The portibn included in this report embraces the 195- mile section known as the middle Mississippi, between the tributary Ohio and Missouri Rivers, 1,078 to 1,273 miles from the Gulf. Previous projects.-The original project for the improvement of the Mississippi River between the Ohio and Missouri Rivers was recommended by a Board of Engineers in a report dated April 13, 1872, and concurred in by the Chief of Engineers. The cost and expenditures for the middle Mississippi prior to the adoption of the present project in 1881 were $1,610,000 for new work. (For further details see p. 1879 of the Annual Report for 1915.) Existing project.-This provides for obtaining and maintaining a minimum channel depth of not less than 9 feet, a minimum width of not less than 300 feet at low water, with additional width in bends from the mouth of the Ohio River (1,078 miles from the Gulf) to the northern boundary of the city of St. Louis, 191 miles; thence 200 feet wide, with additional width in bends to the mouth of the Mis- souri River, 4 miles, all to be obtained by regulating works and dredging: First, by regulating works, for closing sloughs and sec- ondary channels, and narrowing the river; by building new banks where the natural width is excessive and protecting new and old banks from erosion where necessary to secure permanency. Second, by dredging or other temporary expedients to maintain channels of project dimensions. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1934, is $43,000,000, with $1,300,000 for annual maintenance. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Act Work authorized Documents and reports -- -Project for regulating works adopted in 1881...-..

I Also joint resolution, June 29, 1906. Terminal facilities.-The water terminal and transfer facilities of the district are fully described as of December 31, 1918, in House RIVERS AND HARBORS-ST. LOUIS, MO., DISTRICT 1015 Document No. 652, Sixty-sixth Congress, second session, pages 1211- 1239. Additional data for terminal facilities are also contained in Transportation Series No. 2, 1929, Transportation in the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys. Operations and results during fiscal year.-River stages were favor- able to construction work, which was carried on extensively by con- tract and by hired labor with Government plant during the fall of 1937; river conditions were generally unfavorable during the spring of 1938 and work was carried on only intermittently. Regu- lating works were maintained and project dimensions of channel were secured by dredging. The district's standard specifications for construction work were used.

Regular funds-New work.-Four dikes totaling 1,225 feet in length were built by hired labor with Government plant at a cost of $51,644.28. Forty-eight dikes totaling 21,245 feet in length were built under contract at a cost of $515,776.57. Four revetments total- ing 12,305 feet in length, consisting of 14,993 squares of mattress and 1016 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 7,168 squares of paving, were built under contract at a cost of $298,- 244.14. In addition to completed work there were under construc- tion, by contract, 10 dikes to total 10,070 linear feet, and one revet- ment, length included in above table. The total cost of new work with regular funds was $865,664.99. Maintenance.-Dikes and revetments were repaired at a cost of $270,160.60. The required 9-foot channel was maintained, except for short periods needed to move a dredge to the shoal, by five United States dredges. During the year 54 shoals developed of which 40 were dredged once, 7 were dredged twice, 6'were dredged three times, and 1 was dredged four times. There were 10,597,490 cubic yards of sand and gravel removed by these dredges from channels through 54 bars, 81,357 cubic yards of material removed in outside-the-chan- nel dredging, and 74,629 cubic yards of material was removed in mis- cellaneous snagging operations. The channels dredged had a combined length of 31.8 miles, an average width of 297 feet, and an average gain in depth of 4 feet. The total cost of dredging was $772,394.68, all charged to maintenance. Hydrographic surveys were made covering 246 miles of river, costing $96,067.05. Model studies were made at Waterways Experi- ment Station, Vicksburg, Miss., of the following river reaches: Bos- ton Bar, Dogtooth Bend, Swiftsure, Grand Tower, and Chain of Rocks, at a total cost of $59,139.61. Other miscellaneous costs were: Snagging, $26,454.82; aids to navigation, $2,071.98; and gages, $1,132.01, all charged to maintenance. The total cost of all mainte- nance was $1,227,420.75. Emergency Relief funds -New workc.-There remains under con- tract one uncompleted revetment to total about 2,200 feet, to be paid for with Emergency Relief funds, on which no work was done pend- ing the rectification of bank alinement by river currents. There were no costs or expenditures from Emergency Relief funds.

The quantities required to complete the project are estimated as 73 dikes, 73,000 linear feet, and 50 revet- ments, 268,800 linear feet. Dikes and revetments are now in very good repair and the channel has been greatly improved by the work that has been done. Dredging is required at low stages to remove temporary shoals and maintain the required channel depths. In recent years, notwithstanding the unusual low water that has prevailed, the project dimensions of channels have generally been maintained throughout the navigation season. The navigation season usually lasts from the middle of February to the middle of December, the river being generally closed by ice the remainder of RIVERS AND HARBORS-ST. LOUIS, MO., DISTRICT 1017 the year. The river is generally above the 10-foot stage, St. Louis gage, for 6 months of the year, latter part of February to latter part of August, during which time project channel depths generally pre- vail without dredging.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER BETWEEN MOUTH OF MISSOURI RIVER AND CLARKSVILLE, MO. See report, "Mississippi River between the Missouri River and Minneapolis, Minn.," page 1046. 3. REMOVING SNAGS AND WRECKS FROM THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER BELOW THE MOUTH OF MISSOURI RIVER AND FROM OLD AND ATCHAFALAYA RIVERS The section of the Mississippi River covered in this report was formerly in charge of the St. Louis engineer district, but for the purpose of administration, on July 1, 1930, it was divided into three reaches, which are under the supervision and direction of the district engineers at St. Louis, Mo., Memphis, Tenn., and Vicksburg, Miss. The St. Louis district extends from the mouth of the Missouri River to the mouth of the Ohio River, a distance of 195 miles. The Memphis district extends from the mouth of the Ohio River to the mouth of the Arkansas River, a distance of 399 miles. The Vicks- 1022 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 burg district extends from the mouth of the Arkansas River to the Head of Passes, 671 miles, and includes 8 miles of Old River and 30 miles of the Atchalalaya River. District engineers: St. Louis, Mo., Lt. Col. P. S. Reinecke, Corps of Engineers; Memphis, Tenn., Col. Eugene Reybold, Corps of En- gineers to July 14, 1937; Maj. Daniel Noce, Corps of Engineers, since that date; Vicksburg, Miss., Lt. Col. Lunsford E. Oliver, Corps of Engineers, to August 19, 1937; Lt. Col. Raymond G. Moses, Corps of Engineers, since that date. Division engineers: For the river below the mouth of the Ohio, Brig. Gen. H. B. Ferguson, Corps of Engineers; for the river above the mouth of the Ohio, Col. J. N. Hodges, Corps of Engineers, to March 1, 1938; Lt. Col. Malcolm Elliott, Corps of Engineers, since that date. Location.-The snagging district embraces that portion of .the river between Head of Passes and the mouth of Missouri River, 1,265 miles, 8 miles of Old River (present mouth of Red River), and 30 miles of Atchafalaya River from Red River to Melville, La.; total, 1,303 miles. Previous projects.-For the removal of these obstructions general appropriations were made at irregular intervals as early as 1824. The amount expended prior to 1879, when the first definite allot- ment was made for the work, was approximately $358,627.35, for maintenance. For further details, see page 1880, Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This is a continuation of the plan adopted in 1879, and provides for the removal and destruction of snags, wrecks, drift heaps, and other obstructions to navigation in the Mississippi River between Head of Passes (13 miles from mouth of South Pass) and mouth of Missouri River, and in Old and Atchafalaya Rivers (38 miles) to Melville, La.; also for the felling of large trees on or near caving banks, thereby decreasing the number of snags to be destroyed thereafter. The work is done by the Department's steel-hull snag boats C. B. Reese, built in 1879 (rebuilt 1901) ; C. W. Howell, built in 1881; the Charles H. West, built in 1934; and other plant; all fitted with the necessary equipment and appliances and operated by Government employees. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents -.............

LOUIS, MO., DISTRICT 1023 Terminal facilities.-For information under this heading reference should be made to the report on improving the Mississippi River between Ohio and Missouri Rivers and to reports of the Mississippi River Commission and district engineers, thereunder. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The entire section of river included in the project was patrolled and cleared of obstruc- tions, except that from Warrenton, Miss., to Head of Passes, 454 miles, where work was not required, and Missouri River to Ohio River, 195 miles (no snag boat available), was not'patrolled. Mouth of Missouri River to mouth of Ohio River (St. Louis dis- trict).-The work in this district consisted of clearing some 895,500 square feet of river bank of brush and timber to prevent formation of snags, and removal of about 3,170 linear feet of old pile dikes which had become obstructive, involving the moving of 38,994 cubic yards of material by dipper dredge, all at a cost of $20,000 and expendi- ture of $20,000 from regular funds. Mouth of Ohio River to mouth of White River (Memphis dis- trict).-During the year the snag boat C. B. Reese ran 1,294 miles and destroyed 1,387 snags at a cost of $22,663.73 and expenditure of $24,918.68. Mouth of White River to Head of Passes and Old and Atchafalaya- Rivers (Vicksburg district).--Duringthe year the snag boat C. H. West made 37 complete trips between the mouth of White River and Warrenton, Miss. No snagging was necessary below that point. During these trips, 5,536 miles were run and 548 snags were de- stroyed, at a cost of $25,000 and expenditure of $25,000. The total cost of work under the project for the year was $67,663.73 for maintenance and the total expenditure was $69,918.68. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project being one of con- tinuous maintenance of channel, no estimate of completion and total cost can be made. Each freshet brings down new obstructions and changes in location of channel, which are constantly going on, un- cover old obstructions. The number of obstructions destroyed an- nually varies from several hundred to several thousand (Annual Report, 1920, p. 2503). This work is of great benefit to commerce and navigation of the river, and disasters caused by vessels striking channel obstructions seldom occur. Operations in the various districts provided a channel reasonably free from snags at the end of the fiscal year, and there is sufficient plant available to take care of future work. The total cost of the existing project at the end of the fiscal year was $5,132,383.29 for maintenance. The total expenditures under the existing project were $5,132,383.29, of which $4,146,102.75 was from appropriation provided under section 7 of the act of August 11, 1888, Proposed operations.-Thiswork is continuous, since new obstruc- tions are brought down by each freshet, though not in such quantity as formerly. An allotment of $50,000 from regular maintenance and improvement funds will be applied to removing obstructions to. navigation in the following districts: Memphis ----------------------------------------------- --------- $25, 000 Vicksburg ------- _----------------__ 25, 000 Total-- --- ------- -------------- - 5(,-000 1024 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-ST. LOUIS, MO., DISTRICT 1027 Existing project.-This provides for raising and enlarging exist- ing levees and was authorized by the Flood Control Act of June 22, 1936. The estimated construction cost is $1,158,000 and estimated cost of lands and damages is $125,000. Local cooperation.-See page 8. Assurance of local cooperation has been received and approved. Partial right-of-way data have been furnished and approved. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Contract was entered into November 30, 1937, for construction under items I, II, and III of this project. Item I covers all the work on the upper flank levee, and items II and III cover about 90 percent of the work on the lower flank levee. The work under this contract (items I, II, and III) con- sists of the placing of about 1,620,000 cubic yards of earthwork and the extension of an existing gravity drain. During the fiscal year a total of 229,462 cubic yards of material was placed at a cost of $55,336.95 regular funds including preliminary work, and $2,900, Emergency Relief funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The work of raising and enlarging existing levees under this project is about 5 percent completed. The estimated quantities required to complete the project are the placing of 1,980,000 cubic yards of earthwork, the construction of about 1,000 linear feet of levee wall and reconstruction of 11 gravity drains. The total costs under the existing project are $55,336.95, regular funds and $2,900, Emergency Relief funds, all for new work, and the total expenditures are, $43,067.82 from regular funds and $2,499.50 from Emergency Relief funds.

Location.-This canal connects the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers, proceeding from a point on the Illinois River about 12 miles from La Salle, across the State of Illinois to the Mississippi River at the mouth of Rock River. Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a canal from the Illinois River, near Bureau Junction, running westerly via the Bureau Creek Valley to Rock River, near Colona, thence in the bed of Rock River to the rapids near Milan, Ill., and thence to the Mississippi River at the mouth of Rock River, at Rock Island, the length of the main line being 75 miles. The feeder, 29.3 miles in length, extends from Rock Falls on Rock River, to the summit level of the canal, about 28 miles from the Illinois River. There are 32 locks in the main canal, described in the following tabulation. There is also a lock and controlling works at the head of the feeder at Rock Falls, and a lock in Rock River at Rock Falls connecting the pool of the Government dam with the power com- pany's dam below. This lock has dimensions similar to those in the main canal and cost $75,000. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1902, was $8,911,- 551.12. The estimated cost of operation and maintenance, made in 1936, is $176,000 annually. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: RIVERS AND HARBORS-ROCK ISLAND, ILL., DISTRICT 1077 Acts Work authorized Documents and reports Sept. 19, 1890 Existing project adopted_---...-.---....--.-...- H.

It is located in the south end of the Sterling Dam and about 600 feet below the guard lock of the Illinois and Mississippi zR w Canal (feeder section). NOTE.-There are no dams except at the guard lock and lock 30. At the former locality there is a fixed dam across the Rock River, with a movable crest constructed of wood, concrete, and steel; at lock 30 there are crib dams across the north and south channels of Rock River. The north dam has a 60-foot opening and has been superseded by a concrete power dam a short distance below; the south dam adjoining lock 30 has been reinforced with concrete laid in the water. 71 H H 1080 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-None. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The work during the fiscal year consisted of repairs to locks, bridges, buildings, telephone lines, and fences. Houses, bridges, and aqueducts were cleaned and painted. Extensive repairs were made to canal banks in the vicinity of Bureau, Ill., which were damaged by high water during the months of January and February 1938. Maintenance dredging was per- formed in Rock River pool, canal prism, aqueducts, and creek chan- nels. The costs during the year were $179,242.75; the expenditures were $184,636.13. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1918. All locks (33 in number), dams, aqueducts, build- ings, and other appurtenances are in fair condition. The channel has an existing depth of approximately 7 feet, a bottom width of 52 feet and a water-surface width of 80 feet except at aqueducts, where the width is 40 feet, and at locks 35 feet. The total cost to June 30, 1938, from regular funds was $8,012,405.27, of which $7,580,143.41 was for construction and $432,261.86 was for operation and care. The expenditures were $8,003,723.59. The costs and expenditures from Emergency Relief funds for removal of snags and stumps in Rock River pool were $25,000, all new work. In addi- tion, the sum of $4,143,282.27 was expended between April 1895 and June 30, 1936, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provision of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

The cost and expenditures were $782,662.10-$681,805 being for new work and $100,857.10 for maintenance of such reservoirs as were completed prior to 1894. These expenditures were prior to the .adoption of the existing project in 1899. For further details see page 1888 of the Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for the reconstruction of the five original reservoir dams, viz, Winnibigoshish, Leech Lake, Poke- gama, Sandy Lake, and Pine River, and the construction of Gull Lake Reservoir. The estimated cost revised in 1928, exclusive of amount expended ,on previous projects, was $895,000. The estimated cost of operation .and maintenance of the reservoirs made in 1936, is $25,000 annually. The above dams are of solid concrete construction, Pokegama being built on bedrock and the others on pile foundations. The Sandy Lake Dam includes a lock 160 feet long, 30 feet wide, with a maxi- mum lift of 9.5 feet and a depth of 2.5 feet on the lower sill at low water. The construction of an equalizing canal between Winni- bigoshish and Leech Lake Reservoirs, at an estimated cost of $61,200 (later increased to $71,200), was subsequently added to the project, but nowork was done, and this part of the project was abandoned in the River and Harbor Act of March 4, 1915.

BLACK RIVER, WIS. Location.-The source of the river is in west-central Wisconsin. The river drains an area of 2,270 square miles lying wholly in Wis- consin, and flows in a general southwesterly direction a total distance of about 160 miles to its confluence with the Mississippi River at La Crosse, Wis., 698.2 miles above Cairo, Ill., and 154.8 miles below the lower Northern Pacific Railway bridge at Minneapolis. The portion of the stream included in this improvement extends from the mouth to a point 1.4 miles upstream. (See U. S. Geological Survey map of Wisconsin, scale 1: 500,000 for general location.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel depth of 9 feet below the normal elevation of pool No. 8, substantially from bank to bank and extending from the mouth to a point 1.4 miles upstream. 1102 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 The estimated cost of new work made in 1937 is $85,000. The latest (1937) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $2,500. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 23, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). This document contains the latest published maps. Local cooperation.-The existing project stipulates that local inter- ests furnish, free of cost to the United States, necessary rights-of-way and suitable spoil-disposal areas for new work and for subsequent maintenance as required, and furnish assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will contruct adequate terminal facilities open to the public on equal terms. While these requirements have not been formally met, it is expected that local interests will make the necessary commitments required. Terminal facilities.-None. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Work not begun. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended will be applied to new work dredging during the period May to September 1939, de- pendent upon conditions of cooperation by the city of La Crosse, Wis., being complied with. The additional sum of $2,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 in maintenance dredging.

ST. CROIX RIVER, WIS. AND MINN. Location. The source of the river is in northwestern Wisconsin. It is about 160 miles long and for its greater part forms the boundary between Wisconsin and Minnesota. It flows southwesterly and then southerly into the Mississippi River at Prescott, Wis., 41.5 miles be- low the Northern Pacific Railroad bridge, Minneapolis, Minn, The RIVERS AND HARBORS-ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1103 portion included in this improvement extends from the mouth to Taylors Falls, a distance of 52.3 miles. (See U. S. Geological Survey map of Minnesota, scale 1: 500,000, for general location.) Existing project.-This provides for the maintenance of a channel 9 feet in depth and of suitable width from the mouth to Stillwater (24 miles), in connection with the improvement of the upper Missis- sippi River to afford a depth of 9 feet, and a channel 3 feet deep at mean low water between Stillwater and Taylors Falls (28 miles), also the improvement of the harbor and water front at Stillwater. The ordinary fluctuations between mean low and mean high water are about 7.5 feet at Osceola and about 17.8 feet at Stillwater. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1927, was $150,400. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $5,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents and reports June 18, 1878 Dredging, etc., for a 3-foot channel between the H. Ex. Doc.

Terminal facilities.-At Stillwater-there is a concrete-paved levee, 550 feet long and 40 feet wide, sloping from the top of the river bank to the water. There is also a piling and timber trestle wharf on the right bank, of which 276 feet is dock and 96 feet approach. At other points along the river landings are made on the banks. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance channel dredging was carried on at two localities by hired labor and the use of Government plant. A total of 124,557 cubic yards of sand and gravel was removed. A total of 391 snags was removed from the river between Stillwater and Taylors Falls by hired labor and Gov- ernment plant. The costs and expenditures for the year were $15,679.30. Condition at end of fiscal year.-All new work was completed in 1930. The extension to provide a 9-foot channel from the mouth to Stillwater will be completed upon acquiring full pool at dam No. 3 of the Mississippi River project which is expected to be about August 1, 1938. The maximum draft that could be carried June 30, 1938, was 4 feet; below Stillwater, 9 feet. The total costs to June 30, 1938, were $232,830.55, being $150,409.50 for new work and $82,421.05 for maintenance. The total expend- itures were $232,830.55. 1104 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1105 5. MINNESOTA RIVER, MINN. Location.-This river has its source in South Dakota, about 35 miles from Browns Valley, Minn. It is about 400 miles in length, its general direction of flow being easterly, and it empties into the Mississippi River at St. Paul, Minn. For general location, see United States Geological Survey map of Minnesota. Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1867, and modified by the River and Harbor Acts of August 11, 1888, and July 13, 1892. The costs and expenditures were $117,542.79 for new work, all prior to adoption of existing project in 1892. For further details see page 1890 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for open-channel improvement from the Mississippi River to Shakopee (25.6 miles). The object to be accomplished by this improvement is to obtain a channel with 4 feet of water from the Mississippi River to Shakopee, which will accommodate vessels of 3-foot draft. The fluctuation in level from mean low to mean high water is 8.6 feet, and from extreme low to extreme high water 19.7 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1892, was $10,000, ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 13, 1892 (p. 2209 of the Annual Report for 1891). The latest pub- lished map will be found on page 1574 of the Annual Report for 1888. Terminal facilities.-None. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project was completed in 1931. A draft of 3 feet is practicable between the mouth and Shako- pee for the full navigation season. Navigation by steamboat is im- possible except at medium and high stages. The maximum draft that could be carried June 30, 1938, at mean low water was 3 feet from the mouth to Shakopee. The total costs under the existing project to June 30, 1938, were $40,266.99, being $12,730.69 for new work and $27,536.30 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $40,266.99. Proposed operations.-No operations are contemplated for the fiscal year 1939. The sum of $12,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 as follows: Maintenance : Dredging channel from mouth of river to Mendota Bridge (1.7 miles), by hired labor and Government plant, August 1939--------------_ 11,000 Removal of snags from mouth of river to Peterson's Bar (12 miles), by hired labor and Government plant, July 1939------------------ 1, 000 Total maintenance ---------------------------------------- 12, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1938 ---------------------------- $130, 273. 48 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1938---------------------------- 27, 536. 30 Total ost of permanent work to June 30, 1938----------- 157, 809. 78 Net total expenditures--- _----------------------- 157, 809. 78 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1938 ----------- - 157, 809. 78 1106 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

The limits shown for construction of locks and dams apply, except that the improvement of the channel of the Ohio River from its mouth to the mouth of the Cache River (Mound City, Ill.),. other than by construction of locks and dams, is under the jurisdiction of the Mississippi River Commission. Existing project.-With the completion of the canalization project, the work under the project for open-channel work consists mainly of removing obstructive bars and widening and deepening the channel at the upper ends of pools where necessary in order that the full project depth of 9 feet contemplated by the canalization project may be obtained. After this depth has been obtained it is anticipated that periodic dredging will be required at some localities in order to main- tain such depth. In addition, the depth is being maintained on that section of the river below lock and dam No. 53 by open-channel work. Under the project for open-channel work no project depth had been fixed by Congress, but it was found necessary to properly aid packet and barge navigation, prior to completion of the canalization project, to secure a low-water channel having a minimum depth of from 4 to 6 feet and a width, according to the difficulty of running the channel, of from 400 to 600 feet; and to permit the movement of large coal tows, which movement occurs at stages of water exceeding 10 feet, it has been found necessary to remove the points of projecting bars which form at various points along the river but mainly at the mouths of creeks and other tributaries. The accomplishment of this twofold purpose involves the concentration of current by closing back channels at islands with low dams, the contraction and straightening of wide, open channels by low dikes, the dredging of bars and shoals,. and the removal of snags and wrecks. Incidental to the direct improvement of the Ohio is the maintenance of existing works, including dikes, dams, and ice piers; also harbor lines below mouth of Big Sandy River. The extreme range of river stages varies from 46.0 feet at Pitts- burgh, Pa., to 80.0 feet at Cincinnati, Ohio, with 57.2 feet at Louis- ville, Ky. (head of the falls), 53.8 feet at Evansville, Ind., and 59.5 feet at Cairo, Ill. (mouth of the river). The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1933, is $17,050,000, which includes $200,000 for bank-protection work near Evansville,. Ind., authorized in the 1930 River and Harbor Act. The estimate of annual cost of operating snag boats below the Pennsylvania State line, made in 1936, is $50,000. RIVERS AND HARBORS-OHIO RIVER LOCKS AND DAMS 1245 The existing project was authorized by the following River and Harbor Acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3,1827 The project adopted by this act originally covered the entire length of the Ohio River from its mouth near Cairo to Pittsburgh, a distance of 981 miles. It provided for the removal of all obstructions which tend to endanger steam- boat navigation. Jan. 21,1927 Construction of ice piers, as a part of the project, with funds H. Doc. No. 187, 67th Cong., allotted from the appropriations for general open-channel 2d sess. work. July 3, 1930 Reforestation of the sloughs on Kentucky Peninsula near H. Doc. No. 409, 69th Cong., Evansville, Ind., and a 200-foot strip along the upstream 1st sess. bank and for bank protection at an estimated cost of $200,000. Operation of snag boats on the Ohio River below the Pennsylvania State line was included in the project July 1, 1935, under the provi- sions of the Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act approved June 26, 1934. Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act approved January 21, 1927, authorizing the construction of ice piers for general open- channel work, imposes the condition that before work is begun on any ice pier, local interests convey to the United States free of cost such riparian rights as may be deemed necessary in connection with the improvement at the locality. The River and Harbor Act approved July 3, 1930, authorizing the reforestation of the sloughs on Kentucky Peninsula near Evansville, Ind., and a 200-foot strip along the upstream bank and for bank protection, provides that no expense shall be incurred by the United States for the acquiring of any lands required for the purpose of this improvement. Terminal facilities.-See page 1238. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Dredging, where re- quired to provide an adequate and dependable channel of project depth at minimum pool conditions, was executed. The dikes and bank revetments were maintained and the routine work of maintain- ing navigation aids, making channel studies and hydrographic sur- veys was performed as required. The specific work accomplished during the year was as follows: Pittsburgh district.-Dredgingof 123,369 cubic yards of material from the channel was accomplished by the U. S. dipper dredge Beaver. The total cost was $56,186.78, for maintenance. The total expenditures were $45,296.08. Huntington district.-Dredgingof 359,826 cubic yards of material from the channel was accomplished by the U. S. pipeline dredge Jewett and derrick boats Nos. 4~, 48, and 49. The snagging plant of the district removed and disposed of 428 snags during the year. The cost was $146,619.96, for maintenance. The expenditures were $141,722.98. Cincinnati district.-Dredgingof 602,080 cubic yards of material from the channel was accomplished by the U. S. pipeline dredges Harris and Jewett and the U. S. dipper dredge Cincinnati. The snagging plant of the district removed and disposed of 305 trees and snags, 1,189 cords of drift, and the wrecks of 2 vessels. The cost 1246 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 was $316,776.26 for maintenance. The expenditures were $277,625.63. Louisville district.-Dredgingof 5,260,149 cubic yards of material from the channel was accomplished by the U. S. pipeline dredges Grafton, Harris, Taber, and Jewett, and the U. S. dipper dredges Adams and Nolin River. The snagging plant of the district removed a total of 590 snags from the river during the year. The cost was $883,725.15, for maintenance. The expenditures were $975,302.83. The total cost during the fiscal year on the entire river was $1,403,- 308.15, all of which was for maintenance work performed with regu- lar funds. The total expenditures, all from regular funds, were $1,439,947.52. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Dredges and snagging plant were operated throughout the year with a view to providing an adequate and dependable channel 9 feet deep at minimum pool conditions. In general, this channel was maintained. Local stabilization of chan- nel has been effected at various points by construction of dikes and bank revetment. The total cost of existing project to the end of the fiscal year for new work was $12,256,748.86, of which $1,040,235.99 was applicable to work performed with Public Works funds and $11 216,512.87 from regular funds. In addition, the cost of maintenance from regular funds was $14,704,576.19, making a total cost of $26,961,325.05. The total expenditures under the existing project were $26,954,216.20, of which $1,040,235.99 was from Public Works funds and $25,913,980.21 from regular funds. In addition the sum of $1,621,349.38 was expended between Sep- tember 19, 1890, and June 30, 1936, in the operation of snag boats under the provision of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

MONONGAHELA RIVER, PA. AND W. VA. Location.-This river is formed by the junction of the Tygart and West Fork Rivers about 1 mile south of Fairmont, W. Va., and flows in a northerly direction 128 miles to its junction with the Allegheny River, forming the Ohio River at Pittsburgh, Pa. (See U. S. Geo- logical Survey charts for Pennsylvania and West Virginia.) Previous projects.--Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of June 10, 1872, June 3, 1896, and June 4, 1897. Under these projects, all completed, the cost and expenditures were $5,420,540.52 for new work RIVERS AND HARBORS-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1249 and $741.66 for maintenance, a total of $5,421,282.18. For further details see page 1910 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for the improvement of the river by 13 locks and dams to afford slack-water navigation from Pitts- -burgh, Pa., to 4 miles above Fairmont, W. Va., a distance of 131 miles. Original locks Nos. 1 to 7, inclusive, were built by the Mo- nongahela Navigation Co. and acquired by the United States in 1897, .and locks 8 to 15, inclusive, were built by the United States prior to 1904. Locks 7, 8, and 9 are replaced by new locks 7 and 8. Increased traffic necessitated an enlargement and improvement of the locks and dams between Pittsburgh and Rices Landing, Pa. In rebuilding the locks and dams from Nos. 1 to 6 the adopted standard was two parallel chambers each 56 by 360 feet, with 8 feet depth on sills and fixed con- crete dams. New locks Nos. 7 and 8 are single chambers 56 by 360 feet. The project includes the building of locks 10 to 15, inclusive, single locks, 56 by 182 feet, with 7 feet depth on sills and fixed concrete dams, which are still adequate for the present traffic. The channel width varies from 125 feet in pool No. 15 to 500 feet in Emsworth pool. The total estimated cost of new work, revised in 1935, is $11,500,- 000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The esti- mate of annual cost of operation and care of locks and dams, made in 1936, is $667,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents and reports Mar. 3, 1899Enlargement and improvement of lock and dam No. 6; Annual Report, 1897, p. 2423. additional works at lock No. 3; new repair steamer and new dredge boat with equipment; all at an estimated cost of $185,556.

A large number of tipples at mines and hoists of various types at manufacturing plants are maintained for private use in loading and unloading coal, coke, billets, steel, sand, gravel, oil, acid, etc., but these are not available for the purpose of general commerce. Existing pri- vate terminals are adequate for shipments and receipt in the Pitts- burgh district of the type of commerce now in existence. The Glass- port terminal of the American Barge Line Co. affords facilities for limited commerce beyond the capacity of the packet boats not handled through private terminals. The provision of river-to-rail and rail-to- RIVERS AND HARBORS-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1251 river transfer terminals' on an extensive scale is not important, since 98 percent of traffic using the river passes through private terminals, which are more than adequate for the prospective commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year--New work.-At lock and dam No. 1, the dam, river wall, upper and lower guard walls were demolished and removed by hired labor. Operation and care.-All structures were operated and maintained in a serviceable condition throughout the year. In addition to ordi- rnary repairs and painting of structures, plant, etc., 19,000 cubic yards: of material were placed for the construction of a dike and restoration of fill at abutment at lock and dam No. 3. At lock No. 4 the upper lock gates of the riverward lock chamber were removed and replaced with a set of repaired gates. At lock No. 5 both lock chambers were unwatered and repairs made to the lower landward lock gates, filling valves, and miter sills. At lock No. 7 the upper and lower lock gates were removed and replaced with a set of repaired gates. At locks Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 12 the accumulated silt and debris were dredged from the lock chambers and lock approaches. The U. S. derrick boat Monallo dredged an area of 80,400 square feet to an average depth of 12 feet, removing 14,500 cubic yards of material in pool No. 2. The U. S. derrick boat Monallo dredged an area of 63,750 square feet to an average depth of 12 feet, removing 9,500 cubic yards of material in pool No. 4. The total costs during the fiscal year were $457,632.77, of which $55,345.78 was for new work, $402,291.30 for operation and care (regu- lar funds), and minus $4.31 for operation and care from permanent indefinite appropriation. The total expenditures during the fiscal year were $421,846.28, of which $55,345.78 was for new work and $366,500.50 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 99 per- cent complete. The 13 locks and darns are in serviceable condition.

BEAVER AND MAHONING RIVERS, PA. AND OHIO Location.-The Mahoning River rises in northeastern Ohio and flows generally southeasterly to a point near New Castle, Pa., where it unites with the Shenango River to form the Beaver River. The Beaver River flows in a southerly direction for 21 miles and empties into the Ohio River at a point about 25 miles below Pittsburgh, Pa. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 12 feet deep from the mouth of the Beaver River to Struthers, Ohio, with a width of 250 feet in the Beaver 'River and 200 feet in the Mahoning River, increased to 300 feet at bends. The estimated cost to the United States is $37,000,000 for new work and $630,000 for annual maintenance and operation. This channel is to be obtained by the construction of dams with twin locks 56 by 360 feet, by dredging, and by the construction of one water supply reservoir only, with such modifications as in the discretion of the Chief of Engineers may be advisable. The project width and depth is as provided in House Document No. 277, Seventy-. third Congress, second session, as a Federal project and to continue to Lake Erie at or near Ashtabula, Ohio, subject to the final ap- proval of the whole project from the Ohio River to Lake Erie by the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved August 30, 1935 (H. Doc. No. 277, 73d Cong., 2d sess.), which document contains the latest published maps. Local cooperation.-The project is subject to the condition that local interests shall furnish, free of cost to the United States, all necessary rights-of-way and flowage rights except the lands and flowage necessary for the reservoir; shall furnish suitable areas for the disposal of dredged material during initial construction and future maintenance as and when needed; shall guarantee the United States against all claims for damages incident to the improvement, including claims for water rights; and shall construct, maintain, and operate all highway bridges and road changes needed for the im- provement, free of cost to the United States; and provided further that before improvement is undertaken local authorities shall agree to operate the Milton Reservoir under the supervision of the Chief of Engineers for the primary purpose of increasing the low-water flow in the interest of navigation; and local interests shall furnish assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will pro- vide at their own expense suitable and adequate terminals and dredge the harbor areas adjacent thereto in accordance with plans approved by the Chief of Engineers. The signing of agreements by local au- thorities to operate the Milton Reservoir under supervision of the Chief of Engineers, and their acceptance by the Chief of Engineers, has been the only work of a cooperative nature undertaken. Terminal facilities.-None at the present time. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Same as described in the project document. No work has been done on the existing project. Proposed operations.-No operations are contemplated during the fiscal years 1939 and 1940. 1254 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

OHIO RIVER, OPEN-CHANNEL WORK For report on this improvement, see page 1244. 6. YOUGHIOGHENY RIVER, PA. Location.-This river, the principal tributary of the Monongahela, rises in Preston County, W. Va., near the western boundary of Mary- land and flows northwestward 123 miles to McKeesport, Pa., where it empties into the Monongahela River 15.5 miles above its mouth. See United States Geological Sulrvey charts for Pennsylvania, Mary- land, and West Virginia. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1261 Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts approved June 25, 1910, and January 21, 1927. The total costs and expenditures prior to the adoption of the existing project in 1930 were $48,894.75, of which $47,194.75 was for new work and $1,700 for maintenance. For further details see page 1274, Annual Report for 1929. Existing project.-This provides for the canalization of the river from the mouth to West Newton, Pa., 18 miles, by the construction of two locks and dams. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1935, is $4,197,000. There is no approved estimate for annual maintenance. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved July 3, 1930 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 9, 61st Cong., 2d sess.). The project was modified by the Chief of Engineers September 7, 1934, to provide for two locks and dams in lieu of three locks and dams previously authorized. A map of the river is printed in House Document No. 82, Fifty-sixth Congress, first session. The Chief of Engineers is authorized to revise the plans and estimates to meet any changes in conditions. Terminal facilities.-Privatelymaintained terminals for unloading coal, sand, gravel, manufactured products, etc., ample for present requirements, exist at McKeesport, Pa. Operations and results during fiscal year.-No operations were performed during the fiscal year, except soundings and minor survey work preliminary to dredging. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The effect of pool No. 2, Monon- gahela River, on the dredged channel at the lower position of the Youghiogheny River, permits of occasional movements at low-water stage from the mouth of Fifteenth Street, McKeesport, Pa., by ves- sels of approximately 9 feet draft. No construction work has yet been done on the canalization project adopted by the 1930 River and Harbor Act. The total cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year is $25,982.62, all for maintenance. The total expenditures under the existing project to the end of the fiscal year were $25,955.76. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance, amounting to $10,883.49, will be applied to hired labor dredging of a 9-foot chan- nel between the mouth and Fifteenth Street, McKeesport, Pa., during July 1938. An additional sum of $10,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940, to be applied to maintenance dredging of the 9-foot channel, mouth to Fifteenth Street, McKeesport, Pa. The relative desirability of the improvement in the interests of commerce and navigation entails the postponement of new work on the canalization project adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930.

TYGART RIVER DAM, W. VA. Location.-The Tygart River has its source in Pocahontas County, W. Va., and flows northerly for a distance of about 131 miles to its junction with the West Fork at Fairmont, W. Va., where it forms the head of the Monongahela River. The dam site for the Tygart River Reservoir is located on the Tygart River in Taylor and Bar- bour Counties, 2.25 miles above Grafton, W. Va. Existing project.-The construction of a concrete gravity-type dam was authorized by the Public Works Administration January 11,. 1934, and adopted by the River and Harbor Act approved August 30, 1935. This dam, 1,880 feet in length at the spillway crest and rising 209 feet above the elevation of the river bed, will provide for the storage of 100,000 acre-feet to make up the deficiency of water in the Monongahela River during low rainfall periods and for the ad- ditional storage of 190,000 acre-feet for flood prevention in the. Monongahela and Ohio Valleys. The estimated cost of new work revised in 1937, is $18,300,000, with $45,000 for annual maintenance and operation. Operations and results during fiscal year-Regular fwnds.-The removal of 1,447 cubic yards of common excavation and the place- ment of 47,698 cubic yards of concrete and 39,354 cubic yards of back- fill completed the contract for the construction of the dam. The com- plete removal of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad from within the reservoir basin was accomplished by contract. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1263 The clearing of the reservoir basin to elevation 1090, installation of the water service piping for the dam, erection of the stilling pool protection fence, assembly and erection of the drift boom above the dam, and grouting of the monolith joints were completed by hired labor. The total costs, all for new work, were $1,606,136.85. The total expenditures during the fiscal year were $1,645,001.97. Public Works funds: The balance of funds allotted by the Public Works Administration was applied to the liquidation of construction contract obligations and the acquisition of land and flowage ease- ments. The total costs, all for new work, were $60,993.45. The total expenditures during the fiscal year from funds allotted by the Public Works Administration were $147,608.83. Emergency Relief funds.-Costs and expenditures during the fis- cal year were minus $5. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project is 99 percent com- pleted. The contract work for construction of the dam has been completed, and the removal of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad within the reservoir basin has been completed by contract. The dam is now in operation as a unit of the reservoir system in the Allegheny and Monongahela River Basin for protection of Pittsburgh and the upper Ohio Valley generally. The total cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $5,774,431.28, regular funds, $10,000,000 Public Works funds, and $1,999,995 Emergency Relief funds, a total of $17,774,426.28, all for new work. The total expenditures were $17,739,189.34, of which $5,739,244.34 was regular funds, $9,999,950 Public Works funds, and $1,999,995 Emergency Relief funds.

MUSKINGUM RIVER, OHIO Location.-The Muskingum River, 111.75 miles in length, and lying entirely in the State of Ohio, is formed by the junction of the Walhonding and Tuscarawas Rivers at Coshocton, Ohio, flows in a southerly direction and empties into the Ohio River at Marietta, Ohio, 172.2 miles below Pittsburgh, Pa. Existing project.-This authorized the taking over, restoration, maintenance, and operation of the State works and plant to provide slack-water navigation between lock No. 1, at Marietta, Ohio, and Dresden, Ohio, a distance of 93 miles. Navigation is afforded by 11 locks and dams and 4 short lateral canals. The maximum depth which it is now possible to maintain without extensive improvement is 4.5 feet, although in certain portions 5.5 feet is available. Above the site of the old lock No. 11 the minimum depth actually main- tained is 2 feet. The navigable depth between lock No. 1 and the mouth, a distance of 0.25 mile, is provided by dam No. 18, Ohio River, and by dredging. The original estimate of cost of restoring the dams taken over from the State of Ohio was $200,000. To this was added later the 1292 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 construction of a new lock and dam No. 11, at a cost of about $143,000, the repair and extension of a levee at dam No. 10, and some minor work, the net total expended from specific appropriations having been $301,722.53. The estimate of annual cost of operation and care of the locks and dams, made in 1937, is $99,500. The construction of a new lock No. 1 was done in connection with the construction of an ice harbor as part of the Ohio River improvement and was not a part of this project. Operating and care of the locks and dams were included in the project July 1, 1935, under the provisions of the Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act approved June 26, 1934. No map of the river has been published.

Remainder of dam, including pier and abutment, on rock. 10 Replaced an older lock and dam located 2.6 miles farther upstream. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-Terminal facilities consist of a privately owned wharf boat at Marietta, at a point on the Ohio River approxi- mately 600 feet above the mouth of the Muskingum. There are nu- merous public and private landings, generally unimproved, at points accessible to the public highways, and in a few instances having rail- road connections. A dock for loading coal from motor trucks to barges is located at mile 72. Coal shipped from this dock is unloaded at a slip situated at mile 68. Three yards principally equipped for unloading sand and gravel are situated at miles 0.1, 0.9, and 76, respectively. Numerous landings, not equipped, are used to stock pile sand and gravel for State and County roads. Nine private ter- minals for handling petroleum products exist on the river. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The locks and dams were operated as required and the necessary repairs to maintain in serviceable condition were made thereto and to the appurtenant structures. Sufficient dredging was done through bars in the channel and deposit removed from canals, lock chambers, entrances, and ap- proaches to permit the passage of commercial tows. Navigation was suspended through lock 9 for approximately 3 hours on April 15, 1938, due to a collision of a commercial tow with the upper guard wall. The total cost of maintenance and improvement was $77,255.87, all of which was for operating and care of locks and dams. The total expenditures were $80,321.50. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The locks and dams as a whole are in a fair condition considering their age-nearly 100 years. The available depth for navigation is 4.5 feet. The total cost at the end of the fiscal year was as follows: New work------------------- $301, 722. 53 Maintenance (repairs to levee, dam No. 10, Zanesville, Ohio, act of Mar. 3, 1925) -------------------------------------------- 5, 462. 08 Maintenance and improvement (operating and care)----------- --- 258, 597. 97 Total_ -- - -.- ----------- 565, 782. 58 1294 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

MUSKINGUM RIVER VALLEY RESERVOIRS, OHIO Location.-The Muskingum River Valley lies in southeastern Ohio, and the river, with its tributaries, drains approximately 8,000 square miles. Its headwaters rise about 25 miles south of Lake Erie and it flows into the Ohio River at Marietta, Ohio, 172.2 miles below Pittsburgh, Pa. Existing project.-Under the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery Act the Public Works Administration made an allotment of $22,090,000 to aid in financing the construction of 14 reservoirs and for stream-channel improvelmealt, by straightening, widening, and deepening the stream and construction of walls and levees, and other works incident thereto, in the Muskingum Valley of eastern Ohio. The construction of 15 reservoirs was originally authorized by the Public Works Administration February 20, 1934, and one reservoir (Freeport) was eliminated and the stream-channel im- provement of the Tuscarawas River at Massillon, Ohio, authorized February 8, 1935 (amended official plan approved by the Chief of Engineers May 16, 1935). An additional amendment of the official plan, providing for a change in the right-of-way of the relocated Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in the Bolivar Reservoir, was approved by the Chief of Engineers August 19, 1936, and on May 13, 1937, the conservancy court further approved the elimination of stream- channel improvement of the Tuscarawas River at Massillon, Ohio, from the official plan (approved by the Chief of Engineers, July 9, 1937). A further amendment of the official plan to provide for the elimination of the Sandyville levee was approved by the Chief of Engineers, February 2, 1938. Additional allotments of $3,500,000 and $1,600,000 were made on February 13, 1936, and July 23, 1937, respectively, by the Public Works Administration, to cover the in- creased costs of the reservoirs and local protective works and to cover the acquisition of land or flood easements from the Muskingum water- shed conservancy district of Ohio. The allotments were made on the application of the Muskingum watershed conservancy district, which has agreed to furnish rights-of-way, flowage rights, and other 1296 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 expenses not directly involved in the actual construction of the reser- voirs and local protective works. The Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, authorized and directed the Secretary of War to reimburse the Muskingum conserv- ancy district in Ohio, a sum not to exceed the actual expenditures made by it in acquiring lands, easements, and rights-of-way for reservoirs in the Muskingum River Valley, but such reimbursements shall not exceed $4,500,000, nor include any expenditures for lands, easements, and rights-of-way heretofore or hereafter purchased from said district by the United States. The total estimated cost of the project to the Government, exclud- ing the cost to the Muskingum watershed conservancy district, and exclusive of reimbursement to the Muskingum conservancy district of not to exceed $4,500,000, is $27,190,000. The project includes the construction of 14 reservoirs and stream- channel improvement, all new work, located as follows: Reservoir Elevations M. S. L.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-ZANESVILLE, OHIO, DISTRICT 1299 Local cooperation.-Underan agreement entered into on March 29, 1934, as amended February 8, 1935, between the Public Works Ad- ministration and the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District the district agrees to contribute to the cost of the project by making available and expending the sum of $12,000,000. This contribution shall include title in the district to all necessary lands and easements, the cost of appraisals and other administrative and legal expenses, and the expense (including construction costs) of all necessary relo- cations and vacations of public highways. The conservancy district further agrees to maintain, operate, and protect the completed proj- ect, and that operation shall be in such manner as in the judgment of the Chief of Engineers will best serve the interests of navigation and flood control on the Muskingum and Ohio Rivers. It also agrees to save the United States harmless from all claims for damages arising from the construction, maintenance, and operation of the project. Since the total of the conservancy district's expenditures and commit- ments as of January 1, 1936, were less than $12,000,000, the amount stipulated in the agreement, the conservancy district has agreed to make available and expend or cause to be expended in the suc- ceeding 2 years an amount not less than the difference between said total and said sum of $12,000,000, if and to the extent that the Chief of the Corps of Engineers shall deem such expenditures necessary for the accomplishment of the project and official plan and properly to be contributed by the conservancy district. The conservancy district is engaged in making appraisals and securing the necessary titles, easements, and flowage rights. This office has received, and it is anticipated that .it will continue to receive, full cooperation from the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Contract drawings and specifications were completed for 1 project for removal of aban- doned railroad tracks and bridges, 3 eservoir clearing projects, furnishing and installing pumps, piping, and accessories for 1 levee project, 1 drilling and grouting project, and 13 garages; 16 agreements were made with public utility companies for relocations of their facilities and all relocations which could not be effected by company forces were completed by hired labor. Preliminary studies for protection works and channel correction at Newark, Zanesville, and Buckeye Lake, Ohio, and for Dillon Reservoir on the Licking River, Ohio, were completed. Detailed study and design of protection works for Roseville, Ohio, were completed. The acquisition of 77 tracts of land in fee, and of flowage easements on 172 additional tracts, was consummated with the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy Dis- trict. Soil laboratory tests were made and laboratory tests of cement and concrete samples were conducted. New work by contract on the dams, railroad relocations, levees, public utility relocations, and operator's quarters was accomplished as follows: Atwood damn.-Construction of the dam was completed.'

VA. Location.-This river, 160 miles in length, rises on the western slope of Laurel Hill, W. Va., flows in a general northwesterly direc- tion, and empties into the Ohio River at Parkersburg, W. Va. Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act ap- proved August 14, 1876. The amount expended on previous projects prior to commencement of operations under the existing project was $214,418, of which $213,513.30 was for new work an' $904.70 for main- tenance. For further details see page 1912 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for five locks with fixed dams, to give a navigable depth of 4 feet from the mouth of the river to Creston, a distance of 48 miles. Under this project one lock and dam (No. 5) was constructed, and four locks and dams (Nos. 1 to 4) were purchased from the Little Kanawha Navigation Co. The cost of purchase and repair of locks and dams Nos. 1 to 4 was $282,059.50, and the cost of constructing lock and dam No. 5 was $167,875. The estimate of annual cost of operation and care of the locks and dams, made in 1936, is $32,300. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents and reports June 14,1880_ Construction of a lock and dam (No. 5), 2 miles above Annual Report 1875, pt. 1, p. 740.

Terminal facilities.-Terminal facilities consist of a gasoline- and oil-loading station and a stiff-leg derrick located about 11/2 miles above the mouth of the river. The terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.--The locks and dams were operated as required and the necessary repairs made. Naviga- tion was suspended 36 day's on account of extreme high water. The cost of maintenance during the fiscal year was $11,452.09. The ex- penditures were $11,185.17. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The locks and dams are in fair condition. The available depth for navigation is 4.0 feet. The total cost under the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $327,793.06, of which $257,022.72 was for new work and $70,770.34 for maintenance. The expenditures were $327,030.65, of which $257,- 022.72 was for new work and $70,007.93 for maintenance.

BIG SANDY RIVER, W. VA. AND KY., INCLUDING LEVISA AND TUG FORKS Location.-Big Sandy River, 27 miles in length, is formed by the junction of the Levisa and Tug Forks at Louisa, Ky., flows in a northerly direction, and empties into the Ohio River at Catlettsburg, Ky. Levisa Fork,- 160 miles in length, rises in southwestern Vir- ginia and flows in a general northerly direction; and Tug Fork, 154 miles in.length, rises in southwestern West Virginia and flows in a general northwesterly direction. Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of July 18, 1878, June 14, 1880, and July 13, 1892. Total cost and expendi- tures on original and modified projects were 3 .16. (For fur- ther details see Annual Report for 1915, p. 1929.) Existing project.-This provides for three locks and dams on the main river, two locks and dams each on Levisa Fork and Tug Fork, and regulating works below lock No. 1, reaching to the Ohio River. Only the three locks and dams on the main river and the lower lock and dam on each fork have been constructed. The existing improve- ment gives a connection with pool formed by dam No. 29, Ohio River,, a slack-water depth of 6 feet from the Ohio River to Louisa, Ky., 27 miles, and thence to Cox Branch on Levisa Fork and to Bear Branch on Tug Fork, 17.5 and 12.5 miles, respectively, above Louisa. The clearing of the forks above slack-water limits to Pikeville on Levisa Fork and to Pond Creek on Tug Fork is also included in the project. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1928, is $2,256,800. The estimated cost of operation and care of the locks and dams, made in 1936, is $33,000 annually. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents and reports June 14, 1880.

Recommended modifications of project.--Recommendation was made September 8, 1914, that the slack-water improvement of the Tug and Levisa Forks be discontinued (H. Doc. No. 1159, 63d Cong., 2d sess.). Terminal facilities.-Terminal facilities consist of two privately owned terminals, one at Kenova, W. Va., and one at Leach, Ky. The terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year-Operating and care.- The locks and dams were operated as required and necessary repairs made thereto and to the appurtenant structures. The cost during the fiscal year was $25,439.19, all for maintenance. The costs from funds previously provided from the permanent indefinite appropriation were reduced in the amount of $1.83. The expenditures were $24,394.67, which includes $65.43 from the permanent indefinite appropriation. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The locks and dams are in fair condition. The 6-foot slack-water depth is available for about 7 miles above the mouth. Above this point the slack-water depth is reduced to 4 feet. For details of locks and dams see table under paragraph "Existing project." The total cost under the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $1,376,178.17, of which $1,205,804.92 was for new work and $170,373.25 for maintenance, including $105,515.59 for operation and care. The cost of operation and care from funds previously provided by permanent indefinite appropriation were ad- justed during the year by a reduction of $1.83. The total expenditures were $1,373,376.24, of which $1,205,804.92 was for new work and $167,571.32 for maintenance. In addition, the sum of $1,002,273.16 was expended between January 1897 and June 30, 1938, on the oper- ation and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes. The former expenditure was increased during the year by the amount of $65.43. 1320 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Location.-The Kentucky River is formed by the confluence of its north and middle forks about 4 miles east of the town of Beattyville in east central Kentucky, the south fork joining the main stream at that place. (See U. S. Geological Survey chart for State of Ken- tucky; scale, 1: 500,000.) RIVERS AND HARBORS-CINCINNATI, OHIO, DISTRICT 1339 Existing project.-The project provides for 14 locks and fixed dams to give, in connection with the improvement of the Ohio River, slack- water navigation of 6 feet minimum depth from the Ohio River to points on the three forks a short distance above Beattyville, Ky. The total length of pool water of 6-foot project depth is about 263 miles. The river frequently rises to a height of 50 feet in the lower part and 30 feet in the upper part. The extreme height due to floods from Ohio River backwater is 75 feet at Lock No. 1, and occasional floods exceed 40 feet in the upper pools. The original estimate of cost, which contemplated the rehabilitation of the five State locks and dams and the extension of slack water to the three forks at Beattyville, was $1,074,402, revised later to $4,865,- 550 for its completion. The estimated cost of operation and care of the locks and dams, made in 1936, is $172,500, annually. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1879, in accordance with the report published in House Executive Document No. 47, Forty-fifth Congress, third session (An- nual Report 1879, p. 1398). Operation and care of the locks and dams were included in the project July 1, 1935, under the provisions of the Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act, approved June 26, 1934.

Terminal facilities.-Practicallyno terminal facilities exist for general merchandise and miscellaneous freight. At and near Beatty- ville and Ravenna large tanks are located for the storage of oil which was formerly shipped in barges by the river. Tanks for receiving 1340 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 gasoline are located at Carrollton, Frankfort, and Camp Nelson, Ky. Ten inclines for receiving coal, two chutes for delivering coal, two inclines for receiving logs, one derrick for receiving sand and gravel, one conveyor for shipping, and one crane for receiving sand, gravel, etc., all small in character and mostly used intermittently only, are located at various points on the river. Operations and results during fiscal year-operation and care.- The locks and necessary plant were maintained in satisfactory con- dition. Traffic was suspended temporarily at locks Nos. 6, 7, 12, 13, and 14 while repairs on these structures were in progress. There were also temporary interruptions to traffic caused by high water. The full project depth of 6 feet was not maintained during ex- treme low-water periods in the upper ends of the pools of dams Nos. 12 and 13. These dams have movable A-frame crests which increase the pool heights 2 feet but the crests were not raised during the year as there was no navigation in the pools requiring the full project depth in the channel. Sufficient dredging was done through bars in the channel, and deposit removed from lock chambers, entrances, and approaches to permit the passage of commercial tows. The major items of main- tenance of lock structures were repairs to the valves in locks Nos. 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14; installation of new upper gate and spare lower gate in lock 6; installation of cast-iron quoin liners in locks Nos. 12, 13, and 14; and placing stone riprap on the slipping bank below the abutment of the main dam at lock No. 10. The cost of maintenance work was $246,315.51. The total ex- penditures for the year were $233,717.07. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1917 at a saving of $689,910 under the estimated cost. The work accomplished under the project has been the rehabilitation of the five old State locks and dams and the construction of new locks and dams Nos. 6 to 14. The year of completion of the various locks and dams is given in the table in the paragraph "Existing project." The condition of the works varies for the individual structures. The limestone lock walls at locks Nos. 1 to 8, inclusive, are in fair condi- tion but are deteriorating rapidly. Many of the face stones in the walls have spalled considerably and the mortar between the stones is out in many places. The conditions of the concrete-tapped, stone- filled timber-crib dams at locks Nos. 1 to 8 vary from fair to poor. The dams are settling in places and some of the concrete caps are cracked and considerably eroded. The remaining locks and dams, Nos. 9 to 14, inclusive, are of concrete construction and the masonry is generally in good condition. Locks Nos. 8 and 9 are difficult to operate on ac- count of large leakages through crevices and seams in the limestone foundations of the lock walls. The condition of the lock gates, valves, and other appurtenances varies from fair to poor. The concrete guide and guard walls and piers at the locks are mostly founded on stone-filled timber cribs and are generally in poor condi- tion. Due to deterioration of the supporting cribs, most of these walls and piers are settling and leaning and some actual failures have occurred. The channel is in fair condition. Though the works are generally not in good condition, they are still in operation. RIVERS AND HARBORS-CINCINNATI, OHIO, DISTRICT 1341 The total cost on this project to the end of the fiscal year was $4,545,326.08, of which $4,176,749.05 was for new work and $368,577.03 for maintenance (operation and care). The expenditures were $4,527,713.75. In addition the sum of $6,405,371.78 was expended be- tween July 5, 1884, and June 30, 1937, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent in- definite appropriation for such purposes.

The upstream end of the project is about 324.5 miles below Pitts- burgh, Pa. Existing project.-The existing project consists of the construction of earth levees and concrete flood walls to protect Ironton against Ohio River floods to a stage equivalent to that of the 1937 flood (the maximum of record) with a 3-foot freeboard. The length of the project is approximately 7.4 miles, extending along the Ohio River front for the entire length between the Ironton corporate limits. The cost of the project for new work, as estimated in 1938, is $3,352,700 for construction and $582,000 for rights-of-way and damages. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act of August 28, 1937. Local cooperation.-See page 8. The requirements are being fulfilled. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Field surveys, foundation investigations, and the preparation of a definite project report were initiated and completed during the fiscal year. Construction of the project was begun April 13, 1938, and by June 30, 1938, approxi- mately 300 lineal feet of earth-fill levee had been completed. The cost of new work during the year was: Regular funds, $56,366.24 and Emergency Relief Administration funds, $53,712.03; a total cost of $110,078.27. The total expenditures were $159,804.83, of which $111,062.89 was from regular funds and $48,741.94 from Emergency Relief Adminis- tration funds. All of the work performed through June 30, 1938, was accomplished with hired labor. Condition at end of fiscal year.-At the end of the fiscal year the project was approximately 3 percent complete. Approximately 300 lineal feet of earth-fill levee, together with work incident to the con- struction thereof, had been completed to the design grade and dimen- :sions. The work remaining to be done consists of the construction 'of about 33,100 lineal feet of earth levee, about 5,800 lineal feet of (concrete wall, and appurtenant works. The total cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year, all new work, was regular funds 1$56,366.24 and Emergency Relief Administration funds $53,712.03, a total cost of $110,078.27.

GREEN, BARREN, AND NOLIN RIVERS AND BEAR CREEK, KY. Location.-Green River rises in Casey County, Ky., flows in a northwesterly direction 370 miles, and empties into the Ohio River about 8 miles above Evansville, Ind. Barren River rises in Monroe County, Ky., flows in a northwesterly direction 130 miles, and empties into Green River one-haif mile above lock No. 4 and 149.5 miles above the mouth of Green River. Bear Creek rises in Grayson County, Ky., flows in a southerly direction 40 miles, and empties into Green River 0.3 mile above new lock No. 5 and 168.4 miles above the mouth of Green River. RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOUISVILLE, KY., DISTRICT 1359 Nolin River rises in Larue County, Ky., flows in a southwesterly direction about 105 miles, and empties into the Green River 1.8 miles above lock No. 6 and 183.5 miles above the mouth of Green River. Existing project.-This provides for the purchase of improvements made prior to 1884 by the State of Kentucky, consisting of locks and dams Nos. 1 to 4, Green River, and No. 1, Barren River, which gave a continuous 4-foot depth for navigation from Bowling Green, on the Barren River, to the mouth of Green River; the reconstruction of lock No. 2, Green River; the upstream extension of slack-water navi- gation on Green River to Mammoth Cave, Ky., by the construction of locks and dams Nos. 5 and 6 and by the removal of snags and slides; the construction of new locks at dam No. 1, Barren River, and at dam No. 5, Green River; the raising of the crest of dam No. 5, Green River, 2 feet, by means of a movable A-frame top; the improvement of Nolin River by the removal of obstructive bars, boulders, overhanging rocks, and snags; and the improvement of Bear Creek by removing snags and widening the bends. The project for Green River extends from the mouth to Mammoth 'Cave, Ky., a distance of 197.8 miles; for Barren River from the mouth to Bowling Green, Ky., a distance of 30.1 miles; for Nolin River from the mouth to Meredith Ferry, a distance of 73/4 miles; and for Bear Creek, Ky., for a distance of 8 miles above its mouth. The navigable depth in the improved portions is limited to 5 feet by the elevations of the existing lock miter sills. Fluctuations in stage vary considerably at the different locks. At lock No. 3, Green River, ordinary fluctuations due to high stages are from 12 to 15 feet above the pool level, and at lock No. 1, Barren River, from 7 to 10 feet above pool. The maximum stages of record are 34 feet above normal pool stage at lock No. 3, Green River, and 29 feet at lock No. 1, Barren River. These stages were obtained during the floods of 1937 and 1913, respectively. The principal data concerning the locks and dams are shown in the following table: Location Greatest Depth Depth Lock anWidth length Lift at on lower on upper dam dam Distance of lock available normal miter sill miter sill Nearest town from chambe for full pool at normal at normal mouth of width pool level pool level river GREEN RIVER Miles Feet Feet Feet Feet Feet No. 1 .

For map of the Green, Barren, and Rough Rivers, see H. Doc. No. 81, 73d Cong., 1st sess. Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, provides that in connection with the improvement of Bear Creek, Ky., local interests are to contribute $10,000 to the first cost of the dredging, provide necessary rights-of-way at the bends, furnish with- out cost to the United States satisfactory areas for the disposal of excavated material, and assume all flowage damages along Bear Creek. These conditions have not been met. RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOUISVILLE, KY., DISTRICT 1361 The River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, provides that local interests provide any land or easements required for the purpose of the improvement of Nolin River. Local interests have been unable to obtain easements required for the removal of overhanging rock ledges at Whistle Mountain. Terminal facilities.-On the lower reaches of the Green River there are four terminals for the shipment of coal, one for the receipt of logs,, two used for the repair of boats and barges, one for the receipt of petroleum products, and one for the shipment of quarried stone. On the upper reaches of Green River there is one natural rock asphalt shipping terminal and also one on the Nolin River, a tributary of Green River. Terminals on the Barren River are located at Bowling: Green, Ky., and consist of two terminals for transfer of asphalt from barge to railroad, one for sand and gravel, one for petroleum products, and two paved wharves. One of the wharves is open to the public. At various points along the Green and Barren Rivers there are also about 50 privately controlled unimproved landings. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work during the year consisted of removing boulders, snags, slides, and other obstruc- tions from the channel in Nolin River by hired labor at a cost of $6,570.33. Maintenance work consisted of the maintenance and oper- ation of the seven locks and dams in the Green and Barren Rivers at a cost of $43,820.27 and the removal of obstructions from the channel in the pools of the dams at a cost of $25,878.83, a total of $69,699.10 for maintenance. The combined cost of new work and maintenance was $76,269.43. The expenditures were $76,570.84. All work was done with regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The canalization system on Green and Barren Rivers is in only fair condition, except for lock No. 1 Barren River, and lock and dam No. 5, Green River, which are new. The controlling navigable depth in the sections covered by the exist- ing project was 5 feet at the end of the fiscal year. New work on the Green and Barren Rivers was completed in 1934. The new work re- maining to be done consists of removing overhanging rock ledges at Whistle Mountain on Nolin River provided for by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, and the improvement of Bear Creek provided for by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930. The costs to the end of the fiscal year were as follows: Public Emer- Regular Works gency funds Relief fund funds New work.----. --.------------------------------------ $2, 359, 769. 45 $85,000 -.....

ROUGH RIVER, KY. Location.-This stream is one of the principal tributaries of Green River and lies wholly within the State of Kentucky. It rises in Hardin County, flows westerly 136 miles, and empties into Green River at Livermore, 71 miles from the mouth of that river. (See U. S. Geological Survey Charts, Kentucky Quadrangles: Central City, Hartford, Whitesville.) Existing project.-This provides for clearing the river of obstruc- tions and for the construction of a lock and dam to carry slack water to Hartford, Ky. The new work provided for having been com- pleted, the project now contemplates the maintenance of the lock and dam and keeping the river channel free from snags and other ob- structions to navigation. At the lock the ordinary fluctuations due to floods vary from 6 to 10 feet above pool level. During the flood of 1937 a stage of about 26 feet above pool stage was reached. The location and principal dimensions, etc., of the lock are as follows: Name: Lock No. 1, Rough River.

Lake Survey Chart No. 9.) Existing project.--This provides for rock-filled timber crib break- water piers 350 feet iii length from the east and west points of the bay to narrow the entrance; for constructing concrete sea walls across the ledge at the southeast corner of the harbor; and for dredging an anchorage area of 36.5 acres to a depth of 16 feet with depths near the RIVERS AND HARBORS-DULUTH, MINN., DISTRICT 1399 entrance of 18 and 20 feet, all depths referred to low-water datum for Lake Superior, which is 601.6 feet above mean tide at New York. The ordinary variation of water level extends from 0 to +1 foot above low-water datum. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $209,000. The latest (1935) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $6,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents and reports Mar. 3, 1879 Breakwaters and dredging of anchorage area of H. Ex. Doc. No. 75, 43d Cong., 2d sess. 26 acres to 16 feet. (Annual Report 1875, p. 184).

(contains deepening of entrance. latest published map). Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-There are three privately owned wharves. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Repairs were made to the east and west breakwaters by Government plant and hired labor, consisting of placing riprap along the base of the cribs and replacing armor plates where necessary. The costs were $15,116.46 for riprapping and $4,902.39 for armor- plate repairs, a total of $20,018.85 for maintenance work. The expenditures were $29,262.24. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1937. Project depth of 16 feet is available in the anchorage basin dredged by the United States and by private parties under permit. Under permits to private parties, 420,795 cubic yards have been dredged since 1922 without cost to the United States. No private dredging was done during the fiscal year. Project depths of 18 and 20 feet are available in the entrance channel. The concrete sea walls are in excellent condition. The breakwaters are in good condition, except that some armor plates were torn off during storms of the winter and spring of 1937-38. The gravel spit along the eastern side of the harbor is too low to prevent waves from rolling into the harbor during severe storm periods. The total costs of the existing project at the end of the fiscal year were $209,819.91 for new work and $121,236.74 for maintenance, a total of $331,056.65. The total expenditures were $330,944.85. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1938, $6,458.45, will be applied to maintenance, as follows: Accounts payable -------------------------------------- $111. 80 Repairing and replacing armor plates on breakwaters, with hired labor, during July and August 1938------------------------------------ 6, 346. 65 Total---------------------------------------------------- 6, 458. 45 No work is contemplated during the fiscal year 1940, therefore no funds can be profitably expended. 1400 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

DULUTH-SUPERIOR HARBOR, MINN. AND WIS. Location. -This harbor is at the extreme western end of Lake Superior. The cities of Duluth, Minn., and Superior, Wis., are situated on the north and south sides, respectively. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 966.) Previous projects.-Superior and Duluth were separate improve- ments until consolidated by the River and Harbor Act of June 3, 1896. The original project for the harbor at Superior City was adopted by River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1867; for Duluth Harbor by River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871. These projects were modified by River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1873, March 3, 1881, July 5, 1884, August 5, 1886, August 11, 1888, and July 13, 1892. The total cost and expenditures were $1,547,195, which cannot be divided as to new work and maintenance. For further details see page 1929 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for (a) rebuilding the canal piers at Duluth entry with stone-filled timber-crib substructure and con- crete superstructure, 1,734 feet long and 300 feet apart for 1,250 feet, then flaring to 540 feet apart at the harbor end; (b) replacing the north and south piers at Superior entry with concrete piers, 2,096 and 1,584 feet long, respectively, 500 feet apart for 808 feet, then flaring at the harbor end; (c) constructing 4,205 feet of rubble- RIVERS AND HARBORS-DULUTH, MINN., DISTRICT 1401 mound breakwaters, 900 feet of concrete pierheads on stone-filled cribs, and 896 feet of concrete shore revetments at Superior entry, the lake ends being 600 feet apart on the 30-foot contour in prolonga- tion of the entrance channel and diverging to 2,100 feet apart at the shore line; (d) for dredging a flared lake approach to Duluth entry 32 feet deep, and a channel between the piers 32 feet deep at the pierheads, gradually decreasing to 26 feet at the harbor basin; (e) a depth of 26 feet in the northern part of the harbor basin inside Duluth entry consisting of 201 acres; a depth of 25 feet in the southern portion of the harbor basin and part of the East Gate Basin; and a depth of 22 feet in the remainder of East Gate Basin, and in Superior Front Channel, through Superior Bay, 600 feet in width, extending to Superior Harbor Basin, a distance of 13,200 feet; (f) a flared lake approach to Superior entry 32 feet deep; a channel between the breakwater entrance and the pierheads, with a width varying from a minimum of 600 feet to a maximum of 1,100 feet, 32 feet deep at the breakwater entrance, gradually decreasing to 28 feet at the pierheads; a stilling basin of 20 acres, 24 feet deep, inside the breakwater; and a channel between the piers, 28 feet at the pierheads, gradually decreasing to 25 feet at the harbor basin; (g) a harbor basin of 290 acres, 25 feet deep, inside Superior entry; a channel in Allouez Bay 2,100 feet long, 400 feet wide, and 22 feet deep; a depth of 25 feet in the south channel of St. Louis Bay from the entrance (East Gate Basin) to the cross-channel, inclusive, with widths varying from 500 to 900 feet; (h) a depth of 25 feet in a cross-channel, with minimum width of 1,150 feet, and a depth of 25 feet in the north channel of St. Louis Bay opposite the cross- channel; elsewhere in the north channel and the south channels and the St. Louis River to a point 9,600 feet above the Grassy Point Bridge, a depth of 21 feet, and, except at Arrowhead Bridge, a minimum width of 400 feet; and a channel thence up St. Louis River 20 feet deep and 200 feet wide to Spirit Lake (southerly end of Big Island), a distance of about 14,200 feet; and (i) a channel in Howards Bay 6,000 feet long, narrowing in width from 300 to 125 feet, and 21 feet deep; and a channel 3,300 feet long, 100 feet wide, and 20 feet deep at Twenty-first Avenue West in Duluth. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Su- perior, which is 601.6 feet above mean tide at New York. Highest single gage reading, November 28, 1905, was 3.7 feet above low-water datum; lowest single gage reading, January 23, 1926, was 1.95 feet below low-water datum; the annual fluctuation is about 1 foot. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1932, was $7,100,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1932) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $100,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: 1402 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 Acts Work authorized Documents and reports June 3,1896 Dredging_ Ex.

Terminal facilities.-Except that the facilities for handling pack- age freight, lumber, and general merchandise are susceptible of im- provement, the terminal facilities, consisting of wharves, ore docks, and grain elevators, are believed to be adequate for existing com- merce, and are being increased as necessity demands. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The following main- tenance work was done by United States plants; 42,301 cubic yards of material was dredged from channels in St. Louis Bay and Duluth .Harbor Basin; and 3,013 tons of stone were placed in repairing the Superior entry breakwaters. The costs of the various items of work done during the year were as follows: $19,046.08 for dredging; $22,968.31 for breakwater repairs; and $14,001.75 for inspections, surveys, and harbor patrol. The total costs were $56,016.14, all for maintenance. The total expenditures were $55,217.97. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1935 at a saving of $242,709 under the estimated cost. The following work has been accomplished: Dredging of channels and basins under the existing project was completed in 1935; new piers, aggregating 3,468 feet in length, of concrete on stone-filled cribs founded on piles, completed in 1901 at Duluth Canal; new piers, aggregating 3,680 feet in length, of concrete on piles, completed in 1909 at Superior entry; converging breakwaters comprising 4,205 linear feet of rubble mound, 900 linear feet of stone-filled cribs and concrete superstructure pierheads founded on piles, and 896 linear feet of concrete shore revetments on pile foundations, completed in 1912. All piers and revetments are riprapped. Project depths are available in the harbor as shown by surveys completed in March 1938, except in an area along the west project line in the northwest corner of Duluth Harbor Basin, where the con- trolling depth is 21.5 feet, and along a portion of the northerly and southerly project lines of the Superior entry stilling basin. The entrance piers and breakwaters are all in good condition. The total cost was $8,729,148.73, of which $6,857,290.52 was for new work and $1,871,858.21 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $8,728,808.77.

