' '; ' " " ' . 1 Dr last report was made on the 33,rd of July, of operations :to that, date from the 22nd of May, when our previous report was made. ' .'' - '' ! At the date'of 'our last report in JulyJ Bald Head- Channel 'had '"perceptibly , im- layoved, and our pilots began to use it with 13 to V4i feet ot water. - buosequentiy i4 feet of water, was 'carried out, and on the 24th of September ' the German barque. Frederick ScaUa, drawing 15J feet, was' lowed safely to sea. At present it is re ported that 16: 6r.lTi.faet may pass safely This being our first report tor the present fiscal year, commencing on the 1st of July last, we deem it proper- to recapitulate the operations of the previous year ending at that time.,- p ,s. M-;-;vU .'i The last fiscal year was ushered ihpnthe 1st of July, 1873, with an appropriation of $100v000 to conduct-operations for the year. The breakwater ; of - 4,400 feet connecting Smith with Zeke's Island having been com pleted it was determined by the engineer to construct a: deflecting' breakwater , from Federal Point about 1,500 to 2,000 feet in a southwest direction, for tho purpose or di verting the river currentf rom the inlet and thereby assist in its final closure, -and to this end thp work was immediately . com menced." After proceeding 500 feet it Was found that the cost so far exceeded the esti mates that the; appropriation was iasufii cient to oomplete it, and thp supervising pnr eirieer thought it best' to stop the. work, at that point, and devote the residue of funds at his disposal to tne immeaiaie reiiex ot navigation by dredging and removing ob structions . from the river. ; A steamer was purchased and fitted up with necessary ma-. cmnery as a suction areage, as iuu cost oi $20,000, to be used on the outer bar of Bald Head Channel. --rr,--., Ariver snag dredge also was chartered to operate on the flats above Big Island, where she operated for about ope month,, ?Hh d elded effect renoyiBg from the channel many ponderous stumps aAd logs,' thus re lieving navigation to some extent.; ji.;f V. y The suction dredge, the Woodbury, got to work about the 1st of April, operating for a few days only,' just long enough to test ber ability and adaptability to the service, when on the 8th ot April it was discovered that the appropriation was exhausted, and all operations were suspended. The dredge and tug were sent to Baltimore for repairs, and the hands all discharged, except a few to take care of the property, so that all (bpefaiioiis. ee eatijpe)y supep0e4 fP the balance ut the year rajrwaht of fnads.'- ' i An apprdprialion of $50,000 -was. ob tained from the last Congress for prosecut ing this work during the present year. This sum being considered altogether inadequate for a successful attempt at closing the New Inlet.-which is the fundamental principle qr uuiHrp tn ipesi vevfl owr MPuMf tuiufuve ments, this appropriation will most- prob ably be devRted to dredging, removing ob 8tructions,ppairirtg damages, &C;? relying upon the negt Congress for mph m appro print Ion as' the Sapervising Engineer may tljipk prqpr to recoru mend, for a successful prosecuiioh of the work.
