REPORT ON COOS BAY.
(Continued from page 3)
original project, and In completing
the 9,600 foot north jetty under the
present project. The jetty tram
way and wharf have been entirely
destroyed by teredo and wave action
and the enrockment has been more
or less beaten down by the seas.
Since the completion of the north
jetty a straight channel through
tho ocean bar has been maintained,
having ordinarily a least depth of
from 17 to 22 feet at mean low
tide. ,
Tho controlling depth In tho bar
channel, as determined by survey
now In progress, Is about 20 feet
at mean lower low tide. Between
tho bar and the town of Empire Is
a sandy shoal on which tho least
channel depth 1b 14 feet at mean
lower low tide. Above Day City
. there Is about 50 miles of available
navigation for boats of light draft.
Tho mean rlso and fall of tho tide
Is 4.8 feet.
The available funds are being
withheld until such timo as the
necessity for their expenditure is
Bhown, as tho depth contemplated
by the project have been obtained
and fairly well maintained.
The act of March 2, 1907, author
ized tho construction of a areago
lor use on tho coast waters of Or
gon and Washington, and as this
dredge will soon bo available it is
recommended that the secretary of
-war be authorized to apply so much
of the available balance as may bo
necessary to the work of dredging
the Inner harbor.
The river and harbor act of March
2, 1907, also authorized an exami
nation and survey of tho bay and
bar entrance, this survey was In
progress at tho end of tho fiscal
year.
No work was done during tho
fiscal year 1907, aside from watch
ing and caring for the plant and
works, and planting about 57 acres
of Holland grass roots on the north
spit.
Improvement of Entrance to Coos
Hay nnd Harbor, Oregon.
For Information concerning tho
approved project for the Improve
ment of Coos Bay and harbor, Ore
gon, attention is invited to the sum
mary of this report.
Operations During the Fiscal Tear
1007.
No active operations were carried
on during tho past fiscal year other
than the planting during March
and April of about 57 acres of the
north spit with Holland grass
(arunda arenaria.) The grass roots
for this planting wero obtained from
the adjacent plantations of former
years.
The government plant, wmch is
nearly worn out, was cared for dur
ing the year by a watchman. Tho
entire jetty tramway and wharf
have been entirely destroyed by
teredo and decay. Tho jetty em
bankment has been beaten down
but very slightly by tho sea during
tho past year.
The river nnd harbor act of
March 2, 1907, provided for an ex
amination of Coos Bay and bar.
Tho preliminary examination has
been made and a survey Is now In
progress under an allotment of
$45,000 for that purpose. It is
proposed to extend tho survey over
several obstructing shoals between
tho bar entrnnco and tho town of
Marshfleld, with a view of deter
mining tho limits of future work
with tho dredge which is to be built
"with funds provided by tho act of
March 2, 19 07.
An examination during Juno
over tho bar channol at mean low
'vtido is about 20 feet nnd only about
14 feet can bo carried over tho
shoals between tho cntranco and
tho town of Marshfleld.
