av means OF hydraulic dredging. The
work of excavation viii commence al the
deep water end OF the east Waterway, al
a depth OF twsnty-six feet below low
tide. and will DE extended southwark as
II progresses.
Before the work of actual excavation
can begin. IL viii be necessary TO make
an accurate survey of the area 10 be Tiled
and the tine Of the east waterway, the
engineers OF the waterway company and
Of the state land commission acting In
