Money Required to Complete.

Money Required to Complete.
The total expenditure on this improve
rpent during the year amounted to ss5, 2s9,
and the entire work Is now about one
eighth completed. Colonel Leach estimates
that it will require 81 .O67 .O62 to complete
the existing project for the Improvement of
the Anacostta river, and says that &300. 600
can be profitahly expended In that work
during the newt fiscal year. The receipts
and shipments by water during the calendar
year 1914 amounted to 2SO.6D5 tons, more
than half of which was sand and gravel,
and the total number of vessels of various
classes which arrived and departed during
the same period was 3,475 mostly tugs and
barges.
1T is anticipated" says Col. Leach, that
this improvement win be OF great benefit to
the general government and to the city of
Washington. At the Washington navy
yard there has been established one of the
finest gun shops in the world. and large
sums have been expended in enIarging and
increasing the facilities OF the esta bAsh-
ment- The Improvement of the channel will
render this navy yard accessible to a large
number OF vessels of the navy.
Increase of Trade.
THE trade and commerce of Washington
are increasing while the wharf facilities
along the Potomac front are inadequate
for the present traffic and afford no room
Aracostia will give the needed additional
wharfage facilities and will afford abundant
anchorage facilities which do not now exist
IN this vicinity. The greater part OF the
area of the Anaeostia river now consists of
wide and extensive fats. which In summer
and fall are covered with a dense growth
of eel grass and wild rice. The large vol
ume of sewage flowing into this stream is
ca FRIED over the fats and widely dissem-
mated at high time: and as the tide falls
much Of 1t remains lodged In the aquatic
grasses, where 1t ferments In the intense
heat OF the summer and autumn.
THE result OF this fnsanitary condition
Is the prevalence of malarial disease IN the
portions of the city and District OF Co
lumbia which border the river The re-
clamation of Potomac flats, although not an
yet entirely completed. has very largely
corrected the insanitary condition along
that front, and gives promise of similar re-
suits on the Anacostia. Although merely

Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash

Island, one on each shore, and filed
in between, which will necessitate

part of the bridge over Watson's

it with heavy timber. Now it is