S. ARMY, 1938 3. CORNUCOPIA HARBOR, WIS. Location.-The harbor is located at the mouth of the Siskiwit River on the south shore of Lake Superior, 49 miles east from Duluth, Minn. (See U. S. Lake Survey Charts Nos. 9 and 96.) Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel 50 feet wide and 10 feet deep between the piers constructed and maintained by local interests from Siskiwit Bay to a turning basin 200 feet long, 8 feet deep, and 140 feet wide, with a maximum width of about 180 feet; and two inner channels 50 feet wide and 8 feet deep, with lengths of 150 and 300 feet. All depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Superior, which is taken at 601.6 feet above mean tide level at New York. The ordinary variation of water level extends from 0 to + 1 foot above low-water datum. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1937, is $11,000. The latest (1937) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $200. The existing project was authorized by River and Harbor Act approved August 26, 1937 (Senate committee print, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). This document contains the latest published map. Local cooperation.--Fully complied with. Necessary easements on lands have been received, the west pier completed, and agreements obtained for necessary removal of structures and maintenance of the entrance piers, all free of cost to the United States. Terminal facilities.-About 600 lineal feet of privately owned dock- ing space are available for small fishing boats. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done or funds expended on the existing project. At the end of the fiscal year a depth of 4 feet was available in the existing channel. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1938, $11,000, will be applied to new-work dredging by contract to complete the project during the summer of 1938. No work is contemplated during the fiscal year 1940, therefore no funds can be profitably expended.

The wharves and ore docks, with the exception of those for handling lumber, are served by railroads. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. 1406 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 Operations and results during fiscal year.-No work was done or funds expended. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1935. The breakwater is in good condition, except for some settle- ment, causing low places which should be brought up to the prescribed elevations. There has been some shoaling in the west channel. On June 30, 1938, there was a controlling depth of 21 feet in the west channel and 25 feet in the basin. The total cost was $1,185,120.09, of which $732,375.49 was for new work and $452,744.60 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $1,186,806.17. Proposed operations.-No funds are available; no work is contem- plated during fiscal year 1939.

ONTONAGON HARBOR, MICH. Location.-The harbor is situated on the south shore of Lake Supe- rior. It consists of the improvement of the mouth of Ontonagon River. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 9.) Previous project.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1867. The cost and expenditures were $284,801.24 for new work and $113,326.76 for maintenance, a total of $398,128, prior to commence- ment of work under existing project in 1911. For further details see page 1931 of Annual Report for 1915. RIVERS AND HARBORS-DULUTH, MINN., DISTRICT 1407 Existing project.-This provides for a flared lake approach chan- nel 17 feet deep with widths narrowing from 400 feet at the outer end to 150 feet opposite the outer end of the west pier; a channel between the piers 150 feet wide, 17 feet deep in the outer 250 feet, and 15 feet deep in the inner 2,200 feet; an inner basin 15 feet deep and 900 feet long, extending between lines 50 feet from the existing wharves on each side of the river, the maximum width being 285 feet ; and for maintenance of this channel, basin, and the 4,990 feet of en- trance piers. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Superior, which is taken at 601.6 feet above mean tide level at New York. The ordinary variation of water level extends from 0 to +1 foot above low-water datum. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, is $19,500, ex- clusive of amount expended on previous project. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual maintenance is $13,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents and reports June 25,1910 Channel 17 feet deep and 150 feet wide through the H. Dec.

Terminal facilities.-There are 31 privately owned wharves, having a combined length of 19,040 linear feet, which are served by improve- ments made along Keweenaw Waterway. The city of Hancock has one publicly owned wharf.. The village of Houghton has wharf im- provements at the ends of three streets. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year-Maintenance.-Under regular funds with United States plant and hired labor, the follow- ing work was performed: 26 percent of stabilization repairs to 870 linear feet of mooring pier at the Lily Pond harbor of refuge; 42,313 1410 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 cubic yards of material dredged in Portage Lake; 1,273 tons of stone placed on the west breakwater at the upper entrance; and revetments repaired. New work.-Under regular funds 2,797,073 cubic yards of material was dredged by contract in deepening and widening the stilling basin, upper canal, Lily Pond, and the channel in Portage Lake and Portage River. In the upper canal and Lily Pond 97,122 cubic yards of material was dredged by United States plant and hired labor. The costs of the various items of new work done during the year were as follows: $786,461.06 for dredging by contract, $39,334.80 for dredging by Government plant and hired labor; $8,806.30 for acquisi- tion of lands and dumping easements; and $23,490.59 for preliminary examinations and surveys; a total of $858,092.75, all for new work. The costs of the various items of maintenance work done during the year were as follows: $10,781.13 for dredging by Government plant and hired labor; $4,787.53 for revetment repairs; $7,227.15 for breakwater repairs; $24,416.93 for stabilization repairs to mooring pier; and $13,198.76 for inspections, surveys, and waterway patrol; a total of $60,411.50, all for maintenance. The total costs were $918,504.25, and the total expenditures were $781,058.09. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 57 percent completed. The breakwaters are in good condition except for a weakness occurring in about 300 feet of the substructure of the breakwater at the lower entrance, and the stone-covered portions of the breakwaters at the upper entrance are in need of minor repairs. The remaining timber revetments along the waterway are in fair condition. The mooring pier at the Lily Pond requires repairs to halt movement, and that at the Portage River harbor of refuge is in good condition. Annual redredging of channels will be re- quired indefinitely. The controlling depth, as shown by the last survey completed in March 1938 was 20 feet. To complete the project there remains the general deepening, widening, and straight- ening of channels and basins to provide minimum depth of 25 feet and width of 300 feet; the extension of the lower entrance break- water, and the necessary alteration or replacement of structures due to deepening of channels. For work performed with regular funds, the costs of the exist- ing project were $3,129,199.64 for new work and $1,895,986.63 for maintenance, a total of $5,025,186.27. The total expenditures were $4,892,375.23. For work performed with Emergency Relief funds the total costs and expenditures were $182,825.77, all for new work. The total cost, all funds, was $5,208,012.04, of which $3,312,025.41 was for new work and $1,895,986.63 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $5,075,201. In addition, the sum of $402,241.74 was expended between 1893 and 1917 on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provision of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

MARQUETTE HARBOR, MICH. Location.-This harbor is situated in Marquette Bay on the south shore of Lake Superior, 160 miles west of Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., and 256 miles east from Duluth, Minn. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 935.) Existing project.-This provides for a 4,500-foot breakwater, the inner 3,000 feet of stone-filled timber cribs, and the outer 1,500 feet of rubble-mound construction, and dredging the harbor basin to a depth of 25 feet, giving a protected area of 350 acres. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Superior, which is 601.6 feet above mean tide at New York. This harbor is subject to very marked undertow, with a consequent fluctuation during storms, amounting at times to 21/ feet. The annual fluctuation is about 1 foot. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $1,307,200. The latest (1935) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $6,000.

I Included in the Public Works Administration program, Sept. 6, 1933. Terminal facilities.-These consist of one ore dock, one coal dock, three old wharves slightly used, and one freight and passenger wharf. There are also several small fish wharves without railroad connec- tions. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-No work was done or funds expended. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1935 at a saving of $189,888 under the estimated cost. The concrete-covered breakwater was completed in the fiscal year 1905, the rubble-mound portion of the breakwater in 1922, and the dredg- ing in 1935. The rubble-mound portion of the breakwater is in good condition, but patching and resurfacing are necessary on a portion of the concrete-capped breakwater. The controlling depth in the harbor is 25 feet. The costs and expenditures were $1,117,311.56 for new work and $311,232.94 for maintenance, a total of $1,428,544.50, including $72,188.05 Public Works funds for new work. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1938, $5,000, will be applied to maintenance repairs by hired labor to the rubble-mound breakwater with U. S. derrick boat Coleman during July and August 1938. The additional sum of $10,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for maintenance repairs to rubble-mound break- water with U. S. derrick boat Coleman.

GRAND MARAIS, HARBOR OF REFUGE, MICH. Location.-The harbor is situated on the south shore of Lake Su- perior, 314 miles east of Duluth, Minn., and 93 miles west of Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 9.) Existing project.-This provides for parallel timber-crib piers 500 feet apart-aggregate length 3,450 feet--extending out to a depth in the lake of 22 feet at ordinary low water; for closing the natural entrance by a pile dike 5,770 feet long; and for dredging a channel 300 feet wide and 18 feet deep between the piers, and 500 feet wide and 20 feet deep at the lake approach. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Superior, which is 601.6 feet above mean tide at New York. The ordinary variation of water level ex- tends from 0 to +1 foot above low-water datum. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1894, is $484,000. The latest (1918) approved estimate for annual maintenance is $15,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents and reports June 14, 1880 Existing project, except for pile dike_ ---------------- __ ___- (Specified in act.)

Terminal facilities.-There is no rail connection with the harbor. There are two fish wharves and one general-merchandise wharf. The facilities are considered adequate for present needs. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Repairswere made to the pile dike consisting of placing 2,193 tons of stone by Government plant and hired labor. The costs were $6,504.06 and the expenditures, $8,793, all for main- tenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 85 percent completed. Parallel piers were built 500 feet apart, 1,912 and 1,545 feet long, respectively, and a pile revetment 100 feet long at the inner end of each pier; a channel 250 feet wide and 18 feet deep was dredged between the piers from the lake to the bay; and a pile dike was built in 1895-97 to close the natural entrance 5,770 feet in width. The piers are in fair condition, except for need of scattered repairs. The timber portion of the pile dike is in poor condition and the stone protection has settled. The controlling depth in the channel is 16 feet, as shown RIVERS AND HARBORS-DULUTH, MINN., DISTRICT 1417 by a survey of May 1937. To complete the project there remains to construct 193 linear feet of crib piers and dredging to widen the inner portion of the channel, now 250 feet wide, to the project width of 300 feet. This work is not considered necessary to meet present require- ments of navigation. The costs were $355,885.29 for new work and $416,451.76 for main- tenance, a total of $772,337.05. The total expenditures were $772,- 337.05. Proposed operations.-No funds are available; no work is contem- plated during the fiscal years 1939 and 1940.

WARROAD HARBOR AND RIVER, MINN. Location.-Warroad Harbor and River are at the southwestern extremity of Lake of the Woods, 36 miles west of the mouth of Rainy River. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 842, Lake of the Woods.) Existing project.-This provides for dredging and maintaining a channel 8 feet deep from the landing at Warroad to deep water in the lake, the channel being 9,200 feet long, 200 feet wide within the harbor, and 300 feet wide out in the lake; for a turning basin 500 by 900 feet to a depth of 8 feet; and for a pile-brush-stone jetty on the north side of the channel extending from the shore 700 feet into the lake. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake of the Woods, which is 1,056 feet above mean tide at New York. This depth corresponds to a depth of 10 feet on Lake Survey Chart No. 842 of this locality. 1418 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1928, is $118,000. The latest (1928) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $10,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents and reports Mar. 3,1899 Dredging bar at mouth of Warroad River-__ Specified in act. 6,1900 }Entrance channel 300 feet wide and 7 feet deep-.. 1June H.

The latest published map is opposite page 1984 in the Annual Report for 1911. Recommended modifications of project.-Under date of June 24, 1926, the Chief of Engineers recommended that the project be cur- tailed by reducing the channel width to 100 feet and the turning basin to 250 feet (H. Doc. No. 467, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). Terminal facilities.-A pile and plank wharf 80 feet in length has been provided by the village of Warroad for free use by the public. Two commercial companies' fish wharves 60 feet in length are not open to the public. These wharves are served by spur tracks. There are also a number of minor wharves. These facilities are ample for the needs of existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Preliminary work in connection with maintenance dredging was done at a cost of $1,464.87. The total expenditures during the year were $2,631.56. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project as a whole is 76 per- cent completed. The protective jetty was completed in 1910 and reconstructed as a rubble mound in 1929. It is in good condition. The turning basin at the Warroad wharves was completed in 1911, and a channel 200 feet wide and 8 feet deep was completed in 1915. The controlling depth in the channel in May 1937 was 8 feet below low-water datum, which is 1,056 feet above mean tide level at New York, for a least width of 100 feet. Annual maintenance is neces- sary. The shore revetment is in need of minor repairs. The work to be done to complete that part of the existing project ,outside of the present used dredging lines consists of widening the lake channel from 200 to 300 feet for a distance of 7,460 feet. This has not been done, as the additional width is not necessary to meet present requirements. The total costs of the existing project at the end of the fiscal year ivere $83,805.36 for new work and $236,749.79 for maintenance, a total of $320,555.15. The total expenditures were $370,962.67. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1938, $4,138.44, will be applied to maintenance, as follows: Accounts payable---- ----------------------------------- $233. 43 Dredging with U.

Location.-This harbor is on the north shore of Lake Michigan, about 135 miles northeasterly from Green Bay Harbor and 220 miles northerly from Milwaukee. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 71.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of June 14, 1880. The cost and expenditures prior to commencement of work under the existing project in 1905 were $3,955.05 for new work. For further details see page 1933 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for two breakwaters extending from the shore on either side of the mouth of the Manistique River, 1,744 and 1,480 feet in length for the east and west breakwaters, respectively, and for a channel 18 feet deep except where rock is encountered at less depth. This channel extends from that depth in the lake up the river a distance of 1,650 feet from its mouth, having a total length of 3,200 feet from the outer end in the lake and varies in width from 180 to 475 feet, the west side at the river mouth being protected by a revetment 375 feet long. The breakwaters are formed RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1423 of stone-filled piling and timber cribs, capped with concrete super- structure; the revetment is formed of stone-filled plank cribs. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage and extreme fluctuations of a tem- porary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1908, was $338,462, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1917) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $5,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Act Work authorized Documents and reports Mar. 3. 1905 Breakwaters and outer harbor__ ____ H. Doc.

Secretary of War Apr. 3, 1908. The latest published map is in Annual Report, 1908, p. 1942. Location cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-Besides a car-ferry slip there are two coal and building material wharves, two fishing wharves, and numerous lumberyard slips. While these facilities are considered fairly ade- quate for existing commerce, it is believed that a wharf, with rail connection and under public control, should be provided. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of taking soundings by hired labor and use of Government plant, and care and supervision, at a total deferred cost of $1,082.54 for mainte- nance. The total net expenditures were $1,117.32. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1917 at a saving of $31,210 under the estimated cost. The breakwaters enclosing the basin and the dredging of the channel to 18 feet depth below low water datum over practically all the area below the car-ferry slip were completed in 1915. The chanael above the slip was dredged to ledge rock in 1917, thereby completing the project. The plank crib revetment was completed in 1909. The piers and breakwater are in generally good condition. The superstructure of the plank crib revetment is in a very dilapidated condition, but immediate repairs thereto are not considered necessary, as it is not essential to the preservation of the harbor. The controlling depths at low water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 17.2 feet at the entrance, 18 feet over the full width of channel through the outer basin to the river mouth, thence 17.6 feet in river to about 350 feet above the car-ferry slip, decreasing to about 16.0 feet over a width of about 50 feet along the west revetment to the lumberyard slips. The costs under the existing project are $307,252.18 for new work and $94,126.05 for maintenance, a total of $401,378.23. The total expendi- tures are $402,460.77. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended, $10,417.46, will be applied to maintenance operation of U. S. hopper dredge Meade during August 1938 and June 1939. 1424 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 Dredging is required annually for maintenance of project dimen- sions of channel. The additional sum of $10,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1940, as follows: Maintenance : Operation of U.

MENOMINEE HARBOR AND RIVER, MICH. AND WIS. Location.-On the west shore of Green Bay, distant about 49 miles northeasterly from Green Bay Harbor, and about 155 miles from Milwaukee via Sturgeon Bay Canal. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 723.) Previous projects.-Priorto 1902 the harbor and river constituted two works. Harbor: River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1871, September 19, 1890, and March 3, 1899; the amount expended was $200,471.67 for new work, $33,811.10 for maintenance, a total of $234,282.77. RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1425 River: River and Harbor Acts of September 19, 1890, July 13, 1892, and June 3, 1896; the amount expended was $111,951.63 for new work, $2,382.49 for maintenance, a total of $114,334.12. The cost and expenditures on harbor and river prior to commence- ment of work under existing project in 1902 were $312,423.30 for new work, $36,193.59 for maintenance, a total of $348,616.89. (For further details see p. 1933 of Annual Report for 1915.) Existing project.-This provides for protecting the mouth of the river by parallel piers 400 feet apart and about 1,870 feet and 2,681 feet in length for the north and south piers, respectively, and for a channel 21 feet deep from that depth in the bay to the upper end of the Marinette municipal wharf, about 4,700 feet above the Ogden Street Bridge, and 10,700 feet from the outer end in the bay where the width is 600 feet, reducing to 300 feet between the piers and up to Ogden Street Bridge, thence 200 feet in the river to the upper end of the channel, with an enlarged turning basin 21 feet deep on south side of the channel just below the municipal wharf. Except for 168 feet of concrete caissons at outer end of south pier, the piers are formed of stone-filled piling and timber cribs, the entire north pier and 1,276 feet of the south pier having been repaired with concrete superstructure and 801 feet of the south pier repaired with rubble superstructure. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressures, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, is $163,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $10,000.

Terminal facilities.-Besides a car-ferry slip, there are numerous wharves for handling coal, building materials, and miscellaneous commodities. The city of Marinette has provided a public wharf. The facilities are considered fairly adequate for existing commerce, except that there is need for a public wharf owned by the city of Menominee with warehouse and railway connection. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 59,183 cubic yards, by hired labor and use of Govern- 1426 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 ment plant, for restoration of 20-foot depth in the channel at a cost of $15,931.53. Dredging by contract, to provide new project depth of 21 feet in the channel and basin and enlarging the turn- ing basin was commenced. A total of 14,760 cubic yards were re- moved at a cost of $13,772.34. The total cost was $29,703.87, of which $13,772.34 was for new work and $15,931.53 was for mainte- nance. The total net expenditures were $19,930.53. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 57 percent completed. The entrance piers were completed in 1884, and the dredging under the old project in 1931. Dredging is in progress for deepening the channel and basin to 21-foot depth, and enlarging the turning basin. The inner 654 feet of the north pier and 604 feet of the south pier are no longer essential for the preser- vation of the channel, and these piers are therefore maintained only for lengths of about 1,216 and 2,077 feet, respectively. The controlling depth at low water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 20 feet in the channel to the Marinette municipal wharf and in the turning basin. The river is available for rafting and logging for about 102 miles above its mouth. The costs under the existing project are $93,244.93 for new work and $306,378.12 for maintenance, a total of $399,623.05. The total expenditures are $392,174. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1938------------------------------ $7, 477. 37 New work: Complete deepening entrance channel and enlarging and deepening turning basin to 21 feet by contract, July to September 1938- --------------------- ------ - ------ - 64, 500. 00 Maintenance: Operation of U.

OCONTO HARBOR, WIS. Location.-On the west shore of Green Bay, distant about 31 miles northeasterly from Green Bay Harbor, Wis., and about 25 miles southwesterly from Menominee Harbor, Mich., and Wis., at the mouth of Oconto River. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 72.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of August 2, 1882. A modification of this project was approved by the Chief of Engineers March 11, 1897. The costs and expenditures prior to commencement of work under the existing project in 1911 were $84,569.47 for new work and $8,161.18 for maintenance, a total of $92,730.65. For further details see page 1934 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for protecting the river mouth by parallel piers 140 feet apart extending from the shore line on either side of the Oconto River, 1,350 and 2,200 feet in length for the north and the south piers, respectively, and for a channel 15 feet deep at low-water datum from that depth in the bay up the river, a distance of 800 feet above its mouth to the upper end of the turning basin, a total length of 3,800 feet, varying in width from 150 feet at the outer end, reducing to 100 feet between the piers and enlarging to 375 feet in the turning basin. The piers are formed of slab- and stone-filled piling, about 70 feet of the outer end of the south pier having been capped with concrete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- 101110-pt. 1--vol. 2-38-27 1428 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Terminal facilities.-These consist of two municipally owned wharves of 400- and 100-foot frontage, respectively, for miscellaneous freight, which are open to general public use. The facilities are con- sidered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1912 at a saving of $28,816 under the estimated cost. The piers were completed in 1885 and the dredging in 1912. The north pier is washed out. The south pier is in fair condition but there is a gap at the root which permits sand to enter the basin. The control- ling depth at low water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 7.4 feet in the entrance channel and 5.1 feet over a width of about 80 feet on the north side of the turning basin along the municipal wharf. The river is available for logging and rafting for a distance of about 50 miles above its mouth. The costs under the existing project are $46,184.25 for new work and $17,815.75 for maintenance, a total of $64,000. The total expenditures are $64,000. Proposed operations.-No funds are available, and no work is con- templated during the fiscal year 1939. Dredging is required for maintenance of project dimensions of channel. The sum of $8,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1940, in maintenance operation of U. S. bucket dredge Tompkins during the fall of 1939.

PENSAUKEE HARBOR, WIS. Location.-On the west shore of Green Bay, distant about 22 miles northeasterly from Green Bay Harbor, and about 33 miles southwest- erly from Menominee Harbor, Mich. and Wis. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 72.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of August 2, 1882. This project was never completed and was abandoned by the River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902. The costs and expenditures prior to commencement of work under the existing project were $9,184.20 for new work and $6,777.03 for maintenance, a total of $15,961.23. For further details, see Annual Report for 1899, page 2734. Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel 100 feet wide and 8 feet deep at low-water datum from that depth in Green Bay to the mouth of Pensaukee River, a distance of about 4,300 feet. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 2 feet above or below .The the mean lake level prevailing at the time. estimate of cost for new work, made in 1937, is $31,500, exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,500. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. No. 478, 74th Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Terminal facilities.-These consist of small private wharves, located along the lower half mile of the river, used by the local fishing inter- ests. Ample space is available for additional fishing wharves when- ever they are required. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done on the existing project. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were about 3 feet in a narrow, winding ditch through the bar at the entrance and about 4 feet in the river. There have been no costs or expenditures on the existing project. Proposed operations.-An allotment of $31,500 will be applied to new work dredging of entrance channel 100 feet wide and 8 feet deep, by contract, about August to November 1938. No additional work is contemplated and no additional funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1940. 1430 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

The mouth of the river is about 8 miles north of Green Bay Harbor, and about 44 miles southwesterly from Menominee Harbor, Mich. and Wis. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 72.) Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel 8 feet deep at low-water datum from that depth in Green Bay to a point 1,800 feet above the river mouth, with widths of 100 feet in the bay and 60 feet in the river, the total length of channel being about 3,700 feet. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Mich- igan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluc- tuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporaty nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 3 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1937, is $20,000. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,500. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. No. 498, 74th Cong., 2 sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Terminal facilities. These consist of small private wharves, lo- cated along the lower 11/2 miles of the river, used by the local fishing interests. Ample space is available for additional fishing wharves whenever they are required. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year. No work has been done on the existing project. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 5 feet in the entrance channel and 41/2 feet in the lower 0.4 mile of the river and 21/2 feet in the next 1.2 miles. There have been no costs or expenditures on the existing project. Proposed operations.-An allotment of $20,000 will be applied to new work dredging of entrance channel 8 feet deep with widths of 100 feet in the bay and 60 feet in the river, by contract, about August to November 1938. No additional work is contemplated and no additional funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1940.

GREEN BAY HARBOR, WIS. Location.-Located at the mouth of the Fox River, at the head of Green Bay, distant about 180 miles from Milwaukee, Wis., via Sturgeon Bay Canal, and about 49 miles southwesterly from Me- nominee Harbor, Mich. and Wis. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 725.) Previous projects.--Adopted by River and Harbor Act of June 23, 1866. This project was modified by the following river and harbor acts: June 23, 1874; July 13, 1892; and June 3, 1896. The cost and expenditures prior to commencement of work under the existing project in 1897 were $396,974.49 for new work, $8,918.19 for mainte- nance, a total of $405,892.68. For further details see page 1934 of Annual Report of 1915. Existing project.-This provides for an outer channel in Green Bay about 10 miles long and 22 feet deep, from that depth in the bay to the mouth of Fox River, varying in width from 500 feet at the outer end to 300 feet at the river mouth, including widening of the bend outside of Tail Point Light; for protecting the portion through Grassy Island, about 700 feet long, on the east side by a timber revetment capped with concrete superstructure; for straightening the channel from the inner end of Grassy Island to the river mouth; for widening the channel in Fox River through the city of Green Bay by the re- moval of shoals at the mouth of East River and between the two upper railroad bridges to a depth of 22 feet; for a turning basin 20 feet deep above the Chicago & North Western Railway bridge near the southern limits of the city of Green Bay; for an inner channel in the river 150 feet wide and 18 feet deep extending upstream about 31/2 miles from the turning basin to De Pere, terminating in another turning basin 18 feet deep and with sufficient area to accommodate 500-foot vessels. The project depths are referred to low-water datum .for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 21/2 feet above or below the mean level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work for the entire project, revised in 1937, is $1,684,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects but including $70,000 contributed by local interests. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance for the entire project is $28,500. 1432 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Terminal facilities.-There are numerous wharves for the handling of coal, petroleum products, grain, pulpwood, wood pulp, sulphur, cement, building materials and miscellaneous commodities located on this waterway. Green Bay has provided a municipal wharf open to the public. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging, by hired labor and use of Government plant, 65,500 cubic yards from the inner channel and turning basin, for restoration of project depth at a total cost of $23,221.71 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $33,729.91. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project in effect prior to the modification of August 26, 1937, was completed in 1936, at a saving of $6,776 under the estimated cost. Deepening and widening the outer channel was completed in 1936. The channel in Fox River through the city of Green Bay was completed in 1935. The inner channel and turning basin was completed in 1926. The east revet- ment at Grassy Island, built in 1869, is in good condition. The west revetment was removed in 1935. No work has been done on the last modification of the project providing for dredging the turning basin above the Chicago & North Western Railway bridge. The control- ling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 22 feet in the outer channel and in the channel through city of Green Bay, and 18 feet in the inner channel, including the turning basin at De Pere. The head of deep-water navigation is at De Pere.

FOX RIVER, WIS. Location.-This river rises in Columbia County, Wis., and flows in a northerly direction into Green Bay. Its length is about 176 miles. The Wolf River, physically the main river but by designation a tribu- tary of the Fox, rises in the central part of Forest County, Wis., and flows in a southerly direction about 220 miles into the Fox River 10 miles above Oshkosh. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 726 for Lake Winnebago and lower Fox River.) Previous projects.-As provided by special act of July 7, 1870, and River and Harbor Act of June 10, 1872, the original project was modified by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1873. The cost and expenditures thereunder prior to commencement of the existing proj- ect in 1886 were $3,239,909.63 for new work, of which $591,161.39 was spent solely on the Wisconsin River. The improvement of the Wis- consin River was abandoned in 1887 (Annual Report for 1887, p. 2096). (For further details see p. 1940 of Annual Report for 1915.) Existing project.-This provides for deepening and widening the channel of Fox River from De Pere, 7 miles above the mouth, to Port- age, Wis., a total length of 156 miles, the depth between De Pere and Montello, 125 miles, to be 6 feet, with 9.6 feet in rock cut below De Pere lock and 7 feet in other rock cuts on the lower river below Menasha lock; and from Montello to Portage, 31 miles, the depth to be 4 feet; the width of channel from Lake Winnebago to Montello to be 100 feet, with necessary widening at bends; for the construction and reconstruction of 27 locks and 16 dams; for a concrete retaining wall at Kaukauna; for construction and maintenance of harbors having depths of 6 feet on Lake Winnebago; for widening Neenah Channel to 100 feet, with a 6-foot depth for a length of about 1 mile; and for dredging, snagging, and otherwise improving Wolf River from its mouth to New London, a distance of 47 miles, the depth to be 4 feet. All depths are referred to standard low water.

Operations and results during fiscal year-Maintenance.-Opera- tions consisted of dredging 19,450 cubic yards for restoration of project depth in channels above and below the new lock at Little Kaukauna, in canal between Kaukauna second and first locks, and in channel above Memorial Drive Highway Bridge at Apple- ton, at a cost of $8,899.58. Removing snags and dredging 6,005 cubic yards for restoration of project depth over shoals from vari- ous places along the Wolf River cost $14,115.28. The construction of a new concrete lock at Little Kaukauna, in progress at the close of the previous fiscal year, was continued at a cost of $169,813.74. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost of maintenance was $192,828.60. Operating and care.-Operations consisted of making necessary repairs to locks, dams, canal banks, and lock houses, including re- building upper 4 feet of Princeton Dam and driving a sheet pile cut- off wall across entire upstream face and well into banks on each side, at a cost of $39,344,76. The locks and dams were operated in accordance with the existing project, and gages were read at a cost of $67,745.01. All work was done by hired labor and use of Gov- ernment plant. The total cost of operating and care was $107,089.77. The total cost of all work was $299,918.37. The total net expendi- tures were $316,094.44. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 44 percent completed (upper river, 25 percent; lower, 83 percent). Twenty-two original locks and nine original dams have been rebuilt; five additional locks and dams have been built by the United States. (See existing project for year of completion of each.) The struc- tures and the dredging in pools have increased the original depths generally about 2 feet. The controlling depths at mean low water at the close of the fiscal year were as follows: Fox River: Feet De Pere to Eureka lock -- --- 6. 0 Eureka lock to 3 miles above Berlin lock------------- ----- 4.5 3 miles above Berlin lock to Montello lock-___ 3. 5 Montello lock to Governor Bend lock- -- -------- 2. 5 Governor Bend lock to Portage lock_- 2.0 Wolf River: Mouth to 1 mile below Partridge Crop Lake-------------------------- 4.

The head of navigation for boat traffic is New London on the Wolf River and Portage on the upper Fox, except that during high water on the Wisconsin River boats can proceed from Portage to the Missis- sippi River. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is dredging in the upper Fox River and the upper portion of the RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1439 Wolf River; also rock removal and deepening Neenah Channel on lower Fox River. Deepening Neenah Channel is no longer desired by navigation interests. The remaining rock removal is not needed unless there is a material increase in commerce. Additional dredg- ing on the upper river is no longer considered necessary and is not justifiable from an economic standpoint. The costs under the exist- ing project are $871,724.01 for new work and $2,375,316.81 for main- tenance including $283,436.04 for operating and care, a total of $3,247,040.82. The total expenditures are $3,253,614.66. In addition, the sum of $3,795,495.53 was expended between July 5, 1884, and June 30, 1935, on the operating and care of the works of improvement under the provision of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

HARBORS AT WASHINGTON ISLAND, WIS. Location.-In the entrance to Green Bay, a westerly arm of Lake Michigan, distant about 4 miles northeasterly from the north end of the peninsula which separates Green Bay from Lake Michigan and about 30 miles southeasterly from Escanaba, Mich. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 715.) Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel at Detroit Harbor, located on the south side of Washington Island, 150 feet RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1441 wide and 14 feet deep at low-water datum from that depth in Green Bay to a turning basin of the same depth, 400 feet long and 150 to 300 feet wide, near the inner end of Detroit Island, a distance of about 3,700 feet; and for an entrance channel at Jackson Harbor, located on the north side of Washington Island, 150 feet wide and 12 feet deep at low-water datum through the entrance bar, a distance of about 500 feet. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Mich- igan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluc- tuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/ feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1937, is $67,500 ($60,000 for Detroit Harbor and $7,500 for Jackson Harbor). The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,300 ($1,500 for Detroit Harbor and $800 for Jackson Harbor). The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. No. 90, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Terminal facilities.-At Detroit Harbor there is a ferry dock, sev- eral fishing wharves, and a marine railway. At Jackson Harbor there are several fishing wharves and a landing for small craft. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done on the existing project. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 9 feet in a narrow entrance channel and 4.4 feet in the proposed turning basin at Detroit Harbor and about 9 feet in a narrow channel at the entrance to Jackson Harbor. There have been no costs or expenditures on the existing project. Proposed operations.-An allotment of $67,500 will be applied to new work dredging of entrance channel and turning basin 14 feet deep at Detroit Harbor and an entrance channel 12 feet deep at Jackson Harbor, by contract, during fall of 1938 and spring and summer of 1939. No additional work is contemplated and no additional funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1940.

STURGEON BAY AND LAKE MICHIGAN SHIP CANAL, WIS. Location.-This improvement is on the west shore of Lake Michi- gan, distant about 52 miles northeasterly from Green Bay and about 128 miles northerly from Milwaukee. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 728.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1873, and June 14, 1880. The United States assumed possession 1442 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 of the canal April 25, 1893, as provided by the River and Harbor Act of July 13, 1892. The original project for the canal was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 18, 1894, modified by River and Harbor Act of June 3, 1896. The cost and expenditures prior to commencement of the existing project in 1903 are as follows: New work, including purchase price of canal, $323,419.40; maintenance, $30,410.21; a total of $353,829.61. For further details see page 1935 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for an outer harbor or stilling basin protected by two converging breakwaters, each 1,344 feet in length, extending from the shore on either side of the easterly or Lake Michigan end of the canal; for a revetted canal 7,200 feet in length, varying in width from 160 to 250 feet; for a channel 23 feet deep in rock cut, extending from that depth in Lake Michigan to about 800 feet west of the east entrance of the revetted canal, a length of about 0.6 mile; thence a channel 22 feet deep through an additional 6,400 feet of revetted canal and through Sturgeon Bay to the vicinity of Sherwood Point, a length of about 8 miles, the total length of channel being about 8.6 miles; the width of channel being 600 feet in Lake Michigan, reducing to 200 feet through the harbor and 130 to 220 feet through the revetted canal, thence 250 feet through Stur- geon Bay to a point 5,400 feet northwest of the railroad bridge in the city of Sturgeon Bay and thence 500 feet to the vicinity of Sherwood Point, and that the turning basin immediately west of the revetted canal be eliminated from the project. The breakwaters are formed of stone-filled piling and timber cribs and have been provided with concrete superstructure; the revetments are formed of piling and timber, 914 feet having been repaired with concrete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctu- ations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, is $1,620,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $25,000.

(Con- of the revetted canal. tains latest published map.) Terminal facilities.-As the canal and connecting channel is a through waterway, the only terminal facilities are in the city of Sturgeon Bay, 4 miles from the west end of the revetted portion of RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1443 the canal. These facilities consist of four coal wharves, two ship- building yards, and one package-freight wharf. The city of Stur- geon Bay has provided a public wharf. There is also a large stone wharf located about 5 miles northwesterly from the city of Sturgeon Bay. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 69,875 cubic yards for restoration of 19-foot depth at a cost of $24,424.20. Repairs to revetments, including the reinforcing and rebuilding of substructure where necessary, cost $24,928.69. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $49,352.89 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $58,580.79. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The entire existing project is 15 percent completed. The project in effect prior to the modification of August 30, 1935, was completed in 1919 at a saving of $7,777 under the estimated cost. The harbor entrance piers were completed in 1880, the canal revetments in 1903, and the dredging under the old project in 1919. No work has been done on the last modification of the project providing for deepening and widening the channel to 23- and 22-foot depths. Pile revetments require repairs and backfilling. The super- structure on about 260 feet of south plank crib revetment is in poor condition. The entrance piers are in good condition. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 18.5 feet over a width of 100 feet in the south side of channel through the outer harbor and 18.4 feet throughout the revetted canal. The entire channel through the outer harbor and revetted canal has been swept and all loose stone removed to old project depth and more where there is greater depth to ledge rock. There is a con- trolling depth of 19.3 feet over a middle width of 60 feet in the channel west of the revetted canal. The costs under the existing project are $243,223.05 for new work and $650,437.20 for maintenance, a total of $893,660.25. The total expenditures are $906,772.94. In addition the sum of $425,259.17 was expended between April 25, 1893, and June 30, 1917, on the operating and care of the works of improvement under the provision of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1445 10. ALGOMA HARBOR, WIS. Location.-Algoma Harbor is on the west shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 68 miles from Green Bay via Sturgeon Bay Canal and about 115 miles northerly from Milwaukee. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 72.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871, and modified by river and harbor acts of March 3, 1873; March 3, 1875; July 5, 1884; and March 3, 1899. The cost and expenditures prior to the commencement of the existing project in 1907 were $192,773.50 for new work, $8,687.96 for maintenance, a total of $201,461.46. (For further details see p. 1935 of Annual Re- port of 1915.) Existing project.-This provides for an outer harbor 14 feet deep enclosed by two piers or breakwaters, one on the north side of the river, 1,102 feet long, extending approximately normal to the shore into the lake, and the other, 1,530 feet long, extending from the shore at a point about 1,000 feet south of the original river mouth, and for a channel of same depth as outer harbor, except where rock is encountered at less depth, extending from that depth in the lake up the river a distance of 1,000 feet from its mouth, a total length of about 2,100 feet; this channel varies in width from 175 to 80 feet at Second Street Bridge. The breakwaters are formed of stone-filled timber cribs, concrete caissons, and piling, all of which are capped with concrete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage and extreme fluctuations of a tem- porary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1907, was $140,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1917) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $3,500.

The latest published map is in Annual Report, 1908, page 1954. Terminal facilities.-These consist of a coal wharf and several fish- ing wharves. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 18,550 cubic yards, by hired labor and use of Government plant, for restoration of project depth at a total cost of $4,584.35 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $4,560.50. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1909 at a saving of $40,764 under the estimated cost. The north pier was completed in 1890, the south pier and breakwater and 1446 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 dredging in 1909. The piers and breakwater are in good condition. The controlling depths at low water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 15.5 feet in the entrance channel to outer end of south stub pier, decreasing to 11.4 feet to the coal wharf at the inner end of the north pier, thence 8.5 feet in a narrow channel to Second Street Bridge. The Ahnapee River is navigable for a distance of about 2 miles from its mouth for vessels drawing not more than 4 feet. The costs under the existing project are $99,236.15 for new work and $230,138.06 for maintenance, a total of $329,374.21. The total expen- ditures are $329,467.34. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended, $8,998.41, will be applied to maintenance operation of U. S. bucket dredge Tompkins during August 1938, and May 1939.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1447 11. KEWAUNEE HARBOR, WIS. Location.-On the west shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 105 miles northerly from Milwaukee and about 78 miles from Green Bay, via Sturgeon Bay Canal. The harbor is at the mouth of the Kewau- nee River. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 73.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1881. The cost and expenditures prior to the commencement of the existing project in 1916 were $149,312.44 for new work, $88,363.97 for maintenance, a total of $237,676.41. For further details see page 1936 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for a converging north break- water and shore connection about 3,130 feet long, removal of about 1,400 feet of the total length of about 1,850 feet of the north pier, a south pier about 1,850 feet long, an entrance channel of a general width of 525 feet, about 2,800 feet long and 20 feet deep, leading to an interior turning basin of the same depth; also for removal of the outer south shoal to a depth of 22 feet. The parallel piers are formed of stone-filled piling and are capped with concrete superstruc- ture. The north breakwater is formed of concrete caissons and the north shore connection is a rubble mound. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctu- ations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, is $690,000, ex- clusive of amount expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $10,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Act Work authorized Documents and reports Mar. 3, 1881 Entrance piers___________________________________ Annual Report, 1881, p. 2082.

Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-Besides two car-ferry slips, there is a coal, wood, and grain wharf. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year-Regular funds.-Opera- tions consisted of commencing, by hired labor and use of Govern- ment plant, the dredging of the entrance channel and interior basin to provide new project depth. A total of 73,500 cubic yards were removed at a cost of $14,665.96. The construction of the north 1448 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 breakwater and shore connection and removal of the outer end of the north pier, completed, by contract, during the previous fiscal year involved a cost of $1,237.96. The total cost was $15,903.92 for new work. The total net expenditures were $14,263.62. Emergency Relief funds.-The construction of the north break- water and shore connection and removal of the outer end of the north pier, completed, by contract, during the previous fiscal year involved a total cost of $1,462.78 for new work. The total net expenditures were $36,765.55. The total costs, all funds, were $17,366.70 for new work. The total net expenditures were $51,029.17. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 68 percent completed. The piers were completed in 1897 and are in generally good condition. The north breakwater and shore con- nection, except for a gap of 150 feet about 830 feet from the shore- ward end, and the removal of the outer 706.5 linear feet of the north pier were completed in 1937. Dredging the entrance channel and interior basin to a depth of 20 feet, as authorized by the last modifi- cation of the project, is in progress. Removal of the outer shoal and the additional 700 linear feet of the north pier, and closing the gap in the north-shore connection are not considered necessary under present conditions. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 20.1 feet in the entrance channel between the piers, and over an area 300 by 500 feet in the inner basin. The Kewaunee River is navigable for a distance of about 61/2 miles above the mouth for craft drawing not more than 4 feet. The costs under the existing project are as follows: New work Maintenance Total Regular funds_--_ -- _----------------------------. $40, 801.95 $174, 667. 02 $215, 468. 97 Emergency Relief funds --------------------------- 420, 000.00 ----..-- - 420, 000. 00 Total-------------.-... . ---------------------------- 460, 801.95 174,667,02 635,468. 97 The expenditures are $215,468.97 regular funds and $420,000 Emergency Relief funds, a total of $635,468.97.

TWO RIVERS HARBOR, WIS. Location.-This harbor is on the west shore of Lake Michigan, dis- tant about 82 miles northerly from Milwaukee and about 101 miles from Green Bay via Sturgeon Bay Canal. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 73.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871. The cost and expenditures prior to the commence- ment of work under the existing project in 1907 were $212,857.20 for RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1451 new work, $33,113.35 for maintenance, a total of $245,970.55. For further details see page 1936 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for two entrance piers at the mouth of Twin Rivers, 245 feet apart at the outer ends and 750 feet apart at the shore line, having lengths of about 1,642 feet and 1,720 feet for the north and south piers, respectively; for a channel 2,600 feet long and 18 feet deep extending from that depth in the lake to an inner basin of the same depth at the confluence of the East and West Twin Rivers, the channel varying in width from 500 feet at the outer end to 200 feet between the piers; for a revetment about 450 feet long on the north side at the inner end of the channel and for a small stilling basin beyond the shore line on the north side of the channel. The piers are formed of stone-filled timber cribs and piling; 1,241 feet of the north pier and 894 feet of the south pier has been provided with concrete superstructure; about 274 feet of the south pier has been provided with rubble superstructure; 904 feet of the crib piers has been paved with concrete; the revetment on north side of channel is provided with concrete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage and extreme fluctuations of a tem- porary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, is $85,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $7,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Act Work authorized Documents and reports Mar. 3, 1871 South pier, 750 feet of north pier, and about 44 Annual Report, 1871, p. 123 (as modif'ecl feet of north revetment. by the Chief of Engineers Feb. 27, 1897).

Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-These consist of a coal wharf and several fishing wharves. The city has provided a wharf for public use. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 25,538 cubic yards for restoration of project depth at a cost of $9,169.68. Repairing substructure and constructing concrete superstructure on 720 linear feet of the south revetment, in progress at the close of the previous fiscal year, was completed at a cost of $34,122.85. All work was done by hired labor and use of Govern- ment plant. The total cost was $43,292.53 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $45,653.42. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project is about 88 percent completed. The south pier, completed in 1883 and the north pier in 1908, are in fair condition. The dredging was substantially 1452 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 completed in 1937. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is dredging a 10-foot width along each side of the lakeward portion of the entrance channel between the piers. This dredging was necessarily omitted to avoid removal of riprap along the en- trance piers and thereby endangering them. The present width of channel is considered adequate for present and reasonably prospec- tive commerce. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 18 feet on the entrance bar, 17.1 feet in the entrance channel between the piers and 16.9 feet in the inner basin. East and West Twin Rivers are navigable for about 3 and 7 miles, respectively, from the harbor piers for craft drawing not more than 4 feet. The costs under the existing project are $74,721.66 for new work and $337,897.74 for maintenance, a total of $412,619.40. The total expenditures are $412,809.34.

MANITOWOC HARBOR, WIS. Location.-This harbor is on the west shore of Lake Michigan, dis- tant about 79 miles northerly from Milwaukee and about 106 miles from Green Bay via Sturgeon Bay Canal. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 734.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted in 1854, the first appropriation for the improvement having been made by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1852. The project was modi- fied by subsequent River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1881, Septem- ber 19, 1890, June 3, 1896, and June 13, 1902. The cost and expendi- tures prior to the commencement of work under the existing project in 1907 were $400,126.14 for new work and $54,287.93 for maintenance, a total of $454,414.07. For further details see page 1937 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for an outer harbor or stilling basin formed by two breakwaters extending from the shore on either side of the mouth of the Manitowoc River 425 feet apart at their outer ends and diverging to a distance of about 2,325 feet apart at their inner ends, having lengths of 2,540 feet and 2,290 feet for the north and south breakwaters, respectively; for a channel 21 feet deep, extending from that depth in the lake through the outer harbor to the mouth of the river, a totallength of about 2,500 feet, with a width of about 650 feet; for a channel 21 feet deep in Manitowoc River from the river mouth to the second railway bridge, a distance of approxi- mately 1.7 miles, with widths of 180 feet at the mouth, reducing to 150 feet at the upper end, with intermediate reductions and enlargements; for removal of old north stub pier at the river entrance; and for dredging in the outer harbor an approach channel 21 feet deep to a proposed city terminal on the lake front south of the shore end of the south breakwater. The breakwaters are formed of stone-filled timber cribs, concrete caissons, and piling, all of which are capped with con- crete superstructures. 1454 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The, fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a tem- porary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 1/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, is $501,000, ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $19,500.

Local cooperation.-The act of August 30, 1935, provided that the work of dredging an approach channel to the proposed city terminal in the outer harbor "shall not be undertaken until local interests shall have submitted assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that such terminal will be constructed." Latest information indicates that the plan for the municipal terminal has been abandoned at least temporarily. The act of August 26, 1937, provided "that no dredging shall be done (in the river channel) until local interests have released the Government, in a manner satisfactory to the Secretary of War, from all liability for damages to lands, revetments, structures, and sub- aqueous installations attributable to the dredging operations." Nego- tiations for compliance are in progress. Terminal facilities.-Besides three car-ferry slips there are several wharves used for handling coal, building materials, cement, and mis- cellaneous commodities. While these facilities are considered fairly adequate for existing commerce, it is believed the city should provide a suitable wharf with warehouse and railway connection, which should be open to the general public. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of completing, by contract, the widening and deepening of the entrance channel to a new project depth of 21 feet and removal of the old north stub pier. A total of 202,136 cubic yards was removed at a cost of $68,928.69. Repairs to pile clump in outer harbor cost $1,569.26, and soundings were taken at a cost of $157.89. All work, except dredging of entrance channel and removal of old north stub pier, was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total costs were $70,665.84, of which $68,928.69 was for new work and $1,727.15 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $76,129.56. RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1455 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The entire existing project is 63 percent completed. The project in effect prior to the modification of August 26, 1937, is about 84 percent completed. The breakwaters completed in 1910 are in good condition. Dredging to provide the project dimensions of the channel through the outer basin was com- pleted in 1937. No work has been done on the last modification of the project providing for dredging the channel in the river, or on dredging the approach channel in the outer harbor. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 21 feet over practically the full width of channel through the outer basin and 16 feet in the river to the second railway bridge. The costs under the existing project are $317,922.17 for new work and $449,952.65 for maintenance, a total of $767,874.82. The total expenditures are $767,070.76.

SHEBOYGAN HARBOR, WIS. Location.-This is on the west shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 26 miles south from Manitowoc and about 55 miles north of Milwaukee. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 737.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 23, 1866, and modified by River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1873, March 3, 1881, August 18, 1894, March 3, 1899, and June 13, 1902. The total cost and expenditures prior to commencement of the existing project in 1907 were $487,- 816.64 for new work and $87,131.46 for maintenance, a total of $574,948.10. For further details see page 1937 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for an outer harbor or stilling basin formed by a breakwater extending from the shore about 2,100 feet north of the remaining 473 feet of the pier and revetment on the north side of the channel at the mouth of the Sheboygan River for a total length of 3,829 feet, and a south pier 2,750 feet long ex- tending into the lake about normal to the shore on the south side of the mouth of the river, and for a turning basin 900 feet wide and 20 feet deep in the outer harbor with an entrance channel about 3,500 feet long through the south side of the basin, the depth being 25 feet from the lakeward end to a point 500 feet shoreward of the end of the north breakwater, decreasing to 21 feet in the next 300 feet and RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1457 continuing at the latter depth to the inner end of the improved chan- nel, the widths to be 400 feet at the lakeward end and 500 feet through the turning basin, decreasing to 200 feet at the river mouth. The north breakwater is formed of stone-filled timber cribs, concrete cais- sons, and piling, all of which is capped with concrete superstructure. The south pier consists of timber cribs and piling, all of which has also been provided with concrete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage and extreme fluctuations of a tem- porary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1935, is $470,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $15,000.

Terminal facilities.-These consist of several wharves used for handling coal, building material, fish, and miscellaneous commodi- ties. The city has provided a public wharf with warehouse. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of placing 2,525 tons of stone as riprap along the south breakwater at a cost of $8,667.12. Dredging was commenced to provide new project width and depths of 25 feet and 21 feet in the entrance chan- nel through the south side of the turning basin. A total of 58,500 cubic yards were removed at a cost of $13,130.26. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total costs were $21,797.38, of which $13,130.26 was for new work and $8,667.12 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $18,044.85. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 93 percent completed. The north breakwater was completed in 1915, the south pier in 1904, and the dredging of turning basin and entrance channel under the old project in 1931. Dredging is in progress for widening and deepening the entrance channel to 25- and 21-foot depths. The pier and breakwater are in good condition. The inner 260 feet of the south pier has been entirely removed and replaced with a revetment by private interests under permit granted July 16? 1931, by the Secretary of War. The pier is therefore maintained only for a length of about 2,490 feet. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 19 feet in the entrance channel and turning basin. Sheboygan River is navigable for a dis- tance of about 2.4 miles above its mouth for craft drawing not more 1458 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 than 2 feet. The costs under the existing project are $437,407.65 for new work and $484,485.71 for maintenance, a total of $921,893.36, The total expenditures are $908,640.37.

PORT WASHINGTON HARBOR, WIS. Location.-On the west shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 53 miles south from Manitowoc and about 29 miles north from Milwau- kee. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 74.) Previous projects. The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 11, 1870, and was modified by the River and Harbor Act of August 14, 1876. The cost and expenditures prior to the commencement of the existing project in 1910 were $188,495.08 for new work, $15,123.46 for maintenance, a total of $203,618.54. (For further details see p. 1938 of Annual Report for 1915.) Existing project.-This provides for a north breakwater and shore connection approximately 2,537 feet long, extending from the shore about 1,350 feet north of the remaining portion of the old north pier; removal of 650 feet of the north pier; for extending a privately owned south breakwater about 456 feet into the lake to form an entrance about 350 feet in width, and for an outer turning basin 750 feet wide and 21 feet deep with an entrance channel about 2,400 feet long and 21 feet deep through the south side of the basin, the width being 110 feet at the inner end of the north pier and about 275 feet at the harbor entrance, leading to two interior basins 18 feet deep, the west basin being 140 feet wide and 490 feet long and the north basin 190 feet wide and 750 feet long. The north breakwater is formed of concrete caissons and the shore connection of interlocking steel sheet piling of the cellular and single wall types. The south breakwater is formed of concrete caissons and rubble mound. The north stub pier is formed of stone-filled cribs about 93 feet of which at the inner end is capped with rubble superstructure. The project depth referred to is low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a tem- porary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11,~feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $875,000, exclusive of the amounts expended on previous projects.

Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 32,701 cubic yards for restoration of project depth at a cost of $6,666.54. Placing 643 tons of stone as riprap along the north breakwater cost $2,153.65. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $8,820.19 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $10,423.35. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1936 at a saving of $64,291 under the estimated cost. The north breakwater, north pier removal, and dredging was completed in 1934, and the south breakwater in 1936. The breakwaters are in good condition. The original south pier, completed in 1893, was entirely removed in 1932 by private interests under permit granted October 25, 1930, by the Secretary of War and replaced with a coal wharf. A south rubble mound breakwater about 550 feet long was constructed in 1934 by private interests as an extension of their coal wharf in accordance with local cooperation requirements of House Document No. 168, Seventy-second Congress, first session. The con- trolling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 21 feet in the Government entrance channel and turning basin. The west interior basin had a controlling depth of 18.5 feet and the north basin 17 feet.

Existing project.-This provides for a north breakwater 9,954 feet long and a south breakwater 9,671 feet, more or less, in length, ex- tending to the shore, thereby forming a protected basin in which is being developed a commercial harbor by the city of Milwaukee, the width of entrance between the two breakwaters being about 500 feet. It further provides for the protection of the river mouth by two piers, 360 feet apart at the outer ends and 550 feet apart at the shore line, 1,656 and 1,608 feet in length for the north and south piers, respectively; for a channel 21 feet deep, extending from that depth in the lake to the mouth of the river, a total length of about 2,850 feet, the width of channel outside the piers to be 600 feet; dredging to 21 feet, a portion of the outer harbor between East Wisconsin Avenue extended and East Bay Street extended, and easterly of a line 50 feet lakeward of the pierhead line; and the abandonment of so much of the previous project as related to dredging inside the shore line for the formation of turning basins and widening channels. The breakwaters are formed of stone-filled timber cribs and concrete caissons, all of which are capped with concrete superstructure. The inner entrance piers are formed of concrete caissons, stone-filled timber cribs, and piling, and are also provided with concrete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The flucta- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage and extreme fluctuations of a tempo- rary nature, due to the wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, is $4,663,000 exclusive of the amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $63,000.

No. 289, 72d Cong., 1st sess depth. (Contains latest published map.) Local cooperation.-The dredging in the outer basin is subject to the condition that the original dredging be done by the city of Mil- waukee, and the city of Milwaukee be reimbursed at not to exceed 10 cents per cubic yard place measurement for original dredging done subsequent to the authorization of the work by Congress. Agreement covering the dredging was executed by the Secretary of War Febru- ary 23, 1934, after this work was originally authorized as part of the Public Works program. All prior requirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-Besides four car-ferry slips, there are numer- ous wharves, private and municipal, used for the handling of coal, grain, building materials, cement, and miscellaneous commodities. As these facilities are considered inadequate for existing commerce, the Milwaukee Harbor Commission is engaged in building an outer harbor. Operatio~s and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 34,598 cubic yards for restoration of project depth in the entrance channel at a cost of $11,407.38. Soundings were taken at a cost of $276.56. The placing of 3,466 tons of stone as riprap along the south breakwater cost $13,351.70. Repairs to concrete super- structure on north breakwater cost $12,143.14. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $37,178.78 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $38,568.10. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project in effect prior to the modification of August 30, 1935, was completed in 1934 at a saving of $37,188 under the estimated cost. The north breakwater was completed for a length of 8,210 feet in 1909 and the extension of 1,744 feet in 1925, making the total length 9,954 feet. The north pier was completed in 1905 and the south pier in 1910. The south break- water was completed in 1929 except for placing additional riprap and repairing about 756 feet damaged by a storm of October 22-23, 1929. Rebuilding the damaged section of the breakwater and the placing of additional riprap was completed in 1932. The south shore connection was completed in 1928. Dredging operations for deep- ening and widening entrance channel were completed in 1930. Plac- ing additional small stone around the caisson breakwaters to chink the voids in the large riprap was completed in 1934. No work has been done on deepening the outer harbor frontage to 21 feet north of the inner-entrance piers. Prior to the last modification of the project the city of Milwaukee dredged the area in the outer harbor south of the inner-entrance piers and lakeward of the pierhead line to more than 21 feet below datum without cost to the United States. 1464 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 The concrete superstructures on the timber crib section of the north breakwater and on the harbor piers are showing some disintegration, but not to such extent as to endanger the structures. The south breakwater and shore connection are in good condition. The con- trolling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 22 feet in the entrance channel through the outer basin and between the inner piers. The costs under the existing project are $4,537,812.20 for new work, $699,686.97 for maintenance, a total of $5,237,499.17. The total expenditures are $5,235,168.45.

RACINE HARBOR, WIS. Location.-On the west shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 26 miles southerly from Milwaukee and about 64 miles northerly from Chicago. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 745.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the citi- zens of Racine about 1842 or 1843. The citizens' project was modi- fied by acts of June 23 1866, March 3, 1899, and June 13, 1902. The cost and expenditures by the United States prior to the commence- ment of the existing project in 1907 are $427,239.97 for new work, $79,536.95 for maintenance, a total of $506,776.92. For further de- tails, see page 1939 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for two breakwaters extending from the shore on either side of the mouth of Root River, 2,640 feet and 2,652 feet in length for the north and south breakwaters, respec- tively; for a channel 19 feet deep, with suitably increased depth at the entrance, extending from that depth in the lake through the outer harbor to the mouth of the river, a total length of about 1,900 feet, with a width of about 825 feet; for a channel 19 feet deep in Root River from the river mouth to below the Fourth Street Bridge, a distance of about 3,600feet, with widths of 190 feet at the mouth, reducing to 95 feet at the upper end, with intermediate reductions and enlargements; and removal of shoals, about one-half mile lake- ward of the harbor entrance, to a minimum depth of 25 feet. The breakwaters are formed of stone-filled timber cribs, concrete caissons, and piling, all being capped with concrete supertstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a tem- porary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, is $726,000, exclusive of the amounts expended on previous projects and exclu- 1466 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Local cooperation.-The act of August 26, 1937, provided that the dredging in Root River shall not be undertaken until local interests have released the United States from all claims for damages to land and structures attributable to the work of improvement, and have given assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will dredge vessel berths to a depth sufficient for full utiliza- tion of the proposed Federal improvement and that they will pro- vide and maintain suitable public wharf and terminal facilities on the river, open to the public on equal terms. Negotiations for com- pliance are in progress. Terminal facilities.-These consists of six coal wharves, a cement wharf, and two fishing wharves. These facilities, are considered ade- quate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 14,000 cubic yards, by hired labor and use of Government plant, for restoration of project depth, in channel through outer basin, at a total cost of $2,941.88 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $10,639.26. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project in effect prior to the modification of August 26, 1937, was substantially completed in 1924 at a saving of $50,180 under the estimated cost. The north breakwater and shore connection and north pier removal were completed in 1915. The south breakwater and shore connection, south pier removal, and dredging the entrance channel through outer basin under the old project were completed in 1924. No work has been done on the last modification of the project providing for removal of shoals, widening channel through outer basin, and dredging the river channel. The concrete superstructure on north breakwater and shore connection is showing some disintegration but not to such an extent as to endanger the structures. The south breakwater and shore connection are in good condition. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 20 feet over the existing width of 650 feet through the outer basin and 14.2 feet in river to Fourth Street. The costs under the existing project are $653,020.04 for new work and $274,324.25 for maintenance, a total of $927,344.29. The total ex- penditures are $928,700.64.

KENOSHA HARBOR, WIm. Location.-On the west shore of Lake Michigan distant about 35 miles southerly from Milwaukee and about 54 miles northerly from Chicago. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 747.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1852, and modified by River and Harbor Acts of June 23, 1866, September 19, 1890, March 3, 1899, and June 13, 1902. The cost and expenditures prior to commence- ment of the existing project in 1907 were $453,839.49 for new work, $21,818.17 for maintenance, a total of $475,657.66. For further de- tails see page 1939 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for a detached breakwater 796 feet long, for two parallel piers about 250 feet apart, 1,077 and 1,872 feet in length for the north and south piers, respectively, and for a channel 200 feet wide and 21 feet deep, from that depth in the lake a distance of 2,750 feet to an interior basin 21 feet deep. The breakwater is formed of stone-filled cribs; the piers are formed of stone-filled cribs and piling. The entire north pier, 1,175 feet of the south pier, and the entire breakwater are capped with concrete super- structure. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $71,550, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $9,000.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1469 Terminal facilities.-There are six wharves used for handling coal, building materials, automobiles, and miscellaneous commodities, and also several fishing wharves. While these facilities are considered generally adequate for existing commerce, more efficient use of exist- ing terminals and utilization of available frontage for development of additional terminals should be made. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 18,727 cubic yards, by hired labor and use of Government plant, for restoration of project depth at a total cost of $6,260.35 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $6,273.31. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project was completed in 1936 at a saving of $3,340 under the estimated cost. The north pier was completed in 1895, the south pier in 1900, the breakwater in 1909, and the dredging in 1936. The piers and breakwater are in good condi- tion. The south revetment requires repairs.

ST. JOSEPH HARBOR, MICH. Location.-Located on the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 60 miles easterly from Chicago and about 24 miles southerly from South Haven. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 758.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of July 4, 1836, and modified by the River and Harbor Acts of June 23, 1866, March 3, 1875, June 14, 1880, and July 13, 1892. The cost and expenditures prior to commencement of work under the existing project in 1900 were $503,113.23 for maintenance and new work. (For further details see p. 1945 of Annual Report for 1915.) Existing project.-This provides for protecting the mouth of the St. Joseph River by two piers, 250 to 325 feet apart at their inner and outer ends, respectively, having lengths of 2,854 feet on the north side and 2,603 feet on the south side; for a channel 21 feet deep from Lake Michigan to the mouth of the Benton Harbor Canal, a length of about 6,900 feet, and a turning basin of the same depth at the mouth of the canal, having a width of 190 feet and a length of 325 feet; for 18 feet depth in the Benton Harbor Canal up to the west line of Ninth Street, a length of about 3,600 feet, the width of channel being about 265 feet at the outer end of the piers, 190 feet at the inner end of the piers and revetments, increasing to 250 feet RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1471 below the turning basin; thence decreasing from 110 to 80 feet in the canal. The piers and revetments are formed of timber cribs and piling, the entire south pier and the entire north pier and revetment having been repaired with concrete superstructure, and 500 feet of the south revetment having been repaired with rubble superstructure. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Mich- igan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one- half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctua- tions of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, is $380,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $17,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Act Work authorized Documents and reports Mar. 3,1875 Interior revetment_--- ----------------- _ H. Ex. Doc.

June 2, 19371 Abandonment of the easterly 1,000 feet of canal above the west line of 9th St. 1 Public No. 130, 75th Cong., 1st sess. Local cooperation.-The act of August 30, 1935, provided "that local interests release the United States from liability from any damages to existing docks, bulkheads, revetments, or other struc- tures resulting from the work" of deepening and widening the chan- nels in the river and the canal. All required releases were accepted by the Chief of Engineers on April 12, 1938. Terminal facilities.-There are six wharves used for handling coal, building materials, petroleum products, and miscellaneous com- modities. A package freight terminal is also available for use. While these facilities are generally adequate for existing traffic conditions, a public wharf open for all on equal terms should be provided. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 85,485 cubic yards by hired labor and use of Govern- ment plant, for restoration of 18-foot depth at a total cost of $21,- 145.50 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $21,823.10. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project in effect prior to the modification of August 30, 1935, was completed in 1907 at a saving of $76,906 under the estimated cost. Pier construction was completed in 1904 and dredging under the old project in 1907. The piers and revetments are in good condition. No work has been done on the last modification of the project providing for widening and deepening the channel and turning basin to 21- and 18-foot depths. The controlling depths below low water datum at the close of the 1472 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 fiscal year were 18 feet in the channel to Benton Harbor Canal and 16.7 feet in a narrow channel in Benton Harbor Canal to Ninth Street. The costs under the existing project are $303,093.38 for new work and $636,303.77 for maintenance, a total of $939,397.15. The total expenditures are $940,043.25. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended will be applied as follows : Maintenance : Operation of U.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1473 20. SOUTH HAVEN HARBOR, MICH. Location.-Located on the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 77 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 24 miles north- erly from St. Joseph. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 76.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1867, and modified by the River and Harbor Acts of June 14, 1880, August 2, 1882, and August 11, 1888. The cost and expenditures prior to commencement of work under the existing project in 1911 were $318,472.25, of which $187,232.83 was for new work and $131,239.42 was for maintenance. (For further details see page 1947 of Annual Report for 1915.) Existing project.-This provides for protecting the mouth of Black River by two piers and revetments, 190 to 166 feet apart, with lengths of 2,143 feet and 2,182 feet for the north and south sides, respectively; for an entrance channel 21 feet deep and 130 feet wide to the shore line; thence a channel 19 feet deep and 130 feet wide, extending up the river to a turning basin 375 feet wide and 19 feet deep, located immediately below the Dyckman Avenue Bridge. The length of entrance channel to the inner end of the piers is about 2,700 feet and in the river to the bridge 2,400 feet. The piers and revetments are formed of timber cribs and piling. The piers and revetments are capped with concrete except for the outer 400 feet on both piers and 1,160 feet at inner ends of the revetments. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one- half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctua- tions of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost of new work revised in 1935 is $220,000, exclusive of the amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $17,000.

Local cooperation.--The act of August 30, 1935, provided "that no expense shall be incurred by the United States for the acquiring of any lands required for the purpose of this improvement." Ac- cording to latest information no land will be required as enlarge- ment of the basin is not desired by local interests. All prior require- ments have been complied with. 1474 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 Terminal facilities.-These consist of several wharves used for handling coal, building materials, wood pulp, fish, and miscellaneous commodities. The city has constructed a municipal wharf and ware- house. The municipal wharf is leased to a private corporation which operates it in the interest of general commerce on like terms for like service. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 113,576 cubic yards, by contract, to obtain new project depths in the entrance channel between the piers and in the river channel and existing turning basin at a cost of $42,028.64. Repairs to the outer 200 linear feet of the timber superstructure on the north pier, by hired labor and use of Government plant, cost $2,929.60. Soundings were taken at a cost of $495.62. The total cost was $45,453.86, of which $42,028.64 was for new work and $3,425.22 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $23,463.90. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 93 percent completed. The piers were completed in 1913 and dredging of the channel and existing turning basin in 1938. The work remain- ing to be done to complete the project consists of enlargement of the turning basin, which is not now desired by local interests. The remaining timber superstructures are in poor condition. The con- trolling depths below low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 21 feet in the channel between the piers and 19 feet in the river. The costs under the existing project are $204,047.38 for new work and $416,763.15 for maintenance, a total of $620,810.53. The total expenditures are $597,976.75.

S. ARMY, 1938 22. HOLLAND HARBOR, MICH. Location.-Located on the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 95 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 23 miles south- erly from Grand Haven. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 763.) Previous project.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1852, and modified by the River and Harbor Acts of June 23, 1866; March 3, 1873; March 3, 1879; July 5, 1884; and July 13, 1892. The cost and expenditures prior to the commencement of work under the existing project in 1899 were $304,217.30, $176,619.80 for new work, and $127,597.50 for main- tenance. For further details see page 1948 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for protecting the outlet of the channel from Lake Macatawa (formerly Black Lake) by two con- verging piers having lengths of 753 and 801 feet for the north and south piers, respectively, and with widths between them of 300 feet at the outer end and 740 feet at the inner end; for inner piers and revetments along the channel from Lake Macatawa about 180 feet apart, with lengths of 1,755 and 1,639 feet for the north and south piers, respectively; and for dredging a channel 23 feet deep from that depth in Lake Michigan to a point 400 feet inside the entrance be- tween the outer piers, thence decreasing to 21 feet at the outer end of the inner piers, thence 21 feet between the inner piers and through Lake Macatawa to the turning basin at Holland; and for widening the turning basin to 600 feet, 21 feet deep within the channel limits and 18 feet deep outside the channel limits, the width of channel being 300 feet through the outer harbor, thence reducing from 140 feet to 110 feet between the inner piers and revetments, thence in- creasing to 150 feet in the channel in Lake Macatawa to the turning basin, the length of the dredged channel, including that in the west- erly end of Lake Macatawa, being about 1 mile, and that in the east- erly end of Lake Macatawa, including the turning basin, being about 3 miles, the total distance from the outer end of the channel to the wharves at Holland being 5.5 miles. The piers and revetments are built of timber cribs and piling, all of which are capped with con- crete superstructure. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1935, is $480,000, exclusive of amount expended on previous project. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $16,000.

Terminal faeilities.-The wharves are located at the city of Hol- land, at the inner end of Lake Macatawa, and are used for handling coal, building materials, petroleum products, and miscellaneous com- modities. The city of Holland has provided a public wharf for small craft. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.--perations consisted of dredging 34,375 cubic yards for restoration of 20- and 18-foot depths in the entrance channel and channel in Lake Macatawa at a cost of $7,067.66. Placing 4,779 tons of stone to raise and repair rubble mound connections between the outer and inner piers cost $18,146.83. The above work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. Dredging, by contract, to provide new project depth of 23 feet in the outer channel, 21 feet in the inner channel, and enlarging the turning basin was commenced. A total of 54,136 cubic yards was removed at a cost of $19,109.58. The total cost was $44,324.07, of which $19,109.58 was for new work and $25,214.49 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $28,460.94. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 78 percent completed. The pier construction was completed in 1910, and the dredging under the old project in 1933. Dredging is in progress for deepening the outer and inner channels to 23- and 21-foot depths and enlarging the turning basin. The piers and revetments are in good condition. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 19.2 feet in the basin between the converg- ing piers, 20 feet in the channel between the inner piers to Lake Macatawa, and 17 feet in the inner channel in Lake Macatawa to the wharves at Holland. The costs under the existing project are $372,- 331.78 for new work and $595,633.26 for maintenance, a total of $967,- 965.04. The total expenditures are $950,449.60.

GRAND HAVEN HARBOR AND GRAND RIVER, MICH. Location.-The harbor is located on the east shore of Lake Mich- igan distant about 108 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 23 miles northerly from Holland. The river rises in Jackson County, Mich., and flows in a general westerly direction into Lake Michigan, RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1481 with a total length of about 260 miles. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 765, and U. S. Geological Survey Grand Rapids quad- rangle.) Previous projects.-The original project for the river was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1881. A new project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 3, 1896, and was modified by the River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902. The cost and expenditures prior to the commencement of work under the exist- ing project in 1905 were $324,756.60, of which $311,329.15 was for new work and $13,427.45 for maintenance. For further details see page 1949 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for protecting the mouth of the river by piers and revetments, 415 feet apart at the entrance, dimin- ishing to 390 feet inside, about 3,569 and 5,549 feet in length for the north and south sides, respectively, and for a channel 23 feet deep and generally 300 feet wide and 1,500 feet long from that depth in the lake to a point about 1,000 feet inside the pier ends; thence 21 feet deep and 300 feet wide and 11/4 miles long to the car-ferry slip, with an enlargement at the upper end; thence 21 feet deep and 200 feet wide and 1/ miles long from the car-ferry slip to the Grand Trunk Railway bridge at Ferrysburg; thence a channel 18 feet deep and generally 100 feet wide to deep water in Spring Lake, a distance of about 1,350 feet in the river and about 1,750 feet up the outlet from Spring Lake; and for a channel in Grand River 8 feet deep at low-water datum, 100 feet wide and 141/2 miles long to Bass River, the total length of river channel being about 171/2 miles. The piers and revetments are built of timber cribs and piling, 2,893 feet of the north side and 4,928 feet of the south side having been capped with concrete superstructure. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1937, is $760,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $35,000. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level in the harbor are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and baro- metric pressure, of about 1/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time.

Terminal facilities.-Besides a car-ferry slip, there are several wharves used for handling coal, building materials, fish, and miscel- 1482 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 laneous commodities. The car-ferry slip is not in use at present. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce, except that there should be a public wharf in Grand Haven for transfer be- tween rail and water. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 103,046 cubic yards for restoration of project depth, below the Grand Trunk Railway bridge, at a cost of $26,410.21. Dredging 104,583 cubic yards for restoration of project depth in the river above the Grand Trunk Railway bridge cost $11,165.72. Repairing sub- structure and building concrete superstructure on 564 linear feet of the south revetment cost $13,763.18. Repairing substructure and build- ing concrete superstructure on 652 linear feet of the north revetment was commenced at a cost of $7,391.66. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $58,730.77 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $59,316.31. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project in effect prior to the modification of August 26, 1937, is about 98 percent completed. The work remaining to be done is a small amount of dredging on the northerly side of the inner channel at the point of land 1,350 feet upstream from the inner end of the north revetment. This dredg- ing cannot be done without revetting the bank or endangering private cottages. The present channel past this site, having a least width of 240 feet, is considered adequate for present and reasonably prospective commerce. The piers and revetments were completed in 1893. Dredg- ing of that portion of the channel between the car-ferry slip and the Grand Trunk Railway bridge was completed in 1930 with advanced funds. Dredging of the river above the railway bridge to Bass River was completed in 1931. No work has been done on the last modification of the project providing for dredging the channel into Spring Lake. Portions of the revetments still require repairs and stone filling. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 21 feet between the piers and in the river to the Grand Trunk car-ferry slip, thence 19 feet to the Grand Trunk Railway bridge, and thence 8 feet to Bass River and 11.7 feet in the outlet from Spring Lake. The costs under the existing project are $728,704.78 for new work and $1,527,146.97 for maintenance, a total of $2,255,851.75. The total expenditures are $2,247,430.37.

