DIVISION "
DREDGING FOR CHANNEL.
After the work in Divisions l. III, III shall have
been done, III may become Necessary to dredge the
space between the extension Of the south and the
proOnRation OF the line of north pier to obtain a
depth OF channel OF IA to Is feet below the low stage
This will be estimated in cubic yards, and the
price FOR dredging and dlmping the same out of
the way in deep water to b. bid for. Our surveys
show about IL 900 cubic yards of this de posit
requiring removal

BREAKWATER TO IMPROVE THE EXISTING HARBOR
AND TO AFFORD REFUGE.
This is designed to be 900 feet long to stand In
Q straight line which the average depth of water
below low stage is feet to consist of cribs 30
long placed end TO end, made Of square timbers
The sides Of the cribs to rise from the bottom with
batter of 81 l00ths, so the cribs shall be Is feet
wide at the low water surface and thence the faces
OF the uperstructure to rise vertically feet above
said surface The widths of the cribs at bottom
will be from 81 to IS feet according TO the depths
which they stand. the whole work 10 be filled
With rubble stones TO bottom of top timbers and
planked over.
The cribs eighty in number, will require for their
construction
IL $40 side cross and brace tmbers, IKE, of
lengths from IL to IS feet, amounting to i55 923
