AT THE BREAKWATER
Colonel Raymond Makes a
Report on the Construction.
IT'S TOTAL COST WAS $6l5,Oa6,O2

WORK WAS COMPLETED LAST
YEAR, BUT BEFORE MAKING A
REPORT "A THOROUGH EXAMINA-
TTON WAS MADE-BEGUN IN
1926.
Colonel C. w Raymond has pre-
pared the final report on the improve
ment of the Delaware Breakwater, to
be submitted TO Bnlgadler-GeneralJ John
NJ Wilson, chief OF engineers. The
work was completed hast year, but be
fore making the repert Colonel Ray
mond has caused to be made a thor
ough examination OF the structure.
The original Delaware Breakwater,
the report states, was formed by two
detached BrealzwaIters, separated by an
interval of 1850 feet, and was begun in
1926 and completed i'm 1869. In 1872,
it was proposed to close the interval
between the Breal1waters, and this was
the project recently competed. The
construction Of the mattress founda-
ton was begun in 1884 and completed
the following year. FROM this time
until 1889 the operations consisted OF
deDositing stone upon this foundation
for the foundation Of the sub-strue-
ture, the total quantity deposited being
lOl,713 gross tons, and the total cost
1856, ,022.22. In 1890, a new project for
the completion OF the work was ap-
proved by the department. Work was
begun in 1891 and was carried forward
each year, except 1894 During the fis-
eel year ending June 80, 1898, the SUI
perstructure was completed The total
cost Of the work, including surveys and
examinations, was $685. ,O36,O2.
The report. after giving a description
Of THE construction, concludes: For
many years previous to its completion,
the Delaware Breal1water farbor was
ccnunually shOaling, and it IS now of
use only for vessels of small draft. It
is a matter of interest to determine the
influence Of closing the interval be-
tween the. old Breal0waters upon the
rate of shoaling in the hanbor, since
engineers of recognized ability have
widely differed with reference to this
question. Since the structure was
raised above high water, the strength
of the ebb currents running parallel to
the general direction of the Break
waters, and therefore, the tendency tC
lsccur, have greatly increased. It ap.
pears that the work during its pro
gress increased the rate Of shoaling in
the western part of the harbor, and d.
minished it in the eastern part. Since
the completion of the work there has
been a decided scour in all parts of ths
harbor, the greatest scour being in real
of the old eastern Breal1water The
work has not been completed Ions
enOugh to permit Of definite conclu.
sions as to final results, but there 1.
reason to hope that the deterioration
in depth which was so long in progress
has finally been checked. The harboi
is so useful for small vessels that th'
> cost Of it's completion seems to hav'
been amply justified.