(See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 767.) Previous projects.--Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1867, and modified by the River and Harbor Acts of June 10, 1872, June 23, 1874, August 2, 1882, September 19, 1890, August 18, 1894, March 3, 1899, and June 13, 1902. The cost and expenditures prior to the commencement of work under the existing project in 1925 were $1,059,590.91, of which $613,407.96 was for new work and $446,- 182.95 for maintenance. For further details see page 1950 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1399, Annual Report for 1924. Existing project.-This provides for an exterior basin in Lake Michigan, formed by two arrowhead breakwaters, the south 1,514 feet and the north 1,404 feet long, 500 feet apart at the outer ends, diverg- ing at an angle of about 90 ° , the inner ends connected with the shore by suitable structures 1,660 feet and 1,561 feet long on the north and south sides, respectively; for the removal of 1,003 feet of the existing north pier and 1,106 feet of the existing south pier; for repairing and maintaining the revetment around the old car-ferry slip on the south side of the entrance channel; for dredging a channel 600 feet wide at the entrance, decreasing toward the new pierheads to 500 feet wide aid 240 feet wide between the piers with depths varying from 24 feet at the harbor entrance to 21 feet at the shore line and in the inner channel to Muskegon Lake, about 6,050 feet from the harbor entrance. The south breakwater and shore connection are built of concrete caissons and piling capped with concrete; the north breakwater is a rubble mound; the inner piers and revetments are built of timber cribs and piling, all having been capped with concrete, except 268 feet of the south revetment which has been repaired with rubble superstructure and 700 feet around the old car-ferry slip. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide in New York. The fluctu- ations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, is $1,885,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $26,000.

WHITE LAKE HARBOR, MICH. Location.-On the east shore of Lake Michigan, about 120 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 45 miles southerly from Ludington. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 768.) Eaisting project.-This provides for the abandonment of the old outlet and the creation of a new channel 16 feet deep, 200 feet wide, and about 1,950 feet long from Lake Michigan to White Lake be- tween parallel piers and revetments having lengths of 1,717 feet and 1,953 feet on north and south sides, respectively. The piers and revetments are built of timber cribs and piling, all of which are capped with concrete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1487 mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 1/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1907, was $353,550. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $5,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Act Work authorized Documents and reports Mar. 2,1867 Mar. 3, 1873New channel, with piers and revetments- Unpublished survey report of 1866.

Terminal facilities.-There is a coal wharf located about three- fourths of a mile south of the village of Montague, at the inner end of White Lake; across the lake, at the village of Whitehall, there are several wharves available for boats of shallow draft. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of completing the repairs of substructure and rebuilding superstructure, in concrete, on 1,963 linear feet of the south pier and revetment, which was in progress at the close of the previous fiscal year, at a cost of $64,850.22. Backfilling the north pier and revetment, repairs of which were completed during the previous fiscal year, cost $136. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $64,986.22 for maintenance. The total net ex- penditures were $73,501.92. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1908, at a saving of $145,688 under the estimated cost. The piers and revetments were completed in 1900, and the dredging in 1908. The piers and revetments are in good condition. The con- trolling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 14.5 feet in the entrance channel between the piers to White Lake. The costs under the existing project are $207,862.44 for new work and $487,894.19 for maintenance, a total of $695,756.63. The total expenditures are $695,959.32. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended, $18,744.13, will be applied to maintenance operation of U. S. hopper dredge Meade, during July 1938, and June 1939. Dredging is required annually for maintenance of project dimen- sions of channel. The additional sum of $7,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1940, for mainte- nance operation of U.

LUDINGTON HARBOR, MICH. Location.-This harbor is located on the east shore of Lake Michi- gan, distant about 156 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 67 miles northerly from Grand Haven. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 774.) RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1491 Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1867, and modified by the River and Harbor Acts of August 5, 1886, August 11, 1888, and March 3, 1899. The cost and expenditures prior to commencement of work under the existing project in 1908 were $617,867.30, of which $491,416.22 was for new work and $126,451.08 for maintenance. For further details see page 1951 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for an exterior basin in Lake Michigan, formed by two breakwaters, each with main arm 1,800 feet long, 400 feet apart at the outer ends, diverging at an angle of 90 ° , and with shore connections, 1,103 feet and 2,004 feet in length for north and south breakwaters, respectively; for the removal of the outer end of the inner piers; for dredging the exterior basin to a depth of 18 feet; and for an inner channel about 2,000 feet long connecting Pere Marquette Lake with Lake Michigan, the minimum navigable width being 150 feet and depth of 18 feet. The break- waters and inner piers and revetments are built of stone-filled timber cribs and piling, all of which are capped with concrete super- structure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuation of a tem- porary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1916, was $1,090,587, exclusive of amount expended on previous project. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $20,000.

MANISTEE HARBOR, MICH. Location.-On the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 179 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 26 miles northerly from Ludington. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 776.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of March 2, 1867, June 10, 1872, March 3, 1873, March 3, 1875, August 14, 1876, September 19, 1890, July 13, 1892, March 2, 1907, and June 25, 1910. The cost and expenditures prior to the commencement of the existing project in 1913 were $354,998.68 for new work and $150,909.99 for maintenance,, a total of $505,908.67. For further details see page 1952 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel 23 feet deep, 570 feet wide, 1,600 feet to the outer end of the south pier; thence 21 feet deep between the piers and in the river, 120 to 220 feet wide, 2,000 feet; and thence with a minimum width of 100 feet from the inner end of the north revetment to Manistee Lake, about 6,400 feet. The project also provides for a south breakwater having a main arm 1,300 feet long and a shore connection 1,185 feet long, north pier and revetment 2,797 feet long, and south pier and revet- ment 695 feet long. The breakwater, shore connection, and piers are built of stone-filled timber cribs and piling and are capped with concrete superstructure. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 1/, feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1934, is $500,000, exclusive of amount expended on previous projects. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $20,000. 1494 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Local cooperation.-The act of July 3, 1930, provided "that no work shall be undertaken on the section of the river through and above the bridges until they have been modified in a manner satisfac- tory to the Secretary of War." The Smith Street Bridge has been rebuilt, but the Maple Street Highway Bridge and the railroad bridge have not been rebuilt. All prior requirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-There is a Government wharf and a private sand wharf on the north side of the river and a package-freight wharf with warehouse and a coal wharf on the south side. Indus- tries on Manistee Lake have wharves used for handling coal, salt, building materials, and pulpwood. The city has provided a wharf on the south side of the river for general public use. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 89,520 cubic yards for restoration of 20- and 18-foot depths in entrance channel and river, respectively, at a cost of $17,057.74. Placing 1,521 tons of stone as riprap along the south breakwater cost $5,184.70. Driving and wrapping 13 clusters of round piling, to facilitate the movement of large vessels, cost $21,- 768.16. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $44,010.60 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $47,102.57. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project in effect prior to the modification of July 3, 1930, was completed in 1923. The north pier and revetment, completed in 1893, and the south breakwater and shore connection in 1920, are in good condition. The dredging of entrance basin under the old project was completed in 1923. No work has been done on the last modification of the project providing for deepening the entrance basin and channel between the piers and in the river to Manistee Lake to 23- and 21-foot depths. The con- trolling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 23.2 feet in the outer basin, thence 20.9 feet in the channel between the piers, and 19.9 feet in the river to Manistee Lake. The costs under the existing project are $441,243.90 for new work and $530,- 522.61 for maintenance, a total of $971,766.51. The total expenditures are $965,925.91.

PORTAGE LAKE HARBOR OF REFUGE, MANISTEE COUNTY, MICH. Location.-On the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 186 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 37 miles northerly from Ludington. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 777.) Existing project.-This provides for a harbor of refuge, with an entrance channel from Lake Michigan to Portage Lake, 300 feet wide and 18 feet deep, protected by timber crib and pile piers and revetments. Concrete paving has been placed on 851 feet of the north pier and 901 feet of the south pier. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 1 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1902, was $344,300. There is no approved estimate for annual maintenance. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1879 (Annual Report for 1879, p. 1634). The latest published map is in House Document No. 588, Sixty-fourth Congress, first session. Recommended modifications of project.-Legislation authorizing the abandonment of the project for this harbor is recommended in House Document No. 588, Sixty-fourth Congress, first session. Terminal facilities.-There are inexpensive landing places at the inner end of Portage Lake. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 23,085 cubic yards from the entrance channel between the piers, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a total cost of $7,411.90 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $7,944.58. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was substan- tially completed in 1912 at a saving of $88,171 under the estimated cost. The piers and revetments were completed in 1901 and are in fair condi- tion. The dredging was completed in 1912 except for a small amount of hard material in the inner half of the channel. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 8 feet in a channel about 100 feet wide between the piers to Portage Lake. The costs under the existing project are $256,129.21 for new work and $205,195.10 for maintenance, a total of $461,324.31. The total expendi- tures are $463,311.31.

LELAND HARBOR, MICH. Location.--This harbor is on the east shore of Lake Michigan at the mouth of Carp (Leelanau) River, Mich., distant about 240 miles northeasterly 'from Chicago and about 35 miles northerly from Frankfort. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 78.) Existing project.--This provides for the removal of the wrecked outer portions of the old privately owned piers; for the construction of new piers converging from shore to an entrance 60 feet wide, the lengths to be 370 and 440 feet for the north and south piers, respectively; and for an entrance channel 6 feet deep and 40 feet wide, the inner end of channel being about 320 feet inside of the harbor entrance. The existing piers are formed of timber cribs and piling. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a tem- porary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1935, was $60,000. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 23, 74th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1501 Terminal facilities.-There are privately owned wharves on each side of the inner harbor extending from the dam located about 400 feet above the mouth of the river, for a distance of about 200 feet downstream, used principally by the local fishing interests, and to some extent by government mail, Coast Guard, and lighthouse boats, All available dockage space is utilized, but additional moorage area is to be provided by inner harbor enlargements. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of taking soundings and care and supervision, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a total deferred cost of $229.64 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $15,461.10. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1937. The converging piers, removal of outer portions of the old privately owned piers, and dredging, was completed in 1937. The remaining portions of the private piers are in poor condition. Prior to the work done by the Government the harbor had been built and maintained entirely by local interests without assistance. Carp River, about 4,000 feet long, connects Leelanau Lake with Lake Michi- gan. There is a concrete dam with a 9-foot head about 400 feet above the river mouth. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 8 feet at entrance, thence 6 feet through outer harbor, and 4 feet in river to the dam. The cost under the existing project is $64,181.34 for new work. The total expendi- tures are $64,410.98. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended, $589.02, will be applied to maintenance operations during the fiscal year.

Lake Survey Chart No. 789.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 18 feet deep from that depth in Lake Michigan to that depth in Lake Charlevoix pro- tected where needed by piers and revetments. The piers at the entrance are formed of stone-filled timber cribs and rubblestone, being 781 feet and 452 feet in length on north and south sides, re- spectively. The outer 25 feet of the south pier has been capped with concrete superstructure; the remainder and the outer 303 feet of the north pier have been paved with concrete. The revetments are built of piling and are capped with concrete. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one- half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctua- tions of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1938 is $95,500. The latest (1938) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $8,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Act Work authorized Documents and reports Aug. 14, 1876 Channel from Lake Michigan to Round Lake, S. Ex. Doc.

(Contains latest published map.) Terminal facilities.-These consist of several small landing places in Round Lake at Charlevoix used for handling fish and miscel- laneous commodities. The city of Charlevoix has provided a public wharf south of the inner end of the lower south revetment. There is also a coal wharf at Boyne City at the inner end of Lake Char- levoix. The city of Boyne City has provided a public wharf for small craft. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 8,953 cubic yards, by hired labor and use of Government plant, for restoration of project depth at a total cost of $2,744.71 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $3,008.77. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project in effect prior to the modification of June 20, 1938, was completed in 1902 at a saving of $105,795 under the estimated cost. The north pier and revetment of the lower channel was completed in 1880, and the south pier and revet- ment in 1889. The revetments of the upper channel were completed in 1885, and the dredging of both channels under the old project in 1902. No work has been done on the last modification of the project pro- RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1503 viding for deepening the channels to 18 feet. The piers and revetments of the lower channel and the south revetment of the upper channel are in generally fair condition. The north revetment of the upper channel has been removed, a portion being removed in 1928 and the remainder in 1930. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 17.3 feet in the lower channel to Round Lake and 16.2 feet in the upper channel to Lake Charlevoix. The costs under the existing project are $80,205.04 for new work and $307,326.69 for maintenance, a total of $387,531.73. The total expenditures are $388,349.34.

Location.-This harbor is on the west shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 51 miles south of Milwaukee and about 38 miles north from Chicago. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 74.) 101110-pt. 1-vol. 2-38--32 1508 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 Previous projects.-An appropriation of $15,000 was made by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1852, for a breakwater. This work was abandoned. The original project was adopted by River and Harbor Act of June 14, 1880, and modified by River and Harbor Act of August 2, 1882. The cost and expenditures prior to com- mencement of the existing project in 1903, and including appropria- tion of $15,000 made by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1852, were $218,233.54 for new work and $15,710.87 for maintenance, a total of $233,944.41. (For further details see p. 1940 of Annual Report for 1915.) Existing project.-This provides for- (a) A detached timber crib breakwater 600 feet long, and the construction of a northerly and westerly extension to shore about 1,300 feet long. (b) Two parallel piers of timber cribs and piling, about 240 feet apart, 1,613 and 3,212 feet long for the north and south pier, respectively, the inshore end of south pier being on a line diverging from the geheral line of the pier (Annual Report for 1906, p. 1760). (c) A channel 200 feet wide, 18 feet deep, extending from Lake Michigan to an inner basin of the same depth, protected on the east side by a pile revet- ment 882 feet long; including a bulkhead estimated to cost $30,000, in front of the city park, with additional dredging near the lake end of the north pier, and enlarging the inner basin. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a tem- porary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1930, is $614,300, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, but including $30,000 (cost of bulkhead) to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1930) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $7,000, on the completion of the project. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents and reports June 14, 1880 Parallel piers and basin_.__-.-.------------- _ Annual Report 1880, p. 1942.

(contains latest published map). Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act approved July 3, 1930, provided that no work shall be done on enlarging the inner basin until local interests have given assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War and the Chief of Engineers that they will assume the cost of a bulkhead in front of the city park at an estimated cost of $30,000. These assurances have not been given. Terminal facilities.-These consist of a wharf 1,000 feet long, owned by the North Shore Coke & Chemical Co., equipped with a RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1509 coal-handling tower, and two coal wharves, one salt wharf, and one package-freight and fishing wharf, all owned by the city of Wauke- gan. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Preliminary work in connection with proposed dredging was carried on at a cost of $1,391.95, for new work. Miscellaneous surveys were carried on at a cost of $609.97, for maintenance. The total cost was $2,001.92, of which $1,391.95 was for new work and $609.97 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $2,001.92. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 90 percent complete. The north pier and east revetment were com- pleted in 1904 and the south pier in 1909. The outer 600 feet of breakwater was completed in 1904 and its shore-arm extension in 1931. All structures are generally in good condition. The control- ling depths are 21.7 feet in the entrance channel to the outer end of the south pier, and about 18 feet in the remaining portion of the entrance channel and basin. Depths are based on soundings taken in April and May 1938 and are referred to low-water datum. The mean water level in June 1938 was 0.86 foot above datum. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is dredging to enlarge the inner basin and near the outer end of the entrance piers. The total cost was $1,342,450.83, of which $534,916.77 was for new work and $807,534.06 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $1,342,450.83.

CHICAGO HARBOR, ILL. Location.-Northeastern Illinois, near the southern end of Lake Michigan; 85 miles in a southerly direction from Milwaukee, Wis. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 752.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1833, and modified by River and Harbor Acts of June 23, 1866, March 2, 1867, July 1, 1868, and April 10, 1869. Work was con- tinued under these projects until 1870, the total cost and expendi- tures being $446,005, the division between new work and maintenance not being available. (For further details see p. 1941 of Annual Report for 1915.) Existing project.-This provides for the following work: (a) An inner breakwater, all of timber cribs, enclosing an inner basin of about 224 acres in extent, the breakwater being in two sections, as follows: The main inner breakwater 4,036 feet long with 300 feet of shore return on north end; a southerly extension 2,550 feet long. (b) An exterior breakwater enclosing an outer basin of about 970 acres in extent, the breakwater being in two sections, as follows: The main exterior breakwater built of timber cribs and 5,413 feet long, and the southerly exten- sion built of rubble mound and concrete caissons and 5,000 feet long, exclusive of the harbor entrance gap of 500 feet. (c) Maintenance dredging to a depth of 21 feet of that part of the inner basin lying north of a line drawn eastwardly perpendicular to the eastern boundary of Grant Park, from the northern end of said boundary, and also of" the entrance to Chicago River from the lake to Rush Street over a width vary- ing from 470 to 190 feet. (d) Maintenance of that section of the North Pier, 900 feet long, located east of the entrance to Ogden Slip. RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1511 The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Seasonal fluctuations in mean stage from low water in winter to high water in summer average about 1.2 feet. Local and temporary fluctuations of 0.1 to 0.5 foot due to wind and difference in barometric pressures occur daily. Seiches of 3 to 4 feet occur at infrequent intervals. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1914, was $3,686,500, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1928) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $50,000.

Terminal facilities.-The outer harbor terminals consist of two slips, one opening off from the main river, and one opening off from the inner basin; wharves, fronting on the river itself, and a municipal pier extending into the outer basin from the lake front at the outer end of Grand Avenue. The outer harbor facilities are not entirely adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-A total of 4,113.86 tons of stone was placed along the underwater slopes of the exterior rubble- mound breakwater, south of the entrance gap by contract at a cost of $15,982.08. This work is 91 percent complete. Preliminary work per- formed in connection with rebuilding the slopes of the exterior break- water cost $213.94. Miscellaneous surveys were performed at a cost of $324.27. The total cost was $16,520.29, all maintenance. The total expenditures were $2,463.06. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1923 at a saving of $276,658 under the estimated cost. The entrance to Chicago River has been improved by the construction of parallel entrance piers and dredging a channel 190 to 470 feet in width to a depth of 21 feet below datum. The northerly arm of the inner break- water (timber completed in 1874; concrete superstructure completed in 1934) is in good condition. The southerly arm (timber, 2,500 feet, completed in 1880; concrete superstructure completed in 1930) is in good condition. The exterior breakwater (timber, 5,413 feet, com- pleted in 1889; concrete superstructure completed in 1930) is in good condition, but some crib-filling stone and riprap stone probably will 1512 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 be required. The southerly extention (rubble mound, 2,270 feet, com- pleted in 1917) and the south arm (rubble mound, 1,500 feet, com- pleted in 1920; and concrete caisson 1,188 feet with 42 feet of rubble- mound connection completed in 1923) have undergone deterioration to some extent in the rubble-mound portions where some additional stone is required below water. The north pier (concrete superstruc- ture, 975 feet, completed in 1908) is in good condition. The controlling depth from the westward end of the lock near the mouth of the Chicago River to the Michigan Avenue Bridge is 21 feet. A small shoal about 18 feet deep is located immediately lakeward of the south leaf of the bridge. The mean water level in June 1938 was 0.86 foot above datum. The total cost was $5,222,178.50, of which $3,409,844.22 was for new work and $1,812,334.28 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $5,208,121.27.

CHICAGO RIVER, ILL. Location.-Cook and Lake Counties, Ill., the navigable portions being wholly in Cook County and the city of Chicago. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 752.) For description see page 1467 of Annual Report for 1932. Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 3, 1896, modified by acts of March 3, 1899, and June 13, 1902. The cost and expenditures prior to adoption of the existing project (act of Mar. 2, 1907) were $955,885.87 for new work and $109,462.55 for maintenance, a total of $1,065,348.42. For further details see page 1942 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for maintenance dredging to 21 feet below the hydraulic grade line, corresponding to low-water datum in Lake Michigan, of the main river from Rush Street to the junction of the North and South Branches (0.7 mile), the North Branch from the junction to North Avenue (2.22 miles), the North Branch Canal (1.04 miles), and the North Branch Turning Basin, the channels and turning basin to be maintained to project depth to within 20 feet of existing docks. The width of channel in main river varies from 200 to 300 feet, in North Branch from 50 to 150 feet, and in the North Branch Canal from 70 to 110 feet. All depths are referred to low-water datum 1 for Lake Michigan, with due allowance for hydraulic grade resulting from the drainage canal. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1899, was $810,600, exclusive of amount expended on previous project. The latest (1928) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $20,000. The existing project was authorized by the following River and Harbor Acts: 1 See report Chicago Harbor for elevation of datum.

The latest published map is in the Annual Report for 1914, opposite page 2928. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-In the Chicago River and its branches there is a total wharfage, including numerous slips, of about 150,000 feet, 1514 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 about 15,000 feet of which is used by private interests for shipping purposes. These terminals are owned and operated by steamboat lines, grain, coal, and lumber companies, and various other industries. They are more than adequate in extent for existing commerce. Except for the State of Illinois barge terminal and elevator at Damen Avenue on the South Branch (mentioned in terminal facilities on the Illinois River), there are no publicly owned docks, wharves, or other terminal facilities on the main river or its branches. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Miscellaneous surveys were made at a cost of $3,336.60. The total cost and expenditures were $3,336.60, all maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1914 at a saving of $265,921 under the estimated cost. The con- trolling depths are as follows: In the main river, 21 feet; in the North Branch of the river up to the North Branch Turning Basin, 21 feet; in the North Branch Canal, 20 feet. Depths in the Turning Basin are 21 feet, except in the northwest and southeast portions, where the depths vary from about 19 to 20 feet. Depths are based upon sound- ings taken in March 1938 and are referred to low water datum. The mean water level in June 1938 was 0.86 foot above datum. The heads of navigation for commercial vessels are Belmont Avenue on the North Branch and Ashland Avenue on the South Branch, 5.85 and 6.63 miles, respectively, from the Michigan Avenue Bridge. The total cost was $1,385,227.98, of which $544,678.70 was for new work and $840,549.28 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $1,385,227.98. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended will be applied to sounding, sweeping, and removal of obstructions, by hired labor, dur- ing the fiscal year. Additional dredging will be necessary to maintain project depth in the river. The additional sum of $67,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for this purpose, the work to be performed by contract in the spring of 1940.

CALUMET HARBOR AND RIVER, ILL. AND IND. Location.-NortheasternIllinois (Cook County), near the southern end of Lake Michigan, 1212 miles south of Chicago Harbor, and known on the Great Lakes as South Chicago Harbor, it being in the southerly part of and within the corporate limits of the city of Chi- cago, except for a part of the breakwaters and of the anchorage be- hind same, which are in Indiana. The Calumet River is within the Chicago city limits. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 755.) For description see page 1471 of Annual Report for 1932. Previous projects.-The original project for Calumet Harbor was adopted by River and Harbor Act of July 11, 1870, and modified Au- gust 11, 1888. Work was continued under these projects until 1896, the total cost and expenditures being $454,484.53. The original project for Calumet River was adopted by River and Harbor Act of July 5, 1884, and modified August 5, 1886. The cost and expenditures under this original and modified project were $446,718.98, of which $401,488.50 was for new work and $45,230.48 for maintenance. (For further details see p. 1943 of Annual Report for 1915.) Existing project.-This provides for the following work: (a) An outer harbor protected by two breakwaters, one (timber cribs) extending from the shore due east of 4,400 feet, thence southeasterly 2,500 feet; and the other a detached breakwater extending about 5,000 feet southeasterly with an entrance 600 feet wide between the breakwaters. (b) Dredging the outer harbor area to a depth of 26 feet 1 with a minimum width of 3,000 feet. (c) An entrance channel to the river 26 feet deep 1 between existing bulk- heads to the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway Co. bridge near the original shore line. (d) A channel in Calumet River, thence to The Forks, with a minimum width of 200 feet and with a depth of 25 feet to the Semet Solvay wharf, near One Hundred and Eleventh Street; a depth of 23 feet through the rock section in the vicinity of One Hundred and Eleventh and One Hundred and Fourteenth Streets, thence a depth of 21 feet to One Hundred and Twenty-second Street, and thence a depth of 21.5 feet to the head of the improvement. (e) Widening and straightening the river channel, except through the rock cut, to lines 20 feet from the bulkhead lines now or hereafter established. (f) Five turning basins at intervals along the channel, of suitable size for turning the largest lake cargo carriers, and each of the same depth as the adjacent channel. Fluctuations in stage of the river are practically those resulting from changes of water level in Lake Michigan. On Lake Michigan seasonal fluctuations in mean stage from low water in winter to high 1 Low-water datum for Lake Michigan (see report Chicago Harbor), to which all depths at this harbor are referred. 1516 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 water in summer average about 1.2 feet. Local and temporary fluc- 'tuations of 0.1 to 0.5 foot, due to wind and difference in barometric pressures, occur daily. Seiches of 3 to 4 feet occur at infrequent in- tervals. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, is $8,503,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $125,000.

Local cooperation.-The act of March 3, 1905, required as a condi- tion precedent to Federal expenditures upon any one of the five turn- ing basins the donation to the United States of the land necessary for that turning basin and have either provided any necessary bulk- heads or have released the United States from all damage to adjacent lands by reason of the excavation. As a result, the land needed for turning basins nos. 1, 3, and 5 has been conveyed to the United States. The total area thus conveyed is 17.85 acres, and the value of the land at the time of its conveyance was approximately $35,700. The act of August 30, 1935, provided that the widening of the channel at any locality or the future excavation of a turning basin shall not be commenced until local interests have furnished, free of cost to the United States, the lands or easements necessary for such widening or excavation and have either provided any necessary bulk- heads, or have released the United States from all damages to adjacent lands by reason of the excavation. Terminal facilities.--All terminal facilities on the lake front and in the entrance channel up to the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway bridge are owned and operated by two steel companies, except a 450- linear-foot reservation owned by the Engineer Department. These facilities consist in part of two slips which are 2,900 and 1,300 feet long, respectively, and also of about 2,961 feet of wharfage facing on the entrance channel. These terminals are fully equipped and are considered adequate for existing commerce. Additional dock- age exists on the lake front and along the entrance channel, but for various reasons it is not now suitable for terminal uses. Between the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway bridge and The Forks there are about 45,800 feet of wharfage, including 14 slips and dry- docks, of which about 31,300 feet are in use. These wharves are RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1517 owned and operated by various private and industrial concerns han- dling ore, coal, grain, lumber, etc. About 3,600 feet are in use for shipbuilding purposes. The ore, grain, and coal wharves are fully equipped and are considered adequate for existing commerce. There are no public wharves .on the Calumet River. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-A total of 184,236 cubic yards of material (place measurement) was removed from sections 3A and 4A in the outer harbor, by contract, at a cost of $91,621.09. Maintenance.--A total of 505,076 cubic yards of material (scow measurement) was dredged in the river from Ninety-second Street to and including turning basin No. 5, by contract, at a cost of $262,- .531.71. Obstructions were removed from the entrance channel lake- ward from the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Ry. bridge, by contract, at a cost of $155.53. Preliminary work in connection with dredging by contract cost $6,179.43. Miscellaneous surveys were carried on at a cost of $2,317.25. The total cost was $362,805.01, of which $91,621.09 was for new work and $271,183.92 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $455,398.11. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 65.5 percent complete. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the construction of turning basins Nos. 2 and 4, dredging portions of the outer harbor, and deepening, widening, and straightening the Calumet River. The timber breakwater (completed in 1904; con- crete superstructure completed in 1924) is in good condition. The cellular-type, steel-sheet-pile breakwater (completed in 1935) is in good condition. Under permit from the Secretary of War the Youngs- town Sheet & Tube Co. and its predecessor have removed all the south pier (completed in 1897) and rebuilt the frontage with a concrete dock wall 2,961 feet in length. The controlling depth in the entrance chan- nel is greater than the project depth of 26 feet. The controlling depth in the river is about 21 feet up to and including turning basin No. 5, at the head of the project. Depths are based on soundings and sweepings taken in October, November, and December 1937. The mean water level in June 1938 was 0.86 foot above datum. The head of navigation for deep draft vessels in the river is at turning basin No. 5 at the entrance to Lake Calumet. Dredging in the outer harbor has produced the project depth of 26 feet over an area of about 557 acres. This work is about 70 percent complete.

A contract for dredging the remainder of the turning basin to project dimen- sions, and with the dredged material reclaiming about 26 acres of sub- merged Government lands at Fort MacArthur. was awarded May 23, 1938, but work thereunder was not started during tile fiscal year. Marntenance.-Repairwork on the revetment near tile southwesterly corner of Reservation Point was started on January 6. and comlpleted on January 12, 1938, with 1,513.8 tollns of stone placed, of which 457.8 tons were used to protect property owned by the Treasury Depart- ment, the cost of which was reimbursed by that agency. Maintenance dredging inl Long Beach" Entrance Channel by U. S. hopper dredge Mackenzie was commenced March '21, and completed May 6, 1938. A total of 635.080 cubic yards was dredged. Total costs were $1,221.646.88 from regular funds, of which $1.171,- 709.58 was for new work and $49,937.30 for maintelance. Total expenditures were $1,427,033.23 from regular fu ldts. RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1649 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is completed, except for dredging necessary to complete the Los Angeles Outer Har- bor turning basin to project dimensions, contract for which has been awarded. The San Pedro breakwater was completed in 1912; the silt diversion works in 1923; the detached breakwater and Los Angeles Harbor Entrance Channel deepening in 1937. The San Pedro and detached breakwaters are in excellent condi- tion, and the Long Beach breakwater in fair condition. Full project dimensions obtain in all channels and turning basins, except in the westerly 2,500 feet of the Los Angeles Outer Harbor turning basin.

(See United States Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5261.) Existing project.-This provides for maintenance by dredging of the present depths into the harbor formed by the breakwater con- structed by local interests. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The range of tide between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.4 feet. The extreme range is about 10.5 feet. The latest (1934) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $30,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (Senate committee print, 73d Cong., 2d sess.). Prior to adoption by Congress, the work was authorized by the Public Works Administration. Local cooperation.-No specific local cooperation is required under the terms of the project. However, local interests contributed the :sum of $51,200 during the fiscal year 1938 to cover the excess cost of depositing dredged material on the beach, over the estimated cost of similar dredging with disposal at sea. Terminal facilities.-There is one wharf 2,200 feet long, with ware- house used for general cargo and by fishing boats; also a landing float and mooring facilities for small craft. Operations and results during fiscal year-Maintenance.--Opera- tions with regular funds consisted of dredging, by contract, at the RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1651 entrance to Santa Barbara Harbor, and depositing the dredged mate- rial along about 5,000 linear feet of beach, May 6 to June 18, 1938. A total of 606,427 cubic yards of material was dredged, of which 582,000 cubic yards were pay material under the terms of the contract. The extra cost of depositing the dredged material on the beach, over the cost of disposal at sea, was jointly contributed by the city and county of Santa Barbara. The cost of maintenance was $76,249.35 from regular funds, and $50,000 from contributed funds; a total of $126,249.35. Expenditures were $18,519.14 from regular funds and $50,000 from contributed funds, a total of $68,519.14. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The breakwater, constructed and maintained by local interests, is in good condition. Original depths have been restored at the harbor entrance, but this area is subject to continuous and rapid shoaling. The controlling depth in the en- trance is 25 feet for a width of 300 feet. About 5,000 linear feet of beach easterly of the harbor, which had been seriously eroded, have been restored by the deposit of dredged material. The costs of maintenance and beach restoration to date are $29,- 198.39 from Public Works funds; $76,253.35 from regular funds; and $50,000 from contributed funds, a total of $155,451.74. Expenditures were $29,198.39 from Public Works funds; $18,523.14 from regular funds; and $50,000 from contributed funds, a total of $97,721.53. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on July 1, 1938, will be applied to the settlement of outstanding obligations. The additional sum of $75,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940, for maintenance dredging.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL AND WATER CONSERVA- TION, CALIFORNIA Location.-The works covered by this project are in Los Angeles metropolitan area on Los Angeles River and tributaries, and on trib- utaries of the San Gabriel River and Rio Hondo, on Kenter Canyon and Ballona Creeks, and include a drainage system near Long Beach. The works extend from the San Gabriel and the Santa Monica Moun- tains through the coastal plain to the Pacific Ocean. RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1655 Existing project.-Under provisions of the Emergency Relief Ap- propriation Act of 1935, the President approved on July 10, 1935, an allotment for unemployment relief amounting to $13,869,000 for construction of 14 flood control units. Under the provisions of subsequent revocations and allotments, the project was modified to include 11 units, for which the sum of $16,- 914,000 (including all allotments and revocations), was made avail- able from the Emergency Relief Appropriation Acts of 1935 and 1936. Items of the project upon which work remained to be done on June 30, 1937, were transferred to the project "Los Angeles County drain- age area, California-Flood control," for completion. Local cooperation.-The Los Angeles County flood-control district is required to contribute $3,500,000 toward the cost of the work, fur- nish free of cost to the United States all rights-of-way and easements, maintain and operate the works after completion, and hold and save the United States harmless from all claims for damages arising from the construction, maintenance, and operation of the project. The full $3,500,000 has been contributed, and in addition, the Los Angeles County flood-control district made voluntary contributions of $348,000 toward the contruction of Eaton Dam and $390,000 to- ward the construction of bridges. All of the rights-of-way necessary for prosecution of work have been provided. Completed units have been officially accepted by the Los Angeles County flood-control dis- trict for maintenance and operation. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The balance of Emer- gency Relief funds available under this project was applied to the settlement of outstanding obligations and to continuing construction of channel improvements by hired labor on Ballona Creek and Comp- ton Creek. Contributed funds were applied to the construction of bridges. The cost of new work was $1,652,363.68 from Emergency Relief funds and $313,124.37 from contributed funds, a total of $1,965,488.05; expenditures were $420,932.15 from Emergency Relief funds and $313,124.37 from contributed funds, a total of $734,056.52. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The following units of the project were completed in 1937: Long Beach northeast drainage system, Rubio Wash, Eaton Wash Dam, and Kenter Canyon storm drain. The improvement of Arroyo de Los Jardines was transferred to the Works Progress Administration for completion. Plans for additional work on the La Crescenta improvement were abandoned, thus effecting com- pletion of this unit. The status of remaining units initally under- taken under this project is reported under the project, "Los Angeles County drainage area, California-Flood control." The total cost of new work was $16,866,212.71 from Emergency Relief funds and $4,149,259.98 from contributed funds, a total of $21,015,472.69. Expenditures were $16,890,443.06 from Emergency Relief funds and $4,149,259.98 from contributed funds, a total of $21,039,703.04. Proposed operations.-No work is proposed under this project. The unexpended balance, amounting to $112,097.02, will be applied to settlement of outstanding obligations. 1656 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY DRAINAGE AREA, CALIF.-FLOOD CONTROL Location.-The works covered by this project are located along the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Rivers and Ballona Creek and tribu- taries thereof in Los Angeles County drainage area, California. (See preceding project 7.) Existing project.-This provides for the construction of reservoirs and principal flood channels in Los Angeles and San Gabriel Rivers and Ballona Creek and tributaries thereof, in accordance with plans to be approved by the Chief of Engineers on recommendation of the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors, at an estimated construc- tion cost not to exceed $70,000,000, estimated cost of lands and damages $17,012,000. 1658 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act of June 22, 1936, as amended by the act of May 15, 1937. Local cooperation.-See page 8. Operations and results during fiscal year--New work.-Opera- tions with regular, Emergency Relief, and contributed funds by hired labor consisted of surveys, clearing of rights-of-way, preparation of plans and specifications for flood control dams, and construction of channel improvements and bridges on the Los Angeles River, Ballona Creek, Compton Creek, Verdugo Wash, Alhambra Wash, and Haines Canyon (channel and debris basin). Work performed included the following quantities: Excavation, 6,825,042 cubic yards; reinforced concrete, 332,351 cubic yards; levees, 974,510 cubic yards; backfill, 1,032,356 cubic yards; embankment. (dam construction), 36,000 cubic yards; slope paving, 47,464 squares; toe rock, 336,363 tons; spalls, 173,780 tons; derrick stone, 79,502 tons; steel sheet piling, 557,070 square feet. A major flood, affecting the coastal basin of Southern California, occurred early in March 1938, causing severe damage to partially completed channel improvement works on the Los Angeles River be- tween Lankershim Boulevard and Dayton Avenue, a distance of ap- proximately 1112 miles. Prior to the end of the fiscal year, the damaged works were repaired and substantially completed, with modified design at critical points, between Chevy Chase Drive and Dayton Avenue, a distance of approximately 5 miles. Restoration of damaged works above Niagara Street has been postponed until the Hansen Flood Control Dam has been substantially completed. In addition, channel improvements were completed between Washington Boulevard and Soto Street, a distance of about 3,000 feet, and a bottle- neck was removed at Long Beach Boulevard. Improvements of Verdugo Wash, Albambra Wash, and Haines Canyon were completed during the fiscal year; Ballona Creek was completed except for capping the jetties at the outlet and minor side- drainage features, and Compton Creek was substantially completed for a distance of approximately 2 miles above Greenleaf Street. The cost of new work was $4,860,294.25 from regular funds, $11,- 575,719.33 from Emergency Relief funds, and $320,828.36 from con- tributed funds, a total of $16,756,841.94. Expenditures were $4,245, 120.06 from regular funds, $8,550,861.73 from Emergency Relief RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1659 funds, and $320,828.36 from contributed funds, a total of $13,116,810.15. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The following units of the project were completed in 1938: Sycamore and Verdugo Washes; Alhambra Wash; and Haines Canyon. Improvement of Ballona Creek is com- pleted except for minor side-drainage measures and capping jetties at the outlet. Compton Creek Channel is completed for a distance of 41/2 miles above the Los Angeles River, and is substantially com- pleted for an additional 2 miles. Approximately 3.0 miles of channel improvements have been completed on the Los Angeles River, and about 7.4 miles are partially completed. The entire project is 23.4 percent completed.

S. ARMY, 1938 9. SANTA ANA RIVER, CALIF. Location.-These works are located on the Santa Ana River and tributaries and other streams in Orange and San Bernardino Coun- ties, Calif. Existing project.--This provides for the construction of reservoirs and related flood-control works for the protection of the metropolitan area of Orange County, at an estimated construction cost not to ex- ceed $13,000,000 and estimated cost of $3,740,000 for lands and dam- ages. The project was originally authorized by the Flood Control Act of June 22, 1936, and was modified by the Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938, to provide for the control of floods on San Antonio and Chino Creeks, in accordance with plans approved by the Chief of Engineers, with authorization of $6,500,000 for initiation and partial accomplishment of the plans. The individual project units considered in the general plan for this project are listed as follows: Name : Type ~Prado ------------------------------------- Flood control dam. Brea ------------------------------------- Do. Fullerton------------------------------------- Do. San Juan ------------------------------------- Do. San Antonio ------------------------------- Do. San Antonio Creek---------------------------- Channel improvement. Local cooperation.-See page 8. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Engineering plans and investigations preparatory to initiating work under the project were accomplished with regular funds, including hydrology studies of the entire drainage area; surveys at reservoir sites; preliminary designs for dam and outlet structures; core drilling, test borings, and ex- ploratory work. There was no construction work undertaken. The cost of new work was $241,105.14, from regular funds. Expenditures were $236,567.33. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Plans and specifications for Prado Dam are completed. Core drillings are completed at the other sites and detailed plans for these reservoirs are partially completed. Total costs and expenditures to date are as stated in the preceding para- graph.

Location.-The works included under this project are in San Francisco Bay, in the vicinity of San Francisco, and in the approach channels to the Golden Gate, the bay entrance. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5532.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of July 25, 1868, June 10, 1872, June 23, 1874, March 3, 1899, June 13, 1902, June 25, 1910, and September 22, 1922. The total cost was $1,505,719.94, of which $1,030,398.99 was for new work and $475,- 320.95 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $2,631,562.34. For further details see page 1978 of Annual Report for 1915, page 1749 of Annual Report for 1921, and page 1633 of Annual Report for 1929. Existing project.-This provides for dredging a channel through the San Francisco Bar on the line of the main ship channel, 50 feet deep and 2,000 feet wide; the removal of Presidio Shoal, Black Point Shoal, Rincon Reef Rock (inner), Rincon Reef Rock (outer), Blos- som Rock, and Alcatraz Shoal, westward of a: north-and-south line 2,500 feet west of Alcatraz Light, to a depth of 40 feet; the removal of Arch Rock, Shag Rocks Nos. 1 and 2, Harding Rock, Raccoon Shoal, and Point Knox Shoal, westward of a north-and-south line through Point Stuart Light, and a portion of the shoal channelward of the pierhead line near the mouth of Islais Creek to a depth of 35 feet, and for dredging a channel 750 feet wide and 10 feet deep from that depth in the bay to San Francisco Airport ending in a basin 10 feet deep and approximately 2,000 feet in width. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.7 feet, with an extreme range of 10.5 feet. The estimate of cost for new work revised in 1937 is $2,053,600, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects and exclusive of $137,000 to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $237,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: 1670 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Local cooperation.-The act of August 26, 1937, requires that local interests contribute one-half the initial cost of the channel to San Francisco Airport, construct suitable works for the protection of the harbor at that point, furnish free of cost to the United States, neces- sary rights-of-way and suitable bulkheaded spoil-disposal areas for new work and for subsequent maintenance as required, and an area 400 to 660 feet in width and up to 1,250 feet in length, with a front- age on the proposed seaplane harbor of not less than 860 feet, and having satisfactory access by land to the public highway system and to the runways of the airport landing field. The requirements have not as yet been fulfilled. Terminal facilities.-The State has 42 piers, 14 passenger- and automobile-ferry slips, 6 car-ferry slips, a large union pa ssenger depot, some 2.2 miles of bulkhead wharves parallel to the sea wall, providing an aggregate of 11.9 miles of berthing space. The exist- ing facilities are considered ,adequate. (See Port Series No. 12, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. There were no costs. The expenditures were $11,334.76. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 82 percent completed. The dredging of Islais Creek Shoal was com- pleted in 1930, the deepening of Presidio Shoal in 1931, the removal of various rocks in 1932, the deepening of Point Knox Shoal in 1934, the deepening of Alcatraz Shoal in 1936, and the deepening of Black Point Shoal in 1937. The controlling depths over various items of the project and the dates on which these depths were determined are as follows: Bar channel, 47 feet, March 4, 1937; Presidio Shoal, 46 feet; Black Point Shoal, 38 feet, close to the pierhead line; Alcatraz Shoal, 52 feet; Point Knox Shoal, 36 feet; all at the end of the fiscal year; Islais Creek Shoal, 31 feet, July 7, 1937, Rincon Reef Rock (inner), 41 feet, August 27, 1932; Rincon Reef Rock (outer), 41 feet, August 20, 1932; Blossom Rock, 42 feet, May 10, 1932; Arch Rock, 35 feet, August 19, 1932; Shag Rocks, nos. 1 and 2, both 37 feet, August 25, 1932; HIard- ing Rock, 35 feet, August 3, 1932.

The cost of new work to the end of the fiscal year was $193,000 from Public Works funds and $850,801.03 from regular funds, a total of $1,043,801.03; the cost of maintenance was $159,786.89. The expenditures to the end of the fiscal year were $193,000 from Public Works funds and minus $114,278.67 from regular funds, a total of $78,721.33. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended July 1, 1938, amouting to $137,000, together with $137,000 of contributed funds, will be applied to new work, dredging the channel and basin at San Francisco Airport by contract, September to December 1938. This will complete this portion of the project. The funds will be exhausted about December 31, 1938. The additional sum of $150,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for new work dredging the bar channel by Government hopper dredge, September to November 1939, and April to June 1940. This work will practically complete the new work on this channel.

S. ARMY, 1938 2. REDWOOD CREEK, CALIF. Location.-Redwood Creek is a tributary of San Francisco Bay, about 20 miles south of the city of San Francisco. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5531.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 5, 1884, and modified by the River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902. The cost and expenditure of the orig- inal and modified projects was $31,442.66. (For further details of previous projects see p. 1979 of Annual Report for 1915.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 27 feet deep and 200 feet wide from deep water in San Francisco Bay to the junction of Redwood Creek and West Point Slough, with an enlargement at a bend, about 1,100 feet long and 250 feet wide; for a turning basin about 1,800 feet long, 700 feet wide, and 27 feet deep at the inner end of the channel; thence a channel 5 feet deep and 150 feet wide to the old municipal wharf on the right bank at the mouth of Stein- berger Slough, about three-fourths of a mile below Redwood City. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at the mouth of the creek is 7.9 feet, with an extreme range of about 13.5 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, is $250,300, exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects, but inclusive of $120,000 contributed by local interests. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $16,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 25, 1910 For a 5-foot channel_... __ ..- H. Doc. No. 307, 61st Cong., 2d sess.

(Con- feet wide. tains latest published map.) Local cooperation.-All requirements have been satisfactorily met. Terminal facilities.-There are seven open-pile wharves of ordinary pile construction and one bulkhead landing on Redwood Creek and one wharf on West Point Slough. One wharf is a modern, publicly owned, deep-water, general-cargo wharf open to all craft on equal terms; five are for the exclusive use of the owners; one wharf and the bulkhead landing are open to all shallow-draft craft. Three wharves and the bulkhead landing have highway connections; there are no direct railroad connections. Operations and results during fiscal year.-As new work under contract in force at the beginning of the fiscal year, 730,918 cubic yards of material were removed from the project channel and turn- ing basin. This completed the project. The costs were $34,697.43 United States funds and $66,359.95 contributed funds, a total of $101,057.38. The expenditures were $133,022.70, of which $66,662.75 were from United States funds and $66,359.95 from contributed funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1937, at a saving of $855 under the estimated cost. At the RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1673 end of the fiscal year the controlling depth was 28 feet from San Francisco Bay to Corkscrew Slough, thence 24 feet to the upper end of the turning basin. In September 1929, the date of the last survey, the channel upstream from the turning basin was 6 feet deep to the Municipal Yacht Harbor at Boundary Slough; thence 4 feet deep to Smith Creek; thence shoaling to mean lower low water at the head of navigation at the Bayshore Highway bridge. The cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $249,465.26 for new work ($129,893.03 from United States funds and $119,572.23 from contributed funds), and $7,023.41 for maintenance, a total of $256,488.67. The expenditures were $256,488.67 ($136,- 916.44 from United States funds and $119,572.23 from contributed funds). Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated during the fiscal years 1939 and 1940.

OAKLAND HARBOR, CALIF. Location.--Located on the eastern side of San Francisco Bay, oppo- site the city of San Francisco. The inner harbor is situated between the cities of Oakland and Alameda. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5535.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of June 23, 1874, June 13, 1902, March 2, 1907, and June 25, 1910. The costs and expenditures of the original and modified projects prior to the adoption of the existing project were $4,386,801.03 for new work and $684,028.18 for maintenance, a total of $5,070,829.21. For further details see page 1979 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1755 of Annual Report for 1921. Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel about 11/2 miles long, 30 feet deep, and 800 feet wide, through the shoal southeast of Yerba Buena Island, narrowing to 600 feet at the ends of Oakland Jetties; a channel from the ends of the jetties to the tidal canal, 30 feet deep, 600 feet wide, to the west end of Govern- ment Island, thence 500 feet wide through Brooklyn Basin; for dredging to a depth of 30 feet a triangular area about 2,700 feet long and of a maximum width of 300 feet at the western end of Brooklyn Basin; a turning basin at the east end of Brooklyn Basin 30 feet deep, 500 feet wide, and 1,200 feet long; a channel 1.9 miles long in the tidal canal, 30 feet deep and 275 feet wide from Brooklyn Basin to Park Street, and 25 feet deep above the Park Street Bridge, to San Leandro Bay; a total chainnel length of 81/2 miles. The project pro- vides also for an entrance channel to the outer harbor, 30 feet deep and 800 feet wide at the bay end, narrowing to 600 feet at the pier- RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1675 head line. The project also includes parallel rubbre-mound jetties at the entrance, a north jetty 9,500 feet long, and a south jetty 12,000 feet long; the maintenance of the north channel of Brooklyn Basin, 25 feet deep and 300 feet wide, the maintenance to 30-foot depth and to within 75 feet of the pierhead line of the area along the south side of the channel from Harrison Street eastward to harbor line point no. 58 in Brooklyn Basin; and three highway bridges across the tidal canal constructed by the United States and operated by local authorities, one of which (at Park St.) has been replaced by local interests. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 6.1 feet, and the extreme range is 11 feet. The estimated cost of new work, authorized by the acts of Sep- tember 22, 1922, January 21, 1927, and July 3, 1930, is $1,492,000, ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects, but including $150,- 000 to be contributed by local interests. Overdepth dredging in the main channel, in the nature of deferred maintenance, involved an estimated expenditure of $1,035,000. The latest (1930) approved esti- mate for annual cost of maintenance is $110,000.

No. 28, 70th Cong. Local cooperation.-All requirements of local cooperation have been satisfactorily met except those pertaining to the maintenance of the north channel in Brooklyn Basin and the deepening of the tidal canal. Terminal facilities.-There are 84 wharves and 13 ferry slips in the harbor. These facilities are considered adequate. (See Port Series No. 12, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-As maintenance 4,101 cubic yards of material were removed from the tidal canal near the mouth of Sausal Creek by contract. Project depth was restored in that area. The costs were $2,186.31. The expenditures were $16.29. 1676 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 82 percent completed. At the end of the year the controlling depth in the channels across the shoal southeast of Yerba Buena Island and to the inner and outer harbors was 30 feet for practically the full project width. In the inner harbor, the channel was 30 feet to the western end of Brooklyn Basin, 600 feet wide from the entrance to Oak Street, Oakland, widening to 800 feet at the outfitting wharf of the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation, again widening to 1,200 feet at the western end of Brooklyn Basin. Two shoals with a con- trolling depth of 26 feet existed on the two sides of the turning basin at that point. Thence the channel was 29 feet deep and 500 feet wide to the turning basin at the eastern end of Brooklyn Basin, which was 30 feet deep for its full dimensions. The controlling depth in the tidal canal was 18 feet, with less depth near the channel edges. The north channel in Brooklyn Basin was 18 feet deep for a width of 200 feet. The work remaining to be done is the deepening of the tidal canal. The cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $1,218,009.23 for new work, of which $1,134,462.21 was from United States funds and $83,547.02 from contributed funds, and $1,467,853.53 for maintenance, a total of $2,685,862.76. The expenditures were $2,683.692.74, of which $2,600,145.72 was from United States funds and $83,547.02 from contributed funds.

RICHMOND HARBOR, CALIF. Location.-Located on the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay about 10 miles north of Oakland. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5532.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 30 feet deep from :San Francisco Bay to the Santa Fe Channel (Ellis Slough), 400 feet wide between the bay and the basin at terminal No. 1; thence 500 feet wide to Point Potrero, with an increased width to 1,150 feet .at the turn off that point; thence widening from 700 feet just east of Point Potrero to 850 feet at a point 575 feet northerly therefrom; thence 850 feet wide to the Santa Fe Channel; for widening and flaring the basin at terminal No. 1 and the subsequent maintenance, to a depth of 30 feet, of the basin as thus enlarged to within 75 feet of the pierhead line; for the maintenance to a depth of 30 feet in the Santa Fe Channel to within 50 feet of the established harbor lines; for approach areas 32 feet deep to within 75 feet of the pierhead line in the outer harbor at Point San Pablo, Point Orient, and Rich- mond Long wharf; and for a training wall 10,000 feet long extending in a general westerly direction from Brooks Island. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.8 feet, with an extreme range of about 11 feet. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1938, is $1,411,000. The latest (1938) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $45;500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: 1678 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Local cooperation.-The act of August 30, 1935, requires local inter- ests to furnish spoil-disposal areas free of cost to the United States. The act of June 20, 1938, requires that local interests furnish neces- sary rights-of-way and spoil-disposal areas for initial work and sub- sequent maintenance and that no portion of the channel widening north of Point Potrero authorized by that act be undertaken until assurances are received that industries will avail themselves of the improved navigation facilities. All prior requirements have been fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-In the inner harbor there are two modern deep-water terminals, one oil wharf, one lumber wharf, one private general-cargo wharf, seven wharves for intraport commerce, and one ferry terminal. In the outer harbor there are one deep-water gen- eral-cargo terminal, two oil wharves, one small barge wharf, one wharf (at present idle), and one ferry terminal. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The United States hopper dredge Mackenzie removed 595,618 cubic yards from the chan- nel between the basin at terminal No. 1 and the southern end of ter- minal No. 3, as maintenance. The cost was $26,031.78; the expendi- tures were $23,739.14. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 85 percent completed. At the end of the fiscal year the inner harbor channel was 400 feet wide and 30 feet deep to the basin at terminal No. 1; thence 500 feet wide and 29 feet deep to the turn at Point Potrero; thence 1,000 feet wide and from 25 to 30 feet deep around that turn; thence 475 feet wide and 28 feet deep to the lower end of the turning basin opposite terminal No. 3; thence the turning basin was 850 feet wide, and 28 feet deep. In the basin at terminal No. 1 the controlling depth was 30 feet, except at one small shoal where it was 28 feet. Lesser depths prevailed along the channel and turn- ing basin edges at some localities. In April 1938 the controlling depth in the Santa Fe Channel was 30 feet, and in the approach area in the outer harbor to Long wharf it was 32 feet. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the widen- ing and flaring of the basin at terminal No. 1, the widening of the channel at the turn at Point Potrero from 1,000 feet to 1,150 feet, and the widening of the channel north of that point, as authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved June 22, 1938, and the dredging of the approach areas to the wharves at Point San Pablo and Point Orient.

SAN PABLO BAY AND MARE ISLAND STRAIT, CALIF. Location.-The channel extends from a point in the lower end of San Pablo Bay west of Pinole Point in a general northeasterly di- rection across Pinole Shoal in San Pablo Bay to the junction of Carquinez Strait and Mare Island Strait, thence northwesterly in Mare Island Strait along the frontage of the Mare Island Navy Yard. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart no. 5533.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of June 13, 1902, February 27, 1911, and August 8, 1917. The total cost was $2,446,083, of which $1,086,703.45 was for new work and $1,359,379.55 was for maintenance. The total expenditures were $2,639,730.97. The above total does not include $22,422.40 recovered by a contractor subsequently through a ruling by the auditor for the War Department. (For further details for San Pablo Bay see p. 1981 of Annual Report for 1915, and for details of Mare Island Strait improvement by the Navy Department see p. 4 of H. Doc. No. 1103, 60th Cong., 2d sess.) Existing project.-This provides for dredging a channel across Pinole Shoal in San Pablo Bay 600 feet wide and 35 feet deep; thence through Mare Island Strait a channel 700 feet wide and 30 feet deep flaring to a turning basin generally 1,000 feet wide from existing dike 6, Mare Island, to a line 75 feet southerly from the causeway between Vallejo and Mare Island, 30 feet deep, except at the northerly end where the project depth is 26 feet. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.9 feet at the lower end of San Pablo Bay, and 6.4 feet opposite the Mare Island Navy Yard, with an extreme range of about 10 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1938, is $295,000 ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1938) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $195,000.

Terminal facilities.-There are 3 wharves along the southern shore of San Pablo Bay, 2 along the northern shore, 11 wharves along the southern shore of Carquinez Strait, and 5 on the northern shore of this strait; in Mare Island Strait there are 5 commercial wharves and 2 ferry slips, in addition to the navy-yard facilities. The facili- ties are adequate. (See Port Series No. 12, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-The United States hop- per dredges San Pablo and Mackenzie removed 1,403,107 cubic yards from the Pinole Shoal Channel and 1,281,387 cubic yards from the Mare Island Strait Channel and turning basin. All work was main- tenance. The costs were $20,491.79 for the model study of Mare Island Strait made by the United States Waterways Experiment Station and completed near the end of the fiscal year 1937, and $76,829.76 for dredging, a total of $97,321.55, all for maintenance; the expenditures were $93,755.58. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project is about 45 percent completed. At the end of the year the controlling depth in Pinole Shoal Channel was 33 feet. In Mare Island Strait the channel was 600 feet wide to the existing turning basin, with controlling depths of 29 feet between the entrance to the strait and the ammunition wharf on Mare Island, and 27 feet upstream'from that wharf. In the turn- ing basin the controlling depth was 26 feet, except in the extreme northeast corner where it was about 16 feet. Lesser depths than the controlling depths existed at various points along the edges of the channel and turning basin. The cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $132,923.90 for new work and $795,670.05 for maintenance, a total of $928,593.95. The expenditures were $731,380.01. The work remaining to be done is the widening of the Mare Island Strait Channel to 700 feet and the extension of the turning basin northerly to a line 75 feet from the causeway between Vallejo and Mare Island and southerly to existing dike 6.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1683 6. NAPA RIVER, CALIF. Location.-This stream rises in the St. Helena Mountains, flows in a southerly direction, and empties into Mare Island Strait. The navigable portion is a tidal estuary. The head of navigation is at the city of Napa, 17 miles above the mouth. (See U. S. Coast and Geo- detic Survey Chart No. 5533.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 11, 1888, and modified by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1919. The cost and expenditures were $27,- 555.55 for new work and $34,595.68 for maintenance, a total of $62,- 151.23. For further details see page 1756, Annual Report for 1930. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 8 feet deep at mean lower low water from Mare Island Strait to the head of navigation at Napa, 100 feet wide below the mouth of Asylum Slough, 75 feet wide from Asylum Slough to the head of the project, with additional widths at certain difficult bends. The length of the section included in the project is 17 miles. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 6.4 feet at the mouth and 7.1 feet at the head of navigation. The extreme range is about 11 feet. The estimated cost of new work, made in 1931, was $62,500. The lat- est (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $8,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 6, 72d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in that document. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are 14 wharves on the river, 6 of which are for general cargo, 4 are in connection with oil-distributing plants, and 4 for other miscellaneous purposes. Operations and results during fiscal year.-For new work by con- tract, under way at the beginning of the fiscal year, 12,514 cubic yards of material were removed. This completed the project. The cost was $5,337.22. The expenditures were $46,599.05. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project was completed in 1937. At the end of the year the controlling depths, for the full project width, were 11 feet to Suscol; thence 8 feet to a point about 200 feet downstream from the head of the project; thence 4 feet at the head of the project. The cost and expenditures of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year were $73,750, all for new work. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated during the fiscal year 1939. The sum of $15,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for maintenance dredging in the upper portion of the I)roject channel, April and May 1940. The project was completed in July 1937, and the upper portion will require redredging by the end of the winter of 1939 to 1940.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1687 9. BODEGA BAY, CALIF. Location.-Bodega Bay is a triangular lagoon on the California coast 58 miles north of San Francisco. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Chart No. 5603.) Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel 100 feet wide and 12 feet deep at mean lower low water, protected by jetties; a channel of the same dimensions as the entrance channel to the town of Bay, and thence southerly along the shore for a distance of about 4,200 feet, with three widenings or turning basins 12 feet deep and 300 to 400 feet in width, one located at the inner end of the entrance channel, the second at the junction of the bay and shore channels near the town of Bay, and the third at the southern end of the shore channel; and a suitable bulkhead to prevent sand from the spit near the entrance being carried into the bay channel. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.6 feet, and the extreme tidal range is about 11 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1938, is $565,000. The latest (1938) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $15,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 20, 1938 (H. Doc. No. 619, 75th Cong., 3d sess.). The latest published map is in that document. Local cooperation.-The act of June 20, 1938, requires that local interests furnish, free of cost to the United States, the right to obtain the required stone from a quarry approved by the Chief of Engineers, and suitable spoil-disposal areas, together with necessary impounding works, for initial work and for subsequent maintenance as may be required; undertake to plant and maintain suitable grasses or shrub- bery to control the sands on the dunes west of the bay; and agree to construct a suitable fish-receiving and shipping plant adjacent to the shore channel. It is expected that the requirements will be fully complied with before June 30, 1939. Terminal facilities.-There are 12 small fishing and pleasure wharves and landings, all privately owned. These are adequate for existing needs, but will not be adequate for the commerce that will result from the construction of the project facilities. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done on the project; the conditions are as described in the project document. There have been no costs or expenditures. Proposed operations.-No work is contemplated for the fiscal year 1939. The sum of $540,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for new work constructing all the project works (except the reconstruction of the jetties with concrete, which it is expected will be necessary after a few years) by contract, July to December 1939.

Location.-This stream rises in the Coast Range Mountains and flows westerly, emptying into the Pacific Ocean through Noyo Cove, about 135 miles northwest of San Francisco. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5703.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of September 22, 1922. The cost under this project was $11,985.28 (not including $7,179.86 contributed funds) for new work and $32,096.55 (not including $820.14 contributed funds) for maintenance, a total of $44,081.83. The expenditures were $44,081.83 from United States funds and $8,000 from contributed funds. Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel 10 feet deep and 100 feet wide and a channel in the river 10 feet deep and 150 feet wide extending to the highway bridge at Noyo, to be obtained by dredging and jetty construction. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.8 feet. The extreme range is about 11.5 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1930, was $180,000. The latest approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $10,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930 (S. Doc. No. 156, 71st Cong., 2d sess.). The latest pub- lished map is contained in this document. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are three wharves for unloading fish, three oil terminals for fueling fishing boats, and one boat-repair plant equipped with marine railway. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The channel at the mouth of the river and near the head of the project was redredged by hired labor and rented plant. The quantity removed was 13,790 cubic yards, all for maintenance. The cost was $11,433.13 and the expenditures were $11,377.67. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1931. At the end of the year the controlling depth in the channel was 5 feet through the entrance and to the head of the project. The cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $183,684.66 for new work and $36,564.58 for maintenance, a total of $220,249.24. The expenditures were $220,214.83. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended July 1, 1938, amounting to $25,000 will be applied to maintenance, dredging the entire project channel with rented plant and hired labor, Septem- ber to December 1938. The additional sum of $7,000 can be. profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for maintenance dredging in the channel at the mouth of Noyo River with rented plant and hired labor during April 1940.

HUMBOLDT HARBOR AND BAY, CALIF. Location.-Humboldt Bay is a small, land-locked harbor on the coast of California, 225 miles north of San Francisco Bay and 70 miles south of Crescent City Harbor. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5832.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1881, September 19, 1890, July 3, 1892, March 3, 1899, and March 2, 1907. The costs and expenditures on the original and modi- fied projects were $2,261,370.93 for new work and $98,205.75 for maintenance, a total of $2,359,576.68. For further details see pages 1982-1984 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1673 of Annual Report for 1929. Existing project.--This provides for two rubble-mound jetties at the entrance-the north jetty about 4,500 feet in length and the south jetty 5,100 feet long, not including shore revetments; for an entrance channel with suitable alinemlnent 30 feet deep and 500 feet wide; for a channel 26 feet deep and 400 feet wide from deep water 1690 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 in Humboldt Bay to the foot of N Street, Eureka; a channel 26 feet deep and 300 feet wide across Indian Island Shoal to Samoa; a channel 18 feet deep and 150 feet wide to Arcata wharf; and a channel 26 feet deep and 300 feet wide to Fields Landing, with a turning basin 600 feet wide and 800 feet long off the Fields Landing wharf. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 6.4 feet at the south jetty and 6.7 feet at Eureka. The extreme range is 12.5 feet at the south jetty and 12 feet at Eureka. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, is $2,793,000, of which $95,000 was contributed by local interests. This estimate is exclusive of the amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance dredging is $58,000. There is no approved estimate for maintenance of the jetties.

Local cooperation.-The act of August 26, 1937, requires that local interests furnish, free of cost to the United States, suitable spoil- disposal areas for new work in connection with the channels in the bay and for their subsequent maintenance. It is expected that these requirements will be complied with. All prior requirements have been fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are 37 wharves and 7 small-boat land- ings. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The U. S. hopper dredge San Pablo removed 80,229 cubic yards from the Fields Land- ing entrance channel for maintenance. The cost was $11,252.38 and the expenditures were $11,248.33. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 93 percent completed. The north jetty was completed in 1925, the south jetty in 1927, and the Arcata Channel in 1931. The entrance channel across the bar was dredged in 1935. The controlling depths in vari- ous channels in May 1938 were as follows: Channel and (controlling depth Channel across the bar, 21 feet, but a controlling depth of mnore than 30 feet is available in the southwesterly entrance channel. Entrance channel between the jetties, 31 feet for a width of 500 feet adjacent to the south jetty. Channel in front of Eureka, 19 feet for a channel width of 200 feet to within about 100 feet from the head of the project; thence about 13 feet at the head of the project. Samoa Channel, 19 feet. Arcata Channel (May 1937), 18 feet to the seaward end of the Arcata wharf; thence shoaling to about 13 feet at the head of the project. Fields Landing Channel, 19 feet. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1691 The work remaining to be done is that authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved August 26, 1937, providing for the en- largement of the Eureka, Samoa, and Fields Landing Channels and the construction of the turning basin off the Fields Landing wharf. The total cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $5,948,439.24 of which $2,554,856.89 was for new work ($2,- 459,856.89 from United States funds and $95,000 from contributed funds) and $3,393,582.35 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $5,948,429.24 ($5,853,429.24 from United States funds and $95,- 000 from contributed funds). Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended July 1, 1938, amounting to $238,015.39, will be applied to new work widening the Eureka, Samoa, and Fields Landing Channels and deepening them to 26 feet, and constructing the turning basin off Fields Landing wharf, by contract, September 1938 to March 1939. The sum of $200,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for maintenance, repairing the jetties at the entrance to the bay by Government plant and hired labor, July to October 1939.

Local cooperation.-Local interests are required to f'lrnish, free. of cost to the United States, suitable areas for the disposal of dredged material during initial construction and future maintenance, and necessary rights-of-way, and shall assume the maintenance of levees. All requirements for work done to date have been fulfilled. Terminal facilities.-There are a number of privately owned river freight warehouses along the river and in the delta region. Freight is handled on the bank, except at and below Antioch. where extensive wharves and warehouses exist. The city of Stockton port terminal has 3,400 linear feet of public wharves served by a public belt rail- road. All, except a 30-foot oil terminal pier and a 508-foot wharf, have transit sheds. In addition to privately operated grainll and lum- ber terminals, a cotton compress and warehouse, a bean cleaning plant, oil refinery, and bank of silos for cement storage, there are RIVER AND HARBORS--SACRAMENTO, CALIF., I)ISTRICT 1701 numerous publicly and privately owned shallow-draft wharves at Stockton. In New York slough there are 13 wharves, including 1 for deep-sea vessels. One wharf has a spur track and two have oil pipe lines. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year--Newu, work.-Clamshell dredging plant working under an hourly basis contract for its hire and operation raised a portion of the levee along the north side of Venice Island cut, placing 11,090 cubic yards at a cost of $4,554.34, the city of Stockton having advanced the sum of $8,000 for this work. Maintenance.-The Government pipe line dredge Sacramento, dur- ing three periods of work, excavated a total of 713,361 cubic yards in the 30-foot channel between Stockton and a point 4 miles down- stream, at a cost of $78,245.52, including pipe-line and spoil-area work. Maintenance of tide gages, miscellaneous surveys, inspections, and other maintenance work were done by hired labor at a cost of $6,607.84. Clamshell dredging plant working under an hourly basis contract as above, excavated 99,310 cubic yards from the main river, from 13 to 17 miles above Stockton Channel, at a cost of $8,207, and excavated 89,513 cubic yards from the following non-project tribu- taries as an aid to existing navigation, under section 3 of the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, at a cost of $7,914.98: Tom Paine slough, Salmon slough, Sugar Factory Canal, Pescadero cut, Crocker cut, Doughty cut, Grant Line Canal, and Old River. Total costs for the year were $105,529.68, of which $4,554.34 was for new work and $100,975.34 for maintenance. Condition at end of f lcal year.-Tlhe existing project is 81 percent complete, the work remaining to be done being the dredging of a 9-foot channel in Mormon Channel to Center Street, Stockton, and the new items of the revised (1937) project, including widening of 30-foot channel to Stockton; construction of two settling basins; completion of restoration of levee on north side of Venice Island cut; and setting back of levees where needed. The controlling depth from Suisun Bay to Mormon Channel, 41 miles, is 30 feet; thence to Edison Street, three-quarters of a mile, 26 feet; and thence to head at El Dorado Street, one-half mile, 9 feet. A 4-foot depth is available in Mormon Channel and 9 feet in Fremont Channel and McLeod Lake. The river, from its junction with Stockton Channel to Hills Ferry, usually has a controlling depth of 412 feet from April to June, inclu- sive.

STOCKTON AND MORMON CHANNELS (DIVERTING CANAL), CALIF. Location..-This is an artificial cut located about 2 miles northeast of Stockton. (See IT. S. Geological Survey Sheet, Stockton Quad- rangle.) Existing p roject.-This provides for diverting the waters of Mor- mon Slough before reaching Mormon and Stockton Channels by means of a dam in the slough 3 miles east of Stockton, and a canal 150 feet wide, with average cut of 7.9 feet, thence to the north branch of the Calaveras River, 4.63 miles; by the enlargement of the cross section of this branch to 1,550 square feet, thence to its mouth at the San Joaquin River, 5 miles; and by the constrllction of a levee along RIVER AND HARBORS--SACRAMENTO, CALIF., IDISTRICT 1705 the west side of the canal and the south side of the north branch of the Calaveras River from the material excavated. The height of the levee is limited by necessary railway and highway crossings to about 3 feet above the contemplated flood surface. The canal is empty during the greater part of the year, but at times of extreme flood there is a depth of about 12 feet, and at ordinary flood a depth of about 10 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1906, was $280,395. The latest (1918) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $5,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902 (H. Doc. No. 152, 55th Cong., 3d sess., and Annual Report for 1899, p. 3188). The latest published map is in House Document No. 256, Sixty-third Congress, first session. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-See report on San Joaquin River, Calif. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Hired labor cleared the channel of brush, snags, and other obstructions at a cost of $1,317.95. Surveys and inspections cost $607.26. Total costs were $1,925.21 for maintenance; total expenditures, $1,968.54. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was conm- pleted in 1910 at a saving of $27,244 under the estimated cost. Most of the silt formerly deposited in Stockton and Mormon Channels is diverted therefrom by this canal, thereby obviating serious incon- veniences to navigation and the expensive annual dredging. The total cost was $347,762.48, of which $253,151.03 was for new work and $94,611.45 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $347,744.01. Proposed operations.- The balance unexpended July 1, 1938, amounting to $2,446.87 will be applied as follows: Accounts payable_ ___.-- $18.47 Maintenance : Removal of brush. overhanging trees, and other ob- structions from the channel and banks of both sec- tions of the diverting canal, by hired labor and Government plant, July to September 1938_ --. _ $1, 200. 00 Dredging deposits of silt from the Calaveras section of the diverting canal, by contract, December 1938__ 1, 228. 40 Total for maintenance _-- 2, 428. 40 Total application of funds -- 2, 446. 87 The additional sum of $5,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for maintenance in removal of brush, overhanging trees, and other obstructions from the channel and banks of both sections of the diverting canal, by hired labor and Government plant, in September to October 1939.

