(icncrnl : I have the honor to submit
the following rcport upon the survey of
Norwalk harbor, i‘onnccticut.‘made in
pursuance of the river and harbor act of
Au st i7. Hill-t. .
horwnlk harbor, or river, is a tidal
estuary, with a narrow cintnucl cxtcud-
ing about 3 miles north from Long Is-
land Sound to Norwaik. Abovc Nor-
wulk thc river is a small fresh water
South Norwulk is on thc west
bank of the rivcr. il._. miles below Nor-
wnlk. At South Norwaik the rivcr is
crossml by tWo bridges. the lower one a
highway bridge and thc other (about 450
fect above) the bridge of the New York.
. Now Haivcn and Hartford Railroad.

cut for the improvemcnt of this harbor.
But littlc work wasdonc.:nnl in H7?
thc low-waterdcptli toSonth Norwnlk
was .3 feet and to Norwnlk about 1 foot.
In 1071 a snrvcyof Ibo harbor was
ordcrcd by ('illlfll'i‘hs and was made. and
a project for impmvcmcnt by the United
Stutcs was adopted and work bcgun un-
di-r an appropriation made in lb7'3. Tin-

obtain a channel S fcct tlccp and tilt) fcct
widc up to South Norwnlk. and illt'llf't'
to Norwnlk lifcct ilccpund from 00 to
l00 foot With. A large part of thc total
cxpcndituw was for rcdrcdging to main-
tain tlic channel during tbc mistress of
the work.
atoll snwificnlly to rcimwc tlic tints
known as Fcn'y's Point and to improvc
the sharp bond at Kcyscr's island. A
contract for this Work is now in forcc.
under which Fcrry's Point will bc rc-
movcd. and, if thc nvailablc funds pcr-
mit. the widening of the bond at Kcy-
scr's island will be bcgim.
The sun'cyorvlcrwl by tbc river and
harbor act of I801 was prcccdcd by a
preliminary cxamination. also made un-
dci‘ authority of (‘oiigu-ss. In thc re-
port upon the preliminary examination
(Annual Repmt of thc (‘bicf of Engin-
ecrs'i’or i803, p. 002) it id stated that-—
It is ms-cmtry. in the first placc, that
the prcscnt channel be maintained. and
it is also desirable that certain sharp
bends be cut off, so as to give greater
case to navigation. as follows:
At the entrance tothc harbor. south
of Kcyscr's Point. where the channcl is
very tortuous.
Abovc this poim to the railroad bridge
it is desirable that the channel be
straightened and widmicd.
In addition to the above. it. appcnrs
also that an incrcascd dcpth of channel
to South Norwalk is,llcccssary to tho
conunercc of that city. Adoptli of 10
feet at mean low watcr is all that caubc
obtained at rcasoiiablccosh-as the en-
fl'tllu't! to the harbor is over cxtcnsivc
flats with but that available depth.

The “Wash" Delayed Five Hours.

ofOur Holy Saviour will be held on five hours. not reaching here until 5:45.
originally proposed width of I00 fcct
above South Norwnlk was reduced to
from 00 to 100 feet on account of tho
cxywnsc of maintaining the grcatcr
width. For the same reason no incrcnsc
in depth or width for that part of the
channel is now nicommcndml. The
channel of 6 fcct depth at mean low
water, with from 60, to 100 feet width.
should, however. bc maintaincd.
I, The cost of widening to 150nm the
channel up to the milmad ‘bridgc at
South Norwalk. and making it 10 feet
deep at mcuu low water. and of widen:
ing the twu bonds at the liurbor‘cntruucc
to make them from 250 to 300 feet wide,
is cstimntwi at $62,000.
Thc maintenance of such a channel
and of the present channel above South

age. about $2.0m1wr ycur. -
