on the north side of the bar, and land on the ballast quay

W. Man,

The Kam said there had been • little mishap to the
dredger, but only one commas to new machinery. The
mishap rendered • delay cat a week or ten days necessary;
but now the machine was working quite up to the expecta-
tions formed of it.
Mr. Gnome suggested that there should be a tank
placed in the barge for holding water, and also • compart-
ment for coal.
Mr. W ALLIS: I think we ought to have gone into that
before we purchase I it.
)Ir. Gluon It is no rise going back. We must look
forward.
Kr. Waaus: These things ought to have been put Into
the sontract If it had been built in Weymouth under
our supervision we should have been £lOO in pocket, and
not £lOO out.
The Mayon: That is • matter of opinion.
The Harbour-master was called in, and said it could be
done.