MOKELUMNE RIVER, CALIF. Location.-This river rises near the crest of the Sierra Nevada and empties into the San Joaquin River 20 miles above the mouth of the latter. (See U. S. Geological Survey "Topographic Map of the Sacramento Valley, Calif.") Existing project.--This provides for the removal of snags and obstructions and occasional dredging of shoals from the mouth of the river to Galt-New Hope Bridge, a distance of 35 miles, including both forks. The mean lower low water depths considered, sufficient for needs of navigation are as follows: Mokelumne River Location of section going upstream Depth Length Feet .Miles I\outh of river to lower junction North and South Forks - -_ - 9 4 Lower junction North and South Forks to Snodgrass Slough via North Fork..... 9 8 Snodgrass Slough to upper junction North and South Forks via North Fork.------ 6 1 Lower junction North and South Forks to upper junction of same at New Hope Land- ing via South Fork ___ . . . ---- ----.......... _ . . -.. ...------------- 9 14 New Hope Landing to Galt-New Hope Bridge_----- -- - - -- -- 3 8 At low-river stages the range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at the mouth is 4 feet, with extreme tidal range of 5 feet; there is no tide at the upper end, just above Galt- New Hope Bridge. Ordinarily flood fluctuation is 5.5 feet at the mouth and 12 feet at the upper end. Extreme flood fluctuation is 8 feet at the mouth and 17 feet at the upper end. RIVER AND HARBORS---SA('RAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1707 The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1881, was $8,250. The latest (1930) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 5, 1884 (Annual Report for 1882, p. 2637). For latest published map see House Document No. 1160, Sixty-third Congress, second session. Terminal facilities.-The Western Pacific Railroad has warehouses at Terminous, on Potato slough; otherwise commodities are handled on small wharves or landings or on the banks at various points. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. An expenditure of $191.89 was made for obligations of the previous fiscal year. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1885. Controlling depths are as shown in the table under "Existing project," except in the first section, where 11 feet is the con- trolling depth, and in the third section, where 3 feet is the controlling depth. The channel is reasonably free of obstructions to the head of navigation, except for a few that usually develop at low-water stages in the fall. Total costs and expenditures were $72,579.64, of which $8,500 was for new work and $64,079.64 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended July 1, 1938, amounting to $2,057.68, will be applied to maintenance, as follows: Dredging sand bars and shoals by contract, from mouth to New Hope Landing, July or August 1938_-------- -- -------- $1,200. 00 Removing snags, overhanging trees and other obstructions, by hired labor and Government plant, September 1938------------------ 857. 68 Total for maintenance------------------------------------- 2, 057. 68 The additional sum of $2,000 can be profitably expended for main- tenance during the fiscal year 1940, for removing snags, overhanging trees and other obstructions, by hired labor and Government plant.

SACRAMENTO RIVER, CALIF. Location.-This river is formed by numerous streams draining the Trinity and Warner Mountains in northern California and empties into Suisun Bay at Collinsville. (See U. S. Geological Survey topo- graphic map of the Sacramento Valley, Calif.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1875, August 2, 1882, December 21, 1889, July 13, 1892, and August 18, 1894. The cost and expenditures thereunder prior to commencement of operations under the existing project in 1899 were $738,918.14, of which $185,198.19 is estimated as for new work and $553,719.95 for maintenance. For further details see page 1985, Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 10 feet deep at mean lower low water and 150 to 200 feet wide from the mouth of the river to Sacramento, 59 miles; thence 6 feet deep at low water to Colusa, 85 miles; thence 5 feet deep at low water to Chico Landing, 49 miles; and such depths as practicable thence to Red Bluff, 53 miles. Below Sacramento the results are to be obtained by means of wing dams, supplemented by dredging. Above Sacramento the re- sults are to be obtained by removal of snags and concentration of the channel by temporary works, and stream-flow regulation by the Shasta Reservoir upon its completion.

For map of the section below Sacramento, see H. Doc. No. 1123, 60th Cong., 2d sess. Recommended modifications of project.-In House Document No. 1893, Sixty-fourth Congress, second session, it was recommended that Chico Landing, 52.4 miles downstream from Red Bluff, be made the head of the improvement. Terminal facilities.-At Sacramento there are 4,810 linear feet of wharves, of which 1,850 linear feet are owned by the city and 420 linear feet are open to general public use. There are 245,700 square feet of warehouse space, of which 103,700 square feet are owned by the city and 21,000 square feet are open to general public use. On the west bank, opposite Sacramento, are four wharves of a total length of 350 feet, with 108,560 square feet of warehouse space, all privately owned and used. Between Sacramento and Chico Land- ing there are 47 warehouses and numerous small landings. Freight is also handled on the bank. Between Sacramento and the mouth of the river there are, in addition to 1,440'linear feet of wharf with warehouse facilities at Rio Vista, 19 large wharves, about 38 large warehouses, and many small warehouses and landings, all owned and operated by private interests. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Above Sacramento: Government plant and hired labor removed 1,883 snags and other obstructions from the river channel and banks, at a cost of $7,860.46; repaired wing dams, at a cost of $7,567.76; and made general and miscellaneous surveys at a cost of $1,426.39. At and below Sacra- mento: The Government pipe line dredge San Joaquin and hired labor removed 484,311 cubic yards from the river at and 7 miles below Sacramento, at a cost of $59,570.18, including preparation of spoil areas, and pipe-line work, for the 1937 and 1938 dredging; and repaired wing dams at a cost of $13,258.05. Clamshell dredging plant, working under an hourly basis contract, for its hire and opera- tion, removed 92,495 cubic yards from the river and Steamboat Slough channels, at a cost of $16,239.77, and also removed 5,625 cubic yards at a cost of $996 from Collinsville Cut, a non-project tributary. General and miscellaneous surveys of the river cost $5,959.44. The total cost was $112,878.05, for maintenance; total expenditures, $123,635.67. 1710 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The 10-foot channel below Sacra- mento was completed in 1931. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the provision of a 6-foot depth between Sacra- mento and Colusa and 5-foot depth thence to Chico Landing, pro- viding a continuous river flow of 5,000 second-feet is made available upon completion of the Shasta Reservoir. The controlling low- water depths in September 1937 were as follows: From the mouth of the river to the mouth of Cache Slough, 20 feet; thence to Sacra- mento, 10 feet; thence to Colusa, 21/2 feet; and thence to Sidds Land- ing, 2 feet. There is no regular navigation above Sidds Landing, 177 miles above the mouth. No maintenance work has been done above this point since 1921. The total cost was $3,294,061.65, of which $196,616.74 was for new work and $3,097,444.91 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $3,308,835.82.

FEATHER RIVER, CALIF. Location.-This river rises in the Sierra Nevada, and empties into the Sacramento River about 21 miles above the city of Sacramento. (See U. S. Geological Survey sheet "Topographic Map of the Sacra- mento Valley, Calif.") Previous projects.-Adopted by River and HIarbor Act of July 27, 1916, without previously published report. Cost and expenditures prior to the adoption of the existing project were $6,169.46, of which $6,159.90 was from contributed funds and $9.56 from United States funds. (For further details see p. 1985, Annual Report for 1915.) 1712 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 Existing project.-This provides for improvement of the river from its mouth to Marysville by providing for a channel of such depths as may be practicable at an average annual cost not in excess of $10,000, and that no local cooperation be required in addition to the contribution already made by local interests in accordance with the requirement of River and Harbor Act of July 27, 1916. The latest (1931) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance is $1,500. Ordinary flood fluctuation is 20 feet and extreme flood fluctuation is about 25 feet. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved January 21, 1927 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 1, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There. are several small landings, all pri- vately owned. All other traffic is handled on the bank. These facil- ities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-This project is one of maintenance. The controlling depth from the mouth at Vernon up to Marysville is usually 3 feet from about February 15 to June 15. The channel and banks have been cleared of the worst obstructions and any possible navigation thereby facilitated. The work remaining to be done is the removal of obstructions and construction of wing dams as needed. The cost and expenditures for all work under this project were $7,819.05 for maintenance, of which $3,978.95 were United States funds and $3,840.10 contributed funds. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no operations are proposed for the fiscal year 1939. The additional sum of $1,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for maintenance in removing obstructions from the channel and banks by snagging, wingdam work, and dredging, by hired labor and Government plant.

RIVER AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1713 6. MIDDLE RiVEI AND CONNECTING CHANNELS, CALIF. Location.- These waterways are part of a complicated network of tidal channels, some natural and some artificial, in the delta of the San Joaquin River. Middle River, one of the principal channels, is a bychannel of the San Joaquin, leaving Old River, another by- channel above the city of Stockton and rejoining the main river about 15 miles below Stockton. Whiskey Slough enters the San Joaquin 6 miles 'upstream from Middle River and is connected by Empire Cut, an artificial: waterway, with Latham Slough and Middle River. Turner Cut is an artificial cut-off at the mouth of Whiskey Slough. (See U. S. Geological Survey, California quadrangles Bouldin, Wood- ward Island, Holt, Union Island, Stockton, and Lathrop.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930. The total cost and expenditures to the United States were $2,390.23, of which $1,600 was for new work and $790.23 for mainte- nance. For further details see page 1290 of Annual Report for 1934. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 9 feet deep and 100 feet wide in Middle River below Borden Highway Bridge; in Latham Slough between Middle River and Empire Cut; and in Empire Cut, Whiskey Slough, and Turner Cut between Middle River and San Jgoaquin River. The mean range of tide is about 3 feet during stages of extreme low water. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1935, was $6,500, ex- e(lusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $1,500. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 48, 72d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project docu- ment. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are no extensive terminal facilities on these waterways, other than bank landings along the channels, which are considered adequate. There is one large wharf with warehouse at Middle River Station, with rail connection. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1937. The controlling depth is the project depth of 9 feet at mean lower low water in all of the channels. The total costs and expenditures are $7,645.52, of which $6,754.22 was for new work and $891.30 for maintenance. Proposed operations.--No funds are available and no operations are proposed for the fiscal year 1939. The additional sum of $1,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for maintenance, in redredging channels 9 feet deep by 100 feet wide in Middle River below Borden Highway Bridge, in Empire Cut, Latham Slough, Whiskey Slough, and Turner Cut, )by clamshell dredges under contract, in August or September 1939.

SUISUN CHANNEL, CALIF. Location.-Suisun Channel is the project chalnel in Suisun Slough, a tidal inlet with its mouth on the northwest side of Suisun Bay, about 7 miles northeast of Benicia and 36 miles northeast of San Francisco. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5534.) Existing project.-This provides for dredging a channel 8 feet deep at mean lower low water from Suisun Bay to and in the basin at the town of Suisun, straightened by four cut-offs in the upper por- tion; channel widths to be 200 feet in the bar channel, 100 feet in the cut-offs, and a minimum of 125 feet in the remaining parts of the project channel; widening four bends located 5, 51/2, 71, and 121/ miles below Suisun; the removal of ledge rock from the channel at a location about 2 miles below Suisun; and a 1,400- by 150-foot basin at Suisun, with an extension 275 feet wide and 600 feet long. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high. water is 6.4 feet, with an extreme range of 10 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, is $164,500. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $4,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 25, 1910 To secure a channel up to Suisun, 6 feet deep at low water H. Doc. No. 1110, 60th. by dredging and making a cut-off just below the town. Cong., 2d sess.

No. 97, 74th removal of ledge rock and extension of the basin at Suisun. Cong., 2d sess. (Contains- latest published map.) Local cooperation.-Local interests are required to furnish free of cost to the United States all necessary rights-of-way and suitable spoil-disposal areas for new work and subsequent maintenance, under- take any necessary reconstruction of the power line crossing over the: RIVER AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1717 proposed cut-off near Suisun, and provide at Suisun adequate public terminal facilities subject to the approval of the Chief of Engineers. These requirements have not been fulfilled. It is anticipated that the required local cooperation will be met at the time funds become available to prosecute the work. 'erminal facilities.-There are three wharves in the city of Suisun, with a total of 600 feet of berthing space. There is also warehouse space of 33,500 square feet, and an oil-storage terminal. These facil- ities should be increased in accordance with the provisions in the project document last noted above under "Existing project." Operations and results during fiscal year.--None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 14 percent completed. The work remaining to be done is to provide a channel with depth of 8 feet at mean lower low water, with the authorized project widths from Suisun Bay to and in the basin at the city of Suisun, including straightening by four cut-offs and widening at four bends; the removal of ledge rock in the channel, 2 miles below Suisun; and the extension of the existing harbor basin at Suisun with a width of 275 feet and length of 600 feet, all in accordance with the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937. The controlling depth is 8 feet in the channel and harbor basin. The cost and ex- penditures under the existing project were $22,984.77 for new work and $31,922.64 for maintenance; total, $54,907.41. Proposed operations.-An allotment of $139,500 made during July, 1938, will be applied to new work during the fiscal year 1939, as follows: Dredging 8-foot channel to project widths, from Suisun Bay to and in the harbor basin at Suisun, including four cut-offs, widen- ing of four bends, and extension of harbor basin, by pipe line dredge under contract, August to December 1938--------------$138, 000. 00 Removal of ledge rock from channel at a point 2 miles below Suisun, by contract, August or September 1938----------____ 1, 500. 00 Total----------------------------------------------- 139, 500. 00 The additional sum of $4,000 can be profitably expended for main- tenance during the fiscal year 1940 in dredging channels in Suisun Channel to restore project dimensions from its mouth in Suisun Bay to and in the harbor basin at Suisun, by contract, September or October 1939.

OLD RIVER, CALIF. Location.-Old River is the most westerly branch of the intercon- necting tidal channels into which the San Joaquin River divides in crossing its delta. It leaves the main river 21/2 miles downstream from the Mossdale State Highway Bridge, or 131/2 miles above the mouth of Stockton Channel, and flows westerly and northerly 32 miles to its lower confluence with the main river, 23 miles above its mouth in Suisun Bay. Existing project.-This provides for the easing of three sharp bends in Old River between its mouth and Orwood (Santa Fe) Bridge; a channel 10 feet deep and 80 feet wide to the Santa Fe wharves and Phillips cannery at Orwood Station; entrances 8 feet deep and 80 feet wide to the Fabian-Bell Canal at its westerly end and just west of the Grant Line Highway Bridge; enlargement of Grant Line Canal west of Doughty Cut to a depth of 10 feet and width of 100 feet; a channel 10 feet deep and 80 feet wide with suit- able alinement from the westerly end of Doughty Cut to the Holly sugar factory; a channel 8 feet deep and 80 feet wide from the southerly end of Doughty Cut to the head of Old River; and a channel 6 feet deep and 80 feet wide in the original channel of Old River from the westerly end of Grant Line Canal to the Lammers Ferry Road. All depths are referred to mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at the head of Old River is about 2 feet; and at its mouth about 4 feet; ordinary flood fluctuations are, respectively, 15 feet and 51/2 feet; extreme flood fluctuations are, respectively, 19 feet and 8 feet. The estimate of cost for new work made in 1937 is $72,000. The latest (1937) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $15,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. No. 151, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). This docu- ment contains the latest published map. Local cooperation.--Local interests are required to furnish without cost to the United States all necessary rights-of-way and suitable spoil-disposal areas for new work and for subsequent maintenance as necessary, and to agree to provide public landings satisfactory to the Chief of Engineers on each side of the proposed channel in Old River near Lammers Ferry Road and on the Fabian-Bell Canal west of Grant Line Bridge. These requirements have not been fulfilled. It is anticipated that the required local cooperation will be met at the time funds become available to prosecute the work. Terminal facilities.-The Santa Fe Railroad has a warehouse and wharf at Orwood for transfer of farm produce from boat to rail. The Phillips' cannery at Orwood has similar facilities. The Holly Sugar Co. refinery and terminal near Tracy has a large wharf and an RIVER AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1719 unloading basin with three mechanical unloading and conveying units connecting with a warehouse; there is also a passing basin one-half mile downstream. There are about 90 private bank landings along the project channels, some having sheds for storage. Public land- ings should be provided as set forth above under "Local coopera- tion." Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done on the existing project. The two heads of navigation are at the head of Old River in San Joaquin River, and at the Holly sugar-factory wharf, 2 miles north of Tracy. The controlling depths at mean lower low water at the end of the fiscal year are as follows: Between the mouth of Old River and Grant Line Canal, 9 feet; in Grant Line Canal, 8 feet; above Grant Line Canal (a), 7 feet to the head of Old River in San Joaquin River; and (b), 4 feet to the Holly sugar-factory (project depths in the latter section are to be restored by dredging, in July 1938). Flood stages are of little value to navigation, as the greater part of the commerce is carried on at low-water stages. There have been no costs nor expenditures. Proposed operations.--The balance unexpended July 1, 1938, amounting to $72,000, will be applied to new work dredging in channels in Old River, Fabian-Bell Canal, Grant Line Canal, and various cuts and channels in or connecting with Old River, by clam- shell dredging plant under contract, July to October 1938 (including removal of obstructions). The additional sum of $15,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for maintenance dredging in above channels, in September and October 1939.

SNAGGING AND CLEARING UNDER AUTHORITY OF SECTION 2 OF THE FLOOD CONTROL ACT APPROVED AUGUST 28, 1937 The Flood Control Act approved August 28, 1937, authorized the expenditure of not to exceed $300,000 per year from flood-control ap- propriations in removing accumulated snags and other debris and clearing of channels in navigable streams and tributaries thereof when such work is advisable in the interest of flood control; provided the annual expenditure on any single stream shall not exceed $25,000 in any one year. Allotments were received during the fiscal year 1938 for removal of snags and other debris from the channels of various creeks in the Sacramento district, and inspections of the conditions were made, as follows : Butte County.-Chico, Pine, and Rock Creeks. Merced County.-Various creeks in the vicinity of, and easterly from, the town of Merced. Shasta County.-Battle, Cottonwood and Cow Creeks. Tehama County.-Antelope, Deer, Mill, Paynes, Thomes, and Toomes Creeks. Yolo County.-Cache Creek. The following work was done: On Battle Creek, 674 snags were removed from the channel and work was completed. On Paynes Creek, 1,229 snags and trees were removed from the channel, and work was completed. On Deer Creek, 3,079 snags were removed; on Mill Creek, 3,309 snags were removed, and work was completed; and on Antelope Creek, 1,784 snags were removed. Total cost was $13,059.91, and total expenditures were $11,410.26. The balance un- expended July 1, 1938, amounting to $25,589.74, will be applied dur- ing the fiscal year 1939 to payment of expenses incurred under this heading.

Location.-This river rises in the Coast Range, flows in a general westerly direction for about 100 miles, and empties into the Pacific Ocean at Bandon, Oreg., 225 miles south of the mouth of the Columbia River and 420 miles north of San Francisco Bay. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5802 and 5971.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of June 14, 1880, and July 13, 1892. The cost and expenditures were, for new work, $340,725.58, and for maintenance, $41,467.17, a total of $382,192.75. For further details see page 1986 of the Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for two rubble-mound high-tide jetties at the river mouth, the south jetty 2,700 feet long and the north 3,450 feet; and for a channel, 13 feet deep at mean lower low water, between the sea and the eastern end of the north jetty. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at the river mouth is 6.8 feet and the extreme range about 10 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1930, was $275,600, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $20,000 for dredging. There is no approved estimate for maintenance of jetties.

ARMY, 1938 The jetties were completed in 1908, and the entrance channel was dredged to 12 and 13 feet in November 1925. The outer 300 feet of the north jetty and the outer 200 feet of the south jetty enrock- ments have subsided below the ordinary low-water level. The crest of the remaining portions of the enrockments is above low water. A survey of the entrance in April 1938 shows a controlling depth of 121/2 feet across the ocean bar and 12 feet between the bar and Bandon, in a channel about 200 feet wide. The total cost of the work under the existing project was $437,- 011.09, of which $316,640.21 was for new work and $120,370.88 for maintenance. The total expenditures have been $437,011.09. In addition, $72,891.20 was expended from contributed funds for new work. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1938, amounting to $20,000 will be applied to maintenance dredging at mouth of the river, with Government plant and hired labor, during July and August 1938. The sum of $20,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for maintenance dredging at mouth of the river, with Government plant and hired labor, during August 1939.

Local cooperation.-Under the provisions of the River and Har- bor Act of August 30, 1935, local interests are required to furnish, free of cost to the United States, suitable areas for the disposal of dredged material during initial construction, and future maintenance as and when needed, and save the United States free of any claims for damages on account of dredging operations. These conditions are being complied with. Terminal facilities.-At North Bend there is a municipal wharf 384 feet long fronting on the channel and about 1,400 feet of pri- vately owned mill wharves. At Marshfield there is a broken line of privately owned wharves about 4,500 feet in length, and one public wharf with a frontage of about 1,006 feet. About 1 mile above Marshfield there is a sawmill wharf about 1,000 feet in length. The existing terminals are considered adequate for the needs of the present commerce. Operation and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging of the bar and bay channel, by U. S. dredges Col. P. S. Michie and Pacific, was done during July to September 1937 and February to 1730 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 June 1938. The dredges removed 1,192,208 cubic yards from the bar and 1,102,830 cubic yards from the bay channel. The cost during the year under the existing project was $155,019.65 for maintenance. Expenditures were $168,300.41. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1937. The south jetty was completed in 1928, its length being 4,576 feet, and the north jetty in 1929, its length being 7,616 feet. The other features of the existing project prior to the work authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, were completed in 1932. At the close of the fiscal year the controlling depth in an entrance bar channel 300 feet wide was 28 feet, and 26 feet between the jetties to Guano Rock. The controlling depth be- tween the entrance and the head of the bay at Marshfield was 22 feet in a channel 250 feet wide. The total cost of the work under the existing project was $7,065,- 013.25, of which $4,120,763.51 was for new work and $2,944,249.74 for maintenance, not including $2,713.14 for new work and $8,386,.86 for maintenance from contributed funds. The total expenditures have been $7,064,011.10, of which $7,052,911.10 were United States funds and $11,100 contributed funds.

COOS RIVER, OREG. Location.-This river rises in the Coast Range in southern Oregon, flows about 60 miles in a westerly direction, and empties into Coos Bay near Marshfield, Oreg. (See U. S. Geological Survey, Coos Bay quadrangle.) Existing project.-This provides for snagging and boulder removal in a channel width of 50 feet from the mouth of the river to the head of navigation in both forks, to provide a depth of 3 feet generally and 1 foot near the heads of navigation. The section under improve- ment includes the mouth and 51/2 miles of the main river and about 81/2 miles of each fork. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The mean of the higher high waters above the plane of reference and the extreme tidal ranges under ordinary conditions at the mouth of the river are 7.3 and 11 feet, respectively, and there is a tidal range of about 1 foot at the head of navigation in the forks. Freshet stages usually reach a height of from 10 to 15 feet at Allegany, head of navigation on the North Fork. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1898, was $8,000. The latest (1923) . approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $3,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 3, 1896 (H. Doc. No. 237, 53d Cong., 3d sess.). The latest pub- lished map is in this document. Terminal facilities.-There are several small privately owned wharves and landing places on the river that are used by small steam- ers and launches. There are no publicly owned wharves. The exist- ing terminal facilities are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project was completed in 1899. The controlling depth is about 4 feet, with a zero gage read- ing, in a channel about 50 feet wide from the mouth to the head of navigation on both forks, a distance of about 23 miles. 101110-pt. 1-vol. 2-38------46 1732 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

UMPQUA RIVER, OREG. Location.-This river rises in the Cascade Range, flows westerly about 120 miles, and empties into the Pacific Ocean 180 miles south of the mouth of the Columbia River and 465 miles north of San Francisco Bay. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5802 and 6004.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871, and modified in 1886. The total cost and expenditures were $39,242.29 for new work. (For further details, see p. 2967 of Annual Report for 1898.) Existing project.-This provides for a jetty on the north side of the entrance approximately 8,000 feet in length westerly from the high-water line to the sea, for a south jetty extending to a point 1,800 feet south of the outer end of the present north jetty; for dredging to provide a usable entrance channel 26 feet deep, and a river channel 22 feet deep and 200 feet wide, friom the mouth to Reedsport, a distance of about 11 miles, with a turning basin at Reedsport 1,000 feet long, 600 feet wide, and 22 feet deep. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The tidal range between mean lower low water and higher high water at the river mouth is 6.9 feet, and the extreme range is about 11 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1938, is $2,449,500, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects and of $276,500 coltributed by local interests. The latest (1938) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $185,000, including jetty mainte- nance.

Local cooperation.-Underthe provisions of the River and Harbor Act of June 20, 1938, local interests are required to furnish free of cost to the United States necessary rights-of-way and suitable spoil disposal areas for new work and subsequent maintenance. Prior requirements fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-At Gardiner there is approximately 250 feet of wharf frontage, of which 60 feet is publicly owned. At Reedsport there is about 750 feet of usable wharf frontage, all privately owned. The port of Umpqua owns one wharf with 456 feet of water front- age and another with about 75 feet of water frontage which has not been used generally for commercial shipping. The existing terminals are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Work under continuing contract for repair and extension of the south jetty was continued throughout the year. A total of 318,873.43 tons of stone were de- livered and placed at a cost of $610,957.05, of which 315,868.39 tons, costing $605,507.85, was for new work, and 3,005.04 tons, costing $5,- 449.20, was for maintenance. Dredging was done on the entrance bar during the month of June by the U. S. dredge Pacific. The total cost for the fiscal year was $618,052.71, of which $605,- 507.85 was for new work and $12,544.86 for maintenance. Expendi- tures were $587,785.41. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 81 percent completed. The north jetty was completed in 1930. The short south jetty was completed in November 1933. There remains to complete the project extension of the south jetty to a point about 1,800 feet south of the outer end of the present north jetty and main- tenance dredging to 26-foot depth, authorized by the 1935 River and Harbor Act, and the dredging of a 22-foot channel from the mouth of the river to Reedsport together with a turning basin at Reedsport, authorized by the 1938 River and Harbor Act. The sea end of the north jetty for about 500 feet has been beaten down by the seas to such extent that it is submerged at high tide. Soundings taken on the bar in May 1938 show a controlling depth of 141/2 feet over a width of about 300 feet, following the channel range. A depth of 16 feet is available on a line leading south of the range. The channel from the entrance to Reedsport was dredged to a depth of 16 feet in 1924 by the port of Umpqua but has shoaled to about 11 feet. No maintenance work has been done in the river channel. 1734 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

YAQUINA RIVER, OREG. Location.-This river rises on the Coast Range, flows about 50 miles in a westerly direction, and empties into Yaquina Bay, on the Oregon coast. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 6058 and 5802.) Existing project.-This provides for two controlling half-tide dikes of piling, brush, and stone, each about 1,100 feet long (con- structed by local interests) and for a channel 10 feet deep and gen- erally 150 feet wide in Yaquina River and 200 feet wide in Depot slough, extending from the town of Yaquina to Toledo, about 9 miles. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The mean of the higher high waters above the plane of reference and the extreme tidal ranges under ordinary conditions at the mouth of the river are 8.1 feet and about 12 feet, and the same at Toledo. Freshet heights are about 12 feet at the mouth of Depot slough. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1911, was $72,000, including $43,200 contributed by local interests. The latest (1911) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,500. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 4, 1913 (H. Doc. No. 519, 62d Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is in that document. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-At Yaquina, at the mouth of the river, which is also the head of the bay, there is a small wharf of about 50 feet frontage owned by the Southern Pacific Co., whose branch line termi- nates there. The port of Toledo has a public wharf in Depot slough, at Toledo, with frontage of about 600 feet. The city of Toledo also has a public wharf of about 50 feet frontage on Depot slough built to accommodate small motorboats. There are also at Toledo two privately owned slips having special facilities for transferring lum- ber to lighters. The existing terminals are considered adequate for present commerce. 1736 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1914. The controlling depth between the mouth of the river and Toledo is about 81/2 feet at mean lower low water in a channel 100 feet wide. The controlling depth is adequate for existing navigation, which consists mostly of barges used for lightering lumber from Toledo to ocean vessels at Newport on Yaquina Bay. In Depot slough the depth is about 9 feet, except for a short dis- tance at extreme upper end of the project channel, where the depth is about 7 feet. Above Toledo to the head of navigation the con- trolling depth is about 2 feet in a channel 100 feet wide at mean lower low water. The total cost of the work under the existing project was $70,699.41, of which $28,800 was for new work and $41,899.41 for maintenance, not including $43,200 for new work and $3,000 for maintenance from contributed funds. The total expenditures have been $116,899.41, of which $70,699.41 were United States funds and $46,200 contributed funds. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated for the fiscal year 1939. The sum of $15,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for maintenance dredging, by contract, September and October 1939.

YAQUINA BAY AND HARBOR, OREG. Location.-This bay is located on the Oregon coast, 115 miles south of the mouth of the Columbia River. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5802 and 6058.) Previous projects.-The River and Harbor Act of June 14, 1880, provided for the improvement of the entrance. Subsequent projects were adopted by River and Harbor Acts of June 3, 1896, June 6, 1900, and March 3, 1905. The total cost and expenditure was $713,338.96, of which $707,313.45 was for new work and $6,025.51 for mainte- RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1737 nance. For further details see the Annual Report for 1893, part 4, page 3314, and House Document No. 68, Fifty-fourth Congress, first session. Existing project.-This provides for two high-tide, rubble-mound jetties at the entrance, 1,000 feet apart at their outer ends; the north jetty to be 4,700 feet in length and the south jetty to be 5,800 feet in length; for a spur jetty on the channel side of the south jetty 4,700 feet from its sea end, 800 feet in length, to deepen the channel across the inner bar between the jetties; for five groins channelward from the south jetty; for the removal of subaqueous rock from the reef between the jetties, to secure a depth of 20 feet at mean lower low water in the entrance; and for a channel 200 feet wide and 18 feet deep from the entrance to the railroad terminus at Yaquina, a dis- tance of about 41/2 miles. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The mean of the higher high waters above the plane of reference and the extreme tidal ranges at the entrance and at the head of the bay are 8.1 feet and .12 feet, respectively. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, is $2,018,400 exclusive of the amount expended on previous projects. The latest (1919) approved estimate for cost of maintenance is $5,000 every 2 years to maintain 18 feet in the bay channel. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $30,000 for dredging in the entrance. The latest (1937) approved estimate of cost for maintenance of the north jetty is $12,000 annually to be applied at intervals of several years. There is no approved estimate for maintenance of the south jetty. ,The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents and reports June 14, 1830 For improvement of the entrance _ Annual Report, 1881, p. 2589.

Terminal facilities.-Newport has about 750 feet of wharf front- age, of which about 450 feet is publicly owned. At Yaquina (the terminus of the Southern Pacific Co.'s branch rail line) the railroad maintains a wharf with a frontage of about 50 feet. There are no publicly owned terminals at Yaquina. The existing terminals are adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The only operations were hydrographic surveys, on which the costs and expenditures were $996. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 62 percent completed. Restoration of the present jetties was completed in 1934, and since restoration the enrockment of both jetties has remained in 1738 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 good condition. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the extension of the north jetty authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937. A survey of the entrance in May 1938 shows an entrance bar depth of 16 feet on channel range, with greater depths to the south. Between the jetties, but south of the range, the channel depth is 20 feet. In the channel to Yaquina the controlling depth is 17 feet. The total cost of the work under the existing project was $1,489,- 965.65, of which $823,992.83 was for new work and $665,972.82 for maintenance, not including $729,168.48 for new work from con- tributed funds. The total expenditures have been $2,219,134.13 of which $1,489,965.65 were United States funds and $729,168.48 con- tributed funds. Proposed operations.--The funds unexpended June 30, 1938, amounting to $20,031.53, together with an allotment of $300,000 made during July 1938, will be applied as follows: New work: Extending north jetty 1,000 feet seaward, by continuing contract, 215,000 tons of stone at $2.46 per ton_---------------- $300, 000.00 Maintenance: Dredging on bar and in bay channel, with Govern- ment plant and hired labor, July to September 1938------------- 20, 031. 53 Total---------- ----------------------------------------- 320, 031. 53 The additional sum of $260,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940, as follows: New work: Completion of continuing contract for extension of north jetty_------------------------------------------ $230,000 Maintenance: Dredging on bar and in bay channel, August and Sep- tember 1939------------------------------------- --------------- 30, 000 Total--------- --------------------------------------------- 260, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1938------___________________ 1$1, 531, 306. 28 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1938_ - -__ -___ - 671, 998. 33 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1938 ---------- 2, 203, 304. 61 Net total expenditures___________________-_____ 12, 203, 304. 61 Unexpended balance June 30, 1938---------------------------- 20,031. 53 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1938 ----- 2, 223, 336.14 Fiscal year ending June 30 1934 1935 1936 1937 1938 Cost of new work-----------..------------------------------------------ Cost of maintcnance .- . .-- $351, 928. 32 $6, 918. 32 $2, 283.19 $10, 279. 36 $996. 00 Total expended .........-----...... 394,119. 46 6, 886. 91 676. 20 11, 886. 35 996. 00 Allotted ...--------------------- -3, 307. 11 -46, 245. 11 51, 170. 74 -38, 859.32 19, 760. 00 Balance unexpended July 1, 1937____ $1, 267. 53 Amount allotted from War Department Civil Appro- priation Act approved July 19, 1917 _ $50, 000 Amount allotted from War Department Civil Appro- priation Act approved June 11, 1938 ._____ _____ _ _ 20, 000 70, 000. 00 Amount to be accounted for--, ________---- ---- -- 71, 267. 53 1 In addition $729,167.48 was expended from contributed funds.

DE POE BAY, OREG. Location.-This bay is located on the Oregon coast, 100 miles south of the mouth of the Columbia' River. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5902). Existing project.-This provides for a basin 375 feet long, 125 feet wide, and 5 feet deep within the bay, with entrance channel of the same depth and 30 feet in width. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The mean of the higher high water and the extreme rise at the en- trance above the plane of reference are about 7.8 feet and 11.5 feet, respectively. The estimate of cost for new work made in 1937 is $31,000. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $500. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. No. 202, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in this document. Local cooperation.-Conditionsof local cooperation, requiring local interests to provide rights-of-way and suitable spoil-disposal areas for new work and for subsequent maintenance, and to construct a public terminal, remain to be complied with. Terminal facilities.-Terminal facilities consist of two small land- ings just inside the entrance, privately owned and used by the op- erators of excursion and fishing boats. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.--No work has been done on the project. A survey made in August 1936 shows a controlling en- trance depth of 2 feet and, over a small area within the bay, depths ranging from zero to 5 feet. Proposed operations.-The funds allotted July 1, 1938, amounting to $31,000 will be applied to execution of the project, by contract, July to September 1938. No work is contemplated for the fiscal year 1940. 1740 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

COLUMBIA RIVER AT THE MOUTH, OREGON AND WASHINGTON Location.-This river rises in British Columbia, through which it flows for 425 miles. It enters the United States in northeastern Washington, flows southerly to the mouth of Snake River, thence westerly between Oregon and Washington, and empties into the Pacific Ocean 645 miles north of San Francisco Bay and 160 miles south of the Straits of Juan de Fuca. The total length of the river is 1,210 miles. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5902, 6151, 6152, 6153, 6154, 6155, and 6156; also Geological Survey map of Washington.) Previous projects.--Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 5, 1884. The total cost and expenditure was $1,986,253.14, all for new work. For further details see page 1999 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for a channel across the bar 40 feet deep at mean lower low water and of suitable width (not less than one-half mile), to be secured by dredging and by converging rubble-mound jetties, the south jetty being about 7 miles and the north jetty about 21/ miles long, terminating 2 miles north of the end of the south jetty. Mean lower low water is the plane of refer- ence. The tidal range on the bar between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 8 feet, and the extreme tidal range is about 13 feet. The estimate of cost for new work was as follows: For the south jetty extension revised in 1909, $8,014,164; for the north jetty, revised in 1913, $5,966,573; and for remodeling and operating the dredge, made in 1905, $250,000; a total of $14,230,737, exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects. The latest (1928) approved esti- mate for annual cost of maintenance is $6,500, to cover the cost of hydrographic surveys only. Jetty maintenance is done only at inter- vals of several years and is covered by special allotments. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1905, making final provision for the south jetty, the con- struction of the north jetty, and dredging (H. Doc. No. 94, 56th Cong., 1st sess., and Annual Report for 1903, p. 2275). The con- struction of the north jetty was approved July 29, 1910, and a modi- fication of its alinement December 27, 1913. The latest published map is in the Annual Report for 1921 opposite page 1868. Terminal facilities.-Forterminal and transfer facilities see report on Columbia and lower Willamette Rivers. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of placing 77,577.71 tons of stone, by contract, in the north jetty; erecting and maintaining sand fences on Clatsop Spit; repairs to existing dikes, and shore protection at Sand Island and making hydrographic surveys. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1741 The cost of maintenance work during the year was as follows: Maintenance of north jetty $388, 712. 34 Erection and maintenance of sand fences_---------------- _ _ 4, 549. 85 Repairs to dikes and shore protection at Sand Island __45, 7(0. 10 Hydrographic surveys _____ ---------------- 5, 545. 77 Total -------------------- ------------------------------- _ 444, 568. 06 The total expenditures were $297,624.97. Condition at end of fiscial year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1918 at a saving of $2,873,231 under the estimated cost. The inshore end of the north jetty is in good condition. On the outer half sloughing of the enrockment int into deep water along the south side has taken place, and at the outer end for a distance of about 1,500 feet the enrockment has been beaten down to low-water level and below. The south jetty has been reconstructed from Clatsop Spit to a point 9,500 feet west of the knuckle, about 3.2 miles, and this part is in good condition, with the exception that the asphaltic concrete terminal completed in September 1936 has been demolished ,and beaten down to low-water level. Survey of June 1937 shows the channel westward of the ends of the jetties to have not less than the project depth of 40 feet at mean lower low' water for a width of 7,000 feet. On the outer bar a central channel depth of 46 feet is available. Between the ends of the jetties the central channel depth is 46 feet. In the throat, about 212 miles inside the ends of the jetties, the position of the channel has remained practically fixed. Dikes constructed along the south side of Sand Island appear to have been effective in checking erosion along the south side of the island, and the movement of the main channel to the north. A draft of 35 feet is practicable at mean lower low water under ordinary conditions. The cost of the existing project totaled $19,- 109,671.50, of which $11,357,506.35 was for new work and $7,752,- 165.15 for maintenance. The expenditures totaled $18,962,,089.63. In addition, $475,000 and $25,000 were contributed by the ports of Port- land and Astoria, respectively, and expended for new work.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1743 9. SKIPANON CHANNEL, OREG. Location.-This channel is a tidal waterway extending south 2.7 miles from deep water in Columbia River. The channel enters the Columbia about 10 miles above its mouth and 4 miles below Astoria, Oreg. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6151.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 30 feet deep and generally 200 feet wide extending from deep water in Columbia River to the railroad bridge at Warrenton, Oreg., a distance of 1.8 miles, and for a turning basin at Warrenton; and for a channel 6 feet deep and generally 40 feet wide, with increased widths at log dumps and terminals, for a distance of 4,500 feet, via Cut-off Channel, above the railroad bridge. The channels are to be obtained and main- tained by dredging and, below the railroad bridge, by the main- tenance of the existing bulkheads by local interests. Mean lower low water i5 the plane of reference. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 8 feet; the extreme tidal range is about 13 feet. The estimated cost of new work, made in 1937, is $145,800. The latest (1937) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $16,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents 1 July 3, 1930 Channel from deep water in the Columbia River to H. Doec.

Local cooperation.-Fully complied with insofar as the channel between the Columbia River and the railroad bridge is concerned. For the channel above the railroad bridge the conditions of local cooperation, providing necessary rights-of-way, suitable spoil-dis- posal areas for new work, and for subsequent maintenance and ade- quate log-dumping facilities open to all on equal terms, remain to be complied with. Terminal facilities.-The city of Warrenton owns a wharf with 300-foot frontage open to the public. Two privately owned lumber- mill wharves with total frontage of 800 feet are used for lumber shipments. In the channel above the railroad bridge the only facili- ties are the log dumps used by the log trucks. These facilities are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging of the channel by the U. S. dredge Multnomah was done during November and December 1937. The dredge removed 175,900 cubic yards of material at a cost and expenditure of $15,000, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 91 percent completed. Dredging of the channel from deep water in the Colum- bia River to the railroad bridge at Warrenton was completed in 1931 at a saving of $13,574 under the estimated cost. Survey of December 1744 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 1937 showed a least depth in this channel, over a bottom width of about 200 feet, of 281/2 feet at mean lower low water over the shoal outside the entrance to the channel and 281/2 feet in the channel be- tween the bulkheads. A draft of 26 feet is practicable at mean lower low water. No work has been done on the channel above the railroad bridge authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937. Survey of July 1935 shows a controlling depth in this channel of 1 foot over a width of 40 feet. The costs and expenditures under the existing project are $121,425.60 for new work and $56,104.20 for maintenance, a total of $177,529.80. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1938, $20,000, together with an allotment of $10,800 made on July 1, 1938, will be applied as follows: New work: Dredging channel from railroad bridge at Warrenton up- stream 4,500 feet, by contract, September to November 1938 ...-.... $10, 800 Maintenance: Dredging channel from Columbia River to Warrenton, by contract, August to October 1938_ ------------------------------- 20, 000 Total ---------- ----------- --- 30, 800 The additional sum of $20,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for maintenance dredging, by contract, August to October 1939.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1745, 10. YOUNGS BAY AND YOUNGS RIVER, OREG. Location.-Youngs River is a tributary of the lower Columbia River. It empties into Youngs Bay south and west of Astoria, Oreg., about 10 miles above the mouth of the Columbia. The total length of the river is about 20 miles, of which the lower 8 miles are tidal. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6151.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 10 feet deep and 1.50 feet wide, from the Columbia River to the foot of Haven Island, a distance of about 21// miles across Youngs Bay and 4 miles in Youngs River. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 8 feet, and extreme tidal range about 13 feet. The estimated cost of new work, made in 1932, is $5,000. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,800. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (H. Doc. No. 209, 72d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Terminal facilities.-There are no public terminals or wharves. The Pacific Power & Light Co. owns a wharf, about 300 feet long, which it operates in connection with its power plant, located about one-half mile below the highway bridge across the upper end of Youngs Bay. Above this highway bridge there is a small privately owned wharf, used in connection with the handling of quarry stone by barges. There is also a fish-receiving wharf and warehouse on the Astoria side of Youngs Bay, located just above the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railroad bridge, and a log-dump on the south side of Youngs Bay, just above the highway bridge. The existing terminals are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done on the project. The controlling depth is 8 feet. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1938, amounting to $10,000 will be applied to new work dredging of the project channel, by contract, during the fall of 1938. The additional sum of $2,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for maintenance dredging.

COLUMBIA AND LOWER WILLAMETTE RIVERS BELOW VANCOUVER, WASH., AND PORTLAND, OREG. Location.-This project embraces 1031/2 miles of Columbia River below Vancouver, Wash., and 14 miles of Willamette River below Portland, Oreg. For description of Columbia River see page 1740, and of Willamette River, page 1754. Previous projects.-Some relief dredging was done between 1866 and 1876. Projects were adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of June 18, 1878; July 13, 1892; June 13, 1902; and March 3, 1905. The costs and expenditures on these projects were $1,529,413.14 for new work and $1,214,864.79 for maintenance, a total of $2,744,277.93. For further details see pages 1995 and 1998 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 35 feet deep and 500 feet wide in the Columbia River from its mouth to the mouth of the Willamette, 99 miles, and thence up the Willamette to Port- land, about 14 miles; 30 feet deep and 300 feet wide in the Columbia River from the mouth of the Willamette River to the interstate high- way bridge at Vancouver, Wash., about 4.5 miles, with two turning basins of same depth at Vancouver, 800 feet wide and approximately 2,000 feet and 3,000 feet long for the upper and lower basins respec- tively, and auxiliary channels 10 feet deep and 300 feet wide in the vicinity of Cathlamet, Wash.; 30 feet deep and 300 feet wide in St. Helens (Oreg.) Channel, and 30 feet deep and 500 feet wide connect- ing the upper end of the St. Helens Channel with the main ship channel of the Columbia; 24 feet deep and 200 feet wide along the frontage of the town of Rainier, Oreg., extended at its upper and lower ends to deep water in the Columbia River, and for the construc- tion of stone and pile dikes and revetments. The existing project also provides for maintenance to not to exceed 35 feet depth at low water, over such areas in the project channel of the Willamette River between its mouth and the Broadway Bridge, Portland, as have been dredged under the existing project by the Port of Portland, no dredging to be done within 50 feet of the pierhead lines. The plane of reference in the estuary, from the mouth to Harrington Point, is mean lower low water; thence, to Portland and Vancouver, low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at the mouth of the Columbia is about 8 feet, and at Portland and Vancouver about 21/2 feet at low stages of the rivers. Extreme tidal ranges are about 13 and 3 feet, respectively. Annual freshets have but little effect on depths at the mouth of the Columbia; at Portland and Vancouver they average about 20 feet, while the highest known reached a stage of 33 feet above low water. The estimate of cost for new work, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, revised in 1937, is $3,929,000, including the dike construction authorized in 1912 and 1922, and for a channel 35 feet RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1747 deep by 500 feet wide, but not including $2,500 to be contributed toward the auxiliary channel at Rainier, the work contributed by the Port of Portland, nor the estimate of $750,000 for a new dredge authorized by Congress in 1922 for better maintenance, nor enlarge- ment of the channel from the mouth of the Willamette to Vancouver, authorized by the act of March 3, 1925, estimated to cost $123,000. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $817,100.

Local cooperation.-The 35-foot-channel maintenance in Willamette River, authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, is subject to the requirement that local interests shall furnish free of cost to the United States the necessary areas for disposal of dredged material from the Willamette River and that the Port of Portland shall assist in the work of maintaining the project channels in the Wil- lamette River, and in the Columbia River below, by loaning to the United States, when required, a suitable pipe-line dredge in good operating condition, with full crew and equipment, without charge, 101110-pt. 1-vol. 2-38-47 1748 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 other than reimbursement to the Port of Portland for the operating costs of such dredge on a basis approved by the Chief of Engineers. (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doec. No. 6, 73d Cong., 1st sess.) Under provisions of the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937, the auxiliary channel along the Rainier (Oreg.) water front is subject to the requirements that local interests contribute $2,500 toward the cost of the improvement and furnish suitable spoil-disposal areas for new work and for subsequent maintenance (H. Doc. No. 203, 75th Cong., 1st sess.), and extension of the lower turning basin at Van- couver, Wash., downstream for a distance of 1,000 feet is subject to the condition that local interests furnish suitable spoil-disposal areas for new work and for subsequent maintenance and that the work shall not be undertaken until the Chief of Engineers is assured that local interests are ready to proceed with the construction of a new terminal on the extension to the basin (Rivers and Harbors Com- mittee Doc. No. 81, 74th Cong., 2d sess.). All prior requirements have been fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-At Portland, Oreg., there are under public ownership three terminals for general cargo. There is one drydock of 10,000 tons and another of 15,000 tons capacity, both under public ownership and operation. Under private ownership, but open to the public on equal terms, are 11 general cargo, 5 grain and flour, 6 lumber, 1 cement, and 9 crude-oil and gasoline terminals, besides out- fitting and storage wharves. At Astoria, Oreg., there is a large municipal terminal with grain elevator and flour mill. There are also private wharves used for ship- ment of canned salmon, lumber, and flour, and for the receiving of coal, oil, and general merchandise. At Vancouver, Wash., there are two municipal terminal wharves. There are also privately owned wharves for shipment of lumber and other commodities, and a privately owned grain elevator and wharf. At Kalama, Wash., there is a municipal wharf for shipment of lumber. The Port of Longview has a 'public terminal on the Columbia River at Longview, Wash., and the Long-Bell Lumber Co. and Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. have wharves in the same vicinity for the shipment of lumber. At other small towns on the Columbia River between Portland and Astoria there are sufficient private facilities to accommodate the river steamers, and at seven points there are large sawmill docks used entirely for the shipment of lumber in ocean-going carriers. These facilities, with the planned extensions, are considered ade- quate for the present needs of commerce. (For further details see Port Series No. 11, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-With regular funds, maintenance, dredging was done by the U. S. dredges Wahkiakum, Clatsop, Col. P. S. Michie, Pacific, and Kingman in all bars or chan- nels where surveys indicated considerable shoaling. The total exca- vation was 7,759,323 cubic yards. In addition the U. S. dredge Pacific removed 705,195 cubic yards, new work at St. Helens at a cost of $51,992.56. Total costs for the year were $563,270.33, $51,992.56 for new work and $511,277.77 for maintenance. Expenditures were $553,540.44. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1749 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 99 percent completed. The 35- by 500-foot channel project was completed in 1933, except that a channel revision at Harrington Point was made in 1935 with Public Works funds. A total of 136 dikes have been constructed, including 5 built by the Port of Portland and 10 by the Port of Vancouver. The channel is in good condition. A draft of 30 feet is practicable at low tide throughout the year and at high tide a draft of 32 feet is practicable. In the Columbia below the mouth of Willamette River the least depth referred to low-water datum at end of June 1938 was 33 feet. At the existing stage of river the least depth was 33 feet at low tide. Above the mouth of the Williamette River the Vancouver Channel has a controlling depth of 30 feet. In the Williamette River a depth of 35 feet at low water is available. There remains to complete the existing project the dredging of an auxiliary channel at Rainier, and the extension of the lower turning basin at Vancouver. The total costs under the existing project to June 30, 1938 are as follows : New work Maintenance Total United States funds: Regular------- ..----------------- ------------ $3, 315, 599. 13 $8, 790, 260. 77 $12, 105, 859. 90 Public Works 446, 296. 19 446, 296. 19 Emergency Relief------------ 138, 449. 04 98, 667. 57 237, 116. 61 Total United States funds - - ----- 3, 900. 344. 36 8, 888, 928.34 12, 789, 272. 70 Contributed funds --- --------------- 98, 527. 20. 24, 319.82 122, 847. 02 Total, all funds- - -------------------. ---. .- - -. 3, 998, 871. 56 8, 913, 24S. 16 12. 912, 119. 72 The expenditures have been $12,092,758.55 from regular funds, $446,296.19 from Public Works funds, and $237,116.61 from Emer- gency Relief funds, a total of $12,776,171.35 from United States funds, and $122,847.02 from contributed funds, a total of $12,- 899,018.37.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1751 12. WESTPORT SLOUGH, OREG. Location.-Westport Slough is a side channel of the Columbia River located about 70 miles below Portland, Oreg. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6152.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 28 feet deep and generally 200 feet wide, from deep water in the Columbia River to the ferry dolphin immediately downstream from the Westport Lum- ber Co. wharf, a distance of about 3,500 feet. Low water is the plane of reference. The average tidal range during low water conditions in the Colum- bia River is about 5 feet. The estimated cost for new work made in 1937, is $16,300. The latest (1937) approved estimate of cost of annual maintenance is $5,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. No. 79, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in this document. Local cooperation.-Conditionsof local cooperation, requiring local interests to provide suitable spoil-disposal areas and to dredge and maintain a channel 28 feet deep and 150 feet wide from the ferry dolphin to the upper end of the Westport Lumber Co. wharf, remain to be complied with. Terminal facilities.-The only terminal is the privately owned wharf of the Westport Lumber Co. There is no need at present for additional terminals. Operations and results during fiscal year.--None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done on the project. A survey made in June 1938 shows a controlling depth of 25 feet on the channel range. Proposed operations.-The sum of $16,300, allotted July 1, 1938, will be applied to execution of the project, by contract, August to Sep- tember 1938. The sum of $5,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for maintenance dredging, by Government plant and hired labor, December 1939.

CLATSKANIE RIVER, OREG. Location.-This river rises in the Coast Range in Oregon, flows northwesterly about 28 miles, and empties through Beaver and Wal- lace Sloughs into the Columbia River about 50 miles from the mouth. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6152.) 1752 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1899. The total cost and expenditure was $39,026.29, of which $15,537.30 was for new work and $23,488.99 was for maintenance. For further details of original project, see page 2000 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for dredging and maintaining a through channel 6 feet deep and 40 feet wide from the town of Clats- kanie to Columbia River, a distance of about 4 miles. Low water is the plane of reference. The maximum variation of water levels due to tides is about 5 feet, and to freshets in the Columbia River about 10 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1915, was $4,620. The latest (1924) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $7,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1899 For improvement below Clatskanie ........ H. Doc. No. 218, 55th Cong., 2d sess.

Terminal facilities.-A wharf and a warehouse at Clatskanie are owned by a transportation company. On Beaver Slough there are five private wharves which have regular steamboat service. The terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1924 at a saving of $917 under the estimated cost. The channel is in fair condition, with project width and depth available. Cost of the existing project was $53,441.34, of which $3,703.34 was for new work and $49,738 for maintenance. The expenditures were $53,441.34. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated for the fiscal year 1939.

MULTNOMAH CHANNEL, OREG. Location.-Multnomah Channel, formerly known as Willamette Slough, is a back channel 22 miles long connecting the Columbia River near the town of St. Helens, Oreg., with the Willamette River at the north boundary of the city of Portland, Oreg. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6154.) Existing project.-This provides for the removal of sunken logs throughout the waterway; for a channel at the Columbia end 300 feet wide and 25 feet deep, extending for a distance of about 5,000 feet; and for a channel at the Willamette end 250 feet wide and 25 feet deep, extending for a distance of about 9,500 feet. Low water is the plane of reference. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at St. Helens is about 3 feet at low stages of the Columbia and Willamette Rivers, and the extreme range about 3/2 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1932, was $20,000. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $3,300. The existing project was authorized by the Public Works Admin- istration February 15, 1935, and by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 47, 72d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is contained in the project document. Terminal facilities.-Near the north end of the channel, 4,000 feet above the mouth and near St. Helens, Oreg., the St. Helens Pulp & Paper Co. has a wharf with 500 feet frontage. The St. Helens creosoting plant at the mouth of Scappoose Bay on Multnomah Channel has a mooring place for tankers of moderate draft. Near the south end of the channel the quay wharf of the B. F. Johnson Lumber Co., 300 feet in length, is the only terminal used for making ocean shipments. Other facilities on the channel consist of exten- sive log booms parallel with the banks in several places, and used for the rafting and temporary storage of logs. All the existing facilities are privately owned and are sufficient for the present traffic. Operations and results during flscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed during the fiscal year 1935 at a saving of $1,887 under the estimated cost. The project depth of 25 feet and channel widths of 250 feet at the south end and 300 feet at the north end are available. Depths in the remainder of this channel vary from 8 to 50 feet. A draft of 23 feet is practicable at low water at each end of the channel, and in the balance of the channel depths are sufficient to accommodate river steamers. The total cost and expenditures for the existing project were $18,112.28, all for new work, from Public Works funds. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated for the fiscal year 1939. 1754 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 The sum of $10,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for maintenance, dredging, and snag removal with Govern- ment plant and hired labor, October to November 1939.

WILLAMETTE RIVER ABOVE PORTLAND, AND YAMHILL RIVER, OREG. Location.-The Willamette River rises in the Cascade Range in southwestern Oregon, flows northerly, and empties into the Columbia River about 100 miles from the sea. Its length from the source of the middle fork is about 294 miles. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6155 and the U. S. Geological Survey Map, State of Oregon.) The Yamhill River rises in the Coast Range, flows easterly, and empties into the Willamette River about 42 miles above Portland. Its length from the source of the south fork is about 52 miles. Previous projects.-Forthe Willamette River, adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1871, and July 13, 1892. The cost and expenditures were $247,747.51 for new work. For further details see page 1997 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for improvement of Willamette River between Portland (14 miles above the mouth) and Oregon City (26 miles above the mouth) by a channel 8 feet deep at low water, 200 feet wide below Cedar Island, and 150 feet wide thence to Oregon City; and for a channel 21/2 to 31/2 feet deep at low water and of no prescribed width from Oregon City to Corvallis (132 miles above the mouth); by snagging between Corvallis and Harrisburg (163 miles above the mouth); by the removal of Copeleys Rock, 9 miles above Portland; and by necessary dredging, snagging, dike, and revetment work between Portland and Corvallis. The project also provides for a channel in Yamhill River 4 feet deep at low water and 60 feet wide from its mouth to McMinnville (18 miles) to be secured by means of a lock and dam near Lafayette and the removal of obstructions. The section of Willamette River in the vicinity of Willamette Falls at Oregon City is covered by a project described on page 1758 of this report. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1755 The following table shows the principal features of the lock and dam in Yamhill River: Location: 11/2 miles below Lafayette, Oreg., 8 miles above the mouth. Usable lock dimensions: One lock 175 by 38 feet Lift of lock: 16 feet. Depth on sills at low water: 4 feet on upper sill; 2 feet on lower sill. Character of foundation: Timber piling in clay. Kind of dam: Fixed. Type of construction: Timber crib. Date of completion: September 21, I 00. Cost: $72,164.83. For the Willamette River below the falls at Oregon City ordinary fluctuation of stage of water is 15 feet and the extreme fluctuation due to flood conditions 35 to 50 feet. Above Oregon City the ordi- nary fluctuation is 12 to 20 feet and the extreme is 20 to 27 feet. For the Yamhill River the ordinary fluctuation is 35 feet and the extreme 48 feet. Tidal changes vary from about 21/2 feet at the mouth of the Willamette to zero 26 miles above the mouth. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1930, is $459,300, exclusive of the amount expended on previous projects. The latest (1932) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $84,000, including $4,000 for operation and care of the lock and dam in Yam- hill River. The Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, in addition to providing for certain flood-control works, included therein a provision for such channel improvement and contraction works as may be necessary to secure, with the stream-flow regulations, controlling depths of 6 feet to the mouth of the Santiam River (109 miles above the mouth) and 5 feet to Albany (120 miles above the mouth); and for the reconstruction and enlargement of the locks at Oregon City (Willamette River at Willamette Falls), (authorization was limited to initiation and partial accomplishment of the combined project out- lined in House Doc. No. 544, 75th Cong. 3d sess.). (For "Willamette River Basin" flood control project, see p. 1823 ) The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents and reports June 3,1896 Improvement of Willamette River above Oregon City__ IH.Doec.No. 260, 54th Cong., 1st sess.

S. AHMY, 1938 Terminal facilities.-Between Portland and Willamette Falls the terminals are privately owned mill wharves and oil-receiving sta- tions. Above the falls there are small wharves privately owned or natural landings. These facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging in Willamette River between Portland and Independence, Oreg., con- sisted of the removal of 71,943 cubic yards, mostly gravel, by contract, at a cost of $21,883.16. Other maintenance work consisted of the removal of 867 snags from Willamette and Yamhill Rivers at a cost of $2,016.54 and repairs to existing dikes and revetments at a cost of $23,469.19. Hydrographic surveys were made at a cost of $11,- 618.03. These operations resulted in maintaining the project depths of 8 feet at low water to Oregon City and 31/2 feet at low water be- tween Oregon City and Independence. Due to the controlling depth of 2 feet at low water on the lower miter sill at the Yamhill lock, only 2 feet depth at low water was maintained in the Yamhill River be- tween the locks and the mouth. This depth is considered ample for the existing log traffic. The experimental channel stabilization by bank protection con- structed the previous year was fairly successful and further experi- ments along the same lines were carried on at the same locations. The cost of these experiments was $29,895.26. A total of 11,900 square yards of surface was placed on Independ- ence Bend and 9,000 square yards at Harrisburg Bend. At Inde- pendence Bend 2,300 cubic yards of riprap stone was placed along the toe of slope, and 2,286 cubic yards at Harrisburg Bend. Minor repairs were made to the lock, dam, and buildings on Yam- hill River. The new lock gates were completed in 1935 and the lock has been in continuous operation since that time, except for short periods during high water. The cost for maintenance was $88,- 882.18, and for operating and care, $3,393.38, a total cost of $92,- 275.56, from regular funds. Expenditures from regular funds were $89,073.85, Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 95 percent completed. The new work on the 8-foot channel, Portland to Oregon City, is about 95 percent completed. Removal of Cope- leys Rock will complete the existing project. The controlling depths at low water on upper Willamette River at the end of the year were 8 feet between Portland and Oregon City (12 miles); 2 feet from Oregon City to Independence (72 miles); and on Yamhill River 1 foot from its mouth to McMinnville (18 miles). Traffic above Salem is confined to log rafts and occasional launches. The river is open between Salem and Corvallis (47 miles), but the steeper slope of the river above Corvallis discourages traffic. The controlling depth be- tween Salem and Corvallis is about 1 foot at low water. The bank revetments at Independence and Wheatland are in fair condition.. The dam at Wheatland is in fair condition. The lock and dam in Yamhill River were completed in 1900. The depth over the upper miter sill at low water is 4 feet and 2 feet over the lower miter sill. The lock, dam, and grounds are in good condition. The lock was in service during the entire year except for short periods during high water. It is used principally for the passage of log rafts. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1757 The total costs of the existing project to June 30, 1938, were $437,- 606.35 for new work and $1,674,207.39 for maintenance, including $10,685.21 for operation and care, a total cost of $2,111,813.74, all regular funds. The total expenditures were $2,108,150.55, all regular funds. In addition the sum of $106,433.23 was expended between September 24, 1900, and June 30, 1935, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provision of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

WILLAMETTE RIVER AT WILLAMETTE FALLS, OREG. Location.-The locks and dam covered by this project are located at Willamette Falls, a rocky reef in the Willamette River at Oregon City, Oreg., about 26 miles above the mouth of the river. Existing project.-This provides for the purchase, rehabilitation, and deepening to 6 feet at low water of the existing canal and locks and the separation of the canal from the water-power intake by the construction of a concrete division wall. The total length of the canal and locks is about 3,500 feet. The following table shows the principal features of the canal and locks at Willamette Falls: Usable lock dimensions: Series of four locks, each 175 by 37 feet.1 Lift of each lock: Lock no. 1 (lower), 22.5 feet ;2 lock no. 2, 8.7 feet; lock no. 3, 10.9 feet; lock no. 4 (upper), 8.1 feet. Depth on miter sills at low water: Lower lock, 8.4 feet; upper lock, 6 feet. Character of foundation: Rock. 1A guard lock 210 by 40 feet, which is used only at higher stages of water, is located at the uppeir end of the canal basin. 2A concrete division wall. 1,227 feet long, extending from lock no. 4 to the guard lock, separates the upper basin of the canal from the head race, which formerly led directly from the basin and supplied water for the power plants operated by the Crown Willamette Paper Co. and the Portland Railway, Light & Power Co. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1759 Kind of dam: Fixed.3 Type of construction : Concrete. Year of completion: 1873. Purchased by United States April 28, 1915. Cost: Unknown. Purchase price, $375,000. The ordinary fluctuation of the stage of water above the locks is 12 feet, and the extreme, due to flood conditions, 20 feet. Below the locks the ordinary fluctuation is 15 feet and the extreme 50 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1912, was $580,000. This includes the price paid for the canal and locks. The estinmate of annual cost of operation and care, made in 1937, is $36,000. The Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, authorized the initiation and partial accomplishment of a combined project for flood control and navigation of the Willamette River and tributaries, including the reconstruction and enlargement of the locks at Oregon City (House Doc. No. 544, 75th Cong., 3d sess.). (For "Willamette River Basin" flood control project, see p. 1S23.)

Terminal facilities.-The Crown Willamette Paper Co. has con- structed a timber wharf about 850 feet in length, extending to and supported by the concrete division wall built inthe lock canal by the United States. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Repairs to and general policing and care of the property resulted in continuous service dur- ing the year. The costs for the year were $38,870.53 for operating and care. Expenditures for the year were $36,800.37. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The final report on the project for purchase and rehabilitation of the canal and locks was given in the Annual Report for 1923, when the project was reported 98 percent complete. No further work is considered necessary. The depth over the miter sills is 6 feet at low water. The locks and grounds are in fair condition and are continuously serviceable, except when high water or necessary repairs prevent. Expenditures for purchase and rehabilitation of the locks and canal were $677,122.20, of which $300,000 was from contributed funds. Costs for operating and care with regular funds were $109,742.09. Expenditures were $108,037.51.

LAKE RIVER, WASH. Location.-This river, located in Clark County, Wash., is the out- let of Vancouver Lake, located about 2 miles northwest of Van- couver, Wash. The stream flows in a northerly direction for about 11 miles and empties into the Columbia River about 88 miles above the mouth. (See map of Columbia National Forest, U. S. Forest Service, 1935, and U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6154.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 6 feet deep at low water and 100 feet wide from the mouth of the river to Ridgefield (3 miles). The mean tidal range between mean lower low and mean higher high waters at the mouth of the river is 3 feet. The estimated cost of new work, made in 1930, was $3,000. The latest (1932) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, in accordance with House Committee Document No. 2, Sixty-ninth Congress, first session, as modified by the report of the War Department dated May 10, 1930, pursuant to the Commerce Committee resolution of February 22, 1930. Terminal facilities.-There are four timber wharves on Lake River. These are at Ridgefield, 21/ miles above the mouth of the river. Two of these wharves are open to the public and two are privately owned. The principal traffic is floated logs, which are placed in the river from a log dump connected with the railway at Felida. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project was completed in 1931. The controlling depth from the mouth of the river to Ridge- field is 6.5 feet at low water. The project width of 100 feet from the mouth to Ridgefield now obtains. The total cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $6,700, of which $2,700 was for new work and $4,000 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $6,700, Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated for the fiscal year 1939. The sum of $2,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for maintenance dredging between Ridgefield and the mouth of the river, by contract, August and September 1939. 1762 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

LEWIS RIVER, WASH. Location.-This river rises in the Cascade Range in Washington, flows westerly and southwesterly 110 miles, and empties into the Co- lumbia River about 88 miles from the mouth. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 6153 and 6151.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1899 and modified by the River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902. The total cost and expenditure was $30,350, of which $22,251.62 was for new work and $8,098.38 for maintenance. For further details of previous projects see page 2001, Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for a low-water channel 6 feet deep and 50 feet wide to the mouth of the East Fork (33/4 miles) ; 4 feet deep and 50 feet. wide on the East Fork from its mouth to La Center (3 miles) ; 4 feet deep and 50 feet wide on Lewis River (North Fork) from the East Fork to Woodland (31/2 miles), to be secured by dredging and by the construction of regulating works and for clearing the channel td Arial (16 miles above Woodland). The maximum variation of water level due to tides ranges from about 3 feet at the mouth to 11/2 feet at La Center and zero at Woodland. During ordinary freshets a stage of 14 feet and, at extreme floods, a stage of about 24 feet is reached in the main river at Woodland, Wash. The estimate of cost for new work made in 1913 was $61,500, ex- clusive of amounts expended under previous projects. The latest (1928) approved estaima te for annual cost of maintenance is $2,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 4, 1913 (H. Doc. No. 28, 62d Cong., 1st sess.). For latest published map see page 3557 of Annual Report for 1901. Recommended modifications of project.-The Chief of Engineers has recommended that the project be modified by eliminating all work on the East Fork and on the North Fork above Woodland (H. Doc. No. 467, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). Terminal facilities.-At La Center, on the East Fork, and at Wood- land, on the North Fork, respectively, the terminals, pile and timber structures, are publicly owned and are considered adequate for the existing commerce. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG,, DISTRICT 1763 Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1927. The work done has extended low-water navigation to Woodland and La Center, to which points the controlling depths are about 2 feet and 1 foot, respectively. The channel has deterio- rated badly, due to the fact that no maintenance work has been done since 1922. Traffic is light and consists of rafted logs and piling and occasional pleasure launches. The total cost and expenditures were $103,215.76, of which $35,880.44 was for new work and $67,335.32 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is con- temnplated for the fiscal year 1939. The sum of $2,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for snag removal and survey between Woodland and La Center and the mouth of the river, by Government plant and hired labor.

COWLITZ RIVER, WASH. Location.-This river rises in the Cascade Range in Washington, flows westerly and southerly about 120 miles, and empties into the Columbia River about 69 miles from the mouth. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6153.) Previous projects. Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 14, 1880. The total cost and expenditure was $53,182.93, of which $4,999 was for new work and $48,183.93 for maintenance. For fur- ther details see page 2000 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 4 feet deep at low water and 50 feet wide from the mouth to Ostrander (9 miles), thence 21/ feet deep and 50 feet wide to Castle Rock (10 miles), and thence 2 feet deep at low water and not less than 40 feet wide to Toledo (18 miles), to be secured by snagging, dredging, and regu- lating works. The water level, due to tides, varies from 4 feet at the mouth to zero at Ostrander. During ordinary freshets a stage of 20 feet, and at extreme floods a stage of 25 feet, is reached in the river at Kelso, Wash. 101110-pt. 1-vol. 2---38-----48 1764 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1912, was $39,100, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 25, 1910 (H. Doc. No. 1167, 60th Cong., 2d sess., from the mouth to Castle Rock, and H. Doc. No. 404, 61st Cong., 2d sess., from Castle Rock -to Toledo). For the latest published map see House Document No. 1167, Sixtieth Congress, second session. Recommended modifications of project.-The Chief of Engineers has recommended that the project be modified by the elimination of all work above Castle Rock (H. Doc. No. 467, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). Terminal facilities.-Above Kelso the terminal facilities are lim- ited to two log dumps. At Kelso there are a number of small private wharves and one public landing. Between Kelso and the mouth there are two private commercial wharves. These facilities are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging above Kelso was done by hired bucket dredge during June 1938. A total of 1,517 cubic yards was removed at a cost of $831.95. In addi- tion, hydrographic surveys were made. The total cost was $4,808.13. Expenditures were $4,050.10. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1913, at a saving of $6,192 under the estimated cost. The project depth and width between the mouth and Ostrander are available. The total cost of the existing project was $199,349.55, of which $32,907.62 was for new work and $166,441.93 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $198,591.52. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1938, amounting to $19,349.90, will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Dredging between Castle Rock and Kelso, by hired plant, July 1 to Sept. 30, 1938 _ _ _____---------------- $5, 949. 90 Dredging between Castle Rock and mouth of Toutle River, July 1 to Sept. 1, 1938_ __ - ____ _ -- _ _ 9, 900.00 Snag removal and surveys between Ostrander and the mouth of the river, by Government plant and hired labor, during fiscal year 1939------__ --------------------------------- 3, 500. 00 Total------------------------------------------------ 19, 349.90 The additional sum of $12,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for dredging, snag removal, and surveys between the mouth of the Toutle River and the mouth of the Cowlitz River, by Government plant and hired labor, during the fiscal year 1940.

ELOKOMIN SLOUGH, WASH. Location.-This slough is a side channel of the Columbia River, about 31/2 miles in length, located on the Washington side about 75 miles below Portland, Oreg. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6152.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 10 feet deep and 100 feet wide extending from that depth in Columbia River near the easterly end of the slough to the existing terminals near the mouth of Elokomin River, a distance of about 11/2 miles, with suitable turning basin of the same depth at the inner end. Low water is the plane of reference. The average tidal range during low water conditions in the, Columbia River is about 5 feet. The estimated cost for new work made in 1937, is $16,000. The latest (1937) approved estimate of cost of annual maintenance is $5,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. No. 510, 74th Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is in this document. Local cooperation.-The condition of local cooperation, requiring local interests to provide necessary rights-of-way and suitable spoil- disposal areas for new work and subsequent maintenance remain to be complied with. Terminal facilities.-The only terminals are the privately owned wharves of Crown Willamette Paper Co. and International Wood Products Co. There is no present need for additional terminals. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done on this ploject. A survey made in December 1935 shows a controlling depth of 5 feet in the proposed channel. 1766 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 Proposed operations.-The funds allotted July 1, 1938, amounting to $16,000 will be applied to execution of the project, by contract, September to December 1938. The additional sum of $5,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for maintenance dredging between deep water in the Columbia River to near the mouth of Elokomin River, by contract, September and October 1939.

