REPORT OF OPERATIONS AT OAK ORCHARD HARBOR, NEW YORK. The opening of the fiscal year found operations in progress at this harbor, the work being carried on by hired labor and the purchase of materials in the open market. During the summer and fall of 1870 five cribs, with superstructure, were added to the east pier, and four to the west pier, their total length being 270 feet; 150 feet of the superstructure near the middle of the west pier, and the same amount on the east pier, was renewed. In September, 1870, proposals were asked for stone for crib filling, but were all rejected for informality. Work for the season was closed November 30, 1870. During the winter 421 cords of stone were purchased at the rate of $4 per cord, delivered on the banks of the creek near the piers; 33,289 feet of pine plank was also purchased. In April, 1871, proposals were invited for iron, stone, and labor for the piers, and for dredging a channel between them. On May 12 the pierwork was awarded to Mr. H. J. Mowry, of Syracuse, and the dredging to Mr. E. H. French, of Fulton. Operations for this season were renewed June 12, 1871, and by the close of the fiscal year two more cribs were placed in position and sunk, and the superstructure completed on 40 lineal feet of the west pier. During the present working season it is proposed to carry out the piers to the full extent of the project, by adding six cribs, 180 feet, to the west pier, and five cribs, 150 feet, to the east pier. This will carry them out to a depth of 12 feet at ordinary low water. It is also proposed to dredge a channel between the piers 150 feet wide and 12 feet deep at mean low water.
