Planning to make an early start on
the second project connected with the
Improvement of the Anacostia hats'
which includes that section OF the river
between Anacostia and Twining City,
the Government engineers have calied
for proposals for the furnishing and un-
loading of riprap material on the river.
Proposals will be received In the ONCE
of Col. w. c. Langfitt. one OF the engl-
neer officers designated to serve on the
board, having charge Of the plans for
the reclamation of the fats, until April
q, when they will be opened and the
contract will be awarded. No work
has been done in this part OF the stream,
although three successive District ap-
preparation bills contain an appropria-
ton of 100000 each for the improve
ment.
Surveys have been made along the
river between Naylor road and the
Pennsylvania avenue bridge. The rip
rap will be used in the construction or
the sea wall. similar to the one west OF
the Anacostia bridge
AS the District appropriation act
provides for the requirement of the nee
essary land along each shore of the
Anacostia river by purchase or condem-
nation. communications are being sent
to the property owners concerned, re-
questing them to name the price they
desire to receive for their ground to a
certain point in the river. This does not
mean that condemnation proceedings
will Tot follow, however as in the
event that the prices are not satisfac-
tory, the latter course may be taken.
