all vessels not drawing more than sixteen
feet to the former, and all deeper draft to
the latter.
In this way rush of vessels at particular
seasons will be avoided at either pass, and
greater care can be observed in selecting
times and tides for crossing.
For the past few mouths this course has
been partially followed, the local interests
at Southwest Pass drawing to that place
nearly all vessels Of the lighter drafts,
while the representatives, in New Orleans,
OF the commercial interests have insisted on
having their deep-draft vessels taken to
Pascal Outre.
The result has been very satisfactory.
Both dredgebOats were repaired during
the wear, and at its close both were in good
working order and employed on the bar.
The McAlester will need but slight repair
this fall to put her in condition to work
throughout the year.
The Essay ns Will need greater repairs,
and next year must be thoroughly over
hauled.
The end, dock, steam launch, and barge
are in good order.
Surveys we're continued as heretofore,
but the field of survey greatly extended so
as to cover the bars at Pascal Outre, South
Pass and Southwest Pass several miles
seward of their crests, and the heads Of
the passes.
The work will be continued as heretofore
Both dredges will be kept at Pass-a-
POutre during the summer with but one
crew.
In October the McAlester will be repaired
and put on duty at the bar. The EssayOns
will then be brought up, repaired and re-
tanned in port until the river rises. After
ward, both dredges will be kept at the bar
Should it prove advisable. one boat will
be sent occasionally to Southwest Pass to
keep the channel there in fair condition for
the passage of light draft vessels.
The work is not susceptible Of permanent
completion.
