NORTH EAST RIVER.

The report submitted on the survey Of
North East River, from it's mouth to the
town of North East, declares 1t inadvis-
able TO undertake such improvement at
this time, either by the United States
alone or in cooperation with local inter-
ests. Colonel Burr says in part: at
appears the improvement desired is the
restoration of the channel dredged at
government expense in 1898, on which
there has been no expenditure for main
tenance. The district officer, Colonel
Casey, presents an estimate for the prac-
teal restoration of the original project
by the dredging of channel 60 feet
wide and six feet deep at mean low water
up to a point opposite the foot of Church
street in the town of North East, thence
widening into a turning basin six feet
deep, 200 feet long and $50 feet wide, all
at an estimated cost or $4,000 for orr
ginal construction and $1,000 annually
for maintenance.
The cost of this improvement is so
large that the district officer does not re-
commend its adoption unless local inter
ests contribute one-half. The division en-

SUSQUEHANNA RIVER.

The examination Of the Susquehanna
River was called for by the River and

Edward BUR-, acting chief of engineers,
in transmitting the report, says:
"The existing project ior Improvement
of the susquehanna river provides for
channel 200 feet wide and Is feet deep at
