Th work to -be properly conducted should b completed within two yeara. and It la estimated that an appropria- tloa of tl.COO.ooO will be required to finish It. One million dollars could be profitably expended during- the year ISO and the balance during the yea 10T. To ret the beat reeulta the wort ahould be a "continuing contract" ana the entire work authorised. ; j Ooatiauoas Work JTeoeesary. .' As you re aware, the rock for the Jetty ia carried out on pus treauing, which necessarily is maintained In ad , vanes of the Jetty proper and which takes time to fill in, in sufficient amounts to bring- the rock -above the .' surface of the water and form the Jetty proper. As the t rest) Ins; arts oeyonu . the Influence of the freah water oa the river the action of the teredo becomes pronounced and the piling- from thla cause alone Is destroyed tn from one to : two years' time, thus In effect. If the work be not steadily continued, throwing . '. away the large aums Invested in this ' part of the work. - In addition to thla, ; '. the atorms of winter must be taken into , account.- A striking example or tne , damaa-e that attend the- failure to pro . vide funds to maintain the work was the effect of the storm In October. 10 , when about one mils -of treetllng wss destroyed, a moat serious loss from : every aspect. ' This work is thus sun J-ct to peculiar disadvantages and is ','-. necessarily located in position sub- . Ject to disasters which only continued v work csn successfully guard agalnat and prevent waste, auuidupllcation. !. Tramway la surer. - ' ',' " Thrre Is about It. 000 feet of tramway : exposed tothls haxard by delay of a value ef about 1 114.000, besides which . the redrtving of piles through the rocks ' of the partially completed Jetty is more " expensive than sinking them originally ,. In the aanda. The plajit on hand is of -' about the value of 1185,000, and one - year of enforced Idleness will result In ' great tins' through deterioration. -The .-damages resulting from. the delay' con sequetn.on stopping the work and com- ; ntenclng would be considerable; the v scour of the currents would undermine ' It more or less, thus necessitating the . dumping of considerable rock to make it sufficiently stable to carry tne trar , flc. . The dlrertalosg from' these causes ' Is hard to estimate, but It would hard , ly be lesa than $100,600 without con- alderlng the Incidental but certain loss V snd damage - resulting to sll the pro - duoere of this section by the delay. The furnishing of the rock for the r Jetty Is In Itself a lsrge undertaking. requiring a heavy investment, and It can hardly be expected that any con . tractor would invest the large aums necessary to deliver the rock in large I" quantities and In a, short time when so v much uncertainty exists as to the con- 'tfnnsac of the -work.. .. L For the. foregoing-reasons Jt appears that from - sny standpoint, either of economy or expediency, it is of para mount importance that thla work, should be continued and completed In, the shortest possible . time. From the standpoint of relief to great country, ef furnishing a safe and deep entrance not only for merchandise, but for naval vessels aa well, no argument Is neces sary to one- as familiar with, ths situa tion, as, you are. - . ; vVoaaao Beoora, ' ' 1 ' .

It can thus easily be de termined Orr the present bests the time that it will take to complete this work unless it Is chsnged to a continuing contract Furthermore. It ia hard for as to understand why each year, on a work of such magnitude and Imports nee to so many people and to such a vast extent of territory, the -work is threatened with discontinuance and so much effort and time must be put forth to obtain sppeopristlons to continue it. We, of course, understand ths enormous pressure you are under from sll sides snd everywhere, but this Is a great work, has been . approved snd author ised, snd as we shall show we have and are doing our full duty to help our selves.

It takes time and money to build boats snd develop traffic Jn ths face of the mighty opposition of a great railway company and the favors of various kinds they can grant, but - that the Portage railway will tend to lower rates cannot be doubted. At best, however.. It is but a temporary expedient requiring at least two additional handlings besides ths in creased cast.