Location.-This creek rises in Wahkiakum County, in the south- western part of the State of Washington, flows southwesterly and southerly about 10 miles, and empties into the Columbia River about 34 miles from the mouth. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6152.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 61/2 feet deep at low water and 75 feet wide between Steamboat and Brooks Sloughs, about 1,00 feet. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 7 feet and the maximum variation of water level due to tides or freshets is about 12 feet. During ordinary freshets a stage of 9 feet and at extreme floods a stage of 12 feet is reached in the creek at Skamokawa, Wash. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1919, was $2,400. The latest (1925) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2 000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1919 (H. Doc. No. 111, 63d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Terminal facilities.-There are three privately owned wharves, one on Steamboat Slough and two above Brooks Slough, used for general freight and passenger purposes, and these are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1920. The controlling denth is 7 feet at low water. The total cost and expenditure was $24,837.11, of which $2,400 was for new work and $22,437.11 for maintenance. Proposed operations--No funds are available and no work is con- temnlated for the fiscal year 1939. The sum of $2,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for maintenance dredging between Brooks Slough and Steamboat Slough, by contract, January and February 1940.

GRAYS RIVER, WASH. Location.--This river rises in the Coast Range in Washington, flows southwesterly about 30 miles, and empties into Grays Bay in the estuary of the Columbia River, about 21 miles above the mouth. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6151.) Existing project.-This provides for the removal of snags and other obstructions from the channel and overhanging trees from the banks between the mouth and the town of Grays River, 8 miles above. The tidal range at the mouth between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 8 feet, and the extreme range is about 13 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1907, was $2,500. The latest (1918) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $500. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1907 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 1, 59th Cong., 2d sess.) There is no published map. Terminal facilities.-The terminals are small wharves, privately owned, and are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1909. The river is in fairly good condition, but shoal. For about 61/2 miles above the mouth the controlling depth is 2 feet, and above that, to town of Grays River, 11/2 miles farther up, it is prac- tically dry in two places at low-water stage. The river is used for logs only above the town of Grays River. The total cost and amount expended under the existing project is $7,302.29, of which $2,500 was for new work and $4,802.29 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated for the fiscal year 1939. The sum of $1,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for maintenance snagging between the town of Grays River and the mouth of the river, by Government plant and hired labor, July 1939. 1768 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

DEEP RIVER, WASH. Location.-This river is mainly a tidal slough of Grays Bay, Wash., an estuary on the north side of the Columbia River, about 20 miles from the mouth. The slough extends northerly about 4 miles from the northern end of Grays Bay, and the section above the head of the slough has several small tributaries. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6151.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 8 feet deep at mean lower low water, 100 feet wide through the bars at the mouth of the river and the entrance thereto, and 60 feet wide in the river up to the town of Deep River. The tidal range at the mouth, between mean lower low water and mean higher high water, is about 8 feet and the extreme range about 13 feet. During ordinary freshets a. stage of 9 feet and at extreme floods a stage of 14 feet is reached in the river at the town of Deep River, Wash. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1927, was $18,200. The latest (1923) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $2,400. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1925 (H. Doc. No. 218, 68th Cong., 1st sess.). There is noY published map. Terminal facilities.-There is one privately owned wharf at the town of Deep River for general freight and passenger purposes which is considered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results driing fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project was completed in 1928, at a saving of $2,815 under the estimated cost. There is now a channel with a least width of 100 feet and 7 feet deep at mean lower low water, between deep water in the Columbia River and the mouth of Deep River, and thence 71/ feet deep and 60 feet wide to the town of Deep River. The total cost was $27,394.41, of which $15,384.40 was for new work and $12,010.01 for maintenance. The total ex- penditures were $27,394.41. Proposed operations.--No funds are available and no work is contemplated for the fiscal year 1939.

COLUMBIA RIVER AT BAKERS BAY, WASH. Location.-Bakers (Baker) Bay is a shallow body of water about 15 square miles in extent lying on the north side of the Columbia River near its mouth. The bay is separated from the river by Sand Island, a low-lying sand bar only a few feet above high-tide level. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6151.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 10 feet deep and 200 feet wide extending through the easterly passage at Sand Island to the port of Ilwaco, a distance of about 5 miles. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 8 feet, and the extreme tidal range about 13 feet. The estimated cost for new work, revised in 1934. was $80,000. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $6,000. The existing project was authorized by the Public Works Admin- istration, December 11, 1933, and the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (H. Doc. No. 44, 73d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is contained in the project document. Terminal facilities.-Terminals have been constructed at Ilwaco along Holman Waterway, 200 feet wide by 3,000 feet in length and on a dredged basin 400 by 1,000 feet. The facilities consist of wharves, floats, ramps, and berths for oil barges and oil boats. The facilities are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging was done by the U. S. dredge Wahkiakum during May 1938. The dredge removed 212,000 cubic yards from the channel at a cost of. $14,320.98. Expenditures were $13,854.41. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1934 with Public Works funds. The controlling depth is now 10 feet. 1770 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 The total cost and expenditure to the end of the fiscal year was $92,898.45, of which $78,577.47 was for new work and $14,320.98 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1938, amounting to $13,145.59, will be applied to maintenance dredging by contract, March and April 1939. No work is contemplated for the fiscal year 1940.

WILLAMETTE RIVER BASIN, OREG. Location.-The Willamette River is formed by the Coast and Mid- dle Forks which join a few miles above Eugene, Oreg., flows north 189 miles and enters the Columbia River 99 miles above its mouth. The basin has an area of 11,200 square miles, and lies between the Cascade Range on the east and the Coast Range on the west. The major tributaries of the Willamette River rise in the Cascade Moun- tains and consist of the Coast and Middle Forks, and the McKenzie, Calapooya, Santiam, Molalla, and Clackamas Rivers. The important tributaries that head in the Coast Range are the Luckiamute, Yam- hill, and Tualatin Rivers. Minor tributaries, all of which enter the main stream from the west, are Marys River, Rickreall Creek, and Long Tom River. Existing project.-The Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938, ap- proved the general comprehensive plan for flood control, navigation, and other, purposes in the Willamette River Basin as set forth in House Document No. 544, Seventy-fifth Congress, third session, and authorized $11,300,000 for the initiation and partial accomplishment of the plan recommended for initial development; the reservoirs and related works to be selected and approved by the Chief of Engineers. The comprehensive plan includes the construction of a system of reservoirs for flood control and other purposes, channel improvement, and contraction works necessary to secure, with stream flow regula- tion, controlling depths of 6 feet to the mouth of the Santiam River (109 miles above the mouth) and 5 feet to Albany (120 miles above the mouth) ; and for the reconstruction and enlargement of the locks at Oregon City (Willamette River at Willamette Falls). 1824 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Under the final or coordinated plan, the Lookout Point, Quartz Creek, and Detroit Dams would be raised to give a total aggregate usable capacity of 1,820,000 acre-feet. Local cooperation.-See page 8. Operations and results during ftscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done on the existing project. Proposed operations.-Projectswill be selected for construction by the Chief of Engineers, and definite project plans will be prepared. The sum of $11,300,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for construction of projects to be selected by the Chief of Engineers. 81. SNAGGING AND CLEARING UNDER AUTHORITY OF SECTION 2 OF THE FLOOD CONTROL ACT APPROVED AUGUST 28, 1937 The Flood Control Act approved August 28, 1937, authorized the expenditure of not to exceed $300,000 per year from flood-control ap- propriations in removing accumulated snags and other debris and clearing of channels in navigable streams and tributaries thereof when such work is advisable in the interest of flood control; provided the annual expenditure on any single stream, shall not exceed $25,000 in any one year. Allotments were received during the fiscal year 1938 for snagging and clearing on the following strems in the Portland district: Cowlitz River, Wash., and Lambert Slough, Willamette River, Oreg. On the Cowlitz River, Wash., 'operations were started in March 1938 and completed in May 1938, with hired labor. A total of 19,069 snags and 7,320 cubic yards of gravel were removed. Total costs were $25,000. Expenditures were $24,943.35. Contract for the removal of snags and other debris from channels in La Slough -bert , 1 Willal, ntte Riv r, Oreg., has been awarded.

Location.-This improvement consists of the construction of a ship channel between the Interstate Bridge at Vancouver, Wash., and the deep-draft ship lock at Bonneville Dam, 144 miles above the mouth of the river. For description of Columbia River, see page 1740. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 27 feet deep at low water and 300 feet wide between Vancouver, Wash., and Bonneville, Oreg., 38.8 miles. The lower end of the project is about 105 miles above the mouth of the river. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at Vancouver is about 21/2 feet and at Bonneville about 0.2 foot at low stages of the river. Extreme tidal ranges are about 3 feet and 0.4 foot, respectively. Annual freshets average about 21 feet at Vancouver, while the highest known stage reached 33 feet ahnbove 1-w water. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1937, is $2,649,000. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $200,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act approved August 26, 1937 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 94, 74th Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is contained in the project document. Terminal fcilities.-The only terminal facilities at present avail- able or suitable for ocean vessels on the stretch of the river under the project are at Vancouver, Wash., where there is a municipal wharf. RIVERS AND HARBORS-BONNEVILLE, OREG., DISTRICT 1829 There are also privately owned wharves for shipment of lumber and other commodities and a privately owned grain elevator and wharf at Vancouver, Wash. Above Bonneville, the port of The Dalles (mile 82.9 above Van- couver) has constructed a wharf 125 by 1,100 feet for use of both ocean vessels and river boats. There are two one-story timber and corrugated iron warehouses, each 94 by 461 feet, on this wharf. The port has also constructed a concrete and timber oil wharf 27 by 193 feet, about a mile below the main wharf. There are also privately owned facilities for handling petroleum products from river boats. The existing facilities are considered sufficient for the needs of the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done on the project. Controlling depth at low water over some of the bars be- tween Vancouver and Bonneville is about 7 feet. During average summer freshet the controlling depth is increased to from 25 to 30 feet. Proposed operations.-The funds allotted July 1, 1938, $630,800, will be applied to new work as follows: Dredging to provide a channel 20 feet deep at a water stage correspond- ing to a river flow of 150,000 c. f. s., by contract, July 1938 to June 1939-------------------------------------------- $240, 000 Constructing pile dikes and placing riprap, by contract, July 1938 to June 1939 ----------------------------------------------------- 390, 800 Total.--------------------------------------------------- 630, 800 The additional sum of $2,018,200 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1940, for new work, to complete the dredging of the channel to its project depth of 27 feet at low water.

COLUMBIA RIVER AT BONNEVILLE, OREG. Location.-On the Columbia River, 42 miles east of Portland, Oreg., about 144 miles above the mouth of the river. For description of the Columbia River see page 1740. Existing project.-This project provides for a dam, power plant, and lock, for power and navigation. The spillway dam is of con- crete gravity type, having an over-all length of 1,230 feet and extend- ing across the main river channel from the Washington shore to Bradford Island, which divides the river at this point. The overflow crest at 24 feet above mean sea level is surmounted by 18 vertical-lift steel gates, creating a normal pool level at 72 feet above mean sea level. The gates are placed between piers which extend to elevation 1830 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 99 feet where a service roadway permits the operation of two 350-ton gantry cranes for regulating the gates. The power-house extending across Bradford Slough to the-Oregon shore has an initial installation of 2 units of 43,200 kilowatts each and skeleton structure for 4 more (ultimate installation, 10 to 12 units). The ship lock has a single lift, with clear dimensions of 76 feet in width, 500 feet in length, and a depth of 24.2 feet over the sills at adopted low water. The lift at extreme low water and nor- mal pool level is 66 feet. The project includes fish ladders and locks to serve both the main channel and the Bradford Slough channel. The lock and power-house are founded on andesite rock, and the main dam rests upon solidified sedimentary rock of volcanic origin. The ordinary and extreme fluctuations of the river at the lower lock gate are about 21 and 47 feet, respectively. The estimated cost of the dam, lock, 10 power units, and fishways, revised in 1938, is $75,000,000. The estimate of cost for annual oper- ation and maintenance, made in 1937, is $312,000, of which $170,770 is for power and $141,230 for navigation. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents The existing project was originally authorized Sept. 30, 1933, by the Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works. Aug. 30,1935 Existing project authorized by Congress_ Senate committee Aug. 20, 19371 This act authorized the completion, maintenance, and operation of print, 73d Cong., the Bonneville project under the direction of the Secretary of War 2d sess. and the supervision of the Chief of Engineers, subject to certain provisions contained therein relating to the powers and duties of the Bonneville power administrator. 1 Public, No. 329, 75th Cong.

The lower chamber only is used up to a 13-foot stage (upper pool), after which the upper chamber alone is used up to a 42-foot stage, lower gage, when the canal is "drowned out." The ordinary summer freshets reach a stage of 42 feet at the foot of the canal and 30 feet at the upper entrance. The highest freshet of record (1894) reached a height of 60 feet at the lower entrance and 50 feet at the upper entrance. Freshets occur during the winter months, due to rains, and reach a stage of 15 feet at the lower gage, but do not interfere with the navigation of the canal. Ice conditions, which often close the river to navigation, occur usually in January or February. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1894, including $413,360 for the second lock chamber and protective works, was $3,856,763.

Operations and results during fiscal year.-The canal was in service during the fiscal year until February 9, 1938, when operation was abandoned due to submergence of the locks by the raising of the pool behind the Bonneville Dam. Costs and expenditures during the year from regular appropria- tions were as follows: Operation and care of locks and dams: Costs ---------- $6, 461. 12 Expenditures ___ 5, 963. 37 The costs for operation and care to June 30, 1938, were $32,648.44 The cost and expenditure for construction was $3,903,780. 30. There has been considerable traffic during the past 5 years, due to log raft- ing and wheat shipments from the river above the canal. The canal was taken out of operation on February 9, 1938, when it was sub- merged by the backwater from the Bonneville Dam. The costs for operation and care to June 30, 1938, were $32,648.44. The total expenditures were $32,592.44. In addition, the sum of $526,364.99 was expended between November 5, 1896, and June 30, 1935, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provision of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes. Proposed operations.--The balance unexpended June 30, 1938, $2,161.08, will be applied to accounts payable as of that date, $56, and routine maintenance of the grounds and buildings. 1840 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

BRIDGES ACROSS THE COLUMBIA RIVER AT CASCADE LOCKS AND HOOD RIVER, OREG. Location.--Across the Columbia River at Cascade Locks and Hood River, Oreg., 42 miles and 63 miles above (east) of Vancouver, Wash., respectively. Existing project.-The existing project provides for reimbursing the respective bridge owners for the actual cost of such alterations to the structures as will render navigation for ocean-going vessels in the pool formed by the Bonneville Dam reasonably free, easy, and unob- structed. The estimated cost for new work made in 1938 is $1,100,000. The existing project was authorized by the act of Congress ap- proved August 16, 1937 (Public, No. 293, 75th Cong.). Terminal facilities.-None. Operations and results during fiscal year-Cascade Locks Bridge.- The existing piers were enlarged by concrete encasement to elevation RIVERS AND HARBORS-BONNEVILLE, OREG., DISTRICT 1841 + 79. As a protection against ice and drift, piers 2 and 3 were equipped with wooden fenders around piers filled with rock riprap. The total costs and expenditures were $250,571.34. Hood River Bridge.-Piers8 and 9 were encased in concrete to ele- vation + 88, equipped with steel noses for ice protection, and their bases protected from scour by approximately 3,500 cubic yards of rock riprap which was dumped around each pier. The total costs and expenditures were $106,225.59. Condition at end of fiscal year.-All work was performed by the bridge owners. The work on the bridge at Cascade locks is 35 per- cent complete; at Hood River, 40 percent complete. All work below the elevation of the Bonneville pool (step one) was completed. The total costs and expenditures to date amounted to $356,796.93, all for new work. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1938, $13,- 203.07, together with $153,000 allotted July 1, 1938, will be applied to reimubursing the owner of the bridge across the Columbia River at Hood River, Oreg., for the balance of initial work and for completing the alteration of that bridge to render navigation for ocean-going ves- sels in the pool formed by the Bonneville Dam reasonably free, easy, and unobstructed, and for reimbursing the owner of the bridge at Cascade locks for certain engineering and administrative costs. The additional sum of $550,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 to reimburse the owner of the bridge across the Columbia River at Cascade locks, Oreg., for completing the alteration of that bridge to render navigation for ocean-going vessels in the pool formed by the Bonneville Dam reasonably free, easy, and unobstructed.

THE DALLES-CELILO CANAL, OREG. AND WASH. Location.--This improvement embraces about 12 miles of the Co- lumbia River between The Dalles and Celilo, Oreg. (See U. S. Geo- logical Survey Map of Oregon.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of Au- gust 18, 1894. The total cost and expenditure was $47,112.83 for ex- aminations and surveys. For further details, see page 1993 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for open-river improvement from the foot of Threemile Rapids to the foot of The Dalles (Fivemile) Rapids, and a continuous canal on the Oregon shore from the foot of The Dalles (Fivemile) Rapids to the head of Celilo Falls, the canal to have a depth of 8 feet, width of 65 feet at the bottom, and length of 81/2 miles, with five locks, as follows: Detailed information of locks Dimensions Lift Avail- Miles from Great- able lower Lock Foundation est depth WhenCost en- avail- Clear Low High oner pleted trance a blefor width tranlefosill water water sill full width Feet Feet Feet Feet Feet 0 Tandems locks 1 Rock - 265. 0 45. 0 70. 0 22. 0 7. 0 1915 $477, 600 1. 6 Fivemile lock ____________do ___ __ 265.0 45. 0 12.0 15.0 7.0 1915 246, 700 5. 2 Tenmile lock 2____________do _ 265.0 50.0 -. - 7. 5 7.0 1915 149, 600 8. 1 Celilo lock 2 -_ - do 265. 0 45.0 - . 6. 5 7. 0 1915 103, 200 1 2 chambers in flight. 2 Not used at low water. There are no dams in the canal. The lower end of the canal is about 4 miles and the lower end of the Threemile Rapids about 11/2 The normal river freshets at the lower end of the canal reach a stage of 45 feet and the highest flood 70 feet above low water. At the upper end of the canal the normal freshets are about 18 feet and the maximum rise 33 feet. The canal was designed to operate to a stage of 18 feet at the upper pool and is then "drowned out" until the river recedes to a stage of 18 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1908, was $4,845,000, exclusive of amount expended on previous projects. The estimate of annual cost of operation and care, made in 1936, is $49,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1905 (Annual Report, 1904, p. 3475). Operation and care RIVERS AND HARBORS-BONNEVILLE, OREG., DISTRICT 1843 of the canal were included in the project July 1, 1935, under the provisions of the Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act approved June 26, 1934. For latest published map see Annual Report for 1915, page 3380. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are two warehouses fronting on the Dalles-Celilo Canal, near the lower end, owned by private interests, with a combined capacity of 15,000 tons of wheat. At The Dalles, Oreg., a boat terminal has been built by the city, consisting of a pile and timber wharf, 125 by 1,100 feet, with two one-story timber and corrugated iron warehouses, each 94 by 161 feet. Warehouses are equipped with marine elevators. An oil terminal at The Dalles has been constructed by the city, consisting of a timber wharf, 27 by 193 feet, on crib and reinforced concrete foundations. Storage tanks have been constructed near this terminal by private interests, with a total capacity of 1,334,000 gallons. The existing facilities are con- sidered sufficient for the needs of the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The canal was in serv- ice throughout the fiscal year except for closure on February 14 for minor repairs to lock gate valve. In addition to ordinary operation and care of the locks and grounds, the following items of work were accomplished by hired labor.

COLUMBIA RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES ABOVE CELILO FALLS TO THE MOUTH OF SNAKE RIVER, OREG. AND WASH. Location.-This improvement includes the several rapids in the 123 miles between the head of Celilo Falls and the mouth of Snake River. For general description of Columbia River see page 1740. (See U. S. Geological Survey Map of Washington.) RIVERS AND HARBORS--BONNEVILLE, OREG., DISTRICT 1845 Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 10, 1872, and modified by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1907. The cost and expenditures under this project were $494,610.90 for new work and $100,829.65 for maintenance, a total of $595,440.55, prior to the adoption of the existing project in 1935. In addition, $25,000 was expended from contributed funds for new work. For further details of previous projects see page 1992 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1889, Annual Report for 1931. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 7 feet deep and 150 feet wide at low water from Celilo Falls to Wallula, with no specified width or depth between Wallula and the mouth of the Snake. The section included in the project is 123 miles long. The lower end of the project is about 200 miles from the mouth of the river. The summer freshets occur from May to August and the ordinary freshets reach a stage of 21 feet at' Umatilla gage. The highest flood (1894) reached a stage of 341/2 feet at Umatilla. Freshets due to rains usually occur in the early winter, but rarely exceed a 9-foot stage. Ice conditions usually occur in January or February and often suspend navigation for several weeks. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, is $1,475,000, exclusive of amount expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $50,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Act Work authorized Documents Rivers and Harbors Apr. 8, 1935 Emergency Relief Appropriation Act; authorized the existing Committee Doc. No. project as an emergency relief project. 16, 73d Cong., 2d Aug. 30, 1935 Adopted existing project as a river and harbor project............ sess. (Contains lat- est published map.) Terminal facilities.-There are no wharves on this stretch of river nor any large warehouses on the river banks. At Umatilla Landing there is a small portable warehouse. There is a railroad on each bank of the river but there is no physical connection between the railroads and the river. The existing facilities are considered sufficient for the needs of the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year-Regular funds-New work.-Work under the contract awarded in July 1936 for dredging a channel 150 feet wide and 7 feet deep at low water between mile 66 and mile 85, the head of Devils Bend Rapids, was completed in June 1938. During the fiscal year 63,273.48 cubic yards of gravel and 19,744.22 cubic yards of rock were removed from Millers Drift and Devils Bend Rapids, respectively. Work was continued (with regular funds) during the fiscal year under the contract awarded in August 1935 for dredging a channel 150 feet wide and 7 feet deep at low water between Celilo Falls and mile 66 above. During the fiscal year 9,708.62 cubic yards of gravel and 3,494.61 cubic yards of rock were removed and paid for from regular funds. Maintenance.-Work consisted of survey of shoals, establishment of gages and bench marks, and receiving of profiles of the river at various stages. 1846 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 The total costs of work done during the year amounted to $265,- 250.46, of which $249,941.50 was for new work and $15,308.96 was for maintenance; total expenditures were $250,340.58. Emergency Relief funds--New work.-Work under the contract awarded in August 1935 for dredging a channel 150 feet wide and 7 feet deep at low water between Celilo Falls and mile 66 above was completed in November 1937. During the fiscal year 8,529 cubic yards of rock and 3,030.5 cubic yards of gravel were removed from shoals in the 66-mile stretch, exclusive of work done under regular funds. The costs for new work were $46,606.16, and total expendi- tures were $49,678.96. The total costs for the year, all funds, were $296,547.66 for new work and $15,308.96 for maintenance, a total of $311,856.62. The total expenditures were $300,019.54. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 57 percent complete. As a result of the work under the contracts re- ferred to above, the 7-foot channel, 150 feet wide, has been completed as far as the foot of Umatilla Rapids. The controlling depth over the shoals between the foot of Umatilla Rapids and the mouth of the Snake River is about 4 feet, through Homly Rapids (mile 117), where the width is only 70 feet. Channels in the pools between rap- ids are from 400 to 1,500 feet wide. The only regular navigation on this stretch of the Columbia River during the fiscal year, except by survey boats and contractor's plant, was by a towboat and oil barge, which since December 1936 has made regular trips between Portland and Attalia, Wash., near the mouth of the Walla Walla River, haul- ing petroleum products for distribution in the Spokane, Wash., area. The total costs under the existing project from regular funds were $402,161.36, $386,852.40 for new work and $15,308.96 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $373,644.09. The total costs under the existing project from emergency funds were $400,000 and expenditures were $380,000.01, all for new work. The total costs, all funds, to the end of the fiscal year amounted to $802,161.36, of which $786,852.40 was for new work and $15,308.96 for maintenance; total expenditures were $753,644.10.

SNAKE RIVER, OREG., WASH., AND IDAHO Location.-The Snake River is the largest tributary of Columbia River, and rises in Yellowstone National Park, in the western part of Wyoming, flows in a general westerly direction for about 1,000 miles and empties into Columbia River near Pasco, Wash., 324 miles from the Pacific Ocean. (See U. S. Geological Survey Maps of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.) Previous projects.-No formal project for the improvement of Snake River was adopted by Congress prior to the act of June 13, 1902. The total cost and expenditure prior to the adoption of the existing project in 1907 was $168,500, of which $153,410.26 was for new work and $15,089.74 for maintenance. For further details of previous projects see page 1991 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for general open-river improve- ment by blasting rock reefs, dredging and raking gravel bars, and by construction of contraction works between the mouth and Johnsons Bar, a distance of 232 miles, with a view to securing a depth of 5 feet at low water in the existing channels from the mouth to Riparia; thence a channel of the same depth and generally 60 feet wide to Lewiston, Idaho; and for removing boulders and rock points and constructing contraction works between Lewiston and Johnsons Bar. No channel dimensions are specified above Lewiston. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, is $327,500, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $10,500. The existing project was adopted by the following river and har- bor acts: Act Work authorized Documents and reports June 13,1902 Improvement of the sections from Riparia to H.

No. 25, 72d Cong. 1st sess. (Contains latest published map.) 1850 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 Local cooperation.-No conditions were imposed by law. The Washington State Legislature in 1907 provided $85,000, which was expended by the Federal Government between Riparia, Wash., and the mouth, for general open-river work in accordance with the adopted project. Terminal facilities.-Fromthe mouth to Riparia, 67 miles, there are no wharves or warehouses on the river banks. From Riparia to Lewiston, 72 miles, there are no wharves, but on the left bank there are several wheat warehouses for storage of wheat to be transferred to the railroad on the right bank. There is no railroad on the left bank above Riparia, so that the wheat has to be transferred by river steamers to the railroad on the right bank. Lewiston, a city with pop- ulation of 9,403, 139 miles above the mouth, owns 4,000 feet of water frontage on the Snake River and has leased 250 feet to a warehouse company which operates a warehouse located on the bank of the river, but no part of the structure extends to the low-water line and the boats land on the beach. Asotin, a town with population of 697, 6 miles above Lewiston, has three warehouses on the river bank, but no wharves. Above Asotin there are two wheat warehouses, the farthest 11 miles above. The existing facilities are considered sufficient for the needs of the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Work was carried on by Government plant and hired labor between July 1, 1937, and De- cember 1, 1937 in the stretches of Snake River between Lewiston and Johnsons Bar. This work consisted of the removal of rocks and pin- nacles in the navigation channel and repair of the contraction dike at Slaughter House Rapids near Lewiston, Idaho. During the season 1,410 cubic yards of rock and gravel were blasted and raked from the channel and 750 cubic yards of gravel were placed in the dike. The cost of the work was $4,095.63, all for maintenance. Total expendi- tures were $4,062.58. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 86 percent completed. A survey was made in 1934-35. The controlling depth, at mean low water, on the shoals between the mouth of the river and Riparia (67 miles) is 0.4 foot at one point (Haunted Houise Rapids, 42 miles above the mouth) ; between Riparia and Lewiston (72 miles), 0.9 foot at one point (Log Cabin Rapids, 107 miles above the mouth); between Lewiston and Pittsburg Landing (76 miles), about 2.7 feet; from Pittsburg Landing to Johnsons Bar (14 miles), about 2.8 feet. The adopted low-water plane is the average of the lowest 15-day period of record (-0.3 on Lewiston gage). The channels below Lewiston are from 150 to 700 feet wide in the pools and from 30 to 150 feet wide through the rapids. Above Lewiston the channels are, at mean low water, from 30 to 100 feet wide. From the mouth to Riparia, on account of the crooked and shoal channels through the rapids, com- mercial navigation has been limited to stages above 3 feet on the Lewiston gage, which permits a 4-foot draft to Lewiston. The river is above the 3-foot stage about 54 percent of the time. Between Riparia and a point about 12 miles above Lewiston navigation is usu- ally continuous, except during extreme low water, which, however, does not occur every year. Above the Grand Ronde River (30 miles above Lewiston) navigation has not been possible at low stages. As a result of the channel work performed during the fiscal year, naviga- RIVERS AND HARBORS-BONNEVILLE, OREG., DISTRICT 1851 tion by the high-powered launches which operate above Lewiston as far as Johnsons Bar has been possible at about a 1-foot stage on the gage at Lewiston. Navigation during the past 10 years has been limited to the operation of one steamboat, used for transferring wheat, and the operation of one or two gasoline boats during favorable stages of the river from Lewiston to Johnsons Bar, a distance of about 90 miles. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the removal of dangerous rocks above Lewiston and the widening and deepening of the existing channels to project dimensions, which con- template a depth of 5 feet from the mouth to Lewiston, and removal of obstructions between Pittsburg Landing and Johnsons Bar. The total cost of the existing project amounted to $338,652.80, of which $166,873.19 was for new work and $171,779.61 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $338,647.20.

Location.--Willapa Harbor consists of the lower reaches of Wil- lapa River and Willapa Bay, an inlet of the Pacific Ocean located :about 30 miles north of the mouth of Columbia River. Willapa River rises in the State of Washington, about 30 miles east of the harbor, flows in a general westerly direction, and empties into the bay. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6185.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 13, 1892, and modified by the River and Harbor Acts of August 18, 1894, March 3, 1899, June 13, 1902, March 2, 1907, and June 25, 1910. The cost and expenditures on original and modified projects prior to the adoption of the existing project in 1916 were $228,083.83 for new work and $7,176.62 for maintenance, a total of $235,260.45. Con- tributed funds for new work amounted to $6,596.92. For further details of previous projects adopted prior to June 25, 1910, see page 2001 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for a channel over the bar at the mouth of Willapa Bay, 26 feet deep at mean lower low water, with a minimum width of 500 feet; for straightening the river channel at the Narrows about a mile downstream from Raymond by a cut-off channel 200 feet wide, 24 feet deep, and about 3,100 feet long; and for a channel 24 feet deep and 200 feet wide from deep water in Willapa Bay to the forks of the river at Raymond, 24 feet deep and 150 feet wide up the South Fork as far as the deep basin above the Cram lumber mill, and up the North Fork to a point opposite Twelfth Street, with a turning basin 250 feet wide, 350 feet long, and 24 feet deep at the latter point and a closing dike at Mailboat Slough. The length of the section included in the project is 26 miles. The extreme tidal range at Willapa Bay entrance is 13.6 feet. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 8.1 feet at the entrance and 9.8 feet at South Bend. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $800,732, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects but including $71,775 contributed by local interests. The latest (1934) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $135,000, including $5,000 annually for the first 4 years of the cut-off channel at the Narrows. The river channels were authorized by the River and Harbor Act of July 27, 1916 (H. Doc. No. 706, 63d Cong., 2d sess.).

S. ARMY, 1938 Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are 6 sawmill wharves, 2 city wharves, 1 port wharf, 1 railway wharf, and 2 oil wharves on Willapa River. The city, port, and railway wharves are open to general public use. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging in the bar channel was continued intermittently by the U. S. dredges Mackenzie and Michie, a total of 5 dredge-months, removing 1,056,815 cubic yards, and the U. S. dredge Pacific removed 169,306 cubic yards from the river channels in January and February 1938. The total costs were $123,083.29, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $115,258.01. Condition at end of f scal year.-The existing project was completed in 1936 at a saving of $14,686 under the estimated cost. The dikes constructed under previous projects are in good condition. A survey completed June 24, 1938, showed a controlling depth of 20 feet over width of 1,000 feet across the bar. The controlling depths in the river channels when last ascertained were as follows: Below Raymond, 23 feet in May 1937; North Fork, 24 feet to State highway bridge in February 1938; South Fork, 24 feet to within 500 feet of the Northern Pacific Railway bridge, thence 19 feet to that bridge, in January 1938. Above the bridges across the forks no soundings have been taken in recent years, as there has been no navigation above these bridges. The total costs on the existing project to June 30, 1938, have been as follows: United States funds New work Maintenance Total Regular -------------------------- ------------------------ $521, 957. 42 $923, 554.39 $1, 445, 511. 81 Public Works---------------------- 78, 533. 00 78, 533.00 Emergency Relief__________________________---___ 192, 314.06 -------- 192, 314. 06 Total United States funds______-_______________________ Contributed funds funds------------------------------ --- 714, 271.48 71, 775. 00 1, 002, 087.39 - -l 1,716, 358.87 71, 775.00 Total all funds---------------- -- ---- 786, 046.48 1, 002, 087. 39 1, 788, 133. 87 The total expenditures were $1,687,441.05, of which $1,416,593.99 were regular funds, $78,533 Public Works funds, and $192,314.06 Emergency Relief funds. In addition, $71,775 was expended from contributed funds.

Location.-Grays Harbor lies at the mouth of Chehalis River, in the southwestern part of the State of Washington, 45 miles north of the entrance to Columbia River. The inner portion comprises two main channels, the south and the north, connecting the harbor proper with the Chehalis River at Aberdeen. Chehalis River rises in the southwestern part of the State of Washington, about 40 miles east of the Pacific Ocean, flows in a general northwesterly direction, and empties into the eastern part of Grays Harbor. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6195.) Previous projects.-The original project for the Chehalis River was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 2, 1882. The 1864 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 original project for the inner harbor was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 13, 1892. The costs and expenditures on both projects prior to the adoption of the existing project in 1907 and 1910 were $113,134.38 for new work and $37,415.45 for maintenance, a total of $150,549.83. For further details see pages 2002-2003 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel across the bar 600 feet wide and 30 feet deep, to be secured by a south jetty 13,734 feet long and a north jetty 16,000 feet long, both at an eleva- tion of 16 feet above mean lower low water and by dredging; for a channel 26 feet deep at mean lower low water from deep water in Grays Harbor to the Union Pacific Railroad bridge across Chehalis River at Aberdeen, a distance of 151/2 miles, 350 feet wide to Grays Harbor City, thence 200 to 350 feet wide to the bridge; thence 18 feet deep and 200 feet wide to Cosmopolis, a distance of 3 miles, and for a channel 16 feet deep at mean lower low water and 150 feet wide from Cosmopolis to Montesano, a distance of 103/4 miles. The extreme tidal ranges are 14.4 feet on the bar and 18 feet in the harbor. The ranges between mean lower low water and mean higher high water are 9.1 feet on the bar and 9.9 feet in the harbor. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, is $3,229,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, but inclusive of $211,500 to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1935) ap- proved estimate for annual cost of maintenance dredging in the section below Aberdeen is $270,000. Local interests are to maintain the work above Aberdeen.

Harbor, inner portion, and Chehalis River, under a modified project for Grays Harbor and Chehalis River. 1 Contains latest published map. Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, adopting the 16-foot channel, provides that local interests contribute one-half the first cost, estimated at $211,500, and give assurances sat- isfactory to the Secretary of War and Chief of Engineers that they will assume the entire cost of maintenance of same, and provide a suit- RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 1865 able public terminal at Montesano. These assurances have been given and $35,834.27 contributed, which was expended in 1931 with an equal amount of Government funds in securing a 12-foot channel to Monte- sano, the remaining contribution necessary to complete the project being deferred until a later date, as approved by the Secretary of Wart March 18, 1931. The River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, provides that the Grays Harbor Port Commission shall continue to remove all snags and deadheads from the channels, shall furnish free of cost to the United States suitable areas for the disposal of dredged material as and when needed, and shall assist in the work of maintenance by loaning to the United States, when not required on the work of the commission, its pipe-line dredge without charge other than reim- bursement to the Port of Grays Harbor Commissioners for the operat- ing costs of the dredge on a basis approved by the Chief of Engineers; pay one-half the first cost of enlarging the channel above Cosmopolis, and maintain the channels above the Union Pacific Railroad bridge at Aberdeen. Terminal facilities.-There are 36 wharves and piers in Grays Har- bor and adjacent inland waters, of which 18 are sawmill wharves, 1 pulp and paper mill wharf, 10 industrial wharves, 5 miscellaneous wharves, and 2 port terminals, the last 2 being open to the general public. These facilities are considered adequate for existing com- merce. (For further details see Port Series No. 7, pt. 3, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging was continued intermittently by the U. S. dredges Kingman and Michie a total of 91/2 dredge-months, 1,567,507 cubic yards being removed from the bar channel and 785,838 cubic yards from the inner channel, at a cost of $244,934.24. Maintenance dredging was done in the 26-foot channel below Aberdeen with leased plant, 112,460 cubic yards being removed at a cost of $8,965.77. Under continuing con- tract, the reconstruction of the south jetty was continued, 552,822.78 tons of rock being placed at a cost of $1,202,778.06. The total costs were $1,456,678.07, all for maintenance, and the total expenditures were $1,517,261.89. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 88 percent completed. The south jetty was completed in 1902 with a groin at station 1050. The inner 6,900 feet is at elevation plus 20. The next 1,000 feet is in various stages of reconstruction. Beyond this the old enrockment is very irregular, varying from 1 to 10 feet below datum, with an average elevation of about 7 feet below datum. The north jetty was completed to midtide elevation in December 1913. It was later restored and raised to or above ordinary high water, this work being completed in January 1916. The present enrockment slopes from about 12 feet above datum at the high-water shore line to eleva- tion zero in about 900 feet. From this point it falls in an irregular manner to 3 feet below datum in the next 2,600 feet and remains at about this elevation of minus 3 for about 3,300 feet. The last 400, feet of jetty enrockment are at about 1 foot below datum. The 26-foot channel previously dredged by the Port of Grays Harbor below Aberdeen was redredged in 1934, 1936, and 1937, the 18-foot channel below Cosmopolis and 6-foot channel between Cos- 1866 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 mopolis and Montesano were completed in 1910, and the latter was deepened to 12 feet in 1931. The controlling depths when last ascertained were as follows: Bar channel 31 feet over a width of 250 feet on the bar range, 27 feet by 350 feet on the entrance range (July 1, 1938); inner harbor and river channel below Aberdeen, 23 feet (June 1938); Aberdeen to Cos- mopolis, 21 feet (October 1929); Cosmopolis to Montesano, 10 feet (1934). The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project is increasing the channel depth between Cosmopolis and Montesano to 16 feet. The costs of the existing project under regular appropriations have been $2,842,015.86 for new work and $5,884,794.41 for main- tenance, a total of $8,726,810.27, and the total expenditures have been $8,593,233.96. The costs and expenditures from Public Works funds for maintenance dredging have been $57,000. The costs and expenditures from emergency relief funds have been $409,659.55, all for maintenance. The total costs, all Federal funds, have been $2,842,015.86 for new work and $6,351,453.96 for maintenance, a combined total of $9,193,- 469.82. The total expenditures have been $9,059,893.51. In addition, $35,834.27 has been expended from contributed funds for new work and $47,889.45 for maintenance, a total of $83,723.72.

Location.-This river is formed by the junction of the Soleduck and Bogachiel Rivers, and flows westerly 5 miles to the Pacific Ocean at La Push, Wash., about 30 miles south of Cape Flattery. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6102.) Existing project.-This provides for a jetty on the easterly side of the mouth, and a dike, with groins, on the westerly side, with a view to stabilizing the entrance channel. The length of the section included in the project is 1,500 feet. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 8.8 feet. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1931, is $84,000 and $4,000 annually for maintenance during the first 2 years and $1,000 annually thereafter. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930 (H. Doc. No. 125, 71st Cong., 1st sess.). This document contains the latest published map of the locality. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are no dockage facilities other than landing places for small boats. 1868 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 Operations and results during fiscal year.-Preliminaryoperations with view to reconstruction of the jetty by hired labor and rented plant were commenced June 13, 1938. The cost was $901.80, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $173.69. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 80 percent completed. The construction of the jetty and dike was commenced April 1931 and completed in October 1931. The groins were omitted. A survey in June 1938 showed that the center of the dike had settled over a distance of about 200 feet, the greatest settlement being to eleva- tion +2 feet. About 350 feet of the jetty had settled, the greatest. settlement being to elevation -9 feet. A gravel bar has formed in the middle of the entrance channel to a crest elevation of 12.3 feet above mean lower low water. Controlling depth in the channel between the gravel bar and the dike is - 0.5. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is construc- tion of the groins based on the dike and James Island. The costs have been $68,000 for new work and $33,509.35 for main- tenance, a total of $101,509.35. The expenditures have been $100,781.24. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1938, $14,826.31, will be applied to maintenance, reconstructing the jetty by hired labor and rented plant, July and August 1938. No additional funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940, as the proposed groins are not needed at present, and no maintenance of the completed structures should be necessary during that time.

NEAH BAY, WASH. Location.-Neah Bay is on the south side of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, 5 miles east of Cape Flattery, at the entrance to the strait from the Pacific Ocean. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 6102 and 6265.) Existing project.-This provides for a rubblestone breakwater ap- proximately 8,000 feet long between Waadah Island and the westerly shore of the bay. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 8.1 feet. The extreme range is about 14.5 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1937, is $1,500,000, with maintenance estimated at $10,000 annually. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 20, 1938 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Document No. 51, 75th Cong., 2d sess.). This document contains the latest published map. Local cooperatio.-Localinterests are required to furnish all neces- sary rights-of-way, free of cost to the United States. No steps have been taken to obtain rights-of-way but they can be secured within 2 months time. Terminal facilities.-There are four wharves in Neah Bay, includ- ing the launchway of the United States Coast Guard, which is also used as a wharf, and three privately owned wharves, one of which is open to general public use. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done under this project. Proposed operations.--No funds are available, and no operations are proposed during the fiscal year 1939. The sum of $500,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940, commencing the construction of the breakwater, under con- tract, and continuing throughout the year.

PUGET SOUND AND ITS TRIBUTARY WATERS, WASH. Location.-Puget Sound is located in the western part of the State of Washington. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 6300, 6450, and 6460.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 2, 1882. The total cost and expenditure was $67,495.58 for 1870 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 maintenance prior to adoption of the existing project in 1892. For further details see page 2003 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for maintenance of the rivers tributary to Puget Sound by snagging and dredging. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $25,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 13, 1892. (Annual Report for 1893, p. 3425.) The latest pub- lished map is in the Annual Report for 1913, page 3127. Terminal facilities.-The terminal facilities at the numerous local- ities on Puget Sound and its tributary waters are in general con- sidered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The U. S. snag boat W. T. Preston operated 11 months in the waters tributary to Puget Sound, removing 998 snags, 415 piles, and dredging 55,710 cubic yards of material. The work was done by hired labor at a cost of $24,- 658.77, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $22,039.39. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The work has consisted chiefly of snagging and dredging in the principal tributaries of Puget Sound. No permanent results are obtainable, but the maintenance of existing channels requires practically continuous operation of the snag boat. The controlling depths range from 1 to 40 feet at mean lower low water. The costs have been $43,336.92 for new work and $830,854.33 for maintenance, a total of $874,191.25. The total ex- penditures have been $871,552.87. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1938, $38,- 537, will be applied to maintenance, as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1938----------------------------------$2, 638.38 Operation of the U.

WATERWAY CONNECTING PORT TOWNSEND BAY AND OAK BAY, WASH. Location.-The canal connects two bays which are arms of Ad. miralty Inlet, on the west side of Puget Sound, in the northwestern part of the State of Washington, about 40 miles north of Seattle. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6405.) Existing project.-This provides for a canal 15 feet deep at mean lower low water, 75 feet wide on the bottom and about 4,800 feet long, and for the construction of jetties to protect the channel at the southern or Oak Bay end, and a bulkhead for the retention of dredged material. The extreme tidal range is 16 feet. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 8.8 feet in Port Townsend Bay and 9.6 feet in Oak Bay. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1915, was $77,500. The latest (1918) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $5,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 4, 1913 (H. Doc. No. 625, 62d Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is in the Annual Report for 1915, page 3441. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are no terminal facilities directly served by the canal. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Shoals were removed by dredging 3,270 cubic yards, and repairs were made to the jetties by placing 393 cubic yards of rock, October 7 to November 5, 1937, by Government plant and hired labor. The total costs and expenditures were $3,800, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1915 at a saving of $4,178 under the estimated cost. Shoal- ing was removed by hired dredge in 1916 and 1920, by contract in 1930, and by Government plant in 1932 and 1937. Repairs to the bulkhead on the west side of the channel were made during the fiscal years 1922, 1923, 1925, and 1928, and to the jetties in 1925 and 1937. A survey completed April 7, 1938, showed a controlling depth of 11 1872 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 feet over the full width. The costs and expenditures have been $73,322.35 for new work and $53,323.42 for maintenance, a total of $126,645.77. Proposed operations.-No funds are available, and no operations are proposed during the fiscal years 1939 and 1940, as no maintenance should be necessary during that time.

HAMMERSLEY INLET, WASH. Location.-This inlet, connecting Puget Sound with Shelton Har- bor, an arm of Oakland Bay, is located about 10 miles northwest of Olympia, Wash. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6460.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 13 feet deep at mean lower low water and 150 feet wide from the entrance of the inlet to Shelton, a distance of about 7 miles. The extreme tidal range is about 21 feet. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 14 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1909, was $9,000. No approved estimate for annual maintenance has been made. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 25, 1910 (H. Doc. No. 213, 61st Cong., 2d sess.). This document contains the latest published map of the locality. Terminal facilities.-There are eight wharves at Shelton, of which three are sawmill wharves, one pulp-mill wharf, two oil wharves, one used jointly for oil and miscellaneous cargo, and one to which a float is attached for mooring and servicing small craft. This float is open to public use on equal terms. These facilities are considered.adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-There were no opera- tions except office work. The costs were $55.85, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $82.21. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 1873 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1912, except for one shoal on which the controlling depth was 10 feet. Dredging done on this shoal in May 1937 failed to in- crease this depth on account of hardpan which the dredge was unable to remove, but the dredging on an adjacent shoal restored project depth in the remainder of the inlet. The costs and expenditures have been $9,000 for new work and $9,000 for maintenance, a total of $18,000. Proposed operations.-No funds are available, and no operations are proposed during the fiscal years 1939 and 1940, as existing depths are sufficient for the present needs of navigation.

OLYMPIA HARBOR, WASH. Lo}cation.-This harbor is near the southern end of Puget Sound at the head of Budd Inlet, about 45 miles southwest of Tacoma. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6462.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of July 13, 1892, and June 25, 1910. The costs and expenditures on this light-draft project prior to the adoption in 1927 of the existing project for a ship channel were $183,256.52 for new work and $14,417.87 for maintenance, a total of $197,674.39. For further details see page 1369 of Annual Report for 1934. Existing project.-This provides for a channel on the east side of the harbor, between deep water in Budd Inlet and the port terminal, 30 feet deep at mean lower low water and 500 to 300 feet wide, with suitable additional width at the bend, and a turning basin adjacent to the port terminal 30 feet deep, 3,000 feet long, and 300 to 800 feet wide. The extreme tidal range is 21 feet. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 14.4 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, is $278,300, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,500. 1874 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

(Contains latest published map.) 1 Included in Public Works Administration program. Terminal facilities.-There are 15 wharves in Olympia Harbor, of which 1 publicly owned terminal serving deep-draft vessels and 1 privately owned accommodating light-draft vessels are open to public use; 13 privately owned and used for industrial purposes accommo- date only barges and very light-draft vessels. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. (For further details see Port Series No. 23, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-Specifications for wid- ening the entrance channel to 500 feet and enlarging the turning basin were prepared and advertised. No costs or expenditures were charged to this project. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 65 percent completed. A channel 30 feet deep and 300 feet wide and a turning basin 30 feet deep, 2,000 feet long, and 800 feet wide were completed in 1934, and these dimensions still obtained at the latest survey made in May 1938. The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project is the widening of the entrance channel to 500 feet and en- larging the turning basin as authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937. The costs and expenditures have been $180,221.78 for new work, including $105,467 Public Works funds, and $69.85 for maintenance, a total of $180,291.63. Proposed operations.-An allotment of $98,000, made during July 1938 will be applied to new work, completing the project by dredging under contract, September to November 1938. No additional funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940, as no material shoaling is anticipated.

TACOMA HARBOR, WASH. Location.-This harbor is 30 miles south of Seattle and embraces Commencement Bay and tributary waterways. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6451.) Previous project.-The project for the Puyallup Waterway was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1905, and aban- doned by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935. The costs and expenditures on this project were $159,584.46 for new work and $4,415.54 for maintenance, a total of $164,000. For further details see pages 1372 to 1376 of Annual Report for 1934. Existing project.-This provides for (a) a city waterway having a channel 500 feet wide and 29 feet deep at mean lower low water from deep water in Commencement Bay to the Eleventh Street Bridge, 500 feet wide and 22 feet deep to the Fourteenth Street Bridge, and varying from 500 to 250 feet wide and 19 feet deep from the Fourteenth Street Bridge to the end of this waterway, a total length of 8,500 feet; (b) for a channel in Hylebos Waterway 200 feet wide and 30 feet deep from Commencement Bay to the bend below Lincoln Avenue, thence 150 feet wide and 30 feet deep to a turning basin of the same depth at the inner end, 410 feet wide and 900 feet average length; (c) construction of two training walls, each about 700 feet long, at the mouth of Puyallup River; and (d) maintenance of a channel in Wapato Waterway 700 feet wide and 34 feet deep over such length as shall have been dredged by local interests to dimen- sions stated. The extreme tidal range is 18.8 feet. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 11.8 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, is $437,800, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest approved estimates for annual cost of maintenance are as follows: City Waterway (1928), $5,000; Hylebos Waterway (1937), $2,000; Wapato Waterway (1933), $1,000; Puyallup River training walls (1933), $2,500. 101110---pt. 1-vol. 2-38-----55 1876 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Doc. No. 167, 72d Cong., 1st sess. Local cooperation.--Underthe provisions of the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 local interests are required to furnish neces- sary rights-of-way and suitable bulkheaded areas for disposal of dredged material. It is believed that these conditions will be met when funds are available for the work. All prior requirements have been fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are 62 wharves and piers at Tacoma. Of these, 19 are located on Commencement Bay, 21 on city waterway, 3 on middle waterway, 4 on Milwaukee waterway, 7 on Wapato water- way, and 8 on Hylebos waterway. Twenty-five of them, with 20,841 feet of berthing space, are suitable for the use of ocean-going car- riers; 9 of this class, 2 of which are publicly owned, are general cargo terminals, and 1 serves a publicly owned grain elevator, all 10 being open to public use on equal terms. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. (For further details see Port Series No. 7, pt. 2, Corps of Engineers.) Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 74 percent completed. The city waterway was completed in 1905. The cost of new work on this waterway has been $150,018.58 and of maintenance, $113,593.57, a total of $263,612.15, not including $5,000 expended for maintenance from contributed funds. A survey in March 1937 showed controlling depths as follows: Below South Eleventh Street, 28 feet; South Eleventh to South Fourteenth Streets, 20 feet; South Fourteenth to South Twenty-first Streets, 17 feet. The section above South Twenty-first Street was redredged to project depth of 19 feet in February 1937. The originally authorized channel in Hylebos Waterway 200 feet wide and 30 feet deep from Commencement Bay to the bend at Lincoln Avenue, a distance of about 10,000 feet, thence 150 feet wide and 26 feet deep to the head of the waterway, a distance of about 3,000 feet, was completed in 1931. The cost of this waterway has been $124,085.51 for new work and $8,987.88 for maintenance, a total of $133,073.39. A survey in May 1938 showed controlling depths as follows: Below East Eleventh Street, 30 feet; Eleventh Street to Lincoln Avenue, 26 feet; above Lincoln Avenue, 22 feet except for additional shoaling in upper 150 feet. The two training walls at the mouth of Puyallup River were com- pleted in 1934 at a cost and expenditure of $51,609.12, all for new work. The walls are in good condition. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 1877 No maintenance work has beenrdone by the Government on Wapato Waterway. The latest survey made in April 1937 showed a control- ling depth of 32.6 feet over a width of about 600 feet in the lower 1,600 feet of the waterway, thence a channel 100 feet wide with minimum depth of 17 feet extended southerly along the westerly margin of the waterway for about 1,700 feet; the remaining area of the waterway has not been improved, and depths therein vary from 14 feet below mean lower low water to about 8 feet above that datum. The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project is to deepen the channel in Hylebos Waterway to 30 feet from the bend below Lincoln Avenue to the head of the waterway, and to dredge the turning basin at the inner end, authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved August 26, 1937. The costs and expenditures have been $325,713.21 for new work in- cluding $51,609.12 Public Works funds, and $122,581.45 for mainte- nance, a total of $448,294.66, not including $5,000 contributed funds for maintenance. Proposed operations.--An allotment of $112,000 made during July 1938, will be applied to new work, completing the existing project by deepening the channel in Hylebos Waterway to 30 feet from the bend below Lincoln Avenue to the head of the waterway and dredging the turning basin at the inner end, by contract, October 1938, to January 1939. The additional sum of $25,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for maintenance dredging in the city waterway, by contract, during December 1939.

The chief anchorage basin is Elliott Bay, an arm of Puget Sound, 30 miles north of Tacoma. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6445.) Existing project.-This provides for maintenance of the east and west waterways to a depth of 34 feet at mean lower low water, with a width of 750 feet for distances of 6,500 and 5,200 feet, respectively, from the pierhead line in Elliott Bay; -for the maintenance of east waterway between the upper end of the 750-foot section and Spokane Street, 34 feet deep, 700 feet long and 400 feet wide, and of a turning basin, including the head of the east waterway at the junction of the waterways south of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Rail- way bridge, to a depth of 30 feet, after these sections of the waterway have been dredged by local interests to full project dimensions; and for dredging the Duwamish Waterway 200 feet wide and 30 feet deep at mean lower low water between the west waterway and First Avenue South, 150 by 20 feet between First and Eighth Avenues South, thence 150 by 15 feet to a point about 1.4 miles above Fourteenth Avenue South Bridge, with a turning basin 600 by 350 feet and 20 feet deep just south of the First Avenue South Bridge, and a turning basin 500 by 250 feet and 15 feet deep and settling basin with capacity of about 100,000 cubic yards at the upper end of the waterway, a distance of 27,060 feet, or 5.12 miles. The total length of waterways included under the project is about 71/2 miles. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 11.28 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1930, was $381,000, of which $140,476 was to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1935) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $4,750 for the east waterway, $6,000 (revised in 1928) for the west waterway, and $48,000 (made in 1922) for the Duwamish Waterway.

Of these, 32 general cargo terminals and. 3 grain terminals are open to public use on equal terms, 13 of the former and 1 of the latter being RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 1879, publicly owned. These facilities are believed to be adequate for the existing commerce. (For further details see Port Series No. 7, pt. 1, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging in Duwamish Waterway from a point about 500 feet below Four- teenth Avenue South to the head of the waterway was commenced under contract June 27, 1938, and about 12,000 cubic yards were removed to the end of the month. The costs were $1,195.53, all for new work. The expenditures were $1,011.75. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1931, except the settling basin. The controlling depths when last ascertained were as follows: In the 750-foot section of east waterway, 34 feet over a width of 600 feet for the northerly 3,200 feet in August 1937, 34 feet in the remaining portion except in the southwest corner and along east side and on a narrow shoal with a depth of 32 feet in the middle of the waterway in November 1934; west waterway, 34 feet over a width of 550 feet in the northerly 2,200 feet, in August 1937, and 34 feet except near sides in April 1932; Duwamish Water- way, in August 1937: Below First Avenue South, 28 feet; First Ave- nue South to Eighth Avenue South, 19 feet; Eighth Avenue South to Fourteenth Avenue South, 14 feet; depths decrease from 14 feet at Fourteenth Avenue South to 2 feet at the head of the waterway. Local interests have practically completed dredging of east waterway above the 750-foot section and of the turning basin at the junction of the waterways to 30 feet. The costs from Federal funds have been $170,334.74 for new work and $237,711.25 for maintenance, a total of $408,045.99, and the expen- ditures $407,862.21.

Operations and results during fiscal year.-The locks were operated throughout the year, and the necessary repairs were made thereto and to the appurtenant structures, all work being done by hired labor. The cost was $98,755.12, all for operation and care. The expenditures were $98,136.92. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1934 at a saving of $15,705 under the estimated cost. The water from the locks into Lake Washington is nontidal and is main- tained at mean elevation of 21 feet above mean lower low tide of Puget Sound, with a maximum variation of 2 feet. The controlling depths ascertained in 1938 were as follows: Below the locks, 33 feet; locks to Lake Washington, 30 feet. The costs have been $3,539,294.87 for new work including $192,- 516.44 Public Works funds, and $388,958.51' for maintenance, includ- ing $280,579.13 for operation and care, a total of $3,928,253.38. The total expenditures have been $3,924,580.95. In addition, the sum of $1,631,195.33 was expended between 1916 and 1936 on the operating and care of the works of improvement, under the provision of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes. In addition, there was expended by the State of Washington $246,- 567.07 and by King County $742,070.51 in the excavation of the channel above the locks and in the construction of concrete revetment at the portage.

EVERETT HARBOR, WASH. Location.-Everett Harbor is located on Port Gardner Bay, at the northern end of Possession Sound, an arm of Puget Sound, 30 miles north of Seattle and 45 miles south of Bellingham. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6448.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 18, 1894, and modified April 23, 1902 (joint resolution of Congress), and by River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1905. The cost and expenditures prior to the adoption of the existing project in 1910 were $418,209.14 for new work and $5,868.63 for maintenance, a total of $424,077.77. For further details, see page 2005 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.--This provides for a training dike in the upper harbor extending from Smith Island to a point opposite Twenty- third Street, with a gap of suitable width at the outlet of Snohomish River Channel and spur dikes to regulate the flow through the gap; for a channel shoreward of the training dike, between the outlet of the main river channel and deep water in the lower harbor, 100 feet wide and 8 feet deep at low water; for a settling basin with a capacity of about 200,000 cubic yards, 1,200 feet long, 700 feet wide, and 12 feet deep at mean lower low water, in the upper harbor in the vicinity of the Fourteenth Street dock; and for a channel throughout that 1884 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 portion of the lower harbor known as East Waterway 30 feet deep at mean lower low water and generally 900 feet wide. The length of channel improvement under this project is 2.5 miles. The extreme tidal range is 18 feet. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 11.1 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1938, is $338,246, exclusive of amounts expended under previous, projects. The latest (1938) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance of the entire project is $16,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 25, 1910 Training dike 10,500 feet long extending across the bar at the H. Doc.

No. 546, 75th Cong., for the settling basin. 3d sess. (Contains latest published map.) Terminal facilities.-There are 20 wharves and piers on Everett Harbor and Snohomish River. Ten are located on Port Gardner Bay and the east waterway, 4 serving ocean-going vessels and 6 serving local commerce, 2 of the former being open to public use. On Sno- homish River and the channel to the gap there are 10 wharves, of which 9 are sawmill wharves and 1 a pulp mill wharf, all serving as terminals for light-draft vessels. These facilities are considered ade- quate for existing commerce. (For further details see Port Series No. 7, pt. 3, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-A shoal in the lower harbor was removed by dredging under contract, February 28 to April 5, 1938, a total of 325,079 cubic yards being removed. The costs and expenditures were $24,100, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 92 percent completed. Dike work was commenced in September 1911 and ter- minated in September 1912, and 6,000 feet of the dike was raised to elevation of 14 feet above mean lower low water in 1931. The dikes are in good condition. The channel between the river outlet and the lower harbor was dredged to 8 feet in 1931. A survey completed in February 1938 showed a controlling depth of 6 feet in the lower mile and 1.2 feet thence to the gap. The dredging of the east waterway has been practically completed by local interests. The work remain- ing to be done to complete the existing project is to dredge the settling basin in the upper harbor. The costs and expenditures have been $310,246.15 for new work and $105,510.96 for maintenance, a total of $415,757.11. Proposed operations.-No funds are available, and no operations are proposed during the fiscal year 1939. The sum of $28,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for new work, completing the project by dredging the set- tling basin, under contract, September 1939.

ARMY, 1938 Operations and results during fiscal year.-The construction of a brush and rock dike in Skagit Bay approximately 6,000 feet long connecting McGlinns Island and Goat Island, to reduce maintenance costs by diverting the flood waters of Skagit River from Swinomish Slough, was commenced under contract June 15, 1938, and 186 cords of brush and 4,167.78 tons of rock were placed to the end of the month, completing 330 linear feet of the dike to an elevation of 11 feet above mean lower low water. The costs were $6,092.56, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $193.08. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1937. A resurvey of the project was made in June 1937. Shoaling has occurred in the southern portion of the channel be- tween Saratoga Passage and the "Hole in the Wall." A limiting depth of 11/2 feet obtains through the "Hole in the Wall." The costs and expenditures have been $409,029.51 for new work and $50,371.63 for maintenance, a total of $459,401.14.

ANACORTES HARBOR, WASH. Location.-Anacortes Harbor is on the northern point of Fidalgo Island in Puget Sound, 17 miles south of Bellingham, Wash., and 64 miles north of Seattle. The main harbor is on Guemes Channel on the north. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6377.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel in Cap Sante Waterway, 12 feet deep at mean lower low water and 150 to 250 feet wide, between the east side of Q Avenue and deep water in Fidalgo Bay, a distance of 2,850 feet. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 8.2 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1927, was $72,000 for that portion between the east side of R Avenue and deep water in Fidalgo Bay, a distance of 2,460 feet, of which amount local interests were required to contribute $24,000. No approved estimate for an- nual maintenance has been made. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1919. (H. Doc. 1117, 64th Cong., 1st sess.). This document contains the latest published map of the locality. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There is 1 publicly owned terminal on Cap Sante Waterway, which is open to the public use. On Guemes Channel, Burroughs Bay, and Fidalgo Bay there are 24 wharves and piers, of which 1 publicly owned and 2 privately owned are open to public use, and 21 are privately owned and used for industrial purposes. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1930, except that portion of Cap Sante Waterway west of R Avenue which was omitted at the request of local interests. A survey in May 1938 indicated that Cap Sante Waterway had shoaled to 91/2 feet and that portions of the turning basin had shoal'e to 9 feet, the total shoaling amounting to about 27,000 cubic yards. The total costs and expenditures on the existing project have been $46,376.90 from Federal funds and $23,188.45 from contributed funds, a total of $69,565.35, all for new work. Proposed operations.--The funds unexpended June 30, 1938, $12,000, will be applied to maintenance dredging in Cap Sante Waterway, by contract, during September 1938. No additional funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940, as no serious shoaling is anticipated during that time. 1888 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

BELLINGHAM HARBOR, WASH. Location.-This harbor is a part of Bellingham Bay, an arm of Puget Sound, about 18 miles south of the international boundary and about 100 miles north of Seattle. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6378.) Previous projects.--Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902. The cost and expenditures on this project prior to the adoption of the existing project in 1910 were $56,581.93 for new work and $1,092.05 for maintenance, a total of $57,673.98. For further details see page 2006 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This provides for (a) dredging a channel known as the Whatcom Creek Waterway from deep water to the head of the harbor, 363.2 feet wide, 26 feet deep at mean lower low water for the outer 3,800 feet and 18 feet deep for the inner 1,300 feet; (b) for Squalicum Creek Waterway, including dredging an entrance channel, 200 feet wide and 26 feet deep from deep water in the bay to the main pierhead line, maintenance of the southerly half and westerly end of the Squalicum Creek Basin to a depth of 26 feet at mean lower low water, and maintenance of the present 1,500-foot breakwater southwest of the basin to a crest height of 14 feet, pro- vided that no dredging be done within 75 feet of wharves, piers, or similar structures. The extreme tidal range is 16.5 feet. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 8.6 -feet. The estimate of cost for new work revised in 1913, was $81,782 for Whatcom Creek waterway and $25,000 (made in 1927) for Squalicumn Creek Waterway, exclusive of amount expended on previous project. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 1889 The latest approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,000 (1928) for Whatcom Creek Waterway, and $2,500 (1937) for Squali- cum Creek Waterway.

One pub- licly and two privately owned terminals on Whatcom Creek Water- way are open for public use. The three terminals on Squalicum Creek Waterway are publicly owned and privately operated, one of them being open to public use for mooring and servicing small craft. All of the remaining terminals are privately owned and used for industrial purposes. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. (For further details see Port Series No. 7, pt. 3, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1931. The dredging of Whatcom Creek Waterway was completed in 1913. The dredging of the entrance channel in Squali- cum Creek Waterway was completed in 1931, and local interests have since dredged the southerly half and westerly end of Squalicum Creek Basin and constructed a detached rubble breakwater 1,500 feet long southwest of the basin. A survey in April 1937 showed a con- trolling depth of 26 feet in the outer portion of Whatcom Creek Waterway and 20 feet in the inner portion except close to the wharves and at the extreme upper end; the project depth was avail- able in the entrance channel in Squalicum Creek Waterway, when surveyed in June 1938. The costs and expenditures have been $112,013.16 for new work and $51,624.31 for maintenance, a total of $163,637.47. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1938, $10,000, will be applied to repairs to breakwater, by contract, during September 1938. The additional sum of $10,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for maintenance dredging in Squalicum Creek Waterway, by contract, during September 1939.

KETCHIKAN HARBOR, ALASKA Location.-Ketchikan Harbor is located on the coast of Revilla- gigedo Island and on the northeasterly side of Tongass Narrows. The harbor is approximately 98 miles northwest of Prince Rupert, British Columbia, and 102 miles southwest of Wrangell, Alaska. Juneau, Alaska, is 276 miles to the northwest. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 8075 and 8094.) Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a stone breakwater, with concrete cap, 940 feet in length, to protect that portion of the harbor in the vicinity of Ketchikan Creek, and for dredging the protected area to an average depth of 10 feet at mean lower low water. The mean range of tide is 13 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1927, was $272,000. Maintenance is expected to be merely nominal for many years. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act, approved July 3, 1930 (H. Doc. 113, 70th Cong., 1st sess.). The lat- est published map is in the project document. Terminal faciiities.-There is approximately 1 mile of developed waterfront, along which numerous wharves have been constructed for the accommodation of deep-sea vessels. These facilities are pri- vately owned, but are open to public use upon payment of wharfage charges. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1933 at a saving of $47,054 under the estimated cost. A survey in May 1937 showed a controlling depth of 9 feet except in an area about one-fifth acre in extent at the mouth of Ketchikan Creek where depths vary from 4 to 9 feet. The total costs and ex- penditures have been $224,945.84, all for new work. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1938, $8,000, will be applied to maintenance dredging and repairs to breakwater, by hired labor and rented plant, August and September, 1938. No additional funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940, as no material deterioration of the breakwater and dredged area is anticipated during that time.

DRY PASS, ALASKA Location.-Dry Pass is a 21/2-mile section of a natural waterway between Kosciusko and Prince of Wales Islands, in southeastern Alaska. It is part of the small-boat trade route through south- eastern Alaska, 70 miles west of Wrangell and 230 miles southwest of Junea, Alaska. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 8172.) Emisting project.-This provides for the dredging of a channel 60 feet wide and 6 feet deep at mean lower low water through five shoals in the waterway between El Capitan Passage and Shakan Strait. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is approximately 11.7 feet and the maximum range is about 13 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1928, is $79,000, with maintenance estimated at $1,600 for the first year following comple- tion and $800 annually thereafter. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (H. Doc. 470, 70th Cong., 2d sess.). This document contains the latest published map of the locality. Terminal facilities.-The improvement forms a part of an existing trade route. There are no terminal facilities within the limits of the improvement. Operations and results during fiscal year.--The project was com- pleted by removing 15,744.41 cubic yards of gravel and boulders, 51.44 cubic yards of ledge rock, and 11,521.82 cubic yards of sand and silt, under contract, in August and September 1937, at a cost of $58,665.32, all for new work. The expenditures were the same. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The project was completed in 1937 at a saving of $20,334 under the estimated cost. The project depth is available. The costs and expenditures have been $58,665.32, all for new work. 101110-pt. 1-vol. 2-38--56 1892 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

STIKINE RIVER, ALASKA Location.-Stikine River rises in northwestern Canada and flows in a southwesterly direction through Canada for about 200 miles, then approximately 30 miles westerly across the Panhandle of Alaska to Sumner Strait. The mouth of the river is on the coast of the mainland approximately 3 miles north of Wrangell. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 8002.) Existing project.-This provides for snagging of the Stikine River from its mouth to the Canadian border, a distance of approximately 30 miles. Snagging operations must be performed in the early spring immediately after the break-up in order to facilitate navigation. There are no data available concerning the stages of high and low water in the river. At the mouth the tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 16.2 feet, and the maximum range is about 24.8 feet. The estimate of cost, made in 1932, is $600 annually for maintenance. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (H. Doc. No. 210, 72d Cong., 1st sess.). This document contains the latest published map of the locality. Terminal facilities.--There are no terminal facilities along the American portion of the river. Boats operating on the Stikine River run out of Wrangell, Alaska, and use the terminal facilities described for that port. Operations and results during fscal year.-Snags were removed from the channel between its mouth and the Canadian border, by con- tract, during August 1937 and April 30 to May 4, 1938, at a cost of $1,200, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $1,199.28. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 1893 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The removal of dangerous snags from the river has resulted in reduced hazards to navigation. The costs and expenditures have been $1,200, all for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The sum of $600, to be allotted to this proj- ect, will be applied to maintenance by removal of snags between the mouth of the river and the Canadian border, by contract during May 1939. The additional sum of $600 can be profitably expended for the same purpose during the fiscal year 1940.

WRANGELL NARROWS, ALASKA Location.-Wrangell Narrows lies to the west of Mitkof Island connects Sumner Strait with Frederick Sound, and forms a part of the inside water route from Puget Sound to southeastern Alaska. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 8170 and 8200.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 200 feet wide on the bottom and 21 feet deep at mean lower low water, with increased depth in rock, and 27 feet deep at shoal No. 2; 24 feet deep and 275 feet wide at shoal No. 1, the easing of curves at shoals nos. 5, 6, 7, and 12, the removal of a rock pinnacle opposite Anchor Point, and 5 small rock pinnacles in the towing channel. The extreme tidal range is about 24 feet at the northern end of the Narrows. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 16.4 feet at the northern end, 16.7 feet mid- way of the Narrows, and 15.7 feet at the southern end. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $642,000. The latest (1930) approved estimate for maintenance is $7,000 the first year after completion of the project, $5,500 annually for the next 5 years, and $5,000 annually thereafter. 1894 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents 1 Mar. 3,1925 Original channel, 21 feet deep and 200 feet wide H. Doc.

Terminal facilities.-The terminal facilities at Petersburg, the only port in the Narrows, consist of one cannery wharf, two oil wharves, and also two general wharves, which are privately owned but open to the public. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1934, at a saving of $52,292 under the estimated cost. A survey of Shoal 2, Petersburg Bar, made in June 1937 showed a con- trolling depth of approximately 23 feet. The total costs and expenditures were $589,707.67 for new work including $136,736.74 from Public Works funds, and $177,679.97 for maintenance, a total of $767,387.64. Proposed operations.--The funds unexpended June 30, 1938, $25,000, will be applied to maintenance dredging, with Government plant and hired labor, during August 1938. No additional funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940, as no material shoaling is anticipated during that time.

PETERSBURG HARBOR, ALASKA Location.-PetersburgHarbor is situated inside the northern en- trance to Wrangell Narrows, on the northwesterly end of Mitkof Island, 779 miles northwesterly from Seattle, and 107 miles south- westerly from Juneau. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 8170.) Existing project.-This provides for dredging suitable approaches with a depth of 24 feet to the existing wharves; a small boat basin 11 feet deep between the Trading Union Wharf and Citizens Wharf to a line substantially following the present mean lower low water line; and a short channel 40 feet wide and 8 feet deep to the south :side of the Forestry Service float. All depths are referred to mean lower low water. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 16.4 feet. The extreme range is about 24 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1932, was $102,000, including $8,000 contributed by local interests. The latest (1932) approved estimate for maintenance is $1,500 per annum. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (H. Doc. No. 483, 72d Cong., 2d sess.). This docu- ment contains the latest published map of the locality. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-Major terminal facilities consist of two com- mercial wharves, a cannery dock, and two oil company docks. All are open-pile structures. The commercial wharves and the cannery dock are privately owned but are open to public use on payment of wharfage charges. (See H. Doc. No. 483, 72d Cong., 2d sess.) These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. There were no opera- tions other than office work. The costs were $924.35, all for new work. The expenditures were $924.35. Condition at end of .fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1937, at a saving of $5,613 under the estimated cost. The project depths are available. The costs and expenditures have been $88,386.84 from Federal funds and $8,000 from contributed funds, a total of $96,386.84, all for new work. Proposed operations.-No funds are available, and no operations are proposed during the fiscal years 1939 and 1940, as it is expected that project depths will be available.

