II is not unlikely that, as Lieutenant
Colonel {. w. Raymond. engineer in
charge OF the work OF improvement OF
Delaware river and bay, has recently
been appointed a member of the board
Of engineers in New York, he in the near

Colonel Raymond now has an office in

cupias a third Of his time.
In the event of his transfer, an officer
of lower rank in the corps, will take up
the work here. Colonel Raymond would
however, probably continue to have some
official connection with the work Of deep
