In reply to your request for in
formation as to the character Ut the
work being done on this river,
Will quote for your Information
an extract from report. by
Capt. Cbas. S. Bromwell, Corps
of Engineers, the district engineer
officer:
"A party was organized during
September, 1902, for the removal
of distractions. Work was COM
menced September II, at point
3 miles from Franklinton ga miles
from the mouth OF the river and
has been carried downstream for
distance of 40 miles. Up to Feb.
10, 1908, upon which date operation
for the season was suspended. there
has been 1919 distractions and 6212
overhanging trees removed, in which
work 1868 pounds Of dynamite had
been used.
Suspension Of work became
necessary owing to high water. The
unexpended balance on hand is
S235. "a, which is insufficient to do
further work. All operations will
therefore remain suspended until
more funds become available. !"
The Bogue Chitto was formerly
in the Mobile. Ala. District, but it
has been transferred to the New
Orleans office. and Is now in the
charge Of Captain Bromwell, who
has the selection and assignment Of
the employees on. works OF im-
provement In his district, subject to
the laws aud regulations affecting
the Civil Service
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,

Dear friend-I enclose YOU a
communication from the War De-

Chltto River. This is all that I am
able to obtain upon the subject.
The report which was made as to
the unexpended balance was remov-
ed by the appropriation In the last
River and Harbor Bill, in 1902,
which became a law at the latter
part of last session. The appro-
priation carried In this bill as l re-
member, it, for the Bogue Chitto
River was 100000 l have Sc
cured appropriations for this river
OF nearly 100000, 90, and had
hoped that the expenditure of this
money would be benefit to the
people OF your section. That it has
been benefit to the loggers and
lumber people there can he no ques-
ton ehould be glad to hear from
the people fully as to their wishes
and desires in the matter of i'm
provement of the commerce upon
this river.
| also would be glad to do what
l can to serve you and them, and /
hope that you will take the matter
up with the people in your neigh
borhood and let me know what their
wishes are.