SITKA HARBOR, ALASKA Location.-Sitka Harbor is located on Sitka Sound in southeastern Alaska off the west shore of Baranof Island. It is about 980 miles north of Seattle, and 230 miles westerly from Petersburg. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 8244.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel on the easterly side- of Harbor Rock, 150 feet wide and 22 feet deep at mean lower low water, for the removal of Indian Rock, and for dredging a small-boat basin 10 feet deep and approximately 61/ acres in area in Japonski Island lagoon protected by about 1,900 feet of rock mound break- waters. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 9.9 feet. The extreme range is 15 feet. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1937, is $224,000. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,000.

No. 268, 75th Cong., 1st sess. 1 Contain latest published maps. Local cooperation.-Underthe provisions of the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937, local interests are required to furnish neces- sary rights-of-way and quarry rights, and to agree to install adequate terminal facilities. It is believed that these conditions will be met when required. Terminal facilities.-There are six wharves in Sitka Harbor having sufficient depths alongside for larger vessels, of which five are pri- vately owned but are open to the public on payment of nominal wharfage fees. The sixth is the Government wharf on Japonski Island. In addition to these six wharves, there are numerous small wharves and floats which provide limited accommodation for the vessels of the fishing fleet. These facilities are considered adequate for existing ocean commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-An isolated boulder was removed under contract in December 1937. The total costs were $1,920.86, all for new work. The expenditures were $2,479.80. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project is 27 percent com- pleted. Indian Rock and an isolated boulder were removed and the channel on the easterly side of Harbor Rock completed in 1937. The project depth is available in these sections. The costs and expendi- RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 189T tures have been $64,650, all for new work. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the construction of the small-boat basin. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated for the fiscal year 1939.

JUNEAU HARBOR, ALASKA Location.---Juneau Harbor is in the portion of Gastineau Channel in front of the city of Juneau, the capital of Alaska, at the mouth of Gold Creek. It is about 1,000 miles by water northwesterly from Seattle and 107 miles northeasterly from Petersburg, Alaska. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 8235.) Existing project.-This provides for a small-boat basin 111/2 acres in area just north of the Douglas-Juneau Bridge, with a depth of 12 feet at mean lower low water, by the construction of two rock-mound breakwaters 430 feet and 1,540 feet in length. and dredging the pro- tected area. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 16.2 feet. The extreme range is 231/2 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1937, is $232,000. There is no approved estimate for annual maintenance which is expected to be nominal. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved August 26, i937 (H. Doc. 249, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). 1898 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 Local cooperation.-Local interests are required to give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will provide all neces- sary terminal facilities, and it is believed that this condition will be met when required. Terminal facilities.-There are seven open-pile wharves at Juneau extending to depths of 30 to 40 feet, of which five are privately owned but are open to the public on payment of nominal wharfage charges. The sixth is owned by the Federal Government and is reserved for the use of the larger vessels of the Government. These facilities for ocean steamer commerce are adequate for existing and prospective needs. A number of floats are maintained for the moor- ing of small craft, but the available sheltered anchorages are entirely inadequate for the many small fishing and work boats frequenting the vicinity. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done under this project. Proposed operations.-Provided the conditions of local coopera- tion are complied with, it is expected to allot $70,000 to be applied to breakwater construction during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1939. The sum of $162,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for new work completing the project by dredging under contract, July to October: Cost and financial summary Net total expenditures_____________-----------__ Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1938______________________ Amount (estimated) required to be appropriated for completion of existing project---------------------------------------------$162, 000. 00 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1940, for new work ----------------- -------- 162, 000. 00 23. SKAGWAY HARBOR, ALASKA Location- -Skagway Harbor is in southeastern Alaska at the month of Skagway River which flows into the head of Taiya Inlet (an arm of Lynn Canal) 1,100 miles north of Seattle and 94 miles northwest of Juneau. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 8202 and 8303.) Existing project.-This provides for a rock, brush, and earth train- ing dike 6,700 feet long on the left bank of Skagway River, and a rubble-mound breakwater 1,800 feet long across the tide flats in pro- longation of the training dike. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 16.6 feet. The extreme range is about 28.5 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1938, is $105,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 20, 1938 (H. Doc. No. 547, 75th Cong., 3d sess.). This docu- ment contains the latest published map. Local cooperation.-Local interests are required to furnish, free of cost to the United States, necessary lands, easements, and rights-of- way, including quarry rights, hold and save the United States free from any damages attributable to the improvement, and agree to maintain the structures after completion. No steps have been taken RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 1899 to secure compliance with these terms, but it is expected that work thereon will be started within the next 3 months. Terminal facilities.-There is one privately owned wharf which is open to public use on payment of mooring and wharfage charges, and is considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done under this. project. Proposed operations.-No funds are available, and no operations are proposed during the fiscal year 1939.

CORDOVA HARBOR, ALASKA Location.-Cordova Harbor is on Orca Inlet, a strait near the east- ern entrance to Prince William Sound, Alaska. It is about 1,600 miles northwest of Seattle and 93 miles south of Valdez, Alaska. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 8525 and 8520.) Existing project.-This provides for a sheltered harbor for small boats approximately 8.26 acres in area with a depth of 10 feet at mean lower low water, protected by a north breakwater about 1,100: feet long, and a south breakwater about 1,400 feet long. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 12.4 feet, with an extreme range of 22 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1934, is $295,000. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is. $5,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 33, 73d Cong., 2d sess.). This document contains the latest published map of the locality. Terminal facilities.-There are two wharves, a Government float,. and a city float. One wharf, known as the "Ocean Dock," is owned by the Copper River & Northwestern Railway, but is open to the public upon payment of wharfage charges. The other wharf, known as the "City Dock," is municipally owned and its use is free to the public. The floats have been installed for the convenience of small boats but are inadequate to the needs of present traffic. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The construction of breakwaters and dredging was commenced under contract, and 14,- 453.06 tons of rock, 1,015 cords of brush mat, 11,279 linear feet of piling and 4,140 board feet of lumber were placed and 52,500 cubic yards of material dredged during the fiscal year, at a cost of $68,730.25, all for new work. The expenditures were $24,836.89. 1900 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The project is 23 percent completed. Construction of breakwaters and dredging were commenced during the fiscal year 1938 and were in progress at the end of the fiscal year. Only a small outer portion of the basin has been dredged. Depths in the proposed basin varied from zero at mean lower low water to 21/2 feet above that plane in September 1933. The costs have been $68,730.25 and the expenditures $24,836.89, all for new work.

VALDEZ HARBOR, ALASKA Location.-Valdez Harbor is at the head of Valdez Arm, a narrow tidal inlet extending northeastward 26 miles from Prince William RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 1901 Sound in the Gulf of Alaska. It is 170 miles northeast of Seward, Alaska. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 8519.) Existing project.-This provides for dredging a small-boat and :seaplane basin approximately 3 acres in area and 12 feet deep at mean lower low water in the tide flat area between the wharves, and diverting a small creek away from the basin site. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 11.8 feet. The extreme range is about 18 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1937, is $68,500. There is no approved estimate for annual maintenance which is expected to be nominal. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved June 20, 1938 (H. Doc. No. 415, 75th Cong., 2d sess.). This document contains the latest published map. Local cooperation.-Localinterests are required to agree to provide .and maintain adequate floats, ramps, and mooring facilities. No steps have been taken to secure compliance with these terms but will be within three months. Terminal facilities.-There are two privately owned wharves for :deep-craft vessels, both open to general public use on payment of mooring and wharfage charges. These facilities are adequate for existing ocean steamer commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.--None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done under this project. Proposed operations.-No funds are available, and no operations are proposed during the fiscal year 1939. The sum of $68,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for new work, completing the project by dredging under contract, July to September 1939.

HARBOR OF REFUGE, SEWARD, ALASKA Location.-This harbor is located at Seward, Alaska, on the west side of the north end of Resurrection Bay. The harbor is about 130 miles west of Cordova. Alaska. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic -Survey Chart No. 8529. Existing project.-This provides for a .south breakwater 580 feet long and a north breakwater 950 feet long, and dredging a basin about 207,000 square feet in area between the breakwaters to a-depth of 121/2 feet at mean lower low water. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 10.6 feet. The extreme range is about 17 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, is $173,200. No :approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance has been made. 1902 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents 1 July 3, 1930 South breakwater and dredged basin .-------- H. Doc.

Terminal facilities.-Docking facilities at Seward include one com- mercial wharf, owned by the Alaska Railroad, which is available to the use of the public on payment of the usual wharfage charges, one wharf owned by the Standard Oil Co., and one owned by the San Juan Cannery. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The north breakwater was constructed under contract, August 4 to October 29, 1937, a total of 21,273.6 tons of rock being placed, at a cost and expenditure of $50,951.06, all for new work. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project was completed in 1937, at a saving of $19,046 under the estimated cost. In October 1937, the controlling depth in the basin was 11.5 feet at mean lower low water except within 240 feet of the northerly corner in which area the depths slope from 11.5 feet to 3 feet at that corner, and except close to the southerly corners, these corners being practically dry at mean lower low water. The costs and expenditures have been $154,153.67 for new work and $9,198.31 for maintenance, a total of $163,351.98. Proposed operations.-No funds are available, and no operations are proposed during the fiscal years 1939 and 1940, as no material deterioration of breakwaters or channel is anticipated.

EGEGIK RIVER, ALASKA Location.-Egegik River, located on the Alaska Peninsula in south- western Alaska, is the outlet of Becharof Lake and flows northwesterly from the lake for a distance of about 34 miles into Bristol Bay, 470 piles northeasterly from Dutch Harbor. (See wall map of Alaska by the Mineral Resources Branch of the U. S.Geological Survey.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 100 feet wide, 5 feet deep, and about 2,500 feet long through the rapids at the head of the river by the removal of obstructing boulders and the erection of suit- able ranges to mark the channel. The controlling depth of 4 feet at low water stage exists in the river between its mouth and the rapids, with an average depth in the rapids of 10 feet. The flow of the river is so well regulated by the lake that the maximum range, except for tidal action at the mouth, is only 2 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1932, is $5,000. There is no provision for annual maintenance. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (H. Doc. No. 51, 73d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in that document. Terminal facilities.-There are no terminal facilities. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done under this project. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no operations are proposed during the fiscal year 1939. The sum of $5,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for new work, completing the project by removal of obstructing boulders and erection of channel markers, by hired labor and Govern- ment plant, during July and August 1939.

NOME HARBOR, ALASKA Location.-Nome Harbor is in the portion of Norton Sound in front of the city of Nome, Alaska, at the mouth of Snake River. It is a shallow, open roadstead about 115 miles north of the Apoon mouth of the Yukon River and 125 miles northwest of St. Michael Harbor. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 9380.) Existing project.-This provides for two parallel timber and con- crete jetties, the easterly, 951 feet long, and the westerly, not exceed- ing 676 feet long, at the mouth of Snake River, and a channel 8 feet deep at mean lower low water from Norton Sound, through Snake River, to the mouth of Bourbon and Dry Creeks, in the city of Nome, ending in a basin of similar depth 250 feet wide and 600 feet long and revetting the banks of the river. The length of the section in- cluded in the project is 1,900 feet. The extreme tidal range is 2.8 feet. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 1.6 feet. The water levels are influenced more by wind than tide, an offshore wind sometimes causing a level of from 2 to 3 feet below mean lower low water for days at a time and a level of 14 feet above mean lower low water having been noted as a result of storms. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, is $542,450. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $45,000 (including $2,500 to be contributed by the city of Nome and $20,000 for annual maintenance of the authorized extension of jetties).

Terminal facilities.-Cargoes and passengers from ocean vesselsi are lightered to and from shore, a distance of about 2 miles. There is one privately owned wharf outside the improvement area, which is open to the general public. Traffic using the dredged channel and basin is handled over the revetment, where transfer facilities have been installed by the city and lighterage companies. These facilities, are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Seasonal repairs to jetties and revetment were made, a total of 23,490 cubic yards dredged, and reconstruction of the east jetty commenced, by Govern- ment plant and hired labor. The costs were $53,287.88 from Federal funds and $2,500 from contributed funds, a total of $55,787.88, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $46,884.60 from Federal funds and $2,500 from contributed funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project is 50 percent com- pleted. The construction of the original 335- and 460-foot jetties and revetment was commenced in 1919 and completed in 1923. Dredging of the channel and the original 200- by 250-foot basin was commenced in 1919 and completed in 1922. The controlling depths on May 15, 1938, were as follows: Bar, 5.5 feet over a width of 50 feet; channel, 5 feet over a width of 80 feet; basin 5.8 feet over a width of 250 feet. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is to con- struct a 616-foot extension to the east jetty and an extension of not more than 216 feet to the west jetty, and to dredge the 400-foot extension of the basin. The costs from Federal funds have been $272,950.13 for new work and $380,039.66 for maintenance, a total of $652,989.79, and the ex- penditures $652,422.16. In addition $40,000 has been expended from contributed funds for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The Federal funds unexpended June 30, 1938, $90,624.61, together with $2,500 contributed funds, will be applied to maintenance, as follows: Accounts payable---------------------------------------------- $5, 092. 42 Continue reconstruction of east jetty and north revetment, by hired labor and Government plant, July to October 1938, and April to June 1939--------------------------------------------------- 88, 032. 19, Total --------------------------------------------------- 93, 124. 61 The additional sum of $95,000, together with $2,500 contributed funds, can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940, for reconstructing the west jetty and south revetment, by hired labor and Government plant, July to October 1939, and maintenance dredg- ing by hired labor and Government plant April to June 1940. 1906 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

LOWELL CREEK, ALASKA Location.-Lowell Creek rises in the mountains west of Seward, Alaska, and flows eastward into Resurrection Bay, an arm of the Gulf of Alaska, at the city of Seward. Its total length is about 41/2 miles. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 8529.) Previous projects.-The previous project, providing for an intake dam and a timber flume through the city of Seward, was adopted by Public Resolution No. 52, Sixty-ninth Congress, approved Febru- ary 9, 1927. The previous project was completed by the Alaska Road Commission and provision for maintenance was made by the act ap- proved February 14, 1933 (Public No. 336, 72d Cong.). The costs and expenditures from Federal funds have been $88,157.87 for new work and $32.133.78 for maintenance, a total of $120,291.65. In ad- dition, $25,000 was expended from contributed funds for new work. For further details see page 1590 of Annual Report for 1936. Existing project.-This provides for the control of floods in Lowell Creek by the construction of a diversion dam 400 feet long and a tunnel 2,070 feet long to divert flood waters and debris away from the city of Seward and into deep water of Resurrection Bay. The estimate of cost for construction, made in 1937, is $197,000, exclusive of amounts expended on the previous project. The project was adopted by the Flood Control Act approved August 25, 1937 (H. Doc. No. 154, 75th Cong., 1st sess.) The latest published map is in the project document. Local cooperation.-The act approved August 25, 1937, -provides that local interests furnish, without cost to the United States, all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for the construction of the project, hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction work, and agree to maintain and operate the works after completion. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Under the previous project, the removal of debris from the flume and outfall was com- pleted by the Alaska Railroad in July 1937, reimbursement being made by the Engineer Department in the amount of $1,000. A total of $13.40 was expended for inspections and office work. The total costs were $1,013.40 and the expenditures were $1,334.50, all charged to maintenance under the previous project. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done under the existing project. The intake system and flume constructed under the previous project are now beyond economical repair. The flume and outfall were clear of detritus on July 31, 1937, and no inspection has been made since that date. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1938, $198,- 897.22, will be applied as follows: New work: Completing the project by constructing the diversion dam and tunnel, by contract, throughout the year_------------- $197, 000. 00 Maintaining the existing flume free from debris---------------- 1, 397. 22 Total-------------------------------------------------198, 397. 22 No additional funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940, as no maintenance work is anticipated. 1920 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

SALMON RIVER, ALASKA Location.--Salmon River rises in Canada and flows in a southerly direction into the southeastern part of Alaska and empties into Port- land Canal at the town of Hyder. Its total length is about 25 miles. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 8051.) Existing project.-This provides for the control of floods at the town of Hyder by the reconstruction of 681 feet of existing dike, construction of 3,653 feet of new dike, and clearing of the flood plain: west of the present channel. The estimated cost, made in 1931, was $53,000 (including $7,000 contributed by local interests) for new work and $1,000 annually for maintenance. The project was adopted by the act approved June 18, 1934, Public, No. 388, Seventy-third Congress (H. Doc. No. 228, 72d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Local cooperation.-In accordance with the provisions of the act of June 18, 1934, local interests are required to contribute $7,000 toward the first cost of the work and $200 annually for maintenance. An appropriation of $7,000 was made by the Territorial legislature in 1933 for this purpose. Prior to the adoption of the existing project, approximately $8,000 was expended by the United States Bureau of Public Roads for a rock dike, and $26,350 by Territorial and local interests for dikes, revetment, and dredging'with view to flood protection. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 1921 Operations and results during fiscal year.-The dikes were repaired by hired labor, April 23 to May 18, 1938, by placing 272 cubic yards of stone at a cost of $1,020.80, including $200 contributed funds, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $672.05 from United States fiunds and $200 from contributed funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project was completed in 1935 at a saving of $11,768 under the estimated cost. The dikes have withstood several severe floods and some settlement occurred, which was: repaired in 1936 and 1938. The costs and expenditures on the existing project for work done )y the Engineer Department have been $34,231.20 for new work and $1,548.75 for maintenance, a total of $35,779.95. In addition, $7,000 was expended from contributed funds for new work and $400 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The Federal funds unexpended June 30, 1938, $1,000, together with $200 to be contributed by local interests, will be applied to repairs to dikes, by hired labor, as required during the fiscal year 1939. The additional sum of $800, together with $200 to be contributed by local interests, can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for dike repairs, as required.

WAKE ISLAND HARBOR Location.-This harbor is at Wake Island, an atoll in the Pacific Ocean about 2,000 nautical miles west of Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii, and 2,700 miles east of Manila, P. I. (See U. S. Navy Hydrographic Chart No. 162.) RIVERS AND HARBORS-HONOLULU, HAWAII, DISTRICT 1935 Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel 18 feet deep and 200 feet wide from deep water in the Pacific Ocean to a turning basin of the same depth and 1,000 feet square just south of Peale Island; the channel dimensions to be suitably increased at the entrance and its exact location to be fixed as may be found advisable by the Chief of Engineers. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The range of tide between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 21/2 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1936, is $1,000,000. The latest (1936) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $38,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. No. 84, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). This document contains the latest published map. Terminal facilities.-The Pan American Airways Co. has a pier on the lagoon shore of Peale Island for the use of its seaplanes and small boats, and has under consideration the construction of a per- manent pier at the same general location for handling cargo. The pier will be adequate for docking the supply ship. Operations and results during fiscal year.---None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done under the existing project. The controlling depths at mean lower low water in 1936 were 0 in the outer 2,000-foot section of the entrance channel, 7 feet in the remainder of the entrance channel, and 9 feet in the turn- ing basin. Proposed operations.-No operations are proposed for the fiscal year 1939. The sum of $700,000 can be profitably expended for new work dur- ing the fiscal year 1940 for dredging the entrance channel and anchor- age basin by Government plant, October 1939 to June 1940.

WELLES HARBOR, MIDWAY ISLAND Location.-This harbor is at Midway Island, an atoll in the Pacific Ocean about 1,140 miles west of Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii, and 1,090 miles east of Wake Island. (See U. S. Navy Hydrographic Charts Nos. 1952 and 2468.) Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel from deep water in the Pacific Ocean through the southerly reef to deep water inside the lagoon, ending in a harbor basin approximately 1',200 feet square, with widths in the entrance channel decreasing from 500 feet at the seaward end to 200 feet in a distance of 1,000 feet, continuing at the latter width to the basin, a further distance of 1936 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 .5,500 feet, with depths of 22 feet in the outer 1,500 feet of the en- trance channel and 20 feet in the remainder of the channel and the basin; and for a seaplane basin about 1,200 feet square and 8 feet deep at the northeast end of Sand Island, protected by suitable break- waters with a flared entrance channel of the same depth. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The mean range of tide between men lower low water and mean higher high water is about 2 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1936, is $1,041,000. The latest (1936) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $30,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. No. 49, 75th Cong., 1st sess.) which provided for the entrance channel and harbor basin; and (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 9, 75th Cong., 1st sess.) which provided for the seaplane basin, entrance channel thereto, and the breakwaters. For latest published maps see the project documents. Terminal facilities.-Two commercial companies have built small piers for landing supplies. The Pan American Airways Co. has started construction of a breakwater and pier for use in connec- tion with lighterage operations, and proposes to construct a pier suitable for docking and unloading supply ships. These facilities are considered adequate. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Miscellaneous surveys and mobilization work was done under funds allotted for examina- tions, surveys, and contingencies and Plant allotment, Honolulu Dis- trict, in preparation for initiating dredging operations and construc- tion of the breakwater. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work except that of a prelim- inary nature has been done. The controlling depths at mean lower low water in 1936 were about 1 foot in the harbor entrance channel, 15 feet in the harbor basin, 2 feet in the seaplane basin, and 3 feet in the seaplane basin entrance channel.

Location.-The harbor is located on the north coast of Puerto Rico, about 30 miles westward of Cape San Juan. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 908.) Previous projects.-Before the American occupation about $647,000 had been expended under Spanish administration. The original proj- ect by the United States was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1907. The total costs and expenditures on the project adopted by the United States were $792,415.14--$747,684.28 for new work and $44,730.86 for maintenance. (For further details see p. 2007, Annual Report for 1915, and p. 1718 of Annual Report for 1916.) Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel 800 feet wide and 38 feet deep at mean low water across the outer bar, a dis- tance of about 1,700 feet, to the bend in the channel; thence 1,200 feet wide and 30 feet deep at mean low water, narrowing to 1,000 feet width at the inner harbor, about 4,000 feet distant from the bend; dredging the inner harbor to the same depth over an area of about 329 acres, and extending this depth easterly into the San Antonio Channel for about 3,400 feet with a width of about 1,100 feet at its mouth, narrow- ing to 600 feet at 1,200 feet from the mouth, and increasing to 800 feet at the easterly end. The mean tidal range is about 1.1 feet, and the extreme varies between 0.4 and 1.8 feet. 101110--pt. 1-vol. 2-38-59 1940 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1937, is $3,139,000, ex- clusive of amounts expended under previous projects but including $100,000 contributed by local interests. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $55,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and har- bor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Aug. 8, 1917 Anchorage area (206 acres) and San Antonio Channel to H. Doec.

Local cooperation.-All conditions of local cooperation imposed by the River and Harbor Act approved August 30, 1935, and preceding acts have been complied with. The River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937, requires local interests to contribute $100,000 toward the cost of the improvement, convey to the United States, without cost, 4 acres of land at Miraflores Bay having a suitable road connection to the highway system, furnish, free of cost to the United States, suitable bulkheaded disposal areas for new work and for subsequent maintenance as required, and release the United States from liability for any damages incidental to the work of improvement. The 4 acres of land at Miraflores Bay, having a suitable road connection to the highway system, were accepted for the United States on June 6, 1938. A local contribution of $100,000 was deposited in the Federal Reserve Bank, New York City, on June 15, 1938. The remaining assurances regarding local cooperation were accepted as satisfactory by the Chief of Engineers on June 27, 1938. Terminal facilities.-There are six piers with aggregate berthing space of about 6,530 feet and bulkhead wharves of an aggregate length of about 3,750 feet on the northerly side of San Juan Harbor, including San Antonio Channel, capable of docking deep-draft ves- sels. For further details see Port Series No. 21, Corps of Engineers. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance of the United States Engineer suboffice at San Juan, P. R., and preservation and repair of buildings and grounds were continued through the fiscal year at a cost of $12,643.75, for maintenance. The cost of survey and contingencies preliminary to proposed dredging in San Juan Harbor was $7,573.11 for new work. The total cost of work was $20,216.86-$7,573.11 for new work and $12,643.75 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $16,930.03. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 72 percent completed. The controlling mean low water depth, as shown by surveys made from July 1934 to April 1938, was 38 feet for width of 500 feet in the entrance channel, 30 feet for a width of 500 to RIVERS AND HARBORS-PUERTO RICO DISTRICT 1941 1,200 feet in the Anegado Reach, 30 feet in the northerly half of the anchorage basin, and 30 feet for a width of 600 to 1,100 feet in San Antonio Channel. The work remaining to be done under the existing project consists of completing the deepening of the entrance channel, widening of the Anegado Reach and enlarging the anchorage area. The costs and expenditures to June 30, 1938, Public Works funds, were $451,805.52-$427,068.34 for new work and $24,737.18 for maintenance. The cost to June 30, 1938, regular funds, was $2,378,481.31- $1,832,735.56 for new work and $545745.75 -for maintenance. The expenditures were $2,374,982.52. The total cost of the existing project to June 30, 1938, all funds, was $2,830,286.83-$2,259,803.90 for new work and $570,482.93 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $2,826,788.04. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year, amounting to $14,380.53, together with an allotment of $387,000 made during July 1938, $100,000 contributed funds and $400,000 advanced funds, a total of $901,380.53, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1938-----------------------------------_ $3, 498. 79 New work: Complete by June 30, 1940, under a contract to be entered into, by dredging and rock removal, the deepening of the entrance channel, widening of Anegado Reach, and enlargement of the anchorage --------------------------------------- 887, 000. 00 Maintenance: Preservation and repair of buildings, structures, and grounds assigned to the Engineer Department--------------- 10, 881. 74 Total ---------------------------------- 901, 380. 53 The contract for new work will complete the deepening of the entrance channel, widening of Anegado Reach, and enlargement of the anchorage basin as authorized by the River and Harbor Acts of 1935 and 1937. It is believed that maintenance dredging will be necessary during the next 2 years. Provisions should also be made for return of advanced funds to local interests. Therefore, the sum of $460,000 should be provided during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1940, of which $400,000 is to be repaid local interests and $60,000 for maintenance and dredging as follows: Maintenance: Preservation and repair of buildings, structures, and grounds as- signed to the Engineer Department___-------------------------- $10, 000 Operate 1 United States seagoing dredge for 2 months (July and August 1939) to restore the main harbor and San Antonio Chan- nel to project dimensions------------------------------------- 50, 000 60, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1938-------------------------- $3,007,488. 18 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1938-------------------------- 615, 213. 79 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1938---------- 3, 622, 701. 97 Minus accounts payable June 30, 1938-------------------------- 3, 498. 79 Net total expenditures_--------------------------------- 3, 619, 203. 18 Unexpended balance June 30, 1938 14, 380. 53 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1938 ....--- 13, 633, 583. 71 1In addition $100,000 contributed and $400,000 advanced by local interests for fiscal year 1939. 1942 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

PONCE HARBOR, P. R. Location.-Ponce Harbor is located on the south central coast of Puerto Rico. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 927.) Existing project.-This provides for a sea wall of an aggregate length of 2,362 feet, extending 2,000 feet along the causeway easterly of the municipal pier and about 362 feet westerly from the municipal pier across a coral reef to deep water in the harbor; a bulkhead sur- mounted by a suitable concrete platform to be constructed under the protection afforded by the sea wall, of an aggregate length of 6,690 feet, 2,870 feet to be designed for water 30 feet in depth, 1,470 feet to be designed for water 18 feet in depth, and 2,350 feet to be designed for water 9 feet in depth; and dredging three areas, 30, 18, and 9 feet in depth channelward of the bulkheads, containing approximately 77, RIVERS AND HARBORS-PUERTO RICO DISTRICT 1943 47, and 29 acres, respectively. The mean tidal range is one-tenth of a foot, and the range of the great tropic tides is nine-tenths of a foot. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1935, is $1,016,000, of which $542,039.70 is to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1922) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $30,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3,1925 Present project adopted........------------...._ .....H. Doc No. 532, 67th Cong., 4th sess. Aug. 30, 1935 Modifed the conditions of local cooperation-_. Rivers and Harbors Committee Doe. No. 18, 72d Cong., 1st sess. (Con- tains latest published map.) Local cooperation.-The project adopted by the act of March 3, 1925, as modified by the act of August 30, 1935, provides that the United States shall undertake, without contribution from local inter- ests, the dredging included in the project, and return to local interests funds contributed and advanced for such dredging, all other portions of the improvement hereafter to be at the expense of local interests. Terminal facilities.-There is one pier of modern design and a bulkhead wharf in the harbor. The pier is located at Penoncillo Point and owned by the municipality of Ponce. The bulkhead wharf, 1,890 feet long, has been constructed under the supervision of the insular government. The transfer facilities when completed are con- sidered adequate for the present needs of commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The work to be done by the United States, the dredging of the three areas in the harbor, is about 30 percent completed. The 30-foot maneuvering and berthing area adjacent to the new bulkhead wharf has been dredged to project depth to within 20 feet of the face of the new bulkhead wharf except for a section about 500 feet long and 100 feet wide, lying within 400 feet from the westerly end, where partial failure of the wharf occurred in August 1931. About 362 feet of seawall has been constructed and local interests have completed a section of bulkhead wharf, about 1,500 feet long, on the southerly side of the 30-foot dredged area and connected its easterly end with the causeway leading to the old munici- pal pier by means of a riprap bulkhead. The work now proposed under the project does not contemplate completion of all the work authorized. It is confined to the 30-foot maneuvering and berthing area and the bulkhead wharf and seawall adjacent thereto. There remain to be done, to complete the entire project, dredging by the United States of two areas to depths of 18 and 9 feet, contain- ing approximately 47 and 29 acres, respectively. There remains to be constructed by the city of Ponce, to complete the project, a sea- wall 2,000 feet long, and about 970 linear feet of bulkhead for 30-foot depth, 1,470 linear feet for 18-foot depth, and 2,350 linear feet for 9-foot depth. The exact amount of expenditures made by local interests in con- structing the seawall and bulkhead is not known. The sum of $21,960.30, contributed funds, was expended by the United States for seawall construction prior to the last modification of the project. 1944 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 The total costs and expenditures to June 30, 1938, exclusive of $21,960.30 contributed funds which were expended for new work, were $213,607.28, of which $176,293.60 was for new work and $37,- 313.68 for maintenance. Proposed operations.--The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year, amounting to $60,000, will be applied to maintenance dredging, under contract to be entered into, to restore project dimen- sions in the anchorage and maneuvering area adjacent to the concrete bulkhead wharf. Further maintenance dredging will not be necessary during the next 2 years. Therefore, no funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1940.

MAYAGUEZ HARBOR, P. R. Location.-The harbor is located at about the center of the west coast of Puerto Rico. The harbor lies between Point Algorrobo and Point Guanajibo, about 33/4 miles apart, and inside extensive coral reefs about 2 miles offshore. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 901.) Existing project.-This provides for an approach channel to the deep-water terminal 30 feet deep, 1,000 feet wide at the outer end, de- creasing uniformly in width to 500 feet opposite the westerly end of the terminal, thence of this same width to the inshore end of said ter- minal. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1932, was $179,000. The latest (1935) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $3,000. The project was authorized by the Public Works Admin- istration September 6, 1933, and adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (H. Dec. No. 215, 72d Cong., 1st sess., and RIVERS AND HARBORS-PUERTO RICO DISTRICT 1945 Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 1, 73d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the former document. Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-The terminals consist of three small piers used by lighters, located in shoal water in the east central section of the harbor, and a modern deep-water terminal consisting of a bulkhead wharf about 1,270 feet in length, and a storage shed 60 by 600 feet immediately shoreward thereof, located in the northeast section of the harbor. The facilities appear adequate for the present needs of commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1934, at a saving of $10,813 under the estimated cost. The control- ling mean low water depth when examined in April 1934 was 30 feet for full project width throughout the channel. The costs and expenditures to June 30, 1938, were $21,000 regular funds and $147,186.69 Public Works funds, a total of $168,186.69, all for new work. Proposed operations.--There are no funds available for this project and no work is contemplated during the fiscal year 1939. It is believed that maintenance dredging will be necessary during the next 2 years. Therefore, the sum of $15,000 can be profitably expended to operate one United States seagoing dredge for one-half month (Sep- tember 1939) during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1940, to restore project dimensions in the approach channel and maneuvering area adjacent to the deep water terminal.

ARECIBO HARBOR, P. R. Location.-The harbor is located on the north shore of Puerto Rico about 40 statute miles west of San Juan Harbor. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 903.) Previous projects.-A previous project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved August 30, 1935, subject to certain condi- tions of local cooperation. Local interests were unable to comply with these conditions and, further, the type of deep-water terminal 1946 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 proposed was objectionable to navigation interests. As a result, no work was done and no expenditures were made under the project. (For further details see pp. 1619 and 1620 of Annual Report for 1936.) Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a stone breakwater 1,200 feet long, extending from Point Morrillos to Co- sinera Rock; dredging an entrance channel 25 feet deep at mean low water and 400 feet wide, flared to 650 feet wide at the ocean entrance and widened for the inner 650 feet of its length to form a maneuver- ing area of the same depth fronting a proposed marginal wharf 1,000 feet in length. The estimate of cost for new work made in 1937 is $756,000, in- cluding $288,000 to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1937) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $20,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 43, 75th Cong., 1st sess.), which document contains the latest published map. Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937, provides that local interests shall contribute $288,000 toward the initial cost of the project, furnish, free of cost to the United States, suitable spoil-disposal areas for new work and for subsequent main- tenance as required, and release the United States from all claims for damages incidental to the work of improvement; and provides further, that no work shall be done by the United States until local interests shall have initiated the construction of a deep-water ter- minal and given assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will complete and maintain this terminal, open to all on equal terms, in accordance with plans to be approved by the Chief of Engineers and the Secretary of War. None of these conditions has been met. Terminal facilities.-No facilities are available at Arecibo for di- rect transfer of freight. Ships anchor in deep water in the ocean about 1 mile from the lighterage terminal located between Signal Hill and Lighthouse Hill and transfer cargo by means of seagoing lighters. The lighterage terminal consists of an inner basin origi- nally dredged about 250 feet long, 150 feet wide, and 61/2 feet deep,, a bulkhead wharf about 500 feet long, two warehouses, 260 by 90 feet and 100 by 125 feet, respectively, and an entrance channel from the harbor to the basin of a minimum width of 30 feet protected by crib-work jetties. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done under the project, and there has been no cost or expenditure. The controlling mean low water depth, when examined in April and May 1937, was 20 feet for a width of 300 to 650 feet throughout the approach channel, thence 18 to 10 feet in the maneuvering area. Proposed operations.-There are no funds available for this proj- ect, and no work is contemplated during the fiscal year 1939. It is expected that the conditions of local cooperation under this project will be complied with during the next 2 years. Therefore, the sum of $511,000, including $288,000 to be contributed by local interests, can be profitably expended, under contract for new work, during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1940, in the construction of a stone breakwater 1,200 feet long extending from Point Morrillos to Cosinera Rock as authorized in 1937.

GUAYANES HARBOR, YABUCOA, P. R. Location.-Guayanes Harbor is the port of Yabucoa and is located on the southeast coast of Puerto Rico. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 918, 904, and 920.) Existing project.-This provides for dredging a short approach channel 23 feet deep at mean low water, 300 feet wide and an anchor- age area 2,000 feet long by 1,300 feet wide of the same depth. The estimated cost of new work made in 1936 is $108,600, including $40,000 to be contributed by local interests, and the approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance made in 1936 is $2,200. The project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. 243, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is printed in that document. Local cooperation.-The act authorizing the project provides that local interests shall contribute $40,000 toward the cost, and furnish, free of cost to the United States, suitable spoil-disposal areas for new work and subsequent maintenance as required, secure the United States against all claims for damages incidental to the improvement, and agree to provide wharfage facilities and access thereto from the harbor with a depth of water suitable for use by lighters hav- ing a draft of 8 feet. None of these conditions has been met. Terminal facilities.-The Yabucoa Sugar Co. owns and operates, as a private enterprise, a lighterage terminal for the shipment of raw sugar and molasses, and for the receipt of general merchandise. The terminal and transfer facilities consist of one pier for the handling of sugar, one pier for general cargo, a pipe-line trestle for transferring molasses from shore tanks to tank barges, a bulkhead wharf equipped with stiff-leg derrick of 15 tons capacity, a warehouse 220 feet long by 70 feet wide, a molasses tank of 1,000,000 gallons capac- ity, and a gasoline tank of 80,000 gallons capacity. A narrow-gage railroad connects these terminal facilities with the sugar mill owned by the same company, and with the town of Yabucoa. A dirt road, about 3.7 miles long, connects the terminal with the insular highway system. The previously described piers and wharf have depths alongside of from 4 to 5 feet at mean low water. At the pipe-line outlet there is 8 feet depth at mean low water. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been performed under the project and there have been no costs or expenditures. The controlling mean low-water depth in the project entrance channel was 1948 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 20 feet for a width of 300 feet and in the anchorage area 18 feet, when examined in May-June 1936. Proposed operations.-No funds are available. The sum of $68,600 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 to be applied to completion of the project.

ST. THOMAS HARBOR, VIRGIN ISLANDS Location.-St. Thomas Harbor is located in a well-sheltered bay on the south shore of the island of St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Charts Nos. 3240, 920, and 933.) Existing project.-This provides for removing Scorpion Rock at the entrance of the harbor to a depth of 36 feet at mean low water; dredging an entrance channel to this same depth and 600 feet wide; dredging an anchorage area approximately 3,150 feet long and vary- ing from 3,650 feet to 1,600 feet in width to a depth of 33 feet at mean low water, and construction of a breakwater 700 feet long be- tween Rupert Rock and the mainland. The mean range of tides is 0.6 foot. Irregular fluctuations due to storms and hurricanes materially affect navigation; however, they do not occur frequently. The estimated cost of new work made in 1937 is $743,000, and the approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance, made in 1937, is $12,000. The project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. 200, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is printed in that document. Local cooperation.-Under the project local interests are required to furnish, free of cost to the United States, necessary rights-of-way and suitable spoil-disposal areas for new work and subsequent mainte- nance as required, and release the United States from all claims for damages attributable to the work of improvement. None of these conditions has been met. Terminal facilities.-The only deep-water terminal in St. Thomas Harbor is located in the easterly part of the harbor, and is owned and operated by the West Indian Co., Ltd., a Danish corporation with headquarters in Copenhagen, Denmark. This terminal is stated to be a public-service terminal available to all on equal terms. The terminal consists of a steel sheet pile and concrete bulkhead wharf 2,250 feet long, with depths alongside ranging from 30 to 33 feet at mean low water, except for the easterly 150 feet, where depths range from 15 to 28 feet. On this wharf are commodious ware- houses and a large area available for open storage. The terminal is connected with the town by a good road. Although there are no RIVERS AND HARBORS-PUERTO RICO DISTRICT 1949 railroads on the island, motor transportation is available for handling freight. Numerous small wharves and quays along the north shore of the harbor serve as berths for the many small sailing vessels and motor launches plying an active trade between St. Thomas and nearby islands. These docks are owned both by private interests and by the municipality; several are equipped with hand cranes for handling heavy lifts; depth of water in the berths varies from 4 to 11 feet; all are connected to the island highway system by well-paved roads. Operation and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been performed un- der the project, and there has been no cost or expenditure. The con- trolling mean low water depth when examined in August-September 1936 in the entrance channel was 32 feet for a width of 600 feet, over Soorpion Rock 23 feet, and in the anchorage area the depth varied from a minimum of 16 feet in the extreme northern portion, sloping gradually to 33 feet south of the -center of the area. Proposed operations.-Providedconditions of local cooperation are complied with in sufficient time it is proposed to apply the sum of $73,000 to be allotted during the fiscal year, to the construction, under contract for new work, of the breakwater between Rupert Rock and the mainland as authorized in 1937. The dredging of the entrance channel and anchorage area and removal of Scorpion Rock, as authorized in 1937, should be com- menced. Therefore, the sum of $400,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1940, under continuing con- tract for new work in the amount of $670,000, in dredging the en- trance channel and anchorage area and removal of Scorpion Rock to project dimensions.

RECLAMATION OF SWAMP AREAS, PUERTO RICO Location.-Swamp areas adjacent to San Juan Harbor and at Ponce Playa and Salinas, P. R. Existing project.-No work has been authorized by Congress. Two appropriations were made for the work, which is being executed by the Engineer Department at the request of the Bureau of Insular Affairs. Work under the first appropriation, designated as Federal project No. 2, was authorized by the Public Works Administration September 22, 1933, and the funds are being disbursed by the Finance Department of the Army. Work under the second appro- priation, designated as Federal project No. 4, was authorized by the Public Works Administration in March 1935, and the funds are being disbursed by the Engineer Department. The work includes filling, by the hydraulic method, of malarial swamp areas adjacent to San Juan Harbor, the preparation of one of these areas for use as an airplane landing field, and the reclamation, by the subsoil drainage method, of malarial swamp areas at Ponce Playa, Salinas, and San Juan Harbor. Local cooperation.-Indetermining the work to be undertaken, the approval of the Governor of Puerto Rico is required. All work is being done in cooperation with the insular authorities. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. The expendi- tures were $1.69 for the payment of accounts payable at the begin- ning of the fiscal year. Condition at end of fiscal year.-All work under the existing project was completed. The total cost to June 30, 1938, all from Public Works funds, was $600,000, all for new work. The total expenditures, all from Public Works funds, were $599,980.50. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year, amounting to $19.50, will be applied to the payment of accounts payable. No work is proposed during the fiscal years 1939, and 1940. 1952 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

SURVEYS FOR NAVIGATION, FLOOD CONTROL, POWER, AND IRRIGATION Existing project.--The existing project provides for making inves- tigations of those navigable streams and their tributaries whereon power development appears feasible and practicable, with a view to the formulation of general plans for the most effective improvement of such streams for the purposes of navigation and the prosecution of such improvement in combination with the most efficient develop- ment of the potential water power, the control of floods, and the needs of irrigation. The River and Harbor Act of January 21, 1927, adopted the proj- ect as laid down in House Document No. 308, Sixty-ninth Congress, first session, and added the following streams to those listed in that SURVEYS FOR NAVIGATION, FLOOD CONTROL, POWER, ETC.1953 document: Red River, Yazoo River and tributaries, Pearl River, Altamaha River and tributaries, tributaries of the Warrior, Coosa, and Tombigbee Rivers. The Flood Control Act approved May 15, 1928, extended the scope of the investigation and surveys so as to include tributaries of the Mississippi River system, subject to de- structive floods, and laid down certain additional investigations on these tributaries. The estimated cost of the work described in House Document No. 308 is $7,322,400. In addition, the act of May 15, 1928, authorized the expenditure of $5,000,000 of flood-control funds for the surveys of the tributaries of the Mississippi River. Further study or review of reports is authorized by section 6 of the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, reading as follows: That the surveys authorized pursuant to section 1 of the River and Harbor Act of January 21, 1927, and House Document No. 308, Sixty-ninth Congress, first session, shall be supplemented by such additional study or investigation as the Chief of Engineers finds necessary to take into account important changes in economic factors as they occur, and additional stream-flow records, or other factual data. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Work on each of the surveys involved was inaugurated in the spring of 1928. Valuable cooperation has been received from other Federal agencies; from State, county, and municipal engineers; from levee and drainage districts, hydroelectric companies, railroads, universities, and other local sources of information. Stream-gaging stations, where needed, have been established mainly in cooperation with the United States Geological Survey. At the close of the fiscal year 1938 surveys of 187 streams had been completed and reports thereon transmitted to Congress, and reports on the remaining streams well advanced to completion. Allotment of funds by streams to June 30, 1938, for prosecution of the studies has been as follows: Allotted from- Engineer district and name of Transmitted Printed in document stream River and Flood-con- to Congress No. harbor funds trol funds Boston.

CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 1989 CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION This Commission, consisting of three officers of the Corps of Engi- neers appointed by the President with the consent of the Senate, was created by the act of Congress approved March 1, 1893 (27 Stat. L., p. 507), and has jurisdiction and duties extending over the drain- age area of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers, comprising the great central valley of California and extending from the crest of the Sierra Nevada on the east to that of the Coast Range on the west and from Mount Shasta and the Pit River Basin on the north to the Tehachapi Mountains on the south. These rivers empty into the head of Suisun Bay, ultimately discharging into the Pacific Ocean through the connecting bays and straits and the Golden Gate. The duties prescribed by the act creating the Commission are: First. To regulate hydraulic mining in such a way as to permit its resumption and continuance under such restrictions as to prevent the resulting debris from being carried into navigable waters or otherwise causing damage. Second. To study and report upon general hydraulic and hydrau- lic-mining conditions and matters affecting or affected by them and to make surveys, mature and adopt plans for the purpose of improv- ing the navigability, deepening the channels, and protecting the banks of the rivers, and affording relief from flood damages. While the Commission was to "adopt" plans as a result of its study, the act creating it did not provide means for directly carrying them out. Congress, however, has from time to time adopted certain of the plans formulated by the Commission and charged it with their execution, under the direction of the Secretary of War and the super- vision of the Chief of Engineers. During the past year, the Commission consisted of Brig. Gen. John J. Kingman, Corps of Engineers, to March 3, 1938, and Col. Warren T. Hannum, Corps of Engineers, since that date, as presidents; Col. L. B. Chambers, Corps of Engineers (secretary) ; Maj. E. S. J. Irvine, Corps of Engineers, to August 25, 1937; and Maj. Frank M. S. Johnson, Corps of Engineers, since that date. The secretary has immediate supervision of the work of the Commission. IMPROVEMENTS Page 1. Regulation of hydraulic mining and preparation of plans 1989 2.

REGULATION OF HYDRAULIC MINING AND PREPARATION OF PLANS Location.-Operations are largely limited to the territory between Mount Lassen on the north and the Yosemite Valley on the south, on the western watershed of the Sierra Nevada. (See U. S. Geological Survey sheets for the area, 25 in number.) Existing project.-This provides for regulating hydraulic-mining operations, planning the improvement of conditions upon the Sacra- mento and San Joaquin Rivers and their tributaries affected by such operations, and the preparation of plans to enable hydraulic mining 1990 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 to be resumed in their drainage areas. On application by prospective miners, full investigation is made by the California Debris Commis- sion, and permits to operate are issued to those who provide satis- factory debris-restraining basins by construction of suitable dams where necessary. The estimate of cost of this work, revised in 1916, is $18,000 per annum. The existing project was authorized by the following acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 1, 1893 Created California Debris Commission and authorized (a) Executive Doc.

June 19, 19341 Amended sec. 23 of above act, which provides for construc- (Amendment of secs. 18 and tion of debris dams or other restraining works by the 23 of act approved Mar. 1, California Debris Commission and collection of a 3-per- 1893.) cent tax on the gross proceeds of each mine using such facilities, so as to eliminate this tax and substitute an an- nual tax per cubic yard mined, obtained by dividing the total capital cost of each dam and reservoir by its total capacity for restraint of debris; and authorized revocation of Commission orders permitting such mining, for failure to pay this annual tax within 30 days after its due date; and also authorized receipt of money advances from mine owners to aid such construction, to be refunded later from the annual payments of yardage taxes on material mined. June 25, 1938 2 Added at the end of sec. 23 of above act, a provision that the (Further amendment of sec.

For latest published map see Annual Report for 1913, p. 3170. Local cooperation.--Mine owners are required to bear all expenses incurred in complying with the orders of the Commission for regula- tion of mining and restraint of debris. Terminal facilities.-None. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Ninety-eight hydraulic mining inspections were made, at a cost of $2,687.19. Administrative work overlaps that of improvements Nos. 2, 3, and 4 hereunder and that of the Sacramento engineer district. Surveys to determine quantities of gravel mined at licensed mines, and administration, cost $5,562.14. The total cost of all activities was $8,249.33. Total expenditures were $8,481.54. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The Commission has received 1,203 applications for hydraulic mining licenses; 33 mines are licensed. Sur- veys have been made of those portions of the Yuba, Feather, Bear, and American Rivers containing large deposits of mining debris; of active mines, except those on the North Fork of Yuba River behind Bullards Bar Reservoir; and of Bullards Bar and Combie Reservoirs, to deter- mine the rate of debris movement into the several reservoirs. Plans CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 1991 have been made for flood and debris control in the Sacramento River Basin, and flood control in the San Joaquin River Basin. (See Im- provements Nos. 2, 3, and 4 hereunder.) Work remaining to be done is, in general, the continuation of the above or similar operations. The total cost of all work was $583,810.87, for maintenance. The total expenditures were $583,087.29. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended July 1, 1938, amounting to $15,391.64, will be used for payment of accounts payable, $723.58, and the remainder will be applied to maintenance as follows: Applications for permission to mine by hydraulic process will be duly investigated and considered; mines operating under existing per- mits will be regulated and necessary inspections, preparation, and ap- proval of plans, etc., will be made, as during preceding years. Studies, examinations, surveys, and miscellaneous operations will be continued. In order that the work as carried on in preceding years by the Com- mission may be continued and that the demands of the State and gen- eral public requiring consultation with the Commission may be met and the results of the Commission's studies made available thereto, the additional sum of $15,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940.

TREATMENT OF THE YUBA RIVER DEBRIS SITUATION- RESTRAINING BARRIERS Location.-The works are located on the Yuba River between Marys- ville and the place where the river emerges from the foothills, near Hammonton, some 10 miles easterly from Marysville, or about 9 miles below the Narrows. (See U. S. Geological Survey topographic map of the Sacramento Valley, Calif.) Existing project.-This provides for storage of mining debris within the bed of the Yuba River by means of a debris barrier, and by the restraint of the flow channel to narrow limits by means of training walls and other regulation works. The object of storing this debris in the Yuba River-a nonnavigable stream-is to keep it from passing into the Sacramento and Feather Rivers to the detriment of naviga- tion therein. The variation in water levels due to floods is about 12. feet. The estimate of cost for new work made in 1900 was $800,000, one-half of which was appropriated by the State of California. The latest (1922) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $30,000. (For details of this project in its original form see Annual Report, 1917, p. 1810, "Previous projects.") The existing project was adopted in a rather indefinite form by the River and Harbor Act of June 3, 1896, and in its more definite form by River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902 (H. Doc. No. 431, 56th Cong., 1st sess.). (For latest published map see U. S. Geological Sur- vey topographic map of the Sacramento Valley, Calif.) Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-None. Operations and results during fiscal year--Maintenance.--Hiredla- bor was used to clear the river channel, remove snags and drift, and cut trees overhanging from caving banks, at a cost of $621.56; and to repair embankments at the head of old sand channels and place mate- rial in levees, 16,700 cubic yards being placed, at a cost of $4,080.81. Surveys and inspections cost $598.07. Total cost of work was $5,300.44, including $4,035.58 contributed funds. Total expenditures were $5,- 064.04, of which $1,028.46 was from United States funds and $4,035.58 was from contributed funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1935. Three training walls, having a total length of 85,100 feet and providing two 500-foot channels, have been built, partly by gold-dredg- ing companies and partly by the United States. A cut was made through Daguerre Point and a concrete spillway constructed therein. The channel between Marysville and the training walls has been cleared of obstructions, dikes have been installed, and old sand chan- nels have been blocked. The result has been to hold millions of yards of mining debris in the Yuba River which would otherwise have passed into the navigable channels of the Feather and Sacramento Rivers. The total costs were as follows: Funds New work Maintenance Total United States funds____--.--- ____- __________-________ $361, 482. 28 $139, 988. 81 $501, 471.09 Contributed funds__.----------- ------------- _ _ . . -. . -.. ... 361, 776. 74 139, 307. 96 501, 084. 70 Total.........---------------- - . . ------ ------. 723, 259.02 279, 296.77 1, 002, 555.79 CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 1993 The total expenditures were $1,002,319.39, of which $501,234.69 were United States funds and $501,084.70 contributed funds. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended July 1, 1938, amounting to $5,659.65, will be used for payment of accounts payable, $236.40; and for clearing the channel between Marysville and Daguerre Point by removal of snags, brush, and trees, and blasting of hardpan; for damming heads of old channels, and for bank protec- tion, as needed, being work postponed from the last months of the fiscal year 1938 on account of high water conditions. The additional sum of $15,000 (together with an equal contribution from the State of California) can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940, between July and December, 1939, on maintenance, to clear the channel between Marysville and Daguerre Point by removal of snags, brush, and trees and blasting of hardpan; to confine the river to this channel by damming the heads of old channels; to repair, re- inforce, and protect the Daguerre Point Dam; and for bank protection on both banks from 3 to 10 miles above Marysville. The work is nec- essary to prevent debris entering the Feather and Sacramento Rivers.

CONTROL OF FLOODS, REMOVAL OF DEBRIS, AND IMPROVEMENT OF SACRAMENTO RIVER, CALIF. Location.-Forlocation of Sacramento River, see page 1708. Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 25, 1910, and was formerly reported under the title "Alleviation of debris conditions in the Sacramento and Feather Rivers." Costs under this project were $250,328.71 from United States funds and $680,000 from contributed funds, a total of $930,328.71, all for new work, prior to beginning work under the existing project in 1917. Total expenditures were $680,000 each from United States funds and contributed funds. For further details of this work see Annual Report for 1917, page 1815 et seq. Existing project.-This provides for enlargement of the river chan- nel below the mouth of Cache Slough, for making two cut-offs be- tween the mouth of the Feather River and Colusa, for construction of four bypass weirs and the reconstruction of another, for construc- tion of outfall gates at the mouth of Butte Slough, for construction of levees including certain drainage pumping plants, for a 5-year program of construction of bank-protection works and levee set- backs, and for maintenance, during construction of these works, of the enlarged river channel below Cache Slough, including revetment of banks of the cut, and maintenance and operation during this period, of the gaging stations on navigable rivers and streams. The existing project as adopted by the Flood Control Act of March 1, 1917, and modified by the Flood Control Act of May 15, 1928, and River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937, contains the following provisions and conditions: (a) That the United States assume responsibility for execution and cost of all work of enlargement and rectification of river channels and construction of weirs, including future purchases of land and easements for spoil areas. (b) That the United States contribute one-half the cost of con- struction of levees to grade and cross-section adopted by the Cali- fornia Debris Commission, provided the remaining funds needed be placed at the disposal of the Commission and the work be done by it. (c) That the contribution of the United States is estimated at $20,100,000. (d) That annual appropriations be $1,000,000. (e) That the United States return to the State of California the amount expended on the project by the California Debris Commis- sion from funds contributed by the State at the time of the modi- fication approved by the Flood Control Act of May 15, 1928. (f) That the United States construct bank protection works and levee set-backs substantially as included in the 5-year program recom- mended by the California Debris Commission in Senate committee print, Seventy-fifth Congress, first session, and maintain the en- larged channel of the river below Cache Slough, including revetment 1996 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 of its banks; and operate and maintain gaging stations on navigable rivers and streams during this period, all at an estimated total cost to the United States of $2,500,000, subject to the conditions set forth in the paragraph Local cooperation. The estimate of cost of the modified project, including new work and maintenance (made in 1937), is $24,284,000, exclusive of amounts expended under the previous project. This estimate includes the sums to be contributed by local interests, of $3,191,500 for levee con- struction, and $992,500 for bank-protection works and levee set-backs during the period of the above 5-year program. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of March 1, 1917 (H. Doc. No. 81, 62d Cong., 1st sess., as modified by Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 5, 63d Cong., 1st sess.), and modified by the Flood Control Act of May 15, 1928 (S. Doc. No. 23, 69th Cong., 1st sess.), and again modified by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (Senate committee print, 75th Cong., 1st sess). For latest published maps, see the last two documents. Local cooperation.-The Flood Control Act of May 15, 1928, pro- vides that local interests are to contribute one-half the cost of con- struction of project levees, or $3,191,500, and furnish the lands, rights- of-way and easements therefor. The River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937, adopted the modified project which provides that the State of California shall assure, by appropriate legislation, the execution and maintenance of the re- mainder of the general flood control project, not being done or to be done by the United States and make illegal any levee, ditches, or other works in the bypasses or on the lands reserved for overflow that might reduce or impede the flood run-off, unless approved by the California Debris Commission; and shall hold and save the United States from damages due to construction works, and provides further, that the bank revetment for protection of levees above Cache Slough, and the levee reconstruction recommended in the latest proj- ect document (Senate committee print, 75th Cong., 1st sess.), shall not be undertaken until the State of California, political subdivisions thereof, or responsible local agencies have agreed to provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way for said works, including the cost of all .alterations to highways, road crossings, and drainage and irrigation facilities incident to the work, and shall have contributed one-third of the cost of bank revetment and levee reconstruction, with the understanding that the contribu- tion of funds will be made as required by the progress of the work; and the State of California is to undertake the operation of the mov- able top of Sacramento Weir, in accordance with the schedules estab- lished by the California Debris Commission. Terminal facilities.-See page 1709. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-The Gov- ernment pipe line dredge Sacremento removed 122,775 cubic yards from the project channel about 3 miles below Cache Slough as channel enlargement, at a cost of $23,396.01, including work on spoil area. Clamshell dredging plant under hourly basis contract for its hire and operation removed 10,880 cubic yards from the project channel in the same vicinity, as channel enlargement, at a cost of $2,074.12, placing the material in a retaining embankment; and removed 11,000 cubic CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 1997 yards from outside the project channel, at a cost of $2,332.09, placing the material in a retaining embankment, near the mouth of the river. Preliminary surveys for levees were made by hired labor, at a cost of $46,426.81. Miscellaneous work was done by hired labor at the three pumping plants in Sutter Bypass, at a cost of $2,044.45, paid equally from Public Works and contributed funds. Contractors placed 3,308,305 cubic yards in levees along Yolo Bypass, Bear River, Feather River, Sacramento River, and other tributaries, at a cost of $453,959.05. Government plant and plant under contract for its hire and operation, and hired labor placed 919,532 cubic yards in levees along Yolo Bypass, Bear River, Feather River, Sacramento River, Yuba River, and other tributaries, at a cost of $337,002.17.

Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 80 percent completed. The total excavation under the existing and previous projects, for new work and maintenance, is 182,721,474 cubic yards, of which 146,619,365 cubic yards, including 5,093,930 cubic yards for maintenance were excavated by United States hydraulic dredges, 22,707,796 cubic yards by contract hydraulic dredges, and 13,394,313 cubic yards by contract clamshell dredges. It is estimated that this has produced a channel with a capacity of 570,000 second-feet below Cache Slough. In addition, 21,000 second-feet will leave the Sacra- mento River through Georgiana Slough. A total of 17,992,435 cubic yards has been placed in levees along: the project waterways. Cut-offs at Collins Eddy and between Wild Irishman and Kinneys Bends were made in 1918 and 1919, respec- tively.

SACRAMENTO RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES, CALIF. (DEBRIS CONTROL) Location.-The project reservoirs will be constructed in the water- sheds of the Yuba, Bear, and American Rivers, Calif. (See U. S. Geological Survey sheets for the basin areas, seven in number,) Existing project.-The project was designed to permit the resump- tion of hydraulic mining on a substantial scale and provides for the construction of four reservoirs at the following sites: (1) The Upper Narrows on the Yuba River; (2) the North Fork site on the North Fork of the American River; (3) the Ruck-A-Chucky site on the Middle Fork of the American River; and (4) the Dog Bar site on the Bear River. The estimated cost for new work made in 1935 is $6,945,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 50, 74th Cong., 1st sess.). For latest published map see the project document. Local cooperation.-Satisfactory assurances are to be furnished the Secretary of War for repayment of the capital cost of the reservoirs from taxes on material hydraulically mined, under licenses, and im- pounded in these reservoirs. These have been furnished and accepted for sites (1), (2), and (3) above. Terminal facilities.-None required. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Work preliminary to actual construction was under way at the North Fork, Ruck-a- Chucky, and Upper Narrows Reservoir sites. Geological exploration by cuts, tunnels, and core drilling was completed at these three sites 2006 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 (except for a small amount of supplementary borings to be taken at the Ruck-a-Chucky site), at a cost of $98,478.78. Construction and repairs of roads and trails cost $35,833.59. Surveys cost $35,808.39; and preparation of plans and specifications cost $10,064.13. Debris pressure tests cost $7,393.60, and testing of aggregates for concrete was done at a cost of $896.22. Under a contract for construction of the North Fork Dam, in May and June, the dam site was cleared of brush and trees at a cost of $2,000; excavation of 11,554 cubic yards for the dam foundation was made, above the 600-foot contour, at a cost of $18,486.40; and 442 square feet of channeling or drilling and broaching of vertical rock surfaces was done, at a cost of $663. Total cost under the contract was $21,149.40; Government expense, including surveys, inspection, superintendence, and miscellaneous work, was $7,420.95; total con- tract cost was $28,570.35. Total cost of all activities was $217,045.06, and total expenditures were $202,737.38. Condition at end of fiscal year.--Geological exploration at the North Fork, Ruck-a-Chucky, and Upper Narrows Reservoir sites has been completed, except for a small amount of supplementary borings to be taken at the Ruck-a-Chucky site. Construction by contract of the North Fork Dam is under way, and a contract has been let for clearing its reservoir site.- Surveys have been made, connecting roads and trails built, rights-of-way have been acquired or are being ac- quired as needed, and suspension bridges have been built at the Ruck- a-Chucky and Upper Narrows sites. Plans and specifications are being completed for the Ruck-a-Chucky and Upper Narrows Dams. Tests of gravel for concrete aggregates, and debris pressure tests have been made. Work has been postponed on the Dog Bar site on Bear River, due to litigation involving the mining interests. The total cost of all activities was $311,042.45, for new work, and the total expenditures were $279,289.99. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended July 1, 1938, amounting to $1,024,710.01, including accounts receivable, and $1,000,- 000 allotted during July 1938 will be applied during the fiscal year 1939 as follows: Accounts payable ---------------------------------------- $35, 743.95 New work (during entire fiscal year) : Completion of construction, by contract, of the dam at the North Fork site on the North Fork of American River, to create a reservoir for the storage of hydraulic mining debris-------------------------------------------- 461,000.00 Beginning construction, by contract, of the dam at the Ruck-a- Chucky site on the Middle Fork of American River, to cre- ate a reservoir for the storage of hydraulic mining debris__ 315, 000.00 Beginning construction, by contract, of a dam at the Upper Narrows site on Yuba River, to create a reservoir for the storage of hydraulic mining debris (total cost estimated at $4,300,000) ------------------ ---------------------- 1,212, 966. 06 Total---- ---------------------------------- 2, 024, 710. 01 The additional sum of $3,600,000 can be profitably expended for new work during the fiscal year 1940, for completion of the Ruck-a- Chucky Dam and Reservoir on the Middle Fork of American River, and for contract obligations for completion of construction of the dam and reservoir at the Upper Narrows site on Yuba River.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2009 The total expenditures made to June 30, 1938, were $2,378,796.88. The unexpended balance amounting to $75,397.93, was revoked. MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION Commission headquarters.-Vicksburg (Miss.) Office, Johnston Circle, Vicksburg National Military Park. Address, P. O. Box 80. Commissioners.-The commissioners during the fiscal year were Brig. Gen. H. B. Ferguson, Corps of Engineers, president; Edward Flad, civil engineer; Col. Ernest Graves, United States Army, re- tired; Leo O. Colbert, rear admiral, United States Coast and Geodetic Survey; Albert L. Culbertson; Harry N. Pharr, civil engineer; and Col. F. B. Wilby, Corps of Engineers. The Mississippi River Commission, constituted by act of Congress of June 28, 1879, is in charge of the improvements of the Mississippi River from Head of Passes to the mouth of the Ohio River, including the rectification of Red and Atchafalaya Rivers at their junction with the Mississippi, the building of levees, and the improvement of the several harbors for which specific appropriations have been made. It was charged with the survey of the Mississippi River from Head of Passes to its headwaters and with gaging the river and its tribu- taries. Act of Congress approved March 4, 1913, provided funds for levees from Cape Girardeau, Mo., to Rock Island, Ill., and acts approved July 27, 1916, and March 1, 1917, provided for continua- tion of levee work between those points and extended the jurisdiction of the Commission to include work on the Ohio River from its mouth to the mouth of the Cache River, and on the Arkansas River from its mouth to its intersection with the division line between Lincoln and Jefferson Counties, Ark. By act of Congress approved September 22, 1922, the jurisdiction of the Commission was extended for purposes of levee and bank protection to the tributaries and outlets of the Missis- sippi River between Cairo, Ill., and Head of Passes, and by act of Congress approved March 4, 1923, jurisdiction was extended to in- clude the tributaries and outlets of the Mississippi between Rock Island, Ill., and Head of Passes, insofar as they may be affected by the floodwaters of the Mississippi River. By the act of May 15, 1928, the project authorized therein is to be prosecuted by the Mississippi River Commission under the direction of the Secretary of War and supervision of the Chief of Engineers and subject to the provisions of that act. Location.-The Mississippi River rises above Lake Itasca, Minn. It flows in a general southerly direction 2,434 miles, and empties into the Gulf of Mexico. (See Mississippi River Commission maps and charts.) Previous projects.-The original project contained in the report of the Mississippi River Commission, dated February 17, 1880, contem- plated the permanent fixing and improvement of the channel to a depth of at least 10 feet at the extreme low water by the contraction of the low-water width to about 3,000 feet, the protection of the banks against caving, and the control of the floodwater by means of levees. See page 1944, annual report for 1932. Existing project.-The existing project provides for the protection of the alluvial valley of the Mississippi, consisting of the St. Francis, the Yazoo, the Tensas, and the Atchafalaya Basins, as well as the alluvial lands around Lake Pontchartrain, from the maximum flood 2010 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 predicted as possible. This is to be done by raising existing levees about 3 feet and strengthening them greatly and by permitting flood waters in excess of what the leveed channel will safely carry to find their 'way to the Gulf through the natural floodways in the lowlands of the basins adjacent to the river, which lowlands have always carried extraordinary floodwaters. Protecting levees are planned on the edges of these natural floodways so as to restrain the waters within them so far as practicable and to protect the good lands outside. These protecting levees are to be located so as to reclaim the maximum amount of land that is economically justified, and where there are already such levees (for example, in the Atchafalaya Basin), the project contemplates using the same levees but strength- ening them. The floodwaters will not escape into the floodways until they have reached a dangerous stage in the main leveed channel. This insures that the lands within the floodways will be subject to overflow only during extraordinary floods. In general, the lands within the floodways will be protected from all floods except those extraordinary floods which occur on an average of only once in from 10 to 15 years. A limited area in the St. Francis Basin in south- east Missouri, and the city of Cairo, Ill., is to be given additional safety by a floodway between Birds Point and New Madrid, Mo., which will, during extraordinary floods only, become an adjunct of the main channel and thereby widen the river and hold down stages. The city of New Orleans is to be given adequate protection by a controlled spillway at Bonnet Carre emptying into Lake Pontchar- train from the river above the city. The project also provides for revetting to stabilize the river channel and prevent excessive caving of banks, supplemented by contraction works and dredging, to insure a navigable channel of not less than 300 feet wide and 9 feet deep (mouth of Ohio River to Head of Passes near the Gulf of Mexico, a distance of 1,070 miles ) ; for flood-control work on the Mississippi River between Rock Island, Ill., and Cape Girardeau, Mo., and on tributaries and outlets, insofar as they are affected by backwater of the Mississippi; for rescue work or in the repair or maintenance of any flood-control work on any tributaries threatened or destroyed by flood, including the flood of 1927; and for examinations, surveys, and projects to be made as speedily as possible for flood control on the tributary streams and reimbursement of levee districts or others for expenditures heretofore incurred or made in repair, etc., of flood-control works destroyed, etc., by the flood of 1927 or subse- quent flood or caving banks on any tributaries or outlets of the Mis- sissippi River; for flood control of the St. Francis River, Mo. and Ark.; for a backwater levee at mouth of White River, Ark.; for construction of the Eudora floodway, Arkansas and Louisiana, in lieu of the Boeuf floodway, Arkansas and Louisiana; for flood con- trol of the Yazoo River, Miss.; for construction of the Morganza floodway, Louisiana; for construction of an outlet to the Gulf of Mexico, west of Berwick, La.; for the United States to provide drain- age made necessary by the construction of floodways; for the con- struction of roads on levees; and for purchase of flowage rights in 1 The River and Harbor Act of June 20, 1938, modified the project (adopted by act of Jan. 21, 1927) for improvement of the Mississippi River between Baton Rouge and New Orleans (H.

The act approved April 23, 1934 (Public, No. 171, 73d Cong.), provides as follows: * * * That the Secretary of War is authorized, out of any money avail- able for carrying out the provisions of the act entitled "An act for the control of floods on the Mississippi River and its tributaries, and for other purposes," approved May 15, 1928, to purchase from, or to reimburse States or local levee districts for the cost of, any levee rights-of-way or easements for the building of levees in the Mississippi Valley for which the United States was or is under obligation to pay under the provisions of the act of May 15, 1928, regardless of whether said States or local levee districts have furnished such rights-of-way in the past and regardless of the conditions under which such levee rights-of- way were furnished, or may be furnished in the future: Provided, That after careful investigation the prices are found to be reasonable: And provided further, That payments or reimbursements for levee rights-of-way or easements conveying the privilege of building levees may be made as soon as they have MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2013 been acquired in conformity with local custom or legal procedure in such matters and to the satisfaction of the Chief of Engineers. The requirements of the above provisions as to local cooperation have been and are being fully complied with. The act approved June 15, 1936 (Public, No. 678, 74th Cong.), provides as follows: SEC. 4. That neither of the projects for the flood control of the Saint Francis River or the Yazoo River,2 hereby authorized, shall be undertaken until the States or other qualified agencies shall have furnished satisfactory assurances that they will undertake, without cost to the United States, all alterations of highways made necessary because of the construction of the authorized reser- voirs, and meet all damages because of such highway alterations, and have agreed also to furnish without cost to the United States all lands and easements neces- sary to the construction of levees and drainage ditches constructed under this project : Provided, That the reservoirs-for control of headwater flow of the Yazoo River system may be located by the Chief of Engineers, in his discretion: And provided further, That the Chief of Engineers may, in his discretion, substitute levees, floodways, or auxiliary channels, or any or all of them, for any or all of the seven detention reservoirs recommended in his report of February 12, 1935, for the control of floods of the Yazoo River: And provided further, That the Chief of Engineers, with the approval of the Secretary of War, may modify the project for the flood control of the Saint Francis River as recommended in said report, to include therein the construction of a detention reservoir for the reduc- tion of floods, and the acquisition at the cost of the United States of all lands and flowage necessary to the construction of said reservoir except flowage of highways: Provided further, That the estimated cost to the United States of the project is not increased by reason of such detention reservoir. SEC. 5. The Chief of Engineers, under the supervision of the Secretary of War, shall at the expense of the United States Government construct a system of levees substantially in accordance with general plan shown on map designated as sheet Numbered 1, entitled "Tributary Levee Location Survey-White River Levee Dis- trict-Proposed Levee Location," accompanying report dated April 2, 1925, and filed in office of First and Second Mississippi River Commission Districts, Mem- phis, Tennessee. The Chief of Engineers shall have the right to alter, change, or modify said plan as to the grades and levee sections: Provided, however, That no work shall be commenced on the above-mentioned project until the State, levee boards, or other responsible local interests have given assurances satis- factory to the Secretary of War that they will (a) provide without cost to the United States all rights-of-way necessary for the construction of said project; (b) provide drainage facilities made necessary by construction of levees; (c) acquire and provide without cost to the United States all flowage and storage rights and easements over, upon, and across the lands and properties within the protected area in the event it becomes necessary in the judgment and discre- tion of the Secretary of War or the Chief of Engineers to use said area, or any part thereof, for an emergency reservoir; (d) hold and save the United States free from liability for damages on account of the use of said area for reservoir purposes during said emergency.

