Locks learned Of her departure. and. 1t Is
said, went to her mother and stated that he
would pay her fine. and when she got out
would kill her. This excited the mother

April II, when channel 200 feet wide and

stored to its full dimensions by May 9.
Dredging was done also in the shoals at
Marshall Hall. Maryland Point and Lower
Smiths Point. The total amount excavated
at these shoals during the year was 1S2. Sst
cubic yards of material. The total amount
expended on these works during the year
was $i3.293

4.cauisition Of Land Recommended.
"A small amount OF land located below
the Navy Yard bridge Is required for the
Improvement Although several govern
ment reservations front on the river, the
greater part of the shore Is owned by pri-
vate parties. 1t Is especially desirable thar
such Land as Is required for the improve
ment be acquired and that all matters as
to riparian rights and ownership or the re-
claimed lands be settled by the condemna-
ton and purchase of a strip OF land ao-
jacent to the shore. or otherwise, before
the fats at these localities are reclaimed.
The land to be acquired is believed to- De
OF but insignificant value at the present
time. As delays in proceedings OF this char-
acter are OF frequent occurrence. and a
delay would result in seriously hamper1ng
the work of Improvement. attention Is thus
early invited to this subject and prompt
action by Congress Is suggested 1t Is pro-
posed for the present to deposit material
only In front of government property where
legal complications cannot arise. and all OF
these areas will Soon become filled.
For the successful and economical pros
ecutton OF this work large and CONTINUOUS
appropriations should be made. as was
clearly stated in presenting the original eS-
Inmates for this work The estimated unit
price for dredging, which Is considerably
lower than the prices which have usually
been paid for such work on the Potomac,
Is based upon this assumption. ana III the
approximations should be small and made
at irregular intervals the actual cost OF
the work would exceed the estimated cost
1t Is proposed to apply the available bal
ance and the additional appropriation rec
commended to dredging and properly de-
posting the excavated material The Wild
ening and reetiieation of the channel at
Buzzard's Point, involving the removal OF
a hard gravel bar projecting into the chan
mel and the excavation Of the turning basin
opposite the navy yard, are especially de-
sirable at present"
