A contract was made in December, 1870, to remove a portion of the rock now obstructing the entrance to the harbor; work to commence on the 1st of May, 1871. The contractor has failed to carry out his contract, and the work has been suspended.

Marquette Harbor, Lake Superior, Michigan.-During the year there has been added to the breakwater 200 feet, built to water-surface, and 2 of the 300 feet reported in the last annual report as without superstracture has been completed. It is proposed during the ensuing sea to have the superstructure of the remaining 100 feet completed, and to extend the breakwater 650 feet sub and superstructure, giving, by June 30, 1873, a complete breakwater 1,850 feet in length, extending to feet of water. The effect of this structure on the harbor is now marked, and the beneficial influence of each addition is experienced at ouce. The original estimate for this breakwater was $385,129 58, and the length designed, 2,050 feet; $190,000 has been appropriated, which will complete 1,850 feet, leaving only 200 feet to complete the work as intended. Owing to the increasing importance of Marquette Harbor and the necessity of its better protection, it is recommended that the work be continued to the amount of the original estimate.

Green Bay Harbor, Wisconsin.-The work at this harbor during the year has consisted in continuing the dredging south of Grassy Island so as to give a width of 200 feet, and straightening and deepening the area heretofore dredged; in revetting the channel through Grassy Island on the west side; cutting a channel 2,000 feet in length north of that island; extending the revetment on the east side 85 feet, and rip-rapping 450 feet on the east and 280 feet on the west side of the island, to a height of 18 inches above the water surface. It is proposed to dredge a channel 200 feet wide and 14 feet deep south of Grassy Island as far as the mouth of Fox River, and to widen the cut already made on the west side of the island. The plan of improvement adopted has proved successful, and has secured a safe and commodious harbor at this point, which is of great benefit to the general commerce of the lakes.
