TIE OBSTRUCTION IN THE CHANNEL.-A bill has
been introduced in Council regulating the dredg-
ing of docks, and stating that the mud must mere
after be thrown on the Hog Island side OF the
ch lnnel. A report from the Harbor Master
which was laid before Council says that In conse-
quence Of the mud boing dumped in the channel
| bank has boen formed that will interfere with
the shipping. 1t may be possible that the con-
tnued use Of the channel as place OF deposit will
eventually fill it up and form mud bank; but
at present there is nothing to fear-the action ol
the water carrying tho mud to the SEQ; and we
learn from an old merchant that the channel ID
perfectly clear.