(967), via Mississippi River, with in- spection on board the steamer General John Newton of works in the Atchafalaya Basin between Simmesport and Morgan City, La., includ- a Figures in parentheses denote distance in miles below Cairo, Ill., gage. MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2015 ing inspection of construction of Wax Lake outlet, thence to New Orleans via Atchafalaya River and Intracoastal Waterway. Public hearings were given to representatives of navigation, levee, commer- cial, and other interests at these sessions. Surveys gages, and observations.-Gageswere maintained and dis- charge and slope observations made. Surveys were made over impor- tant works and along caving banks. Floodway, outlet, dam and reservoir, levee repair and set-back, revetment, dike, hydrographic, aerial, precise level, and construction surveys were also made. Obser- vations and surveys were made in connection with the progress of cut-offs and channel rectification and stabilization on the Mississippi River and Atchafalaya Basin. Publication of the topographic map of the alluvial valley lower Mississippi River, scale 1: 62,500, was continued. Bank protection and regulation.-Below Cairo 3,902 linear feet (0.7 mile) of new revetment was constructed and placed for bank protec- tion; in addition, about 2,246,860 square feet of concrete mattress, 146,000 square feet of riprap, 763,800 square feet of asphalt revetment, 57,300 square feet of concrete paving, and 729,500 square feet of stone paving (riprap) were constructed and placed as repairs to and re- newals of existing bank-protection work. Under the contraction- works program, Mississippi River, 22,870 linear feet of sand dikes were constructed; minor maintenance work was carried on in connection with existing contraction works. Levees.- A total of 20,404,844 cubic yards of material was placed in levees during the fiscal year, of which 18,462,271 cubic yards were placed under section 1 on the main river; 1,202,421 cubic yards under section 6 on the upper Mississippi or on tributaries; and 740,152 cubic yards under sections 6 and 7 (repairs of flood damage) of the act of May 15, 1928. In addition, 159,868 cubic yards of material were placed in levees in the Memphis district with Emergency Relief Act funds (18,476 cubic yards at Clarendon, Ark., on White River, and 141,392 cubic yards on Arkansas River levees, North Little Rock to Gillett, Ark. (below Plum Bayou), the yardage placed at the latter two places is reported in the annual report of the Memphis district, river and harbor work). Floodways, spillway, and outlet and backwater levee.-The Birds Point-New Madrid 'set-back levee and the intercepting drainage ditch and appurtenant structures have been completed. Final judgment has not been secured on the levee right-of-way across the Missouri Pacific Railroad right-of-way. The fuse-plug levees have not been de-graded to project grade. Flowage rights have not been acquired on 0.8 percent of floodway lands pending action in the circuit court of appeals, and 15.3 percent of the floodway lands pending completion of case in Court of Claims. Crevasses in the front line levee from the 1937 flood have been repaired except in lower portion, and the flood- way, despite heavy building damage, enjoyed excellent crops after the flood. Concrete levee walls along the banks of Ouachita River in Monroe and West Monroe, La., are complete; protection levees for Monroe, West Monroe, and north to Bastrop, La., are complete. Construction of the Eudora floodway, Arkansas and Louisiana, was authorized 2016 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 by act approved June 15, 1936, in lieu of the Boeuf floodway, Arkansas and Louisiana. Plans and estimates for the Eudora floodway through Bayou Macon Basin were continued during the fiscal year; right-of-way and ownership surveys were made of the area in Ar- kansas and Louisiana; preparation of tract maps and appraisal by the Department of Agriculture and Forestry Service was completed; taking of options was begun in the area in Arkansas and Louisiana in May 1937 and suspended in May 1938. Property surveys and mapping have been completed of the Mor- ganza floodway except for minor changes required from time to time as a result of changes in ownership. Topographic survey and map- ping of the floodway area north of the approximate latitude of Krotz Springs were completed during the fiscal year. Surveys of locations for high-level railroad and highway crossings were made, and soil borings taken along these routes. Soil borings were also made on a tentative location for a dredged channel included in one of the alter- nate floodway plans under consideration. Location of the upper guide levee, extending from the Mississippi River levee near Batchelor to the East Atchafalaya River levee near Red Cross, has been approved. Surveys of this location have been made, and specifications for the construction of this levee are being prepared. Negotiations with the proper agencies relating to the high-level highway and railroad cross- ings are in progress. Property surveys and mapping have been completed of the West Atchafalaya floodway except for minor changes required from time to time as a result of changes in ownership. Studies of drainage condi- tions affected by the construction of the West Atchafalaya Basin protection levee are in progress. Options for purchase of flowage easements have been obtained covering approximately 89.0 percent of the value of the lands in the floodway. Studies in the Atchafalaya Basin were continued; dredging opera- tions were carried on during the year to develop a main channel from Alabama Bayou to Grand Lake to improve the discharge of floodwaters. The west levee line now furnishes protection from near Hamburg, La., to Charenton, La., with the exception of an opening at Grand Avoille Cove which will be closed when the Charenton Navigation and Drainage Canal is constructed, and for several rela- tively small gaps for drainage and transportation facilities which can be readily closed in an emergency. Completion of a contract now in effect will extend the west levee line from Charenton, La., to the head of Wax Lake Outlet. The east levee line now furnishes interim protection from Viva, La., to Morganza, La., and complete protection from Viva, La., to Morgan City, La., except for a navigation cut below Little Bayou Pigeon, small gaps left for transportation facili- ties, which can be readily closed in an emergency, and in certain locations, particularly in the southern portion of the basin, where considerable difficulty is being experienced in bringing levees to full grade and section due to numerous slides and foundation failures. Borrow pits for both the east and west levees have been enlarged in locations where they were inadequate for purposes of drainage and navigation. At Wax Lake Outlet, dredging the channel and building the west guide levee with dredge spoil was begun on November 8, 1937, under a contract involving the excavation of approximately 22,100,000 cubic MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2017 yards. Work under this contract was approximately 58 percent com- plete as of June 30, 1938. When this contract is completed, there will be provided a channel of project depth, and of half the project width, extending from Six Mile Lake to the lower end of Wax Lake, except for a "plug" some 1,200 feet in length, at the site of the high- way and railroad crossings. This will be removed after the bridges are constructed. Negotiations with highway and railroad officials concerning the channel crossings for these facilities are in progress. Options were obtained on all tracts of land involved in this project except one, in which case it was necessary to institute condemnation proceedings for the sole purpose of clearing the title. The construction of the Bonnet Carre spillway structure was com- pleted on February 10, 1931; both guide levees were completed in the late summer of 1932; bridges were completed, the front levee de- graded, and the system in readiness for operation in time for use during the flood season of 1936. It was operated during the high water of 1937, the operation continuing from January 28 through March 16, 1937. The maximum discharge of approximately 211,000 cubic feet per second was recorded on February 25, 1937, with 285 of the 350 bays open. Maximum discharge, .with all bays in operation, as contemplated in the act of May 15, 1928, is 250,000 cubic feet per second. During the current fiscal year the spillway structure and floodway were maintained and flow conditions within the floodway were improved by excavating a distributing channel from the upper levee borrow pit toward the center of the floodway, and with the spoil constructing a spur dike to divert the current from the borrow pit near this levee, and by clearing within the floodway. The clear- ing consisted of converting the area near the river, which was orig- inally in cultivation, into pasture, and clearing undergrowth and small trees in a central strip through the wooded area, from the vicinity of the Airline Highway to the vicinity of the Illinois Central Railroad. River stages occurring this year did not necessitate the operation of the spillway. Construction of the White River backwater levee was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 15, 1936. Surveys and plans for this work have been completed, and it is expected to initiate levee construction to an interim grade early in fiscal year 1939. Dams and reservoirs.-The St. Francis River project was author- ized by the Flood Control Act approved June 15, 1936. The levee and reservoir plan, recommended by the Chief of Engineers on May 13, 1937, was approved by the Secretary of War on June 29, 1937. Surveys and plans for the Wappapello Dam included in the St. Francis project have been completed, and it is expected to initiate construction early in fiscal year 1939. The following covers information concerning Sardis Dam and Reservoir, Mississippi (Yazoo Basin). The works covered by this project are located on Little Tallahatchie River about 6 miles south- east of Sardis, Miss. The existing project provides for the construc- tion of an earth dam and reservoir for flood control on Little Talla- hatchie and Yazoo Rivers. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 15, 1936, which is based on report published in House Document No. 198, Seventy-third Congress, second session, and report of Chief of Engineers printed in House Committee 2018 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 on Flood Control Document No. 1, Seventy-fourth Congress, first ses- sion. Operations during the fiscal year 1936 consisted of surveys, borings, designs, and land appraisals were begun. During the fiscal year 1937 studies, plans, and designs were continued; clearing of reser- voir, dam site, and borrow-pit areas, grubbing of dam site and con- struction of roads and bridges was begun; by use of hired labor, work in connection with the embankment was started; a contract for con- struction of a portion of the dam was awarded June 14, 1937. During the fiscal year 1938 work on construction camp, field surveys, and preparation of maps; construction of floating plant, including a hydraulic dredge and derrick barge; construction of roads and bridges, transmission lines, and substation were completed; model studies of outlet works and spillway were completed at United States Water- ways Experiment Station; analysis of samples from hydraulic fill borrow pit was completed and analysis of samples from rolled fill, hydraulic fill, and special silt investigation was continued. Two and four-tenths percent of clearing on 1,076 acres of dam site was com- pleted, bringing the total of completion to 96.7 percent; grubbing of 466 acres of dam site was continued, bringing the total of completion to 85.9 percent; clearing of 39.1 percent of reservoir area was com- pleted; abstracts in connection with land acquisition were continued, this work being 68.4 percent complete; 1,668,530 cubic yards, or 60.9 percent, of excavation and 1,212,222 cubic yards, or 61 percent, of rolled fill were completed by contract; 1,624,000 cubic yards, or 30 percent, of hydraulic fill and 2,467,000 cubic yards, or 43 percent, of hydraulic excavation were completed by hired labor; the sawmill cut 947,055 feet board measure; work on pipe toe drain system was be- gun; a contract was let May 10, 1938, for construction of outlet struc- tures, and work was started; plans, studies, and designs were con- tinued. Specifications for rolled fill, hydraulic fill, outlet works, and spillway are complete. The entire Sardis Dam and reservoir is 18 percent completed; the cost of work to June 30, 1938, was $2,527,- 194.95, exclusive of $100,000 cost of surveys, designs and soil studies (Yazoo Basin). Dredging operations-Channel-naintenancedredging.--Duringthe dredging season of 1937, ending June 30, 1938, in the Memphis district, 7 dredges and 1 pump barge were operated on the Mississippi River on 55 crossings from Henry Nye to Riverton, 7 to 397 miles below Cairo, Ill., gage, and a total of 26,108,704 cubic yards of material was moved; in the Vicksburg district, two pump barges were operated, moving a total of 1,170,201 cubic yards, as follows: Cat Fish Tow- head (419)," 102,036 cubic yards; Island No. 76 (413), 388,204 cubic yards; Choctaw Bar (431), 417,219 cubic yards; American cut-off (495), 262,742 cubic yards; in the second New Orleans district chan- nel-maintenance dredging was required in only one instance at Natchez Island (711) during the period December 18 to 22, when the gage at Natchez, Miss. (706), was at the record low for the year, a total of 99,415 cubic yards of material was moved. With the excep- tion of the dredging at Cat Fish Towhead, Island 76, Choctaw, Ameri- can cut-off and Natchez Island, no other channel maintenance dredg- ing was required in the Vicksburg or second New Orleans districts.

Waterways Experiment Station.-The Waterways Experiment Sta- tion operating under the direction of the President, Mississippi River Commission, comprises a hydraulics division and a soil mechanics 3Figures in parentheses denote distance in miles below Cairo, Ill., gage. * Distance In miles below head of Atchafalaya River, through main channel, Atchafalaya Basin. MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2021 division, together with the necessary administrative and general serv- ice facilities for the conduct of experimental work. Each of these divi- sions is in turn subdivided into a laboratory and a research center. The laboratory, as its name implies, has as its function the experi- mental investigation of all hydraulic and soils problems presented to this station for study. The hydraulics and soil mechanics research centers, established by authorization of the Chief of Engineers in 1937 and 1936, respectively, are charged with the assembling of experi- mental data from all available sources, foreign and domestic; the analyzing and interpreting of these data; and the disseminating of these data to the various districts and divisions of the Engineer De- partment. The dissemination of information of general interest to the entire Engineer Department is accomplished, in part, by the peri- odic issue of a pamphlet known as the "Experiment Station Bulletin." Volume 1, No. 1, of this bulletin was issued on June 1, 1938. Seven experiments were undertaken in the hydraulic laboratory for the Mississippi River Commission and lower Mississippi Valley division. These experiments concerned the following problems: Determination of the effects of cut-offs and improvements in the Atchafalaya Basin, determination of the effects of operating the White River backwater levee, and studies concerned with the design and performance of spill- ways and outlet structures. Twelve studies were undertaken for Engi- neer districts outside the lower Mississippi Valley division. These studies were distributed as follows: Little Rock district, 1; St. Louis district, 5; Cincinnati district, 1; Louisville district, 1; Pittsburgh dis- trict, 1; Philadelphia district, 1; Galveston district, 1; New York dis- trict, 1. One study was conducted for a nongovernmental agency. These 13 studies were concerned with flood control, channel improve- ment for navigation, harbor improvement, and design of spillways and outlet structures. The soil mechanics laboratory conducted studies for the Mississippi River Commission and lower Mississippi Valley division. These studies included sediment analyses, soils in- vestigations, and detailed studies of seepage through and under levees under widely varying conditions. Investigations by the soil me- chanics laboratory for districts outside the lower Mississippi Valley division were distributed as follows: Mobile district, 6; St. Paul dis- trict, 2; Galveston district, 4; First New Orleans district, 2; Cali- fornia Debris Commission, 1. The soil mechanics laboratory also conducted a study for the Vicksburg National Military Park of the National Park Service. High water of 1938.-Memphis district: Except for a short period of time during the middle of January, the Mississippi River ranged from a midbank to an approximately bankfull stage throughout the last half of the fiscal year 1938. A near bankfull stage prevailed for approximately 1 month from the latter part of March to the latter part of April and reached a maximum stage of 45.0 feet on the Cairo gage on April 16. Stages above flood stage occurred on the Arkansas and White Rivers during February, when the Mississippi River was well confined within its banks. A crest stage of 28.1 feet was recorded on February 22 at Little Rock, Ark., on the Arkansas River, and 35.05 feet on March 1 at Clarendon, Ark., on the White River. Flood stages occurred on the upper and middle St. Francis River during March and April. Vicksburg district: High water of 1938 on the Missis- 2022 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 sippi River occurred in April and bankfull stage was not reached at any point. Crest stage was 37.4 at Arkansas City, 36.5 at Greenville,. 34.6 at Lake Providence, and 41.7 at Vicksburg, ranging from 0.3 foot at Vicksburg to 6.6 feet at Arkansas City below bankfull stages. On Red River, bankfull stage of 28 feet at Garland City was exceeded January 27-31, February 21-March 2, and April 3-6, with crest of 35.5 on February 24. Several levee crevasses occurred in Arkansas. At Shreveport bankfull stage of 39 feet was not exceeded, the crest being 33.5 on March 1. At Alexandria bankfull stage of 32 feet was exceeded January 30-February 13, February 21-March 16, and April 5 to May 1, with a crest of 39.77 on March 8. On the Ouachita River the highest stage of record, 29.0 feet, occurred at Arkadelphia, Ark., on February 19. The crest of 41.4 occurred at Monroe April 23-28, and was slightly above bankfull stage of 40 feet March 6-13 and April 17-May 5. Second district, New Orleans: There was no high- water fight in the second district, New Orleans, during the fiscal year 1937-38. Highest gage readings were recorded during the spring, from April 25 through May 1, 1938, with maximum readings on prin- cipal Mississippi River gages as follows: Natchez, 46.9 feet; Baton Rouge, 36.9 feet; Plaquemine, 32.9 feet; Donaldsonville, 28.9 feet; and Carrollton, 16.7 feet.

A resurvey from Cairo, Ill., to the Head of Passes, La., a distance of 1,070 miles, has been completed and maps published. Surveys in connection with topographic quad- rangle map of alluvial valley lower Mississippi River, from Cape Girardeau, Mo., at head of St. Francis Basin, to the Gulf of Mexico, have been made and the map is now in process of publication. Special MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2025 surveys, including surveys of the Atchafalaya River and portion of' the Red and Black Rivers, have been made. Various discharge, gage,. sediment, and other observations have been made on the Mississippi River and tributaries and the Gulf of Mexico. Works for the im- provement of the channel have been executed at various places below Cairo and levees built for flood control from Rock Island, Ill., to, near Head of Passes, La., 484 miles above to 1,070 miles below Cairo. Effective revetment below Cairo is now in place and in good condition: on about 137 miles of river bank; about one-half mile of pile and rock groins for bank protection and about 34 miles of permeable dikes and about 12 miles of sand dikes for channel regulation are also in place. There are 2,946 miles of levee (2,073 miles, sec. 1, main river, and 873" miles, sec. 6, upper river and tributaries), with earthwork aggregating 1.,013,070,069 5 cubic yards (923,154,521 cubic yards, sec. 1, and 89,915,- 548 cubic yards, sec. 6). The existing levee system protects a total of about 27,855 square miles (26,312 square miles, sec. 1, and 1,543 square miles under sec. 6 of act approved May 15, 1928) of land against ordinary floods, about 90.6 6 percent of the total yardage required to complete the levees under section 1 to the adopted grade and section is now in place, and about 65.3 percent of the total yardage required to complete the levees under section 6 to the approved grade and section is now in place. There is now, with rare exceptions, a good navigable channel at all stages, with a depth of 9 feet or more over a width of at least 300 feet for a distance of 726 ' miles below Cairo and a depth of not less than 35 feet over a width of several hundred feet for the remaining 240' miles to the Gulf of Mexico. The necessary plant required for surveys, dredging, and bank protection and contraction work has been con- structed and maintained. 6 Includes 21,572,865 cubic yards to be abandoned in course of construction, 20,572,865 cubic yards under sec. 1, and 1,000,000 cubic yards under sec. 6. 6 The percentage was revised due to closer surveys and inclusion of yardage to be placed for Arkansas City ring levee, White River backwater levee, Morganza floodway levees, and outlet west of Berwick (Wax Lake outlet levee). The percentage of completion of work under sec. 1, excluding the above items and ring levees at Simmesport, Melville, and Ferriday, is 95.3. No detailed estimate is available of ,yardage required for Eudora floodway. 7This mileage is based on navigation of cut-offs at Caulk, Ashbrook, Tarplev, Leland, Worthington, Sarah, Willow, Marshall, Diamond, Yucatan, Rodney, Giles, and Glasscock (June 1938). 2026 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

(just below Cape Girardeau, Mo.), mile 51, above Cairo, Ill., on right bank) to lower limits of Rock Island district (Hamburg Bay, Ill., mile 263, above Cairo, Ill., on left bank and Clarksville, Mo., mile 275, above Cairo, Ill., on right bank) 224 miles on left (east) bank and 217 miles on right (west) bank. This district has charge also of flood-control operations within the limits of Mississippi River backwater influence on the Illinois and Missouri Rivers. The juris- diction of Commission as to flood control was extended to include the backwater zones of tributaries of the Mississippi River by the Flood Control Act of 1923. The limit of the jurisdiction thus conferred has been taken as the point beyond which a levee designed for protection against maximum flood of the tributary alone would not have to be made higher by reason of possible high water of the Mississippi River. In other words, it is the point where the backwater curve from the maximum Mississippi River flood meets the maximum flood line of the tributary. On the Illinois River this point has been fixed at mile 120, near Havana, Ill., and on the Missouri River at St. Charles, Mo. District headquarters are at St. Louis, Mo.

EXISTING PROJECT The existing project is set forth in the Flood Control Act approved May 15, 1928, and amendment approved June 15, 1936, published in the Annual Reports of the Chief of Engineers, United States Army, for 1929, page 1924; and 1936, page 1679, respectively. Amendments to the existing project are also contained in acts approved June 19, 1930, February 15, 1933, April 23, 1934, August 28, 1937, and June 28, 1938; excerpts from the latter act are printed on following page. The work proposed includes: 1. Flood protection along the Mississippi River from Rock Island, Ill., to Head of Passes, La., 1,552 miles, by the construction, extension, and repair of levees, and in certain localities along the Mississippi River and alluvial valley, con- struction of spillway, floodways, outlets, and reservoirs; and construction, ex- tension, and repair of levees upon the tributaries and outlets of the Mississippi River insofar as they may be affected by the backwater of the Mississippi River; all in cooperation with the several States and levee boards. The essential features of the plan are as follows: Improvement and regularization of the Mississippi River. A floodway opposite Cairo, Ill., from Birds Point to New Madrid, Mo. Flood control of the St. Francis River, Mo. and Ark. An emergency reservoir (backwater levee) at mouth of White River, Ark. Protection levees in the basins on the west side of the Mississippi River below MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2039 the Arkansas River to protect the better lands in these basins and prevent the excess floodwaters of extraordinary floods leaving the main river near the heads of the Tensas and Atchafalaya Basins from spreading over the entire area of these basins. Flood control of the Yazoo River, Miss. A controlled spillway to hold flood levels down to safe stages at and near New Orleans (Bonnet Carre spillway and floodway). An outlet to the Gulf of Mexico west of Berwick, La. Improvements of flow conditions on the Atchafalaya River and its outlets. 2. Continuation of improvement below the mouth of the Ohio River so as to "give safety and ease to navigation" on the Mississippi River at all stages by facilitating the interchange of traffic, "commerce, trade, and the Postal Service, with a view to securing a permanent channel depth of 9. feet" by means of- (a) Revetment of caving banks and contraction work to "correct, perma- nently locate, and deepen the channel, and protect the banks of the Mississippi River," and for the preservation of harbors and the security of levees. (b) Dredging, Cairo, Ill., to Baton Rouge, La., for the purpose of maintaining at all stages a navigable channel 300 feet in width and 9 feet in depth, including construction, operation, and maintenance of suitable dredge boats and auxiliary devices and appliances therefor. Dredging is also carried on for the creation and maintenance of harbors and connecting channels. 3. The maintenance of a navigable channel between the waters of the Missis- sippi, Red, and Atchafalaya Rivers. 4. Physical investigations: Maintenance of gages; discharge measurements of the Mississippi River and its tributaries; preparation and publication of maps and physical data ; surveys and investigations covering all phases of river regimen governing the work of channel improvement and flood control "from the headwaters of the Mississippi River to Head of Passes." 5.

OPERATIONS AND RESULTS DURING FISCAL YEAR AND CONDITION AT END OF FISCAL YEAR Surveys,gages, and observations. (See p. 1961, Annual Report for 1932).-Topographic and hydrographic surveys of the Mississippi River have been made and charts published prior to fiscal year 1938. Surveys and reports required under sections 3, 6,and 7 of the May 15, 1928, act are made as required. Surveys required under section 11 of the Flood Control Act were completed in 1931 and reports sub- mitted. During fiscal year 1938 surveys were continued in connec- tion with construction work in carrying out the provisions of the flood-control project. Floodway, levee, revetment, dike, and construction surveys were made as required; surveys were made over important works and along caving banks. Completion surveys were made over all levees completed during the year. In the Memphis district general hydro- graphic surveys of the Mississippi River, which also included sur- veys over all existing revetments and dikes, were made from Cairo, Ill. (0.0), to the mouth of White River (391) ; aerial pictures cover- ing approximately 80 percent of this area have been received from the contractor; final levee location surveys were completed on the White River backwater reservoir project from Oldtown (325) to Laconia Circle, Ark. (374), and on White River from Sherrill to Gillett, Ark.; final levee location surveys on the St. Francis and Little Rivers are approximately 60 percent complete; a preliminary survey was made for the proposed levee and wall project at Dyers- burg, Tenn.; a preliminary survey was made for the Memphis flood- control project and final location surveys are approximately 40 per- cent complete; a levee record survey of the Birds Point-New Madrid floodway front-line levee was made; a special topographic survey was made of Slough Neck and Watson Point; profile levels were run over all levees in the Memphis district. In the Vicksburg district the permanent ranges for channel realinement and cut-off studies were sounded at low water, midbank, and near bankful stages; a hydro- graphic survey was made on the Mississippi River from mouth of White River to Racetrack Towhead (606) and miscellaneous surveys were made in the Eudora floodway area; appraisals by the Depart- ment of Agriculture and Forestry Service were completed in the Eudora floodway area in Arkansas and Louisiana; taking of otions in the floodway area in Arkansas and Louisiana was started in May 1937 and suspended in May 1938; high-water profiles and flood-dam- age reconnaissance was made in Red and Ouachita Valleys during 1938 floods with exception of Ouachita Valley below Monroe. In the second New Orleans district, comparison of cross-section ele- ments of the Mississippi River were made as follows: Cross-section elements of the 1937-38 hydrographic survey, Racetrack Towhead (606) to vicinity of Carr Point (770), with those of survey of 1932-33; those of the survey made in 1935, 1936, and 1937-38, vicinity 8 Figures in parentheses denote distance in miles below Cairo, III., gage. 2044 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 of Carr Point (770) to Head of Passes (1070), with those of the survey of 1921-22 and 1924-25. Comparison of cross-section elements of the 1937 hydrographic survey of the Atchafalaya River, from Barbre Landing, mile 0, 'to Alabama Bayou, mile 57, was made with those of the 1932 survey. Cross-section elements of the 1937 hydro- graphic survey of the Atchafalaya Basin main channel, Alabama Bayou, mile 57, to Grand Lake, mile 97, were computed. The hydro- graphic survey of the Mississippi River below Carr Point (771) was completed with the survey from Plaquemine, La. (863), to Donald- sonville, La. (895) ; a low-water hydrographic survey was made of the Mississippi River from Racetrack Towhead (606) to Baton Rouge (842); a hydrographic survey was made of Old River from the Mis- sissippi River to the Red River; a hydrographic survey was made of the Atchafalaya River and Atchafalaya Basin main channel from Barbre Landing, mile 0, to Grand Lake, mile 97; hydrographic sur- veys were made of approximately 70 miles of auxiliary channels of the Atchafalaya River system below Alabama Bayou; hydrographic surveys were made of approximately 25 miles of channels in the Atchafalaya Basin for the purpose of improving navigation. Sur- veys were made for the outlet west of Berwick, La., and for Morganza floodway. Precise levels were run from Simmesport, La., to Phil- lipston, La., and from Angola, La., to Fort Adams, Miss. (762). A line of precise levels being run between Raceland, La., and Morgan City, La., was approximately 40 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. Precise levels were run by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, operating with funds supplied by this department, from Biloxi, Miss., to New Orleans, La.; from New Orleans, La., to Baton Rouge, La.; and from New Orleans, La., to Port Sulphur, La. Soil borings were made at the sites of new levees and of dredging operations, at the sites of proposed bridges over Wax Lake outlet, along the proposed channel in Morganza floodway, at the proposed locations of bridges across the Morganza floodway for the Missouri Pacific and Texas & Pacific Railroads, at the Missouri Pacific Railroad bridge across the Atchafalaya River at Krotz Springs, La., at the sites of the Catahoula Lake bridge and the Verdunville Canal flood- gate, at Bonnet Carre spillway in connection with dike constructidn and the excavation of a distributing channel. Salinity surveys were made in the vicinity of the outlet west of Berwick. Aerial photo- graphs covering approximately 1,641 square miles of territory were obtained in connection with the low-water hydrographic survey of the Mississippi River from Racetrack Towhead to Baton Rouge, and the preparation of two additional quadrangles between Baton Rouge and Bonnet Carre spillway; aerial photographs covering approxi- mately 2,243 square miles of territory were obtained in connection with revision and redrafting of 16 quadrangles. Appraisals were made by representatives of the United States Department of Agri- culture and the United States Forest Service in the proposed Mor- ganza floodway, and necessary revisions of previous appraisals in other locations were made. Numerous special surveys and observations on discharge, velocity, and direction of flow were made in connection with the development of cut-offs at Caulk (406-422); Ashbrook (444-456); Tarplev (461- 472); Leland (472-484); Worthington (506-513); Sarah (518-526); a Figures in parentheses denote distance in miles below Cairo, Ill., gage.

A system of special gages was read in connection with the surveys and observations. Aerial surveys were made of the cut-offs on the Mississippi River and in the Atchafalaya Basin. Special surveys for cut-off studies were made at Jackson and Sunflower Point on the Mississippi River; oblique aerial photographs of these locations and of the Walnut location were made, all in Memphis district. Gages have been established and maintained at various places on the Mississippi River and tributaries and outlets, and on Lake Pont- chartrain, and the Gulf of Mexico; and readings published from earliest records to 1935 and January 1 to June 30, 1937. During the year the regular gages on Mississippi River and tributaries and out- lets, and on Lake Pontchartrain, gages in backwater areas, Biloxi tide gage in Gulf of Mexico, special cut-off gages, and high- and low- water gages on Mississippi River were maintained. In the Memphis district special gages were maintained from Helena, Ark. (307), to Mouth of White River, Ark. (438), to obtain the effect on slopes by the cut-off at Caulk (406-422). Additional gages were established and maintained from Hickman, Ky., to Cottonwood Point, Mo., for determining slopes for cut-off investigations. In the Memphis dis- trict readings were obtained on backwater gages reached by the April 1938 high water, and crest readings were made on the high-water- gages. Low-water slopes were determined throughout the Memphis district from low-water and slope gage readings taken on October 8, 1937, at a stage which was approximately at mean low water; high- water slopes were determined along the channel at critical points during April 1938. The regular gages were read during the year in all districts; special gages established in connection with cut-off ob- servations and investigations and channel-realinement studies were read. Gages established in the old river lakes and Tensas Basin by the second New Orleans district were maintained and read. In the St. Louis district a controlled aerial photo-mosaic map, scale 1: 12,000, of the Mississippi River flood plain between the mouths of Ohio and Missouri Rivers was completed. Surveys and reports under section 6 of the act of May 15, 1928, are made as required. During the fiscal year 1938 surveys were continued in connection with con- struction work in carrying out the provisions of the flood-control projects. Discharge and other observations on Mississippi River and tribu- taries at various stations are made each year and the results have been published for 1838 to 1935 and January 1 to Junie 30, 1937. Physical data are compiled and card-indexed. Discharge, slope, and sediment observations were taken at selected stations on the Missis- sippi River and tributaries from September 1928 to June 1929 and the results published. A series of measurements of current velocity at each tenth of sounded depth from surface to the bottom were also made at each station. During the fiscal year 1938 discharge observa- a Figures in parentheses denote distance in miles below Cairo, Ill., gage. 2046 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Alluvial valley mapping.-Contoured maps, alluvial valley, lower Mississippi River, scale 1: 250,000, of the St. Francis, Yazoo-Tensas, and Atchafalaya-Pontchartrain Basins were published in 1929, and upon completion of revision in 1934 new maps were published; a con- toured map, scale 1: 500,000, of the alluvial valley, lower Mississippi River, from Cape Girardeau, Mo., to Gulf of Mexico, was published in 1931, and upon completion of revision was published as edition 1935. Data relative to existing maps were collected and surveys made during 1929 to 1937 for use in the publication of a contoured map of the alluvial valley, lower Mississippi River, on a scale of 1: 62,500. Of the 1851/2 quadrangles originally authorized for this map under the alluvial-valley mapping project, and 17 quadrangles later author- ized, 17234 quadrangles were assigned the War Department (Missis- sippi River Commission). These quadrangles have been completed and forwarded to the printer for reproduction, all of which have been printed as advance sheets, scale 1: 62,500, thus completing the quad- rangle mapping required under the May 15, 1928, act, assigned to the War Department; the area covered by the 1723 quadrangles assigned to the War Department is available on 177 sheets; the process of edit- ing and correcting the printed advance sheets was continued during the fiscal year 1938; and 141 whole or portions of quadrangles are now available as published editions (on 145 sheets). Of the 2021!/2 quadrangles within the alluvial valley may, 293/4 quadrangles were assigned for mapping to the Geological Survey for the War Depart- ment, which have been completed for reproduction, and are available as advance printed sheets, scale 1: 48,000; 283/4 of the quadrangles are available as published sheets, scale 1:62,500 (on 30 sheets). MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2047 Work on the preparation of four additional quadrangles in the second New Orleans district of areas adjacent to quadrangles already completed along Lake Pontchartrain, to a scale of 1: 48,000, was com- pleted in fiscal year 1937 and maps forwarded to the printer for re- production; during fiscal year 1938, three of these quadrangles were made available as published sheets, scale 1: 62,500; work on publica- tion of the other sheet was underway; work on the preparation of two additional quadrangles of areas adjacent to the above four was also underway.

General stage of the Mississippi River during the 10 months ending June 30, 1938.-After reaching a record high in February 1937, in the reach of the river, in the Memphis district, from Cairo (0.0) to Sun- flower Landing (354)," and a record high at Natchez (706), the Mississippi River fell to low stages that prevailed in the Mississippi River during the first half of the fiscal year 1938, followed by moderate stages and then a rise to a bankfull stage during March and April, with moderate to high stages prevailing during the remainder of the fiscal year. The stages exceeded bankfull on gages as follows: Cairo (0.0), April 2 to 5 and April 13 to 18, 1938; Helena (307), April 7 to 29, 1938; St. Joseph (663), April 21 to 30, 1938 (bankfull stages were not reached in 1938 at Memphis (227), nor in the reach of the river from Arkansas City (438) to Vicksburg (602)) ; Natchez (706), April 19 to May 3, 1938; Angola (771), April 8 to May 9, 1938; Bayou Sara (807), March 1 to 13 and March 23 to May 12, 1938; Baton Rouge (842), March 1 to 14 and March 23 to May 12, 1938; Donaldsonville (895), March 6, 7, and 30 and April 2 to May 12, 1938; Carrollton (967) (New Orleans), February 25 to May 16 and June 4 to 25, 1938. In the Memphis district the 1938 crest stage was 1 foot above bank- full at Cairo, 0.3 foot below bankfull at Memphis, and 2.5 feet above bankfull at Helena. In the Vicksburg district the 1938 crest stage was 6.6 feet below bankfull at Arkansas City, 2.5 feet below bankfull at Greenville (480), 2.4 feet below bankfull at Lake Providence (542), and 0.3 foot below bankfull at Vicksburg (canal gage).

The highest stage on the Carrollton gage (967) during the 12-month period was 16.71 feet on April 30, 1938; and the lowest, 0.0 foot, on Decenmber 20, 1937. Dredges and dredging.-When it became apparent that channel improvement by contraction works could not meet the pressing needs of commerce within a reasonable time limit, experiments were com- menced looking to channel maintenance during low water by means of hydraulic dredges of large capacity. The development of an efficient dredge to operate in an open channel exposed to shifting winds and the river currents that would quickly open a cut through the crest of a sand bar from one pool to the next, required a great deal of experimental work, covering not only the hydraulic and me- chanical details but also the practical manipulation of the dredge under the conditions imposed. A long series of experiments was made to determine the best form of suction head; the ecomonic size of suction and discharge pipes; the velocity of flow in these pipes; the percentage of material that could be pumped and delivered; the best type of pump, number and shape of blades, speed of pump impellers; anchor piles and hauling cables; pontoons for supporting the discharge pipes, etc. The proper manipulation required an inti- mate knowledge of sand-bar formation and the trend of the current between successive pools, which could only be gained by hydraulic experiments and by long-time contact with the problem. A new a Figures in parentheses denote distance in miles below Cairo, Ill., gage. MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2049 problem in channel adjustment was introduced during the fiscal year 1932 by the construction of permeable pile dikes as explained in more detail under Bank Protection and Regulation, page 2060. As each new dredge was built an effort was made to eliminate the defects of its predecessors. The two newest dredges, Jadwin and Burgess, completed in February and March 1934, dig a cut 10 feet deep and 32 feet wide through a sand bar at the rate of 600 feet per hour. These two dredges can operate at a depth of 40 feet and have sufficient boiler power to operate propelling and pumping machinery at the same time. Although the dredges Jadwin and Burgess are of the most satisfactory types of hydraulic dredges for Mississippi River channel maintenance yet developed, studies, experiments, and im- provements are still under way. Several of the larger channel- maintenance dredges have been converted temporarily, and for experimental purposes, by the replacement of the conventional "dust- pan" type of suction head with a long single suction pipe of the bell head type. Under these changes dredging can be carried on to depths up to 80 feet, which makes possible certain dredging operations dur- ing normal high-water stages of the river. Five channel dredges, five pump barges, and nine cutterhead dredges (including five privately owned), together with a self-pro- pelled pipe-line dredge and a self-propelled agitator type dredge, are available for use during the low-water season covering about 6 months each year. In addition, other cutterhead dredges (privately owned) are available for channel dredging in case of emergency. A total of over 172,412,391 cubic yards has been dredged in channel maintenance on the Mississippi River during the past 10 years. The present law requires the maintenance of a channel not less than 9 feet in depth and 300 feet in width at all stages of the river except when closed by ice. A channel of project dimensions was maintained during fiscal year 1938 except for a few days at four places.

Dredging in connection with contraction works (sand dikes), Mis- sissippi River: The construction of sand dikes to assist in creating and maintaining a satisfactory channel for both navigation and flood flow was made at six locations in the district. The work consisted in con- fining the major flow of the river to a channel of normal width, at either high or low stages, by closing minor side channels or by con- fining the flow at certain stages to a width at which the river will maintain normal depth. The dredges engaged in this work consisted of two plain-suction dredges and two cutter-head dredges. A total of 8,348,278 cubic yards of material was placed, at a cost of $468,- 683.66. Operations were as follows: Diamond cut-off (614-626) : One cutterhead dredge placed 1,129,525 cubic yards in the dike across Kellogg Lake, thereby bringing the last 1,215 feet of the previously existing dike up to bankfull elevation, at a cost of $52,661.07. Newtown Bend (626-630) : One cutterhead dredge placed 1,080,675 cubic yards, at a cost of $47,571.32, while constructing 2,600 linear feet of longitudinal sand dike to medium stage elevation on the left or east bank of the river between (626.9-627.4). Togo (630-634): One cutterhead dredge and one plain-suction dredge were engaged in construction of sand dikes at four locations, placing a total of 2,402,753 cubic yards, at a cost of $121,722.81. One low-water mound, 100 feet in diameter, was built in addition to the total of 6,305 linear feet of dike that was constructed. Between mile 630 and 631 on the right or west bank of the river a high-water longi- tudinal dike was constructed; 1,349,940 cubic yards were placed and the dike was 4,275 linear feet in length. At mile 630.9 a low-water spur dike was constructed on the left or east side of the river; 356,231 cubic yards were placed, and the dike was 830 linear feet in length. At mile 631.2 a low-water spur dike was constructed on the left or east side of the river; 493,962 cubic yards were placed. The dike was 1,200 linear feet in length. The spur dikes at miles 630.9 and 631.2 were constructed to prevent the further development of a large bar that was tending to form in the river and divide the flow. At mile 632.5 a low-water mound was constructed. This mound was built for the purpose of filling an old slough that was scouring out, and con- tained 202,620 cubic yards. Hardscrabble (653-656). One cutterhead dredge was used to con- struct two high-water spur dikes on the left bank. The total length of these dikes was approximately 3,630 feet, and a total of 1,479,777 cubic yards of material was placed in construction, costing $83,083.28. At mile 654.5, 1,234,134 cubic yards of material were placed and 3,000 linear feet of dike were constructed. At, mile 655.0, 245,643 cubic yards of material were placed and 630 linear feet of dike were con- structed. Waterproof (676-680): One plain-suction dredge was used to con- struct a low-water sand dike at the upper end of Waterproof crossing * Figures in parentheses denote distance in miles below Cairo, Ill., gage. MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2055 bar, 2,520 linear feet of dike were constructed, and 404,400 cubic yards of material were placed, at a cost of $15,978.99. Esperance (718-721)" (St. Catherine) : One cutterhead dredge was used to construct a high-water sand dike across St. Catherine chute. Further development of this chute would have created an island. The dike was 3,200 linear feet in length and 1,851,148 cubic yards were placed, at a cost of $147,666.19. Dredging in connection with cut-offs, Mississippi River: Dredging for the purpose of enlarging the existing cut-offs or for the purpose of obtaining better alinement of the cut-offs with the old river channel and thereby accelerate their development was done at five different locations in this district. The plant used consisted of one agitator, three cutterhead dredges, and two plain-suction dredges. A total of 14,501,891 cubic yards of material was moved during fiscal year 1938, at a cost of $1,403,976.40. Operations were as follows: Diamond cut-off (614-626): Was opened January 8, 1933; one cutterhead dredge was used during the fiscal year 1938 to correct aline- ment and remove shoals at the head of the cut; 1,603,362 cubic yards of material were removed, at a cost of $165,481.58. On April 11, 1938, at bankfull stage, the discharge through the cut-off was 776,000 cubic feet per second, or 75 percent of the total river discharge. Lighted for navigation, September 1935. Yucatan cut-off (638-648) : The cut-off occurred in the fall of 1929. One cutterhead dredge worked in the cut-off during the fiscal year 1938 removing a stratum of material on the left side at the head of the cut that was holding back its further development; 239,600 cubic yards of material were removed at a cost of $17,226.33. On April 15, 1938, the discharge through the cut-off was 1,116,000 cubic feet per second, or approximately 100 percent of the total river discharge. Lighted for navigation, July 1932. Rodney cut-off (664-672): Was opened February 29, 1936. Two cutterhead dredges, two plain-suction dredges, and one agitator dredge were used during the fiscal year 1938 to correct alinement and remove a shoal at the head of the cut-off, and also to further enlarge the cut-off; 2,580,534 cubic yards of material were removed, at a cost of $275,597.84. On April 14, 1938, at bankfull stage of the river, the discharge through the cut-off was 515,000 cubic feet per second, or 43 percent of the total river discharge. Lighted for navigation Septem- ber 1936. Giles cut-off (690-704): Was opened May 25, 1933. One cutter- head dredge and one plain-suction dredge were used during the fiscal year 1938 to correct alinement at the head of the cut and to further enlarge the cut-off; 4,689,852 cubic yards of material were removed at a cost of $464,669.46. On April 11, 1938, when the river was at bankfull stage, the discharge through the cut-off was 685,000 cubic feet per second, or 59 percent of the total river discharge. Lighted for navigation January 1935. (Previous reports incorrectly stated that the cut-off was opened to traffic-in 1934.) Glasscock cut-off (722-737): Was opened to high-water flow March 26, 1933. In each successive year the cut-off has been further enlarged by dredging. In the fiscal year 1938 one cutterhead dredge 8 Figures in parentheses denote distance in miles below Cairo, Ill., gage. 2056 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 was used to improve the alinement at the head of the cut, and to further enlarge the cut-off, especially in the constricted reaches; 5,388,543 cubic yards of material were removed at a cost of $481,- 001.19. On April 15, 1938, when the river was at bankfull stage, the discharge through the cut-off was 377,000 cubic feet per second, or 32 percent of the total river discharge. Lighted for navigation Septem- ber 1937. The total quantities removed for corrective dredging, including cut- off dredging, was 30,498,828 cubic yards, at a cost of $2,527,388.39 and a unit cost of 8.29 cents per cubic yard, and for contraction works (sand dikes), 8,348,278 cubic yards at a cost of $468,683.66 and a unit cost of 5.61 cents per cubic yard. Dredging, Atchafalaya Basin: Dredging operations were carried on in the Atchafalaya Basin for the purpose of developing a continuous channel from Atchafalaya River (at Alabama Bayou) to Grand Lake and then through Six Mile Lake and Wax Lake outlet into Wax Lake and the Gulf of Mexico. The enlargement of constricted reaches on the Atchafalaya River between the mouth of the Red River and Mel- ville, La., was undertaken. Ten dredges, including one Government- owned dredge, two leased dredges, six contract dredges, and one Government-owned dragline machine (afloat), removed a total of 19,939,812 cubic yards of material at a cost of $1,671,175.59, as follows: Mouth of Red River to Melville, Atchafalaya River channel im- provement (0-33) 4 : Two leased dredges worked at four locations en- larging the channel at constricted locations, and generally improving the alinement of the river, removing 4,623,752 cubic yards of material, at a cost of $340,893.84, as follows: Three Rivers (0-1.9),4 improving the alinement of the mouth of Red River at the Atchafalaya River, 50 percent complete June 30, 1938, 494,532 cubic yards of material re- moved; Coville (1.9-4.3), 4 improving the alinement of the Atchafa- laya River, 2,010,876 cubic yards of material removed ; Baberton (21.8- 25.0) ,4 removing channel constrictions at two points, 2,118,344 cubic yards of material removed. Whiskey Bay pilot channel (57)4: The channel was opened April 13, 1936, and is 3.3 miles in length. One leased cutterhead dredge greatly improved the alinement of the entrance to the head of the channel at Alabama Bayou, removing 775,582 cubic yards of material at a cost of $66,490.67. Blind Tensas cut (70.7)4: The cut was completed March 30, 1935, and is 1.5 miles long. One contract cutterhead dredge was used to complete the enlargement that was started the previous fiscal year; removing 661,515 cubic yards of material, at a cost of $61,986.04. Bayou Chene-Tarleton cut (78.2-80.3) :4 One leased cutterhead dredge completed the enlargement of this channel that was already 60 percent complete at the beginning of the 1938 fiscal year; 957,586 cubic yards of material were removed, at a cost of $41,343.57. Jake's Bayou (80) : One Government-owned dredge was used to remove a shoal for navigation purposes; dredging 63,804 cubic yards of material, at a cost of $11,150.68. Grand Lake channel (93.8-96.9) : 4 An extension of Chicot Pass into Grand Lake 2.3 miles. The project was begun February 1, 1937, and SDistance in miles below head of Atchafalaya River, through main channel, Atchafalaya Basin. MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2057 completed during the 1938 fiscal year. One Government-owned dredge removed 192,492 cubic yards of material, at a cost of $43,646.76. Chicot Pass channel outlet (90.5):4 A small outlet channel from Chicot Pass channel westward (about three-quarters of a mile) toward Grand Lake was enlarged; 95,443 cubic yards of material were re- moved, at a cost of $15,113.86. Improving Little Bayou Pigeon: U. S. levee machine B-10 was engaged in improving the channel and excavated a total of 63,000, cubic yards, at a cost of $11,152.94. Wax Lake outlet (114) : 4 The outlet is 11.6 miles in length and is estimated to require removal of 22,000,000 cubic yards of material. It was begun November 8, 1937, and at the end of the 1938 fiscal year the outlet was 58 percent complete. This cut is an additional outlet for the Atchafalaya River, which discharges through Atchafalaya Bay into the Gulf of Mexico. Six contract pipe-line cutterhead dredges worked on this cut during the fiscal year 1938, removing 12,506,638: cubic yards of material, at a cost of $1,079,397.23. This represents a unit cost of 8.38 cents per cubic yard. The total yardage moved during the fiscal year 1938 in construction and improvement of the main channel in the Atchafalaya Basin totaled 19,939,812 cubic yards, at a cost of $1,671,175.59. Old River, La.: No dredging was required in the vicinity of the mouth of Old River, La. (772 miles below Cairo), during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1938. Experimental dredging to determine the feasibility of training channels by early dredging, prior to the low-water stage, and thus prevent the difficulties encountered at that time was undertaken by the Memphis district during the fiscal year 1931 and has proved successful thus far. In the Vicksburg district there has been less trouble with low-water navigation during the past 7 fiscal years than in previous years, notwithstanding the low stages that prevailed during the low- water seasons; in 1930 a system of frequent surveys of river crossings and markings of channel line at the crossing by buoys was inaugu- rated; this system is probably responsible in large measure for less navigation trouble than in years of higher low-water stages; another favorable feature was the absence of sudden minor rises or freshets during the low-water season; such rises cause fills in the channel cross- ings, these being scoured out as the freshet subsides or a new channel formed; in either case there is an interval of difficult navigation. The costs and net expenditures for dredging during the 12-month period ended June 30, 1938, were as follows: National Recovery Emergency Relief Regular funds Administration Administration funds funds District - Cs Net dNet Net Costs Neteuxpendi- Costs expendi- Costs expendi- tures tures Memphis ------------------.. $2, 324, 529. 79 $2, 358, 066. 74 Vicksburg--- ------- _--_ 1, 892, 756. 93 2, 352, 130. 16 $50. 26 $50. 26 - Second New Orleans......---------- 4, 133, 083. 76 3, 670, 256. 37 ...- --.----- _-- $51, 736. 17 $40, 166. 30 Total..----------------- 8, 350, 370. 48 8, 380, 453. 27 50. 26 50. 26 51, 736. 17 40, 166. 30 4 Distance in miles below head of Atchafalaya River, through main channel, Atchafalaya Basin. 2058 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

CUT-OFFS Evidence exists of numerous cut-offs antedating the exploration of the Mississippi River below Cairo. Twenty cut-offs are known to have occurred between 1700 and 1929, of which 19 occurred between 1765 and 1929. It is probable that several unrecorded cut-offs oc- curred during the period 1700-1765. However, the existence of com- plete maps of the lower river makes it possible to determine accu- rately the number of cut-offs which have occurred since 1765. The majority of these cut-offs are also mentioned in contemporary records. The following tabulation lists the 32 cut-offs of record; with the exception of the cut-offs at Leland and Yucatan, the cut-offs listed as occurring beginning with 1929 were made by dredging and ex- cavation work for improvement of the channel of the Mississippi River.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2059 Effectiveness of cut-ofs and channel-improvement work.-Cut-offs and general channel improvements inaugurated since 1929 have greatly increased the carrying capacity of the Mississippi River throughout its entire central portion. The large improvement in flood-carrying capacity of the leveed channel may be visualized by comparing the 1929 high-water discharge observations made before improvement work was started with the 1937 high-water discharge measurements made at a time when the project was about half com- pleted. Comparison of the 1929 and 1937 high-water discharges at Arkansas City (438)3 for rising stages above 45 feet show an in- crease in flood-carrying capacity of 600,000 to 700,000 cubic feet per second for the same stage, corresponding to a decrease in stage of 11 to 12 feet for the same discharge. At Vicksburg (602) during rising flood stages an increase was observed in the flood-carrying capacity since 1929 of 300,000 to 400,000 cubic feet per second for the same stage, corresponding to a lowering in stage of from 5 to 7 feet for the same discharge. A list of the cut-offs made since 1929 is shown in the preceding tabulation. The 13 cut-offs and channel- improvement work have eliminated many river crossings and have shortened the 368.4 miles of low-water river distance as of 1933, meas- ured between the head of Caulk Neck cut-off and the foot of Glasscock cut-off, to 231.8 miles, a net shortening of 136.6 miles. This includes the shortening effected by Yucatan cut-off, which occurred in 1929. CONDITION OF CHANNEL Except when blocked by ice and during other rare and brief pe- riods, there is generally in the Mississippi River below Cairo a good continuous navigable channel with a depth of 9 feet or more and a width of at least 300 feet for a distance of 726 10 miles and with a depth of not less than 35 feet and a width of several hundred feet at all times for the remaining 240 miles to the Gulf of Mexico. This navigable channel is also of ample width and of at least 14 feet depth during 5 to 8 months of each year when high stages prevail on the river. The following are depths and widths for the different stretches of the river below Cairo that can usually be relied upon except during the unusual lowest stages: Cairo to Memphis, Tenn., 227 miles, least depth 9 feet for width of 300 feet. Low-water channel maintained by dredging. Memphis to mouth of Arkansas River, Ark., 172 miles, least depth 9 feet for width of 300 feet. Low-water channel maintained by limited amount of dredging. Mouth of Arkansas River to Vicksburg, Miss., 136 miles, least depth 9 feet for width of 300 feet. Low-water channel maintained by limited amount of dredging. The above mileage is based on navi- gation of cut-offs at Caulk, Ashbrook, Tarpley, Leland, Worthington, Sarah, Willow, and Marshall (June 1938). Vicksburg, Miss., to Angola, La., 120 miles, least depth 11 feet for width of 300 feet or more. Low-water channel maintained by a limited amount of dredging.

On June 30, 1938, the governing depth to the Gulf of Mexico through South Pass was 31 feet with a minimum width of 650 feet, and the governing depth through Southwest Pass was 35 feet with a minimum width of 500 feet. Depths refer to mean low water. As reported by the district engineer first district, New Orleans, La. NAVIGATION DATA To facilitate navigation of the Mississippi River from Cairo, Ill. (at the mouth of Ohio River), to the Gulf of Mexico, La., the Missis- :sippi River Commission has prepared a set of maps in 60 sheets covering the above reach of river showing location of navigation lights, channel line, and other features pertaining to navigation; the maps are available for sale to the public by the commission at 75 cents for the set of 60 sheets. The commission has also prepared a mimeographed folder containing general information relative to navigation of the Mississippi River, which, is available for issue to the public. Weekly channel reports are issued during the low-water season by the Memphis, Vicksburg, and second New Orleans districts giving the markings of the low-water channel and the depths at crossings. The United States Lighthouse Service also issues channel reports for the Mississippi River. BANK PROTECTION AND REGULATION Since the adoption of dredging in 1896 the permanent work of channel improvement has been confined chiefly to the revetment of banks. The extent of caving bank requiring revetment was, how- ever, relatively so great when compared to the funds available that it has been necessary to confine the work to cases of urgent necessity, such as threatened cut-offs, endangered levees of such large size as could only be replaced at excessive cost, and the harbor fronts of cities. The construction of works for bank protection on such an extensive scale and in locations so difficult as those found on the lower Missis- sippi was at the beginning a problem beyond the experience of engi- neers. The first experiments included woven-willow mattresses of different thicknesses, varying from 2 to 12 inches, and of different n The River and Harbor Act of June 20, 1938, modified the present project (adopted by act of January 21, 1927) for improvement of the Mississippi River between Baton Rouge and New Orleans to provide, within the limits of the port of New Orleans where that au- thority has jurisdiction of both banks of the river, a channel depth of 35 feet and maximum width of 1,500 feet, measured from a line generally 100 feet from the face of the left-bank wharves, but not closer than 100 feet to wharves on the right bank, and from the port of New Orleans to a line one-half mile below the Louisiana Highway Commission bridge at Baton Rouge a channel depth of 35 feet and width of 500 feet (H. Doc. 597, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). This work is under the jurisdiction of the first New Orleans engineer district. MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2061 degrees of compactness, elasticity, and roughness of surface. The method of operation comprised three parts: First, the subaqueous revetment; second, the grading of the bank above the water surface; third, the upper-bank protection. The unsatisfactory woven-willow mats, with upper-bank protection of brush and stone were followed by stronger and more durable fascine mats about 16 inches thick, bound so tightly with wire cables as to be nearly impervious to the wash of the current through them, the upper bank being paved with hand-laid rock or concrete in blocks or in situ. On account of the increasing amount of bank revetment for pro- tection against caving and decreasing supply of economically avail- able willows for the construction of mats, it became necessary to develop some form of mattress that would not require the use of willows. Memphis district.-Experiments with concrete as a substitute for the subaqueous willow mats were made from 1914 to 1918. Begin- ning in 1914, experiments were made in the first and second districts (Memphis engineer district) with large sheets of concrete, 125 by 50 feet by 4 inches in thickness, reinforced with wire mesh and 3/8-inch cables. Later experiments were made in the same districts with con- crete mats consisting of slabs 240 feet long by 12 feet wide by 33/4 inches thick, reinforced both transversely and longitudinally with 1/2- by 2-inch steel bars and wire-mesh fastenings. During the year ending May 31, 1924, 1,100 linear feet of bank were protected by subaqueous mats of this type. Owing to the exces- sive cost and difficulty of placing this type of mat, its further use was abandoned. A type of revetment known as the "lapped-slab concrete revetment" was developed during 1925 to 1927. Mats were formed of reinforced concrete slabs 4 inches thick, 6 feet wide, and 11 feet long, overlap- ping and interconnected. The results of the experimental work during the year ending May 31, 1927, were so encouraging that the district was authorized to ,construct a power-operated casting plant and sinking plant with necessary auxiliary plant embodying the improvements suggested by the experimental work. This mat was used as the standard concrete mattress during the years 1928 to 1931. In March 1931 the design of the mattress was altered, eliminating the lap between individual slabs, the slabs being changed to 10 feet by 6 feet by 4 inches. In October 1931 the thickness of the slabs was reduced from 4 to 3 inches for further economy. The Vicksburg district's articulated concrete mattress unit was transferred to this district in June and July 1931 and worked the full season, and approximately 1 month in the 1932 season, when it was retransferred to Vicksburg district. Subaqueous investigation in the Memphis district during the low- water season of 1931 disclosed faults from various causes in existing bank-protection works. Based on the early findings of the subaque- ous investigation, there was initiated in the Memphis engineer dis- trict in September 1931 an intensive study of all metals which might be used for reinforcing and fastenings, as well as to determine which of these metals might be practicable for use, both from the stand- point of prolonged life through corrosion-resistant properties and a reasonable increase in cost. This step was taken since the subaqueous 2062 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 investigation showed that a large percentage of the failures noted in the bank-protection work was caused by failure from corrosion of the metal fastenings previously used. The result of these experiments and investigations indicated the desirability of abandoning the slab type of concrete mattress and the improvement of articulated type mattress by increasing the width of the individual blocks and by using noncorrosive reinforcing and fastenings of some material hav- ing corrosion-resisting properties equal to commercially pure copper. Preparations were initiated in 1932 for an accelerated corrosion test, using concentrated waters of the Mississippi River in order to de- termine what noncorrosive materials are suitable for use as rein- forcing and fastenings. This test was carried on through July 1933, when stopped for lack of funds, and due to failure of test to develop. results. Corrosion-resistant wire and strand are used in the construc- tion of fascine willow mattress; this type of mattress, however, does not offer possibilities of much reduction of cost nor increase in length of life, which appear probable with the improved type of articulated concrete mattress. This district retained one of the two sinking plants transferred from Vicksburg, and with minor alterations to the slab-casting plant and construction of a mooring barge is equipped to lay standard articulated concrete mattress. The articulated concrete mattress was standardized in 1932, and noncorrosive fabric wire and fastenings are being used in all work since then.. Work was continued on the types of noncorrosive materials for construction by initiating a test, using a paddle wheel constructed on one end of a barge and placed in the Mississippi River, with all different types of noncorrosive metals attached to the paddle wheel, which is free to rotate, to deter- mine what noncorrosive materials are suitable for use as reinforcing and fastenings; also, work was continued on the design of the articu- lated mattress to determine a more effective and more economical type for this district. During the fiscal year 1934 experiments in connection with tetra- hedral block type of bank protection were conducted in the Memphis district; a description of the tetrahedrons is given under Vicksburg district. During the 13 months ending June 30, 1929, 35,332 linear feet of new revetment was placed of which 12,961 linear feet was lapped- slab concrete revetment; during the 12 months ending June 30, 1930, 40,801 linear feet of new revetment was placed; of this amount 20,398 linear feet was lapped-slab concrete revetment; during the 12 months ending June 30, 1931, 44,380 linear feet of new revetment was placed, of this amount 31,849 linear feet was lapped-slab concrete revetment; during the 12 months ending June 30, 1932, 84,490 linear feet of new revetment was placed, of this amount 56,259 linear feet was concrete mats, 18,401 linear feet willow and concrete mats; during the 12 months ending June 30, 1933, 26,619 linear feet of new revetment was placed, of this amount 22,068 linear feet was concrete mats and 4,551 linear feet was willow fascine mats; during the 12 months ending June 30, 1934, 16,520 linear feet of new revetment was placed, of this amount 15,625 linear feet was concrete mats, 680 feet was lumber mattress, and 215 linear feet was tetrahedral concrete-block type; during the 12 months ending June 30, 1935, 6,097 linear feet of new revetment was placed, of this amount 5,897 linear feet was MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2063 concrete mats, and 200 linear feet was tetrahedral concrete block type; during the 12 months ending June 30, 1936, 18,555 linear feet of new revetment was placed, of this amount 10,355 linear feet was concrete mats, and 8,200 linear feet was lumber mattress and stone paving; during the 12 months ending June 30, 1937, 3,494 linear feet of new concrete mat revetment was placed. Work during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1938, consisted in placing about 942,960 square feet of concrete mattress, 57,300 square feet of concrete paving, and 729,500 square feet of stone paving (rip- rap) as repairs to and renewals of old revetment work. No new revetment work was placed during the fiscal year. The season's work also included revetment surveys. During the fiscal year 1938 there was no new construction work under the contraction works program, and repairs to existing work consisted of minor maintenance only. Vicksburg district.-Experiments were begun in the third district (Vicksburg engineer district) in 1915 with concrete mats. These mats as now built are formed of reinforced concrete slabs 3 inches thick, 111/2 inches wide, and 3 feet 11 inches long, reinforced and connected by bracket-type noncorrosive No. 5 wire fabric so designed that completed mattress will have a unit tensile strength of 4,000 pounds per foot and tension in every direction. The units formed with the above fabric, each 4 by 25 feet (100 square feet), are clipped together with noncorrosive wire clips. Various changes have been made in the interest of durability and economy, and experiments look- ing to further efficiency are being continued. The amount of rein- forced concrete mats placed in the Vicksburg district during the 13 months ending June 30, 1929, was 26,435 linear feet; during the 12 months ending June 30, 1930, 14,030 linear feet; during the 12 months ending June 30, 1931, 15,198 linear feet. There was no reinforced con- crete mat placed during the 12 months ending June 30, 1932. During the 12 months ending June 30, 1933, 14,215 linear feet of new revet- ment were placed. During the 12 months ending June 30, 1934, 5,705 linear feet of new concrete mattress revetment and 3,000 linear feet of experimental concrete tetrahedral block revetment were placed. During the 12 months ending June 30, 1935, 9,385 linear feet of new concrete mattress and 320 linear feet of experimental concrete tetra- hedral block revetment were placed. During the 12 months ending June 30, 1936, 4,763 linear feet of new concrete mattress were placed. During the 12 months ending June 30, 1937, no new mattress was placed. During the fiscal year 1934 experiments were begun with a new type of revetment. The river bank was covered with a blanket of concrete blocks shaped as tetrahedrons, the separate blocks having an altitude of about 1 foot. The blocks were made by contract and placed by Government-owned plant and hired labor as protection to approximately 2,297,900 square feet of river bank (includes both new work and repairs). Above the water surface the blocks were hand-placed to form a close-fitting pavement, using 250 blocks per 100 square feet of area. Below the water surface the blocks were thrown from barges and distributed over the area to form a blanket of approximately 250 blocks per 100 square feet of area. The effec- 2064 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 tiveness of this type of bank protection is not yet fully determined because of the short length of time it has been in use. Work during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1938, consisted in placing 1,185 linear feet of new revetment (woven board mattress) and 1,303,900 square feet of concrete mattress and 146,000 square feet of riprap as repairs to and renewals of old work. Sand dikes constructed by dredging, built during the fiscal year 1938 under the contraction works program, totaled 3,400 linear feet. The season's work also included revetment surveys and repairs to plant. There has been placed to date in this district a total of 223,494 linear feet of concrete mattress, 3,320 linear feet of concrete tetrahedral block revetment, and 1,185 linear feet of woven board mattress for bank protection and 480 linear feet of permeable pile dike and 57,140 linear feet of sand dike in connection with the contraction works. Second district, New Orleans.-The concrete revetment unit in use by the second district, New Orleans, was completed and placed in the field during fiscal year 1929. During the 13 months ended June 30, 1929, a total of 15,843 linear feet of new revetment (willow mats) was placed in the second New Orleans district; during the 12 months ended June 30, 1930, 7,857 linear feet of new concrete revetment was placed and 11,610 linear feet of new willow mats, total 19,467 linear feet; during 12 months ended June 30, 1931, 1,741 linear feet of new concrete revetment and 1,782 linear feet of new willow mats, total 3,523 linear feet; 155 linear feet of new concrete revetment was placed during fiscal year 1932, and 190 linear feet during fiscal year 1933, and 3,271 linear feet during fiscal year 1934; 530 linear feet of new concrete revetment and 5,394 linear feet of asphalt revetment were placed during the fiscal year 1935, a total of 5,924 linear feet. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1936, 15,966 linear feet of new asphalt revetment were placed; during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1937, 6,412 linear feet of new asphalt revetment were placed. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1938, 2,717 linear feet of new asphalt revetment were placed and 763,800 square feet of asphalt revetment were constructed for repairs to and renewals of old work. Sand dikes, constructed by dredging, built during the fiscal year 1938 under the contraction works program, totaled 19,470 linear feet. Extensive experiments based on the use of asphaltic mixtures were carried out during the fiscal year 1933 in the second district, New Orleans, in an effort to develop a mattress free from openings with all metal parts embedded in a protective medium. Surveys along the river between Baton Rouge and the northern limits of the dis- trict developed the fact that bar sand of uniform composition, as well as a deposit known to geologists as "loess," which has proven of value as a filler in asphaltic mixtures, were available in ample quantities. Exhaustive laboratory tests and studies were undertaken with these materials to determine the best asphalt mixture suitable for use in a reinforced asphaltic mattress, and a satisfactory mixture formula was developed. The reinforced asphaltic mattress is com- posed of this special asphaltic mixture cast in a series of successive launches, welded together to form a continuous unbroken mattress, in which all cables, reinforcing, and fastenings are completely em- bedded and thoroughly protected. Actual working scale trials of the reinforced asphalt mattress were made in the second district, New MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2065 Orleans, during January and February 1933. An experimental plant was developed to manufacture and sink asphalt mattresses.. About 12,000 square feet of asphalt mattresses were made and sunk in the Mississippi River at the engineer depot, New Orleans. Water- of maximum depth of 85 feet, with a current of 5.6 feet per second, was encountered during launching. The mattress was successfully made and lunched under all sorts of weather conditions. Consider- able drift was encountered due to rising river, so that it may be said that general conditions obtaining were quite severe. The results of the trials were favorable. At the end of the fiscal year 1933 a full- size asphalt revetment plant was under construction. The plant was. placed in operation during the fiscal year 1934. Plans and specifications for contraction-work plant for the Mem- phis district were completed in 1930 and construction thereof com- pleted during fiscal year 1931. Plant is available in the Vicksburg district for contraction work. In the second New Orleans district all the various types of dredges are used as contraction plant; during the fiscal year 1938 two pump barges and three cutterhead dredges were used on contraction work in the second New Orleans district. Studies and surveys in connection with contraction works on lower river were continued. Summary.-Since work began in 1928 under the present flood-con,- trol project provided for in congressional act dated May 15, 1928, approximately 449,902 linear feet of new revetment for bank 1rotec- tion covering 85.2 miles of river bank has been constructed and placed along the Mississippi River below Cairo (not including rock groins, pile dikes, or crib dikes) ; under' the contraction-works program more. than 199,000 linear feet of dikes (37.7 miles) have been constructed in the Memphis district; and approximately 57,620 linear feet of dikes (57,140 sand dikes and 480 permeable pile dikes) (10.9 miles) have been constructed in the Vicksburg district and 128,010 linear feet of" sand dikes (24.2 miles) in the second New Orleans district under the contraction-works program. Work during the 12 months ending June 30, 1937, within the Mem- phis, Vicksburg, and second New Orleans districts consisted in placing 3,902 linear feet of new revetment; in addition, about 2,246,860 square feet of concrete mattress, 729,500 square feet of stone paving (riprap),. 57,300 square feet of concrete paving, 146,000 square feet of riprap, and 763,800 square feet of asphalt revetment were constructed and placed for repairs to and renewals of old revetment work. No new dikes were constructed and only minor maintenance to existing works: was carried on during the fiscal year 1938 in connection with con- traction works in the Memphis district; in the Vicksburg district 3,400 linear feet of new sand dikes were constructed in connection with contraction work and 19,470 linear feet in the second New Orleans district. 2066 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

S. ARMY, 1938 Effect of dikes in channel adjustment.-Contractionworks are pri- marily for the purpose of training and directing the low-water flow through a single channel of project width and depth, having a de- sirable alinement. The effectiveness of contraction works is depend- ent, for the most part, on retarding the current through the dike area, permitting the material in saltation and suspension to form an accre- tion which induces an accelerated current over the crossing, causing scour, and resulting in a fixed and deep-water channel. The effect of dikes in channel adjustment can be best exemplified by the dikes in the vicinity of Island 13, Tenn. Prior to the con- struction of this system of dikes at the head of the crossing, this locality was a constant source of trouble to navigation, requiring continuous dredging operations throughout the low-water season. This dike system was completed late in 1932, and in less than 2 years the dike area had accumulated an average fill of 11 feet. The result of this fill is that a fixed channel has been obtained, with a desirable alinement and sufficient width and depth of channel to eliminate dredging in this locality throughout the low-water season. Sand dikes of two types have been constructed in the Vicksburg district, both types being successful in their purpose: The sand dike constructed in wide reaches to restrict flow to a narrower channel, thus accelerating the velocity so that the desired channel would scour; the sand dike constructed to cut off flow through the minor channel so that the resulting increased velocities will develop the main chan- nel. The sand dike at Kentucky Bend (505) a was only partially successful in developing the desired alinement. The sand dike at Opossum Chute (530), built to cut off flow between Wildcat and Duncansby Towheads, was successful in that the desired channel now exists and with Wildcat Towhead almost scoured away. The experi- mental sand dikes placed in the Racetrack Reach (605-610) and the sand dike cutting off flow in the bendway have resulted in marked development of the chute and filling at the head of the old bendway channel. Other sand dikes are no longer effective but have served their purpose successfully. The construction of contraction dikes has been pursued extensively in the second New Orleans district for two types of channel condi- tions. On river crossings where the channel is wide and shallow, dikes have been used to confine the channel to a normal width such that the resulting accelerated velocities would scour the confined area to a depth which would fulfill the requirements of navigation and also provide a more efficient channel for high water. In river reaches where islands and cut-offs created two channels, cut-off dikes have been built across the minor channel in order to develop or accelerate development of one main channel. The general effectiveness of these dikes is marked by the lack of navigation trouble such that mainte- nance work was required in only one instance during the fiscal year. It is believed that the full effect of the contraction work has not yet been reached as the existing dikes are being improved and considerable time is required for the channel adjustments to reach full development. During the fiscal year 1938, in the second New Orleans district, work on crossing dikes has been pursued at Newtown Bend (626-630), Togo (630-634), Hardscrabble Bend (654), Waterproof Crossing (676- 8 Figures in parentheses denote distance in miles below Cairo, Ill., gage. MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2071 678) 3, and cut-off dikes have been built or reinforced at Kellogg Lake (626) and St. Catherine (719).

