New Pier at Fort Hunt, Va,

The quartermaster department., U. 8. A..
Is about to make another effort to build a
new pier at Fort Hunt, Va, on the Poto-
mac. opposite Fort Washington, and the
constructing quartermaster in charge of the
improvements being made at the fort will
open bids for the work in a short time. II
will constitute the third effort the army au-
thorities have made In the last year to have
a per built at Fort Hunt. Twice before
have bidders from this city and elsewhere
been asked to submit figures on doing the
work, but on both occasions the prices
asked were all too high for the funds avail
able for the work, and all the bids were re-
5ected. The present pier at Fort Hunt was
punt about ten years ago, and is one of the
longest on the river. 1t is stated that 1t is
In bad repair, and the army authorities
will have either to rebuild the old pier or
construct a new one
1t is proposed to erect the new pier about
a quarter of a mile to the north of the
present one, and it viii only be about half
the length of the old pier. In order to get
deep water for the landing of vessels at
the proposed new pier, 1t will be necessary
to do considerable dredging through the
Virginia flats in order to make basin in
front Of the pier. 1t Is thought that this
time the contract will be awarded, and that
the work on the new pier will be started In
the early part Of the summer.
