IMPROVEMENT OF KENNEBEc RIvER-From
documents accompanying the Presidents Mes
sage, we learn that a project for improving the
channel Of this river between the Arsenal
wharf at Augusta and Lovejoy's Narrows,
feast side Swan lsland.) is likely to be carried
into effect BY U. IS. Engineers Cor the work
cOmmenced) during the coming season. The
cost is estimated al from $l2 900 TO SIT 900
In 1915 or 1916. the citizens Of Augusta ex-
pended 9, 500 in attempting 10 dredge suitable
channel between that city and Shepard's wharf
HallOwell but their excavations through sew
eral shoals have been partially reflled. II is
proposed by the u S. Engineer to increase the
width and depth Of these excavations-to make
another just below Shepard's wharf-and an
other, lower down, through the 'Hussy ShoaI.
These, together with the removal Of several
small ends Of bars, constitute all the improve
ments considered necessary above Gardiner
Between Gardiner and Lovejoy's narrows, the
only distractions discovered by the Engineer
are the sands below Nahumkeag island, having
over them at present feet at low water. Il
IS proposed to excavate space through them
100 feet wide and l-2 deep. The Engineer
thinks that dug-out channel through the sew
e.al bars may be estimated TO endure for seven
or ten years Gardner Journal.
