take about three months time
The work of the dredger at its pres
ent position is comparatively easy
to what it will be when the shallow
portions OF the stream are met with.
There Is enough water now to put
down the anchors, but at a position
200 feet ahead, during low tide,
nothing but mud flats are in sight.
At present 246S feet of pipe run
ming from the dredge to a position
near the Chinese theater is used to
convey the mud. This is the largest
stretch of piping that has ever been
brought into use by the dredger. a

lime kiln out to Summers Island
and now almost completely sub
merged is right in the way of the
dredger and the portion interfering
