate 1t.
The experience of more than two
months" says Colonel Allen, shows the
plant to be inefficient and without the ca
pacity or power to do the work called for
by the contract. The pump is small and
badly worn; the boilers are leaky and seem
TO be beyond repair; the hosting gear for
raising and lowering the suction pipe and
cutter Is worn out; there are no adequate
means for raising the spuds, and the rub
bers connecting the discharge pipes on the
pontoons are nearly worn out. Under date
or February q the bondsmen on the con-
tract were officially notified of the slow
progress made by the contractor. February
20 special report was submitted to the
ch1ef OF engineers upon the status of this
work, and the failure of the contractor to
carry on the same in accordance with the
provisions Of the contract, and annulmant
OF the contract was recommended. In view
OF the foregoing it is not likely that any