The estimated content of the levee lines already up to or in process of construction to the adopted project grade and section covering the main river project levees from Cape Girardeau, Mo., to the Head of Passes, La., as provided for in section 1 of the above act, and projects (under sec. 1) adopted by amendments to the 1928 act, was about 902,581,656 13 cubic yards; about 93,340,746.14 cubic yards remain to be placed to complete this project. A total of 740,152 cubic yards was placed in levees under sections 6 and 7 of the above act during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1938 (maintenance and repairs); no estimate can be made of the yardage remaining to be placed under section 7. During the past 10 years more than 649,513,000 cubic yards have been placed in levees (625,375,000 cubic yards under sec. 1 and 24,138,- 000 cubic yards under sec. 6 of the act dated May 15, 1928); in addition, some 9,409,000 cubic yards were placed under sections 6 and 7 of the act during the same period (maintenance and repairs). Yardage placed increased from 23,000,000 in fiscal year 1929 to over 107,538,000 in 1933 and to over 124,804,000 in 1934 (a record for yardage placed in 1 year); due to fewer contracts in force in fiscal year 1935 together with unfavorable weather conditions and pro- longed high stages of the Mississippi River, only 65,946,000 cubic yards were placed; during fiscal years 1936, 1937, and 1938, due to fewer contracts in force as a result of the near completion of the levees under May 15, 1928, Flood Control Act the yardage placed in each of those years amounted to 61,416,000 cubic yards, 36,431.000 cubic yards, and 19,665,000 cubic yards, respectively; prices gradually reduced from about 26.7 cents per cubic yard in 1929 to about 15.5 cents per cubic yard in 1933; prices per cubic yard advanced slightly in 1934 (in the Memphis district work let under contract with National Industrial Recovery Administration funds averaged 21.9 cents per cubic yard, in the Vicksburg district 17 cents per cubic yard, and in the second New Orleans district over 47,250,000 cubic yards were placed at an average unit price of 19.4 cents per cubic yard). The average for work let during the fiscal year 1935 in the Memphis district was 22.9 cents per cubic yard; in the same fiscal year 30,778,000 cubic yards were placed in the second New Orleans district at an average unit price of 23.02 cents per cubic yard. During the fiscal year '1936 the average price for levee work was 20.7 cents per cubic yard in the Memphis district and 18.1 cents per cubic yard in the Vicksburg district; in the second New Orleans district 37,000,000 cubic yards were placed at an average price of 23 cents per cubic yard.

Report on operation of the floodway in 1937 is included in Annual Report of Chief of Engineers, United States Army, for 1937, part 1, pages 1739-1740. The construction of the intercepting drainage ditches and appurte- nant structures necessary to carry the drainage intercepted by the Birds Point-New Madrid set-back levee has been completed and they have been functioning very satisfactorily for 61/2 years. The construction of the set-back levee has been completed, with the filling of the gap at the Missouri Pacific Railroad crossing at Samos; how- ever, final judgment has not been secured on the right-of-way at this point. The fuse-plug sections of the river-front levee have not been degraded to the grade established in the project. Lands for one-half mile landward of the upper fuse-plug section of the river- front levee have been acquired in fee simple and were leased for farming purposes this year. Flowage easements have been acquired over the remainder of the floodway area except 1,033 acres being carried to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals by the defendant and 20,000 acres stayed in the district court pending the completion of a case in the United States Courtof Claims. These cases represent eight-tenths of 1 percent and 15.3 percent, respectively, of the area of the floodway. MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2087 Crevasses in the front-line levee caused by the 1937 flood have been repaired except in the lower fuse-plug section and the levee restored to former grade and section. In spite of heavy damage to buildings in the floodway the inhabitants moved back after the 1937 flood and raised excellent crops. Boeuf floodway.-Surveys for the location of the protection levees have been made. During fiscal year 1931 comprehensive revision studies for Boeuf overflow basin and estimates on a number of alter- nate plans were prepared. During the fiscal year 1932 surveys and studies were made to determine the feasibility of diverting excess Mississippi River waters through a ditch located in the thalweg of the Boeuf Basin, the original pilot ditch to be enlarged by erosion. During the fiscal year 1933 diversion studies were continued. Plans and estimates for the protection of West Monroe, La., were com- pleted. The construction of protection levees for the south portion of West Monroe has been completed. Plans and estimates for the protection works on east bank of Ouachita River at Monroe, La., and vicinity, begun during the fiscal year 1933, were completed during the fiscal year 1934. The protection works on the east bank of Ouachita River from above Sterlington to below Monroe are com- pleted. Protection levees and levee walls for Monroe and West Monroe, La., have been included in Ouachita River levee system since plans for the Boeuf floodway have been abandoned under authority of act approved June 15, 1936, and are complete. Eudora floodway.-During the fiscal year 1933, preliminary as- sessment surveys were made between proposed floodway limits in Arkansas and Louisiana. During fiscal years 1933, 1934, and 1935, revision studies, plans, and estimates were continued on which the project adopted by act approved June 15, 1936, was based. During the fiscal year 1937, detailed plans and estimates were continued. Aerial photographic surveys have been completed of the area in Arkansas and Louisiana, right-of-way and ownership surveys were made of the area, preparation of tract maps, appraisals by the De- partment of Agriculture and Forestry Service and taking of options was begun of the area in Arkansas and Louisiana. Third order control, topographic, drainage, and levee location surveys were completed. During the fiscal year 1938 right-of-way and ownership surveys, preparation of tract maps, and appraisals by the Depart- ment of Agriculture and Forestry Service were completed. Taking of options was suspended in May 1938. Studies were continued. During the 12 months ending June 30, 1938, costs amounting to $272,869.74 and net expenditures amounting to $317,337.09 were in- curred by the Vicksburg district under regular funds. The net expenditures to June 30, 1938, amounted to $734,990.02, all of which were incurred from regular funds. Morgaza floodway.-Property surveys and mapping have been completed except for minor changes required from time to time as a result of changes in ownership. Topographic survey and mapping of the floodway area north of the approximate latitude of Krotz Spriigs were completed during the fiscal year. Surveys of locations for high-level railroad and highway crossings were made and soil Sborings taken along these routes. Soil borings were also made on a tentative location for a dredged channel included in one of the alter- nate floodway plans under consideration. Location of the upper 2088 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 guide levee, extending from the Mississippi River levee near Batch- elor to the East Atchafalaya River levee near Red Cross, has been approved. Surveys of this location have been made, and specifica- tions for the construction of this levee are being prepared. Negotia- tions with the proper agencies relating to the high-level highway and railroad crossings are in progress. During the 12 months ending June 30, 1938, costs amounting to $121,545.96 and net expenditures amounting to $118,497.65 were in- curred by the second New Orleans district under regular funds. The net expenditures to June 30, 1938, amounted to $170,719.74, all of which was incurred from regular funds. West Atchafalaya floodway.-Property surveys and mapping have been completed except for minor changes required from time to time as a result of changes in ownership. Studies of drainage conditions affected by the construction of the West Atchafalaya Basin protection levee are in progress. Options for purchase of flowage easements have been obtained covering approximately 89 percent of the value of the lands in the floodway. During the 12 months ending June 30, 1938, costs amounting to $90,302.32 and net expenditures amounting to $70,896.38 were incurred by the second New Orleans district under regular funds. The net expenditures to June 30, 1938, amounted to $130,816.26, all of which was incurred from regular funds. Atchifalaya Basin.-Levee construction in the Atchafalaya Basin protection levee system was continued. The west levee line now fur- nishes protection from near Hamburg, La., to Charenton, La., with the exception of an opening at Grand Avoille Cove which will be closed when the Charenton Navigation and Drainage Canal is con- structed and for several relatively small gaps for drainage and trans- portation facilities which can be readily closed in an emergency. Completion of a contract now in effect will extend the west levee line from Charenton, La., to the head of Wax Lake Outlet. The east levee line now furnishes interim protection from Viva, La., to Mor- ganza, La., and complete protection from Viva, La., to Morgan City, La., except for a navigation cut below Little Bayou Pigeon, small gaps left for transportation facilities, which can be readily closed in an emergency, and in certain locations, particularly in the southern portion of the basin, where considerable difficulty is being experi- enced in bringing levees to full grade and section due to numerous slides and foundation failures. Borrow pits for both the east and west levees have been enlarged in locations where they were inade- quate for purposes of drainage and navigation. Channel improvement dredging to increase the flood discharge of the basin was continued throughout the year. Constricted reaches of the Atchafalaya River between Barbre Landing and Alabama Bayou were enlarged. The Whiskey Bay Channel was enlarged near the upper end; enlargements of Blind Tensas cut and Grand Lake Chan- nel were completed; the Bayou Chene-Tarleton Bayou enlargement is approximately 60 percent complete. These jobs are part of a project to develop a main channel for the Atchafalaya River above Grand Lake. During the 12 months ending June 30, 1938, costs and expenditures were incurred by the second New Orleans district, as follows: MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2089 Costs: Regular funds----------------------------------- - -$640, 278. 23 Emergency Relief Administration funds------------- -------- 12, 855. 53 Total--------------------------------------------------- 653, 133. 7& Net expenditures: Regular funds-------------------------------------------- 638, 579. 58 Emergency Relief Administration funds ________--- _ 12, 855. 53 Total ---------------------------------------- ----------- 651, 435.11 The net expenditures to June 30, 1938, amounted to $678,927.54, of which $666,072.01 was expended from regular funds and $12,855.53 from Emergency Relief Administration funds. Outlet west of Berwick.-Property surveys and mapping have been completed except for minor changes required from time to time as a result of changes in ownership. Work of dredging the outlet chan- nel and the building of the west guide levee with dredge spoil was begun on November 8, 1937, under a contract involving the excavation of approximately 22,100,000 cubic yards. Work under this contract was approximately 58 percent complete as of June 30, 1938. When this contract is completed, there will be provided a channel of project depth, and of half the project width, extending from Six Mile Lake to the lower end of Wax Lake, except for a "plug," some 1,200 feet in length, at the site of the highway and railroad crossings. This will be removed after the bridges are constructed. Negotiations with highway and railroad officials concerning the channel crossings for these facilities are in progress. Options were obtained on all tracts of land involved in this project except one, in which case it was neces- sary to institute condemnation proceedings for the sole purpose of clearing the title. During the 12 months ending June 30, 1938, costs amounting to $1,171,522.51 and net expenditures amounting to $1,036,368.86 were incurred by the second New Orleans district under regular funds. The net expenditures to June 30, 1938, amounted to $1,104,241.40, all of which was incurred from regular funds. Bonnet Carre spillway.-The Bonnet Carre spillway was first placed in operation during the 1937 flood season. Report on operation of the spillway in 1937 is included in Annual Report of Chief of Engineers, United States Army, for 1937, part 1, pages 1743-1745. The construction of the Bonnet Carre spillway structure was brought to completion on February 10, 1931. Both the upper and the lower guide levees were completed to final grade in the summer of 1932, excepting gaps at highway and railroad crossings. During the fiscal year 1935 two of the four crossings were completed, including bridges and approaches. During the fiscal year 1936 the other two crossings were completed, including bridges and approaches. Closure of all gaps in the guide levees at the highway and railroad crossings was completed during the fiscal year 1936. Degrading of the Missis- sippi River levee across the entrance to the approach channel of the spillway was also completed during the fiscal year 1936, excepting the dressing and sodding, which was completed in December 1936. The drainage canal above the upper guide levee was completed on October 15, 1936. These two latter items of work brought the construction of the spillway and floodway to completion. 2090 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 The spillway structure consists of a weir divided into separate needle-control openings by piers spaced 22 feet on centers, a rear concrete apron protected by riprap, a concrete fore apron with dentiled baffles, and an articulated concrete slab talus 6 inches in thickness resting upon layers of riprap and gravel. The principal data of the spillway and floodway are as follows: Location, 32.8 miles above Canal Street, New Orleans, and 942.4 miles below Cairo, Ill.

During the 12 months ending June 30, 1938, maintenance and repair and improvement of flow conditions in the floodway were undertaken. Localized scour areas, caused by the 1937 operation of the spillway, were repaired; sand and silt deposits were leveled; the floodway above the highway bridge was cleared of brush and other vegetation, and prepared for pasture in order to prevent recurrence of deteriorating growth; extensive portions of timbered areas within the floodway were cleared of underbrush; and a channel, 2,650 feet long, involving the excavation of 951,000 cubic yards of material, designed to effect better distribution of flow near the lower end of the floodway, was dredged. The dredged material was deposited in a spoil bank dike 7 Does not include maintenance. MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2091 riverward of the Illinois Centyal Railroad, to prevent scour between the upper guide levee borrow pit and Lake Pontchartrain. This work is expected to result in more efficient operation of the spillway, including lowered flow line elevations and more uniform distribution of flow in the floodway. Repainting of the structural steel in the weir structure, which was commenced in the latter part of June of 1937, was continued to Feb- ruary 15, 1938, when it was completed. This project included the complete removal of the original paint and mill scale from the steel by means of sandblasting. The cleaned steel was painted with two coats of red-lead paint and a final coat of aluminum paint. The costs and net expenditures for the Bonnet Carre spillway during the 12-month period ending June 30, 1938, incurred in the second New Orleans district, were as follows: Regular funds Emergency Relief Admin- istration funds Allotment Costs Net expendi- Costs Net expend- tures itures Maintenance Bonnet Carre_ $239, 817. 71 $239, 709. 82 -- - -_ Clearing Bonnet Carre _ 43, 563. 65 38, 820. 29 $433, 345. 83 $421, 167. 99 Total__ - 283, 381. 36 278, 530. 11 433, 345. 83 421, 167. 99 The net expenditures on the Bonnet Carre spillway to June 30, 1938, amounted to $14,347,018.97, of which $13,790,850.98 was ex- pended from regular funds, $135,000 from National Industrial Re- covery Administration funds, and $421,167.99 from Emergency Relief Administration funds. White River backwater levee.-The White River backwater levee construction was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 15, 1936. The area to be used for the White River backwater levee project is located in the State of Arkansas and is in general bounded by the Mississippi and White Rivers, Big Creek, and Oldtown Lake. A large part of this area is subjected almost annually to White River floodwaters and Mississippi River backwater. It is expected to ini- tiate levee construction to an interim grade early in fiscal year 1939. Determination of final grade and construction has not yet been defi- nitely decided. Construction to the interim grade will require ap- proximately 15,000,000 cubic yards of earth fill. (The total amount of earthwork involved is 32,000,000 cubic yards.) In order to pre- vent overtopping in the vicinities of outlet structures and at the junc- tion with Laconia Circle, the top grade of the levee will be 3 feet above the normal levee grade for a distance of approximately 1 mile at each locality. The Laconia Circle levee and the front levee above Laconia Circle will also be raised. A fuse-plug section constructed in whole or in part of sand will be constructed in the vicinity of Mussel Point on the White River in order to control the point of entry of floodwaters into the area. The area to be enclosed Ly the proposed levee is approximately 149,000 acres. Local interests are required by law to furnish all flowage easements as well as rights- of-way necessary for levee construction, and are fully meeting these requirements. Topographic surveys of the entire 41 miles of levee 2092 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 location have been completed and the levee alinement has been revised at Little Island Bayou to agree with a permit granted to local inter- ests by the United States Biological Survey of the Department of Agriculture. The White River backwater levee project also includes the construction of drainage structure outlets through the levee by the Federal Government. Plans and specifications for these struc- tures are almost fully completed, and construction will be initiated in the early part of the fiscal year 1939. During the 12 months ending June 30, 1938, costs amounting to $53,665.80 and net expenditures amounting to $53,309.38 were in- curred by the Memphis district under regular funds. Prior to this fiscal year no costs nor expenditures had been incurred for this work. DAMS AND RESERVOIRS St. FrancisRiver project (WVappapello Dam and Reservoir).-The St. Francis River project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 15, 1936. The levee and reservoir plan adopted in- cludes the construction of a dam at Wappapello, Mo. The area to be used for the reservoir is located in Wayne County in the State of Missouri. It is entirely encompassed by the Ozark Hills and is of irregular outline. Along the main valley the area, at spillway crest (elevation 395 mean Gulf level) will approximate a mile or more in width and will include some 40 miles of the St. Francis River. The towns of Greenville and Chaonia will be included within the area. Some parts of this area are subjected almost annually to flood- waters of the St. Francis River. It is expected to initiate construc- tion on the Wappapello Dam early in fiscal year 1939, and to com- plete the work in fiscal year 1941. The Wappapello Dam site lies directly southwest of the community of Wappapello, Mo., where the St. Francis River emerges from the Ozarks upland. The dam when completed will be formed by a rolled earth fill about one-half mile in length with'its crest at 416 feet above mean Gulf level and about 73 feet above the general valley floor. Solid rock underlies the abut- ting hill to the south where the structures necessary to the control of outlet waters will be located. The design provides for an out- flow rate of 10,000 cubic feet per second at comparatively low heads which can be increased to 18,000 cubic feet per second when the pool is near spillway crest and all gates are open. The dam will be ap- proximately 2,600 feet long at the crown. It will be a homogeneous structure and contain approximately 2,000,000 cubic yards of imper- vious material. Both slopes will be riprapped and an adequate toe drainage system will be provided. The outlet works will be located about 400 feet from the dam and will consist of a conservation pool weir, three control gates, transition section concrete lined D-shaped conduit about 22 feet in diameter and a stilling basin. The uncon- trolled spillway, which will be located on a saddle about 1,200 feet from the end of the dam, will be a concrete gravity type, ogee section structure founded in bedrock with about 740 feet of opening. The crest of the spillway will be 395 feet above mean Gulf level. Esti- mates indicate that 37,000 cubic yards of concrete will be placed in the spillway and control structure. Local interests have furnished satisfactory assurances as required by law. MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2093 During the 12 months ending June 30, 1938, costs amounting to $387,571.92 and net expenditures amounting to $399,582.70 were in- ,curred by the Memphis district under regular funds. Prior to this fiscal year no costs nor expenditures had been incurred for this work. Yazoo Basin (Sardis Dam and Reservoir).-The existing project for Sardis Dam and Reservoir was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 15, 1936, which is based on report published in House Document 198, Seventy-third Congress, second session, and report published in House Committee Document No. 1, Seventy-fourth Con- gress, first session. During the fiscal year 1936 surveys, borings, de- signs, and land appraisals were begun. During the fiscal year 1937 :studies, plans, and designs were continued. Clearing of reservoir, dam-site, and borrow-pit areas and grubbing of dam site was begun. Construction work on roads, bridges, and construction camp was be- gun. During the fiscal year 1938 work on construction camp, field sur- veys and preparations of maps, construction of floating plant, includ- ing a hydraulic dredge and derrick barge, transmission line and substation were completed. Model studies of outlet works and spill- way were completed at United States Waterways Experiment Station. Analysis of samples from the hydraulic fill borrow pit was completed and analysis of samples from rolled fill, hydraulic fill, and special silt investigation was continued. Clearing on 1,076 acres of dam site was 2.4 percent completed, bringing the total of completion to 96.7 percent; grubbing of 466 acres of dam site was continued, bringing the total of completion to 85.9 percent; clearing of 39.1 percent of reservoir area was completed; abstracts in connection with land acquisition were continued, this work being 68.4 percent complete; 1,668,530 cubic yards, or 60.9 percent, of excavation and 1,102,523 cubic yards, or 61 percent, of rolled fill, were completed by contract; 874,729 cubic yards, or 30 percent, of hydraulic fill and 2,467,000 cubic yards, or 43 percent, of hydraulic excavation were completed by hired labor; the sawmill cut 947,055 feet board measure; work on pipe toe drain system and outlet structure was begun; plans, studies, and designs were con- tinued. Specifications for rolled fill, hydraulic fill, outlet works, and :spillway are complete. During the 12 months ending June 30, 1938, the costs and net expenditures incurred by the Vicksburg district for projects in the Yazoo Basin (Sardis Dam and Reservoir) were as follows: Regular funds Appropriation for flood con- Appropriation formainte- Emergency Relief Admin- trol, Mississippi River and nance and improvement tribuitariesof existing river and harbor works Costs expend- Netitures Costs Net expendi- Costs Net expendi- tures tures $1, 117, 357. 89 $2, 276, 052. 27 $508, 422. 59 $410, 119.98 $118, 591. 25 $127, 071. 93 The supervision of work paid for from appropriation for mainte- nance and improvement of existing river and harbor works and from Emergency Relief Administration funds was transferred from the 2094 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 Lower Mississippi Valley Division to the Mississippi River Commis- sion in fiscal year 1938 and the entire costs incurred for projects in the Yazoo Basin are reported by the Mississippi River Commission in this annual report. The net expenditures incurred to June 30, 1938, amounted to $3,713,215.72, of which $2,945,028.89 was expended from regular funds and $768,186.83 from Emergency Relief Administration funds. WATERWAYS EXPERIMENT STATION The Waterways Experiment Station operating under the direction of the President, Mississippi River Commission, comprises a hydrau- lics division and a soil mechanics division, together with the necessary administrative and general service facilities for the conduct of ex- perimental work. Each of these divisions is in turn subdivided into a laboratory and a research center. The laboratory, as its name implies, has as its function the experimental investigation of all hydraulic and soils problems presented to this station for study. The hydraulics and soil mechanics research centers, established by author- ization of the Chief of Engineers in 1937 and 1936 respectively, are charged with the assembling of experimental data from all available sources, foreign and domestic; the analyzing and interpreting of these data; and the disseminating of these data to the various districts and divisions of the engineer department. The dissemination of informa- tion of general interest to the entire engineer department is accom- plished, in part, by the periodic issue of a pamphlet known as the "Experiment Station Bulletin." Volume 1, No. 1, of this bulletin was issued on June, 1, 1938. The studies at this station arise from problems encountered by the engineer department in regulating and improving the rivers and harbors of the country. The primary pur- pose of all studies is to aid in obtaining the most economical and efficient engineering design for proposed works. The station is con- cerned primarily with problems relative to the lower Mississippi River and its tributaries; however, under authority from the Chief of Engineers the station also undertakes studies for districts outside the lower Mississippi Valley division. During the past fiscal year, the hydraulic laboratory has performed studies on 8 problems pertaining to the lower Mississippi Valley division and 12 problems pertaining to 8 districts outside this division. In addition to these, one experi- ment was undertaken in the hydraulic laboratory for a nongovern- mental agency. The Soil Mechanics Laboratory conducted five studies pertaining to the lower Mississippi Valley division and 14 for districts outside this division. The Soil Mechanics Laboratory also conducted two studies for other governmental agencies. All experi- ments performed have a practical application to the work of the Corps of Engineers, United States Army, in its administration of the rivers and harbors of the Nation. The Waterways Experiment Station holds as an unvarying principle the maintenance of close contact with the field in all experimental work. This contact is kept both by station personnel visiting the prototype, and by engineers from the field visiting the station while pertinent model studies are in progress.

The Mississippi River exceeded bankfull stage (the point where water overflows the bank, which is about the eleva- tion of the base of the levee) from Cairo (0.0) to Helena (307),3 from the latter part of March to the latter part of April; on the lower river from Angola (771), to Carrollton (New Orleans) (967), the stage exceeded bankfull from the first part of March to the mid- dle of May and also from the first to the latter part of June. Bank- full stage was not exceeded in the Vicksburg district. No damage was done to the main stem levees on the Mississippi River by the 1938 high water. The following tabulation shows the crest stages in 1938 on the principal Mississippi River gages from Cairo, Ill., to Fort Jackson, La., together with highest stages of record prior to 1938 and the 1929, 1932, 1933, 1934, 1935, 1936, and 1937 crest stages: SFigures in parentheses denote distance in miles below Cairo, Ill., gage.

S. ARMY, 1938 Tributary rivers and outlets below Cairo, Ill.--In the Memphis district three crevasses occurred on White River and four on St. Francis River. Peak flow through the crevasse at sluiceway near Marked Tree, Ark., was 4,300 cubic feet per second. No flows were measured in other crevasses that occurred during 1938 high water. All levees in which crevasses occurred were constructed by local authorities; however, the district engineer's office gave assistance to the local authorities in the flood fighting.

In the Vicksburg district, on Red River, damaging floods occurred in Arkansas with levee breaks in Red River levee district No. 1, Gar- land levee district, and Hempstead County levee district No. 1. The crevasses occurred in levees constructed by local authorities; however the district engineer's office gave assistance to the local authorities in the flood fighting. At Garland City, Ark., bankfull stage of 28 feet was exceeded January 27 to 31, February 21 to May 2, and April 3 to 6. Crest stage of 35.5 occurred on February 24. At Shreveport the crest of 33.5 on March 1 did not reach bankfull. At Alexandria bankfull stage of 34 feet was exceeded February 1 to 12, February 25 to March 14, and April 6 to 29, with a crest of 39.8 on March 8. On Ouachita River at Arkadelphia, Ark., the maximum stage of record, 29.0 feet, occurred on February 19, and caused much overflow while in the lower reaches, bankfull stage was not exceeded. The crest at Monroe (Weather Bureau gage) was 41.4 on April 23 to 29, and at Jonesville, 52.4 on April 23 to 25. On Yazoo River at Greenwood the crest of 32.7 on April 21 to 22 was 2.3 feet below flood stage, and at Yazoo City the crest of 30.5 on April 28 to May 1 was slightly above flood stage. In the second New Orleans district, on the Atchafalaya River at Sim- mesport, La., the highest stage recorded in 1938 was 41.2 feet, April 27 to May 1, 1938, which was 12.2 feet below the highest reading on record (53.4 feet on May 16, 1927), and the lowest stage recorded in the fiscal year was 1.0 foot on October 12, 1937, which was 4.5 feet higher than the lowest reading on record (-3.5 feet on November 8, 1891); on the Atchafalaya River at Atchafalaya, the highest stage recorded in 1938 was 25.0 feet, April 27 to May 2, 1938, which was 0.9 foot below the highest reading on record (25.9 feet, March 7 to 9, 1937). Mississippi River and tributaries above Cairo, Ill.-No exceptional high-water stages occurred within the flood-control limits of the Rock MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2101 Island and St. Louis districts during the spring of 1938. In the St. Louis district extremely low stages prevailed on the middle Mississippi during December 1937, with the lowest of record at St. Louis. The low-water reading at St. Louis occurred on December 12 and 13, 1937, at a stage of -5.5 feet, this is -1.0 foot lower than compared with previous low water of record. Operationsunder the act of June 15,1936.--In the Memphis district the following work was accomplished during the fiscal year 1938: St. Francis River project--Surveys and plans for Wappapello Dam were completed. Surveys and plans were completed and work is be- ing initiated on approximately 3,500,000 cubic yards of levee work along the east bank of Little River in Drainage District No. 17 oi Mississippi County, Ark. Surveys and plans are nearly completed for early priority levee work along both banks of Little River in Dunklin County, Mo., Mississippi and Poinsett Counties, Ark. A temporary closure of crevassed levee was accomplished in Drainage District No. 7 of Poinsett County, Ark., in the vicinity of the lock and dam near Marked Tree, Ark. The obtaining of options for fee- simple purchase of lands within the Wappapello Reservoir area was prosecuted vigorously during the year. Of the total of options re- quired, 39.9 percent have been obtained. (Normally this percent is based on value of the land, but in this case does not give a true picture of work accomplished.) White River backwater levee-Construction work on the White River backwater levee has been deferred due to high water, and it is anticipated that levee work and the construction of the necessary drainage structures will be initiated in July or August 1938. In the Vicksburg district, operations under the act of June 15, 1936, consisted of operations in connection with the Eudora floodway and Sardis dam and reservoir, which have been covered in preceding para- graphs of this report, reference being made to floodways, spillway, and outlet, and dams and reservoirs, page 2086. In the second district, New Orleans, restoration of drainage and navigation routes intercepted by the construction of levees involved the excavation of 1,478,000 cubic yards of earthwork. The work consisted of enlarging the borrow pits along the west guide levee between the mouth of the Bayou des Glaises diversion channel and Bayou Cour- tableau; connection of borrow pits near Palmetto; an additional diver- sion channel between Bayou Courtableau and the borrow pit of Cour- tableau-Henderson levee; the excavation of an interceptor ditch to restore drainage along the riverside of the west guide levee below Hamburg; and deepening and widening the riverside borrow pits of the east guide levees to restore the navigation route between Morgan City and Plaquemine. Culverts have been installed in Bayou des Glaises loop and at Lottie; plans have been completed and approved for restoring drainage near Charenton by the construction of a cul- vert and small sublevees. Plans and studies have been made for the restoration of drainage intercepted by the west guide levee below Bayou Courtableau; plans have been completed for the construction of a drainage and navigation canal from the guide levee borrow pit near Charenton to Baldwin and thence south to West Cote Blanclhe Bay. This canal will establish an outlet for the drainage intercepted by the west guide levee and permit the closure of the gap in the levee at Grand Avoille Cove. Twenty million one hundred and ninety-six 2102 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 thousand one hundred and ninety-one cubic yards were dredged in improving the Atchafalaya River, the Atchafalaya basin main chan- nel below Alabama Bayou, and in constructing the Wax Lake outlet. An extensive system of gages has been established and discharge obser- vations made as a basis for future planning on the Atchafalaya River and in the basin. The restoration of traffic intercepted by the guide levees has been accomplished by the construction of ten bridges and trestles. Plans and preliminary surveys have been made for three additional bridges and for altering the railroad bridge across the Atchafalaya River at Krotz Springs; preliminary surveys and plans have been made for the proposed railroad and highway crossings of the Morganza floodway, the Wax Lake outlet, the Charenton drainage and navigation canal, and Berwick Bay at Morgan City. Options for the purchase of the necessary easements required for the construction of the Charenton-Baldwin navigation canal have been obtained for 91 percent of the area required for construction by hydraulic methods, :and 85 percent for that required for boom type or clamshell dredge equipment. Property surveys and mapping in connection with the Morganza floodway, West Atchafalaya floodway, and outlet west of Berwick have been completed except for minor changes required from time to time as a result of change in ownership and revision of plans. The obtaining of options for fee simple purchases in these floodways was abandoned at the beginning of the year and the obtaining of those for the purchase of flowage easements prosecuted vigorously, those for the outlet west of Berwick having been completed. Arbitrary con- demnation proceedings for the purpose of clearing title were instituted against one owner. The status of options for the remaining two flood- ways is as follows: Morganza floodway-options for fee simple pur- chase were obtained and recorded covering approximately 59 percent of the value of the lands in the floodway before discontinuing the taking of this type of option, and options for the purchase of flowage easements have been obtained and recorded covering approximately 86.6 percent of the value of the lands in the floodway. West Atcha- falaya floodway-options for fee simple purchase were obtained and recorded covering approximately 11 percent of the value of the lands in the floodway before discontinuing the taking of this type of option, and options for the purchase of flowage easements have been obtained and recorded covering 89 percent of the value of the lands in the floodway. The preparation of abstracts of title for the West Atcha- falaya floodway has been started and payment for flowage easements will be made upon approval of title. Plans and surveys have been made for the improvement of the discharge capacity of the Atcha- falaya River from Three Rivers to Alabama Bayou and negotiations started with the owners involved for the purchase of the necessary dredging and spoil-disposal easements. Atchafalaya River bridge at Simmesport, La.: The bridge over the Atchafalaya River at Simmesport, La., is a combination highway and railroad bridge owned jointly by the State of Louisiana and the Louisiana & Arkansas Railway Co., and is being lengthened by the addition of two 300-foot steel truss spans on the west side of the river. In pursuance of the program for the improvement of the discharge capacity of the Atchafalaya River, present plans contemplate widen- ming the channel of the river at Simmesport by dredging along the west bank to produce a total cross-sectional area of approximately 110,000 MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2103 square feet, the present cross-sectional area being approximately 70,000 square feet. Prior to the initiation of dredging it is necessary to provide the additional 600 feet of bridge, including the construc- tion of three deep piers, one abutment pier on foundation piling, the shifting of one existing 150-foot steel truss span to its new location at the west end of the altered structure, the addition of two 300-foot steel truss spans on the new deep piers, and the alteration and adjust- ment of the railway and highway approaches on the west bank of the river. A triparty contract for this work was entered into by the United States, the State of Louisiana, and the Louisiana & Arkansas Railway Co., under date of September 3, 1936, whereby the railway company agreed to perform the actual construction under separate contract, the actual cost of which would be reimbursed to the railway company by the United States, but not to exceed the amount of $1,100,000. The total amount of bids of the two successful low bidders is $836,845.70. Work under the construction contract was begun in May 1937, follow- ing the high water of that year. On June 30, 1938, the work was approximately 75 percent complete. The present estimated date of completion of the contract is August 12, 1938. H. B. FERGUSON, Brigadier General, Corps of Engineers, President of the Mississippi River Commission. PERMANENT INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF THE CONGRESSES OF NAVIGATION 1. By an act approved June 28, 1902, Congress appropriated the sum of $3,000 per year for the support and maintenance of the Perma- nent International Commission of the Congresses of Navigation and for the payment of the actual expenses of the properly accredited na- tional delegates of the United States to the meetings of the congresses and of the Commission. Beginning with the fiscal year 1936, such expenses were paid by allotment from the general appropriation for the improvement and maintenance of river and harbor works. The object of the association is the promotion of inland and maritime navi- gation by means of organized congresses, and the publication of perti- nent information. Its headquarters are in Brussels, Belgium, but the congresses are held in various countries upon invitation. 2. The association is supported principally by member nations, but the privileges of membership are also extended to corporations and libraries, as well as to individuals. Governments are represented by delegates, the number of delegates being based on the amounts received annually from such governments and their nationals for the expenses of the Commission. Corporate membership may include the privilege of representation by delegate, or not, according to the amount of the annual subscription paid by the holder of each membership of this class. Life individual membership may be secured upon the payment of a single fee, or ordinary individual membership upon the payment annually of a fixed fee. 3. The general affairs of the association are managed by a perma- nent commission with the assistance of the permanent council. The commission is composed of delegates from the supporting governments, and the council from the members of the permanent commission, the 2104 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 representation in each case being according to the amount of the annual contribution. 4. During the fiscal year the United States was represented as follows : On the American section of the permanent commission--by Col. Spencer Cosby, United States Army, retired, chairman; Lt. Col. Gordon R. Young, Corps of Engineers, United States Army; Brig. Gen. Charles Keller, United States Army, retired; Mr. J. Spencer Smith, president of the Board of Commerce and Navigation of the State of New Jersey; Mr. Roy Miller, active vice president of the Intracoastal Canal Association of Louisiana and Texas; Brig. Gen. Herbert Deakyne, United States Army, retired; Col. Glen E. Edger- ton, Corps of Engineers, United States Army; Commander W. H. Smith, Civil Engineer Corps, United States Navy; and Lt. Col. Ray- mond A. Wheeler, Corps of Engineers, United States Army. Colonel Wheeler also served as secretary of the American section. On the American section of the permanent council-by Colonel Cosby and General Keller. 5. A meeting of the Commission was held in Brussels, Belgium, on May 31, 1938, when the United States was represented by Col. Earl I. Brown, Corps of Engineers, United States Army; Col. Laurence V. Frazier, Corps of Engineers, United States Army; Capt. T. H. Stan- ley, Corps of Engineers. United States Army; and Capt. Miles Reber, Corps of Engineers, United States Army. During the year there were received from the central office in Brussels and distributed to the American members two semiannual bulletins. These were printed in English. Chapter 12 of the Illustrated Technical River and Harbor Dictionary was also received and distributed. This chapter is on maritime signals and is the third chapter issued of a proposed 15- chapter dictionary, which is being compiled in six languages. 6. The expenditures from the allotment made for the fiscal year amounted to $2,036.49, of which $1,000 was for the support and main- tenance of the association, being the regular annual contribution for that purpose, and the balance was for the payment of the traveling expenses of delegates from the United States and for importation of scientific books. The outstanding obligations at the close of the year amounted to approximately $963.51 and were for the expenses of delegates. INTEROCEANIC CANAL SURVEYS The proposed canal route across Nicaragua extends from Brito on the Pacific via the Rio Grande, Lake Nicaragua, the Rio San Juan, and the Rio Deseado to Greytown on the Atlantic and is 173 miles long. A survey of the Nicaragua route was made in 1901, and Public Resolution No. 99, Seventieth Congress, approved March 2, 1929, au- thorized a further survey to bring the data up to date, as well as an investigation of additional facilities needed at the Panama Canal, to be made under the direction of the Secretary of War and supervision of the Chief of Engineers, with the aid of such civilian engineers as the President deemed advisable. The President appointed the Inter- oceanic Canal Board to assist: the Chief of Engineers. The Governor of the Panama Canal made the investigations at Panama and a pro- visional battalion of United States Engineer troops made the survey in Nicaragua. FEDERAL WATER POWER ACT 2105 The report of the Chief of Engineers, together with the reports of the Interoceanic Canal Board, of the Governor of the Panama Canal, and of the officer in charge of the survey, was submitted on December 5, 1931, and published in House Document No. 139, Seventy-second Congress, first session. An officer and one enlisted man are stationed in Nicaragua to con- tinue the collection and compilation of hydrological and meteorolog- ical data pertaining to the proposed canal. During the past fiscal year the collection of these data has involved the operation within the watershed of Lake Nicaragua of 24 rainfall stations, 13 stations for making fog observations, 7 stations for col- lection of evaporation data, 6 stations for recording lake levels and river stages, 3 stations for recording barometric pressure and humid- ity, 2 stations for gaging wind velocity, and 5 temperature stations. River-gaging stations are being maintained for measuring the flow of the Tipitapa and San Juan Rivers. The appropriation for the investigation and survey was $150,000, of which $140,389.95 has been expended to the end of the fiscal year 1938. The continuous collection of hydrological and meteorological data pertinent to the canal in Nicaragua is being paid for from the amount remaining from the original appropriation, and it is esti- mated that about $2,500 will be expended in continuing the operations during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1939. The River and Harbor Act approved June 20, 1938, authorized the Secretary of War to con- tinue the gathering of hydrological data in Nicaragua under the supervision of the Chief of Engineers as recommended in House Doc- ument No. 139, Seventy-second Congress, first session. The costs of this work, and such incidental expenses as may be necessary in con- nection therewith, are to be paid from appropriations hereafter made for examinations, surveys, and contingencies of "Rivers and harbors." INVESTIGATIONS AND SUPERVISION OF PROJECTS UNDER THE FEDERAL WATER POWER ACT The Federal Water Power Act of June 10, 1920, created the Fed- eral Power Commission, composed of the Secretary of War, Secre- tary of the Interior, and Secretary of Agriculture, with authority to grant permits and licenses for hydroelectric developments in all waters over which Congress has jurisdiction. The act further re- quired that the work of the Commission be performed by and through the Departments of War, Interior, and Agriculture, and their engi- neering, technical, and other personnel, except as may be otherwise provided by law. By the act of June 23, 1930, entitled "An act to reorganize the Fed- eral Power Commission," sections 1 and 2 of the Federal Water Power Act of June 10, 1920, were amended. A commission was pro- vided for to be composed of five commissioners to be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. The necessity of performing the work through the Departments of War, Interior, and Agriculture was also removed and the Commis- sion authorized to appoint such officers and employees as are neces- sary in the execution of its functions. By title II of the Public Utility Act of 1935, approved August 26, 1935, the original Federal Water Power Act was made part I of the Federal Power Act, and parts II and III added to that act. 2106 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 The law also provides that no water-power license affecting the navigable capacity of any navigable waters of the United States shall be issued until the plans of the dam or other structures affecting navi- gation have been approved by the Chief of Engineers and the Secre- tary of War. There is further provision whereby any person or corporation intending to construct project works in any stream over which Congress has jurisdiction, other than navigable waters, shall file a declaration of intention for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not the jurisdiction of the Federal Power Commission will attach. To July 1, 1929, only work of an engineering nature had been referred to the War Department by the Commission. Since that date, in addition to the duties noted below, certain work pertaining to accounting and related matters has been assigned to the War Department, as indicated in the following table: Number of projects on which supervision of all accounting work, including the supervision of preparation and the verification and certification to the Commission of statements of cost of original project and of all addi- tions thereto and betterment thereof and of all annual operating and financial reports requested by the Commission has been assigned-------- 3 Number of projects on which supervision of certain accounting and related work during the construction period only has been assigned_____---- 17 Special reports relating to accounting work requested_----_____-__------ 5 Special reports relating to accounting work rendered-----__-- ____-- 5 To July 1, 1937, the following work of an engineering nature had been referred to the War Department by the Commission: Engineering reports submitted---------------------------------- 307 Public hearings held ------__ ------------------------ 74 Licenses and permits referred for field supervision---------_------------ 144 Licenses and permits referred for supervision of stream gaging____----- 2 Declarations of intention referred for report -------- Reports submitted on declaration of intention __----121 ------------------------- 121 During the past fiscal year work of an engineering nature has been assigned and accomplished, as follows: Engineering reports requested---------------------------_ 5 Engineering reports submitted--------_-------------------__ 5 Public hearings held----------------------------------------------0 Field investigations still in progress ---------------------- - O0 Licenses and permits referred for field supervision_--- ...-. __---. 1 Licenses and permits under supervision__.------------- --------- 51 The necessary expenses of transportation and subsistence of per- sonnel engaged in investigations and the cost of supervision under the provisions of the Federal Power Act are paid from appropria- tions made for the Federal Power Commission.

T. H. Taylor, United States Navy, July 1, 1937, to April 25,1938; Capt. Harvey Delano, United States Navy, since that date. The laws enacted for the preservation of the tidal waters of New York Harbor, its adjacent or tributary waters, and the waters of Long Island Sound are administered by the supervisor of New York Harbor, a line officer of the Navy, under the direction of the Secre- tary of War. The supervisor is charged under the laws with the duties of preventing any obstructive or injurious deposits in the waters under his jurisdiction and the prevention of any interference with safe navigation of the channels of the harbor by deep-draft vessels. The laws relating to the supervision of New York Harbor are acts of Congress of June 29, 1888 (25 Stat. 209), amended by section 8 of act of May 28, 1908 (35 Stat. 424-426); act of Congress of August 18, 1894 (28 Stats. 360); act of Congress of May 28, 1908 (35 Stats. 426) ; act of Congress of February 16, 1909 (35 Stats. 623) ; and act of Congress of June 7, 1924 (Oil Pollution Act, 1924-43 Stats. 604). Operations and results during fiscal year.-Notices to acquaint navigation interests with the laws and regulations relating to the harbor were issued with a view to obtaining cooperation in their administration; dumping grounds for stone, ashes. mud, cellar dirt, sewerage sludge, and other refuse were designated; and 3,294 permits were issued for the removal of approximately 23,801,198 cubic yards of material. Soundings were taken at frequent intervals over the designated dumping areas to insure that sufficient depth of waters is maintained. Supervision was exercised by means of inspectors and patrols. Three patrols are maintained--one at the mouth of the harbor to col- lect permits and observe conditions of loading; one to insure that no material is deposited at places other than the designated dumping grounds and to keep the main channels free of any interference to the safe navigation of these channels by deep-draft vessels; and one along the water front to prevent the discharge into navigable waters of waste oil and sludge, rubbish, and waste resulting from loading opera- tions. The amounts of material reported to have been removed are constantly checked by the patrols. 2110 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 The patrol boat at the mouth of the harbor was used in enforcing regulations for a restricted area in the waters southeasterly from Sandy Hook, N. J., to permit the testing of war material without interruption from or damage to shipping. In addition to the above patrols, five launches were used in patrol- ling Staten Island Kills, Newark Bay, Raritan Bay, Passaic and Hackensack Rivers, Sheepshead Bay, Jamaica Bay, the north shore of Long Island, and along the shores of Westchester and Connecticut, and various shallow tributaries.

S. ARMY, 1938 ANACOSTIA PARK AND THE RECLAMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF ANACOSTIA RIVER AND FLATS FROM THE MOUTH OF THE RIVER TO THE DISTRICT LINE, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA District engineer: Maj. W. D. Luplow, Corps of Engineers. Location.-The Anacostia River enters the Potomac River at Wash- ington, D. C. Previous projects.-For the part of the project below the Anacostia Bridge, which is also a river and harbor improvement, see Annual Report of the Chief of Engineers for 1919, page 553, under heading "Existing project." For a description of the previous projects for the improvement extending upstream from the Anacostia Bridge see Annual Report of the Chief of Engineers for 1923, page 1990, under heading "Existing project." Existing project.-This provides for the improvement of the river and for the reclamation and development of the adjacent flats from the mouth of the river upstream to the District of Columbia boundary line, a distance of about 61/3 miles, to afford a river channel 15 feet deep in the section between Anacostia Bridge and Massachusetts Avenue, 9 feet deep thence to Benning Road. The section from the mouth upstream to the Anacostia Bridge was dredged to a depth of 20 feet under a river and harbor project. The dredged material is to be used for fills. The project includes a constant-level lake or lateral basin on the west side of the river, to be known as Lake Kingman, and a smaller lake on the east side of the stream. The normal surface elevation of the lakes is to be 2 feet above mean low tide, and they are to be dredged to a depth of 6 feet. A culvert or small bridge is to be constructed over Lake Kingman on the line of Benning Road, and a lock and bridge is to be built at the lower end of Lake Kingman. Influent and effluent gate-control works are to be provided to maintain a constant level in both lakes. Masonry sea walls on a riprap substructure are to be constructed along the tidal channel of the river to extend 6 feet above mean low water; the walls of the lakes are to extend 3 feet above mean low water or 1 foot above the level of the lake. A portion of the reclaimed tract is to be set aside for development by the Agricultural Department for a national arboretum. and bo- tanical garden. A strip of water-front land on the right bank of the river between the'Anacostia Bridge and the Pennsylvania Railroad freight bridge is to be set aside for commercial purposes. The bridges at Benning Road over the main channel are not to be altered. The estimated cost of the project is $4,125,000 (October 1923). To this must be added $150,000 appropriated by act approved July 3, 1930, for cost of land not covered in estimated cost of project because of subsequent adverse court decision as to United States ownership. The acts of Congress authorizing and defining the present plan of imrovement are as follows: ANACOSTIA PARK 2113 District of Columbia Appropriation Act- Documents or reports Mar. 2, 1911-------------------------------------------- 36 Stats. 1005 July 2, 1914--------------------------------------------38 Stats. 549 Mar. 3, 1917-------------------------------------------39 Stats. 1040 Mar. 3, 1915-------------------------------------------- 38 Stats. 923 Aug. 31, 1918---------------------------------------------40 Stats. 950 July 11, 1919----------------------------------------- 41 Stats. 99 June 5, 1920--------------------------------------------- 41 Stats. 954 Feb. 28, 1923 42 Stats. 1364 June 7, 1924_------------------------------ 43 Stats. 572 Mar. 3, 1925 Stats. 1246 443--------------------------------- May 10, 1926------------------------------------------- 44 Stats 448 Mar. 2, 1927-------------------------------------------- 44 Stats. 1328 Feb. 25, 1929---------------------- --- 45 Stats. 1295 July 3, 1930-------------------------------------- ------ 46 Stats. 986 Feb. 23, 1931-------------------------------- ------ 46 Stats. 1410 June 29, 1932------------------------------------------ 47 Stats. 376 June 14, 1935 ------------------------ ------------- 49 Stats. 369 June 23, 1936------------------------------------------- 49 Stats. 1883 June 29, 1937--------------------------------------------- 50 Stats. 385 The latest published map is found in Annual Report of Chief of Engineers, 1924, at page 1994. Local cooperation.-The funds for this project have been appropri- ated by the District of Columbia appropriation bills, which, through the fiscal year ended June 30, 1920, provided for half of the expense to be borne by the District of Columbia. From that date to June 30, 1924, the expense was borne 60 percent by the District of Columbia and 40 percent by the United States. Beginning July 1, 1924, the District of Columbia paid all required above the lump-sum appro- priated from United States revenues. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Construction of 3,571 linear feet of masonry sea wall was in progress from July 1 to Decem- ber 13, 1937, at a cost of $44,900.49. Supervision of the placing of 49,980 cubic yards of select material in dump fills was carried on throughout the year at a cost of $2,014.73. The U. S. derrick boat Benning, at intervals during the year, was engaged in dredging and placing 23,704 cubic yards of material behind the sea wall at a cost of $5,116.94. Miscellaneous surveys were handled during the year at a cost of $397.35. Negotiations for land purchase were in progress during the year at a cost of $148.77. The total cost for the year was $52,578.28, all applied to new work, and expenditures were $67,336.21. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The following table indicates the work accomplished and costs therefor on the project to June 30, 1938. The project is 84.6 percent completed.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF THE WASHINGTON AQUEDUCT District engineer: Maj. W. D. Luplow, Corps of Engineers. Location.-The intake for the water supply is on the Potomac River at Great Falls, Md., 9 miles west of Washington, D. C. The two filtration plants, all storage reservoirs, and other features are located in the District of Columbia. (See U. S. geological quad- rangle, Washington and vicinity.) The control of the system was vested in the Chief of Engineers by the act of March 2, 1867, and section 1800, Revised Statutes. Existing project.-The existing project provides for the construc- tion of various items of the system as authorized from time to time, and the care, maintenance, and operation of the system up to the point where the purified water is delivered to the District of Colum- bia distributing system and also for the care and maintenance of the Conduit Road, McMillan Park, and the meters on the various Government services. A description of the system and of previous projects for construc- tion and maintenance is printed at pages 2206-2208 and 2218-2220, Annual Report of the Chief of Engineers for 1930. Local cooperation.-Up to the end of June 30, 1916, the expenses of the Washington Aqueduct were paid one-half by the District of Columbia and one-half by the United States, since which time they have been paid wholly out of the revenues of the water department of the District of Columbia. For the construction item "Increasing water supply, District of Columbia," beginning with June 10, 1920, $25,000 was amropriated, wholly out of the revenues of the United States, $3,200,000 out of revenues payable, 60 percent by the District of Columbia and 40 percent by the United States, and of the balance after June 30, 1924, 101110-pt. 1-vol. 2-38----70 2116 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 the District of Columbia paid all required above lump sum appro- priated from United States revenues. Operations'and results during fiscal year.-An uninterrupted and adequate supply of purified water was furnished to the District of Columbia and Arlington County, Va. The average turbidity was reduced from 91 to 0.25 and the bacterial content from 2,268 to 2.4 per milliliter. The maximum daily consumption was 131,990,000 gallons and the average daily consumption was 101,135,000 gallons which, based on a population estimate of 627,000, makes the average per capita consumption in the District of Columbia 161 gallons per day. The average daily consumption of water in Government build- ings was 13,168,934 gallons, or approximately 13 percent of the total. The average daily amount of water furnished Arlington County, Va., was 2,170,000, the cost of which was reimbursed to the United States. Over 60,000 tubes of water from various points in the system were examined for bacterium colon, and after sterilization the average number of bacterium colon per 100 milliliters was found to be 0.005. Average alkalinity of the filtered water was 51, average pH value was 7.7, and average hardness was 80. The cost of water delivered to the water department for distribution to consumers was $43.83 per million gallons, as compared with $43.11 in 1937. The emergency repairs to Washington Aqueduct structures which were damaged by the floods of the Potomac River in March 1936 and April 1937 were completed at the close of the fiscal year 1938. These repairs consisted of a steel lining for a short section of the new con- duit, replacement of a large loose rock fill and masonry dike. and removal of debris from the power-plant tailrace. Two new 20-inch water mains were laid by contract and hired labor on Chain Bridge for Arlington County at a cost of $44,642.31, of which $44.000 has been reimbursed to date. The cost of operation and maintenance for the fiscal year was $498,- 507.38, while the total cost of all activities was $538,757.16.

The act provided for the organization of a board of seven members, of whom four members are officers of the Corps of En- gineers and three are selected from among the State agencies co- operating with the War Department. The Board has been designated the Beach Erosion Board. The act approved June 26, 1936 (Public, No. 834, 74th Cong.), increased the scope of the investigations and studies made by the Board. This law provides that it shall be the duty of the Secretary of War, through the Beach Erosion Board, "to make investigations with a view to determine the most suitable methods of beach protec- tion and restoration of beaches in different localities; to advise the States, counties, municipalities, or individuals of the appropriate locations for recreational facilities; and to publish from time to time such useful data and information concerning the protection of beaches as the Board may deem to be of value to the people of the United States." The law further provides that the Board in making "its report on any wbrk or project relating to shore protection shall, in addition to any other matters upon which it may be required to report, state its opinion as to (a) the advisability of adopting the project, (b) what Federal interest, if any, is involved in the proposed im- provement, and (c) what share of the expense, if any, shall be borne by the United States." The members of the Beach Erosion Board for the fiscal year 1938 were Col. Earl I. Brown, Corps of Engineers, senior member; Col. Elliott J. Dent, Corps of Engineers, until retired November 30, 1937; Col. Edmund L. Daley, Corps of Engineers; Lt. Col. Charles H. Cunningham, Corps of Engineers, until October 16, 1937; Lt. Col. Gordon R.

Y.; North Carolina State study; Palm Beach, Fla.; Hawks Nest Beach, Conn.; Chatham-Point Gammon, Mass.; Coronado Beach, Calif.; and Orange County (Newport Beach), Calif. Shore ProtectionBoard.-By authority of the Secretary of War, a board of officers of the Corps of Engineers, known as the Shore Pro- tection Board, was created by Special Orders, No. 72, paragraph 2, Office of the Chief of Engineers, September 18, 1930. The member- ship of the Board consists of the same officers as those assigned on the Beach Erosion Board, and the office personnel is the same for both boards. The River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, paragraph 5, re- quires that every report submitted to Congress in pursuance of any provision of law for preliminary examination and survey looking to the improvement of the entrance at the mouth of any river or at any inlet, in addition to other information which the Congress has directed shall be given, shall contain information concerning the con- figuration of the shore line and the probable effect thereon that may be expected to result from the improvement having particular refer- ence to erosion and/or accretion for a distance of not less than 10 miles on either side of the sand entrance. By direction of the Chief of Engineers, all investigations made in accordance with the above section of the River and Harbor Act are referred by the division engineers directly to the Shore Protection Board for a report. The following Federal studies were made by this Board: St. Augustine Inlet, Fla., October 11, 1937; Shark River Inlet, N. J., February 14, 1938; Absecon Inlet, N. J., March 9, 1938; Stony Point Dike, Cape Cod Canal, Mass., March 28, 1938; Bodega Bay, Calif., February 23, 1938.

S. Lake Survey Office, Detroit, Mich.] District engineer: Col. C. R. Pettis, Corps of Engineers. Surveys-Great Lakes.-The existing general project, stated in de- tail in the Annual Report for 1907, pages 844 to 850, comprises the following work: Ascertainment and charting of depths in all signifi- cant regions of the Great Lakes to a plane 30 feet below the adopted low-water datum of the open lakes and 25 feet below the corresponding datum in the channels of the connecting rivers, completion of triangu- lation and precise leveling needed to control the areas under survey, river-discharge measurements, investigations of lake levels, magnetic surveys in and near main vessel courses, and prompt examination of areas where obstructions to navigation have been reported. Surveys--New York State canals.-The Sundry Civil Act of March 4, 1911, provided that the survey be extended to include the lakes and other natural navigable waters of the New York State canals. The project contemplated revision and adjustment by field reconnaissance of all existing survey data pertaining thereto, supplemented by such additional topographic and hydrographic surveys as might be required for the publication of navigation charts of these waters. Field work under this project has been completed and the full set of charts has been published. Surveys--Lake Champlain.-The scope of operations was extended by the S u ndry Civil Act of June 23, 1913, to include Lake Champlain. Surveys of harbors and other important areas were commenced during the field season of 1928. This work was completed in 1933. Surveys-Boundary waters between the Lake of the Woods and Lake Superior.-The Sundry Civil Act of August 1, 1914, extended the work of the Lake Survey to include these waters. The project provides for the preparation of navigation charts of the American waters of the Lake of the Woods and Rainy Lake, complete with hydrography. Charts.-The project for chart preparation provides for general, coast, river, harbor, and locality charts of the waters above-mentioned 2122 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 in accordance with the needs of navigation and modern reproduction practice. The number of charts necessary is not fixed. Changing re- quirements of navigation may render new charts desirable or make old charts unnecessary. Bulletins.-The work pertaining to the Bulletin of the Survey of Northern and Northwestern Lakes consists in publishing annually in April a revised volume of coast and harbor descriptions, etc., and seven monthly supplements from May to November, giving changes and additions. Investigation of lake levels.-The present program of field work and office studies for essential hydraulic investigations of the Great Lakes, approved January 21, 1935, embraces current meter work for the revi- sion of flow equations as necessary in the connecting and outflow rivers; field determinations and office studies pertaining to effects of improvements, made or proposed, and of diversions at various locali- ties; compilations and studies relating to rainfall, run-off, evaporation, water temperatures, ice retardation, earth tilt, and other phenomena affecting the levels of the lakes; and the installation and operation of gages to maintain records of water-surface elevations and to adjust datum planes for river and harbor improvements. Estimated cost of the work.-The cost of maintenance work, which includes revision and reissue of charts, revisory surveys of harbors, and miscellaneous investigations of obstructions to navigation, obser- vation and study of lake levels, publication of bulletins, supplements, and notices to mariners, and other continuing necessary activities, is estimated at $210,000 for the fiscal year 1939. OPERATIONS AND RESULTS DURING THE YEAR Surveys.-Five parties were in the field on July 1, 1937, and opera- tions were continued until November 5. Four parties were organized in the spring of 1938. Field work was started on May 10 and has been continued to the end of the fiscal year. Localities and character of the work are as follows: Lake Superior: A revisory survey of Isle Royale was started. Re- visory surveys of the harbors at Grand Marais, Minn., Two Harbors, and Duluth-Superior have been made. Lake Michigan: Revisory surveys of all of the harbors on the south and west shores of the lake were made. Surveys for the revision of the depths in the shoal areas among the Beaver Islands have been started. Lake Huron: A revisory survey of the small-boat harbor at Oscoda was made. Lake Erie: Approaches to the harbors at Ashtabula, Conneaut, Erie, and Buffalo were swept with the wire sweep for possible obstructions. An uncharted rock shoal off Buffalo was found. Some sounding was done along the south shore of the lake to define the 24- and the 30-foot contours. St. Lawrence River: The revisory survey of the river was com- pleted from Chippewa Bay to Ogdensburg. Control surveys: Lines of first-order levels were completed from Mount Clemens to Windmill Point, from North Tonawanda to Olcott, and from Bay City to Saginaw. NORTHERN AND NORTHWESTERN LAKES 2123 Charts.-Duringthe year ending June 30, 1938, revised editions of 48 charts were prepared and issued. One new chart was published. The number of charts sold during the year by the Detroit office was 23,379, and by the Buffalo, New York City, and Albany offices, 3,752, the aggregate sales being 27,131. The proceeds of sales, amounting to $8,797.40, were deposited to the credit of the Treasurer of the United States. The Detroit office issued 7,146 charts for official use, and the Buffalo, New York City, and Albany offices 382, a total of 7,528. Bulletin, etc.-The bulletins contain description of coast lines, harbors, channels, menaces to navigation, and other important infor- mation supplementary to the charts, but of too voluminous a character to be incorporated thereon. They are revised annually, and a stock of the current bulletin and the supplements thereto is kept on hand for chart purchasers. Supplements Nos. 3 to 7, Bulletin No. 46, were issued between July and November 1937. Copy for Bulletin No. 47 was prepared during the winter and for- warded to the Public Printer in February. The edition was received in April. Supplements Nos. 1 and 2 were printed locally under con- tract and were issued in May and June 1938. In addition to the publications mentioned above, mimeographed notices of monthly stages of the Lakes were sent to newspapers, vessel interests, and Government officials in the Lakes region. Investigation of lake levels.-To record the fluctuating elevations of the water surfaces, gages are read on the Lakes and connecting rivers. At the end of the fiscal year 18 self-registering gages and 10 staff gages were being maintained. Discharge measurements were made on the St. Clair and the Detroit Rivers to check possible changes in regimen and to determine the dis- tribution of flow through the several channels after the completion of the 24-foot project and the construction of the compensating works. A study of rainfall, run-off, and evaporation in relation to lake stages was made. Miscellaneous computations as to the effect upon lake levels of proposed and completed projects for the improvement of navigation were made. The total cost during the year was $218,815.52, all for maintenance. The total expenditures during the year, after deducting receipts from sales, were $201,677.52. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The present project for surveys on the Great Lakes was formulated in 1907. The project work on New York State canals, on Lake Champlain, and on Lake of the Woods and Rainy Lake have been completed. Charts.-Lake survey charts are on sale at the Lake Survey office at Detroit; at the canal office at Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.; and at the United States Engineer offices in Buffalo, Albany, and New York City. Complete sample sets are on file at the United States Engineer offices at Duluth, Milwaukee, Chicago, and Cleveland, and the Office of the Chief of Engineers, Washington, D. C., affording additional facilities for examination and selection before placing orders. From 1882 to June 30, 1938, a total sum of $187,042.40 was derived from the sale of charts and deposited in the United States Treasury. In all, 1,084,066 of these charts have been sold and issued for actual service. Costs and expenditures under existing project.-It is impracticable to determine separately the costs for new work and for maintenance 2124 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 since the adoption of the existing project. The approximate com- bined cost, found by deducting expenditures of $3,973,897.31 under previous projects from the total cost of permanent work, is $4,377,- 141.87. The total expenditures under the existing project up to June 30, 1938, amount to $4,503,220.30.

S. ARMY, 1938 INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY WATERS THE INTERNATIONAL ST. CROIX RIVER BOARD OF CONTROL Constitution and duties.-The Board was organized in pursuance to conditions in the orders of the International Joint Commission ap- proving the maintenance and operation of the dam built by the St. Croix Water Power Co. and the Sprague Falls Manufacturing Co., Ltd., across the St. Croix River at Grand Falls in the State of Maine, and subsequent agreements reached between the Governments of the United States and the Dominion of Canada. The Board is charged with the duty of formulating and administer- ing rules under which the power plant and accessories are to be op- erated to prevent as nearly as possible a level of water at the dam higher than 203.5 (mean sea-level datum), and to secure to the users of water below Grand Falls the flow of water to which they are en- titled. The Board is also charged with the supervision of the opera- tion of all fishways on that portion of the St. Croix River that forms the international boundary. On October 2, 1934, the International Joint Commission issued an order approving the reconstruction of the dam, owned by Canadian Cottons, Ltd., extending across the St. Croix River from Milltown in the Province of New Brunswick, Canada, to Milltown in the State of Maine, United States of America, which contained the following conditions: 1. That the reconstructed dam be so operated as to ensure that the forebay levels rise to no higher elevation than that which has heretofore obtained in the operation of the dam now being replaced. 2. That during times of flood the sluiceways of the dam shall be sufficiently open to ensure passage of the river flow. 3. That the operation of the dam, insofar as is necessary to ensure the observ- ance of the provisions of this order, be under the supervision of the Inter- national St. Croix River Board of Control. The members of the Board are Mr. J. T. Johnston, controller, Do- minion Water & Power Bureau, for Canada, and Col. A. K. B. Lyman, Corps of Engineers, for the United States. Operationsduring the fiscal year.-Supervision was maintained and inspections made to ensure that the regulations of the International Joint Commission were carried out. Proposed operations.-Only such correspondence and inspections as may be necessary to carry out the regulations of the International Joint Commission. THE INTERNATIONAL LAKE CHAMPLAIN BOARD OF CONTROL Constitution and duties.-The Board was organized pursuant to the provisions of the orders, dated June 10, 1937, of the International Joint Commission, approving the construction and operation of cer- tain remedial works in the Richelieu River at Fryer's Island in the Province of Quebec, Dominion of Canada. The Board is charged with the responsibility of ensuring com- pliance with the provisions of the order of approval insofar as they relate to the regulation of the levels of Lake Champlain. INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY WATERS 2127 The members of the Board for the fiscal year 1938 were Mr. J. T. Johnston for Canada and Lt. Col. David McCoach, Jr., Corps of Engineers, for the United States. Operations during the fiscal year.-The Board kept in touch with the Canadian Department of Public Works concerning the plans for the Fryer's Island Control Dam and approved these plans subject to certain conditions provided in their recommendations. NIAGARA CONTROL BOARD The Niagara Control Board was constituted in August 1923 to meas- ure and supervise the diversion of waters from the Niagara River so that the level of Lake Erie and the flow of the stream shall not be affected, in accordance with the provisions of article V, treaty between the United States and Great Britain-Boundary Waters between the United States and Canada-May 13, 1910. Article V of the treaty limits the authorized daily diversion by Canada to 36,000 cubic feet per second and by the United States to 20,000 cubic feet per second. The Board consists of two members, one representing the Dominion of Canada and one representing the United States. During the past year the Canadian representative was Mr. J. T. Johnston, controller, Dominion Water Power Bureau, Department of Mines and Resources, Ottawa; the United States representative was Col. J. A. O'Connor, Corps of Engineers, until October 7, 1937, when Col. E. H. Marks, Corps of Engineers, was appointed to succeed him. Operations.-The Board received daily reports of operations of the six hydroelectric generating stations on the Niagara River, all of which divert water above the Falls. These reports, submitted in form pre- scribed by the Board, showing for each hour the units in operation, the power output of each station and quantities of water diverted, were checked by the Board. Monthly and annual summaries were pre- pared. Weekly inspections of all plants were made by representatives of the Board members, jointly and individually, to obtain independent watt- meter readings of power output and to assure that all provisions of article V were complied with. Records of water levels in the Niagara River above and below the Falls were obtained by means of four self-registering gages on the United States side. SPECIAL INTERNATIONAL NIAGARA BOARD In 1926 the Niagara Control Board was enlarged by the addition of two members-Dr. J. Horace McFarland being the additional United States member and Dr. Charles Camsell the additional Canadian mem- ber-for an extended investigation into the preservation of the scenic beauty of the Falls and analysis of all factors relative thereto. The enlarged board was constituted into a Special International Niagara Board for the purpose of carrying on this investigation. On Decem- ber 11, 1929, the Special International Niagara Board submitted its final report to the two Governments, with recommendations in regard to remedial works, additional diversions, etc. This report was printed as Senate Document No. 128, Seventy-first Congress, second session. 2128 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 On January 17, 1931, a large mass of rock forming a part of the crest of the American Falls collapsed and fell into the gorge. A sup- plementary report, which reviewed the basic findings of the Board as presented in its final report of December 11, 1929, and which discussed the relationship of the rock fall to these findings, was prepared and submitted on November 10, 1931. This supplementary report con- firmed the conclusions and recommendations made in the final report. This was the last investigation undertaken by the Special International Niagara Board. Col. E. H. Marks, Corps of Engineers, was appointed a member of the Special International Niagara Board, October 7, 1937, vice Col. J. A. O'Connor. BOARD OF CONTROL TO CONTROL THE OPERATION OF THE ST. LAWRENCE RIVER POWER COMPANY'S WORKS-IN THE ST. LAWRENCE RIVER NEAR MASSENA, N. Y. An order of the International Joint Commission issued after a hearing on the application of the St. Lawrence River Power Co. for permission to continue to maintain the submerged rock weir con- structed by the company in the south Sault Channel of the St. Law- rence River, authorized the maintenance of the weir and, among other things, provided for a board of engineers to pass upon and control the new and old works involved. The members of the Board for the fiscal year were Mr. J. T. John- ston, controller, Dominion Water Power Bureau, Department of Mines and Resources, for Canada, and Col. J. A. O'Connor, Corps of Engineers, until October 7, 1937, since then Col. E. H. Marks, Corps of Engineers for the United States. Operations during the fiscal year.-The Board kept in touch with conditions by means of inspections and with respect to the diversion by means of monthly reports of the power company, showing the amount of water diverted and power-house performance from day to day. LAKE SUPERIOR BOARD OF CONTROL The Board is charged with the supervision of the operations of all compensating works and all power canals and accessories with a view to maintaining the level of Lake Superior between elevations of 602.1 and 603 6 above mean tide at New York. The members of the Board for the fiscal year 1938, were Mr. J. T. Johnston for Canada and Col. V. L. Peterson, Corps of Engineers, for the United States until March 24, 1938, and Col. C. R. Pettis, Corps of Engineers, for the United States, since that date. Operationsduring the fiscal year.-The Board kept in touch during the year with conditions obtaining to the diversion, through repre- sentatives of the United States and Canada on the ground, and by means of regular and systematic reports of the water levels in Lake Superior and in the channels above and below the Sault locks, and in Lake Huron. Records of discharge through the rapids, navigation canals, and power plants at the Sault were also systematically reported to the Board. .INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY WATERS 2129 LAKE OF THE WOODS, MINN. Location and description.-The Lake of the Woods is an irregu- larly shaped body of water 1,485 square miles in area, lying partly in northwestern Minnesota and partly in eastern Manitoba and western Ontario, Canada. The southerly portion of the lake is an expanse of relatively shallow open water about 30 miles wide, bordered on the United States side in Minnesota by low and generally swampy shores. Original condition.-The lake remained in its natural condition until 1888, when the construction of the Rollerway Dam at one of its outlets near Kenora, Ontario, had the effect of raising the natural level of the lake an average of about 3 feet, which amount was reduced to about 1.5 feet between 1893 and 1898. Under the authority of the government of Ontario the Norman Dam was built in the Wiinipeg River, about 1 mile below the Rollerway Dam, between 1893 and 1895. It was placed in operation in 1898 and has had the effect of raising the natural high-water level of the lake an average of about 21/4 feet during the years from 1898 to date. Existing project.-The convention between the United States and Great Britain proclaimed July 17, 1925, provides for the regulation of the level of the Lake of the Woods in order to secure to the in- habitants of the United States and Canada the most advantageous use of the waters thereof, and of the waters flowing into and from the lake on each side of the boundary between the two countries. The convention also provides for the establishment and maintenance of a Canadian Lake of the Woods Control Board to regulate and control the outflow of the waters of the lake, and for the establishment and maintenance of an International Lake of the Woods Control Board, composed of two engineers, one representing the United States and the other representing Canada, to whose approval the rate of total discharge shall be subject whenever the elevation rises above elevation 1,061 or falls below elevation 1,056, sea-level datum. The members of the International Board during the fiscal year were Maj. A. B. Jones, Corps of Engineers, to March 16, 1938, and Lt. Col. X. H. Price, Corps of Engineers, since that date, for the United States, and Mr. J. T. Johnston for the Dominion of Canada. Detailed operations prescribed by the convention, by an act of Con- gress approved May 22, 1926, as amended by an act approved April 18, 1928, and by acts of Congress approved August 26, 1937, and March 5, 1938, are : (a) For the regulation of the lake in accordance with articler 1, 4, and 5 of the treaty when the level is outside the limits specified abovt. (b) For the acquisition by purchase or condemnation of flowage easements lup to elevation 1,064, sea-level datum, upon all lands in the Uinited States bordering on the Lake of the Woods, on the Warroad River, and on Rainy River, all in the State of Minnesota. (c) For various protective works and measures as specified in article 8 of the convention. (d) For investigation and report on all claims for damages caused to the in- habitants of the United States by fluctuation of the levels of the Lake of tn e Woods due to artificial obstructions in the outlets of said lake prior to the acquisition of flowage easements. (e) For payment of claims included in report submitted under (d). 2130 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1938 Operationsand results during fiscal year.-The purchase of flowage easements was completed. Payment for flowage easements on In- dian lands was made in accordance with act of Congress approved April 13, 1938. The total number of past-damage claims filed was 495, of which awards were authorized in 305 cases. Preliminary work was done in connection with the settlement of these cases, and actual payment made in 228 cases. The lake levels were controlled in cooperation with the other mem- ber of the International Lake of the Woods Control Board, consti- tuted for the purpose. Contact was maintained with Canadian offi- cials, data gathered, and studies made for further action to be taken when. required. During the fiscal year the costs were $7,306.05 and the expendi- tures, $7,315.30 for purchase of flowage easements. The costs were $66,753.31 for payment of past-damage claims, and the expenditures $62,308.20. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The procurement of flowage ease- ments and construction of protective works and measures have been completed. A total of 228 past-damage claims has been paid, leaving 77 re- maining to be settled. The total costs and expenditures for purchase of flowage easements and for protective works and measures were $743,767.93. The total cost for payment of past-damage claims was $66,753.31, and the expenditures $62,308.20. Proposed operations.-Work will be continued and efforts made to locate and pay amounts due the remaining past-damage claimants or their legal representatives.
