Report of Work Done Made by Govern
 ment Engineer Waldron.

Capt. A. B. Waldron, engineer off cer at New London, in charge of wa terway improvements in Connecticut, has submitted his annual report to the war department
 In it. regarding the Thames river, he states:
 In the Thames river two ledges were removed from near the junction of the Shetucket and the Thames river A survey last spring showed considerable shoaling in the streams and proposals were invited for dredg- ing about July 1. Three lower retain ing walls or this river, Mohegan, Trading Cove and Long Rock walls, have settled and been damaged by ice to such an extent, Captain Wal dron reports, that repairs are neces- sary to restore and maintain their usefulness. He adds that this work should be done next year. Appropria- tons for the Thames have already ex- ceeded $540,000.
 No work was done during the year on Pawcatuck river, Connecticut and Rhode Island, according to the report. AS result of a survey. the engineer recommends that several boulders now seriously menacing navigation should De removed, together with the ledge rock opposite Certain Draw point.
 Nothing was done in New London harbor by the general government last hscal year. Expenditures on that har- Dor have aggregated $159,000. Con- gress recently authorized a survey of New London harbor and this will prob- ably be made soon. The Waldron re- port says that the New London i'm proVements should be maintained and that efforts to obtain a price which would insure the deepening of Shaw | cove in accordance swith the terms or the project of June 25, 1910. have thus far been unsuccessful
