SUNKEN BARGE REMOVED.
Had Lain or Alexandria for Nor,
Than Fifteen Years.

The work of removing an old sunken
barge. which has been lying in the river
a short distance above Alexandria for fif-
teen years or longer. was completed this
week and now small sailing craft can go
close into the remains of the old piers at
the outlet of what was once a canal be-
tween Georgetown and Alexandria with
out danger. But until some dredging
work is done it will not be safe for vessels
Of any draft to attempt to trim too close
to the old pier. The removal of the scOw
was done under contract with the United
States engineers office by Capt. Warner
the local diver, with the assistance Of the
crew OF Deans piledriver. About two
weeks ago a large section of the old
barge, considerably more than half Of it,
was raised and taken to the vessel grave
yard on the Virginia side of the river
above the new Highway bridge. A day or
two ago the remainder of the vessel was
raised. The barge broke away from her
moorings in a fall gale and drifting up
the river struck on the old piles and sank.
The stern Of the vessel extended straight
out into the river and almost reached the
channel bank of the Virginia side. The
position of the vessel caused an eddy into
the Alexandria wharves and the rapid
shoaling OF the docks there was attributed
to this cause.

COMMISSIONERS ALL AT SEA
Judge Mullowny's "Waste" Decision
Has Them GUESSING.

Judge Mullowny's recent dismissal of
the case against a housekeeper charged
by the health officer with empty ing waste
water into a gutter-there being no sewer
near-has the Commissioners guessing
The offense was looked upon as a d.
rect violation of the health regulations
and thirteen other cases were awaiting
prosecution. But Judge Mullownys deci-
sion results in causing the health officer
to cancel the other cases.
Health Officer Woodward recommended
to the Commissioners that any funds
available be placed at the disposal of
the engineer of highways for the purpose
of keeping the cutters clean, even though
they be fouled by house waste or other
wise. If no funds are available he sug-
gests that an effort be made at the next
session of Congress to obtain an appro-
priation for the purpose.
AlOnzo Tweedale. auditor of the District.
who was consulted by the Commissioners
in their present predicament, believes
there Is no money in the District treasury
which could legitimately be used as rec
commended by the health officer.
