IN consequence Of the sinking Of the

house Board and Brainerd Bros, the
owners Of the dredge, regarding the
affair.
Major Raymond sent his first assist
ant. Thomas NJ. Farrall, to the scene
to make a report to him as to how the
wreck lies and as to what means shall
be taken to have 1t raised. The dredge,
4. rs slated. lies directly in the channel,
and is. therefore. an obstruction to
navigation. The sinking Of the dredge
is particularly unfortunate occurrence,
as II was after a great deal Of work
that the Exchange officials had it
brought here to begin work at this
time.

requested that the buoys be placed 70

This method will not have to be taken
