Channel Dredged.

1.-THE Improvement made was the dredg-
ing Of a channel twenty feet deep for a
width of 400 feet, the depth then gradual
ly decreasing to six feet at the bulkhead
line, the depositing Of dredged material
on the flats to an average elevation of
seven feet above low tide; the reclaimed
area to be surrounded by an earthen en-
bankment to a height of fourteen feet
above low tide. protected by a masonry
sea wall. The entire cost of this portion
of the improvement has been borne from
funds OF the United States.
The portion Of the river above the
Anacostia bridge, for which 100000 was
appropriated in the last fiscal year, and
for which there is an estimate for con-
year of 100000, is provided to be paid
for One-half from the. revenues Of the
United States and the other half from
the revenues of the District of Columbia
The develC pment Of this section is prac-
tically all for park purposes.
''The purpose of this bill is to acquire
for the District of Columbia all outstand-
ing private title to the land which would
be included in this Improvement.
Examination of Titles Necessary.
THE area Of the land contemplated to
be condemned within the lines laid down
in the bill cannot be determined accurate
ly at this time, as 1t Will require an ex-
animation of titles, but it has a value of
from 500 to $500 an acre. and possibly
70 per cent of 1t has a value of about
500 an acre.
"A close estimate cannot be given of the
total cost of the land, as it would depend
upon determination of the extent of the
outstanding private titles. but an APP
proximate estimate is $4,000.
Section of the bill provides that the
total cost of the land taken, together
with all expenses of survey and con-
demnation proceedings. shall be paid
from the revenues OF the District of CO.
lumbia, and entirely assessed in an as
sessment area. which is set forth in
section 3 of the bill. and which it may
be stated generally comprises all of the
District of Columbia lying between the
District line on the south and east,
Rhode Island avenue on the north and
New Jersey avenue on the west

Early Action Requested. T..

Necessity for, early action on the
measure, say the Commissioners, in a
report accompanying the bill. is due
to the fact that operations will soon
be begun on retaining the river and
flats from the Anacostia bridge to-
ward the District line. In order that
the benefits of this reclamation may
not be received by private interests,
they say, the question of title to the
AUDITING shores must be determined
and any outstanding private titles ac-
CURED.
The Commissioners also refer to the
estimate of $1,620,795, made by the
chief Of engineers of the United States
Army, for the reclamation and devel-
opment of the Anacostia river and
flats, and the work that already has
been done.
I'm the river and harbor act, approved
June Is, 1902" the report states, the
project of improving the portion between
the mouth Of the river and the Navy
Yard or Anacostia bridge was approved,
and an appropriation made for the pur-
pose. Up to the end of the fiscal year
1911 total of $327, 569. 70 was expended
on that portion Of the work, the estimated
cost Of which was 81, 21S, 525.

BARRE LEADS IN
MONUMENTAL WORK.

1t is an acknowledged fact that Barre
granite is the leader among thousands Of
specimens taken from every part of the
country, as stated on little folder is
sued by the Board of Trade, "from her
quarries come the finest monuments,
statuary, mausoleums and building
work" These are facts of which ther,,
is absolute proof. Barre is the best
business city in this seetion-the largest
payroll of skilled laborers per capita re-.
ceiving the highest wages This money
is paid out here in Barre. These distinc-
tions and conditions are the stepping
stones of a bigger and better Barre. Not
alone should the granite industry be re-
lied upon to accomplish what everybody
wants, "better and bigger Barre" It's
up to every citizen, most especially to
the merchants, who can make their bust
ness more attractive to the public by
putting little more time and giving a
little more attention to the little details
which make the business profitable and
interesting; procure goods of reliable
quality; sell them at fair prices CON
sistent with the quality, thereby gaining
and retaining the confidence of the pur
chaser. These are the methods employed
by the Barre Drug company, and the re-
suits are most gratifying.
