DREDGING FOR CHANNEL.
After the work in Divisions l. III III shall have
space between the extension OF the south aud the
prolongation Of the line Of north pier to obtain
depth of channel Of ii to 10 below the low stage
This will be estimated In cubic yards, and the
price for dredging and dumping the same out of
the way In deep water to BE- bid for. Our surveys
now show about 1900 cubic yards of this deposit
