Office Chief Of Engineers,

United States Army,
Washington, d. c., June IL, 1897.
Sir-I have the honor to submit
the accompanying copy of report,
dated May 9TH, 1897, with map, by
Maj. James b. Quinn, Corps OF
Engineers, concerning a survey of
Bayou Teche from st. Martinville
to Port Barre, La, called for by
the provisions of the river and
harbor act of June 3rd, 1896.
The plan of improvement pro-
posed provides for securing a G.
foot navigation between st. Mar
tinville and Port Barre, by the
construction of two locks in the
Teche, one to be located below st.
Martinville and the other below
the mouth of Bayou Fuselier, and
contemplates certain other con-
structions and dredging. The cost
is estimated at $245,0S6.
In forwarding the report to this
Office the division engineer, Col.
j. W. Barlow, Corps of Engineers,
stated as follows:
"The magnitude of the commerce
which depends upon the naviga-
ton of the Teche for an outlet JUS
titles a reasonable expenditure for
the improvement of this stream. l
therefore concur in the opinion of
the district engineer that, to the
extent indicated, the Bayou Teche
is worthy of improvement.
Very respectfully, your obedient
servant, JOHN M. WILSON,
Brig. Gen., Chief of Engineers, U.
s. Army.
