SURVEYS OF POTOMAC RIVER.
Secretary Taft Submits to Congress
Reports BY Engineers.

Secretary Taft today sent to Congress
reports by Maj. Spencer Cosby, Corps Of
Engineers, o: preliminary examinations
and surveys OF the Potomac river. below
the city of Washington, with view to
obtaining a width of channel of 400 feet,
as authorized by the river and harbor
act approved March .. 1907. In 1880.
prior to improvement, it was reported by
the engineers that at best only eighteen
feet at mean low water could be carried
with safety over certain shoal spots in
the channel below Washington That has
since been secured by dredging an unob-
structed channel at least 200 feet wide
and "a feet deep at mean low tide, from
just below Washington to the mouth o.
the river. II is now estimated that 1t
will cost 500 900 to increase the width Of
this invent y four foot channel to 400 feet
and that the maintenance Of the completed
channel will probably cost 81, 500 a year.
1t is the opinion of the district officer,
concurred in by the division engineer and
the board of engineers for rivers and har-
bors. that this locality is worthy of I'M
provement In the manner proposed, but
that the widenin gof the channel below
Washington should not be undertaken
until an increase in depth to twenty-four
the Potomac and Anacostia rivers at
Washington has been definitely prov ded
for by Congress.
THE existing projected depth for the
Potomac and Anacostia rivers at WASH
ington," saids Gem Mackenzie. chief of en-
gineers. lis twenty feet at mean low water
The mean range O. tide Is three feet. 1t
appears to be desirable that the larger
commercial and naval vessels which are
able to leave. the docks at high water
| should he permitted to proceed through
the hundred miles of river channel with
out regard to the tide, and II appearing
also that the existing 3OO-foot channel is
too narrow for vessels to be easily navi-
gated at speed or for boats to pass at
night and In bad weather, I am constrain-
ed to differ from the opinion expressed in
the accompanying reports and to recon-
mend that the plan of improvement pre-
scented receive favorable cons deration by
Congress under present conditions. and
without waiting for additional depth in
the harbor proper"
