TIE CENTRAL's NEW wHARvEs.
The Deepening of the Ogeechee Ca
nal a Great Work

The Deepening of the Ogeechee Ca
nal a Great Work.
The Central railroad has completed the
work of deepening the OGeeohee canal II
was finished within five minutes OF the time
allowed the company by the city In which
to complete the canal before enforcing the
ordinance prohibiting the upturning OF the
soil.
Work began April IT. but owing to vari-
Gus delays and interferenceS only about ten
days of steady work we're put in, during
which time between 400 and 500 men were
employed. An immense amount Of work
was accomplished in this space of time
The canal was deepened from 1000 feet
south Of Bay street to its mouth at the river,
a total distance of 1000 feet, to a depth of
six feet, the previous average depth having
been only three feet.
To increase the depth Of canal 2, 900 feet
long by 10 feet wide three feet throughout
its whole area was no small work. Rail-
road tracks were run along the bottom Of
the canal, from which the water had been
drawn, and also along the banks on each
side. The mud and earth were thrown into
fiat cars, and hauled out of the canal aud
thrown up on the banks on each side. Sew
eral carloads Of lime were used as a disin-
fectant on the banks.
A wharf sixty feet wide has been built
along the banks OF the canal for 1000 feet
south of Bay street, joining the wharf run
ming from Bay to River street, giving a
wharf Of ? 600 feet, the total length Of the
canal. A tramway road will be run from
the rosin yards to the wharf and alongside
the canal, making the transfer of naval
stores a comparatively easy matter.
All the rosin shipments Of the Central
railroad, the pig iron shipments and large
portion of the cotton will be handled from
this wharf. Lighters will be run on the canal
TO the ships at the Ocean Steamship Com
pany's wharves. and great saving will be
made in the immense amount of labor now
employed in trucking cotton, rosin and pig
iron from the cars to the vessels.
