cepting the water front between the arsenal
and the south line Of N street on the Poto-
mac river and part of the flushing reser-
voir at the foot of 18th street northwest

ileges on the Eastern branch of the Poto-
mac river; one application by the Munroe
Brick Company for wharf abuttng square
1151. which square is the property of the
United States, and the other from the AL
