was purchased from the contractors upon
completion by them of their work in 1895.
The unexpended balance OF the app.o-
priation, amounting to S4,b9030. was COW
cred into the Treasury.
A full report and estimate OF the cost
of removing all the old masonry OF the
pier from the coping down to the bottom
and rebuilding from the bottom up was
rendered under date of November 80, 1895
and printed as House document No. los,
Fifty fourth Congress, first session. and
in the annual report of the Chief OF Engi-
neers for 1896 page 1856. The cost was es-
timatsd at S65 GOO which sum was appro-
priated for reconstruction of pier No. 4 by
act of Congress of June s. 1896.
A contract for the work of reconstruc-
tion Of that pier was made with the Hous-
ton Construction Company of Philadelph a,
May II, and approved May 2S, 1897. The
total estimated amount of the contract was
$50 600.
The contract work was to have been
completed by November l. 1897, but the
contractors. at their request were granted
an extension of time to June 80, 1898.
The contractors abandoned the work on
the 30th of April 1898. and in consequence
their contract was annUlled May 27, 1898.
For account of this proceeding reference is
made to the annual report for the fiscal
year ending June 80. 1898. War had been
declared by the United States against
Spain, and in view of the expected in
crease in travel across the bridge resulting
from establishment of camps, etc, ii was
not deemed advisable at that time TO un-
dertake a new contract for the work.

bone with a Shiny surface and a SerFated

In reference TO the Aqueduct Bridge,
General Wilson reports 81
In compliance with Senate resolutions
January o. 1898, an examination of the
piers of this bridge was made with the aid
OF diver. A report in detail Of the eX
animation was rendered June q, 1898, and
on the nth of July following an estimate
of the cost Of repairs was submitted. By
act of August Is. 1894 an appropriation of
$5l.070 was made for the repairs. Under
this appropriation piers Nos. ,, 3, 5, 6. l.
| and 8 were repaired by means OF Portland
cement concrete in bags, placed by diver
and the repair Of pier No. was made by
means Of a cofferdam within which new
masonry was laid in a large eroded cavity

work was completed in August 1898.
AS the work Of repairs proceeded II was
! found that the old masonry Of the pier,
which was built about 1888 had not been

was of poor quality. There was also a

| throughout the entire height of the pier
| It was decided that il would be necessary

pose. and il was therefore necessary to ask
