THE HARBoR BIDS.
The bids for deepening the harbor
were opened yesterday morning. These
were for the dredging of sections one
and three. Section l is outside the
channel, from the mid channel buoy to
1900 feet to seward. The dredging Is
to be to a depth of thirty-four feet
which is sufficient to accommodate
the largest steamers in the world. The
tenders were for three different meth
DDS of disposing of the material taken
from the bottom of the harbor. The
first was for the deposit of the mate
rial on Quarantine Island, the second
within the sea-wall and third for TAX
ing it out to sea. The latter method
was found to be the cheapest. The
bids for section l are as follows:
Cotton Brothers: Placing on Quaran-
tine Island, Sligo per cubic yard; inside
sea- wall, s1.45 per cubic yard; dumping
at sea, s1.15 per cubic yard.

inside sea-wall, s1.35; at sea, IS cents.
Atlantic Gulf and Pacific Co..:
Dumping on Quarantine Island, $1.4O;

The Hawaiian Dredging Co.'S bid in
figures is $4,000 for either carrying the
material to Quarantine Island or
dumping it inside the sea-wall. For
taking 1t out to sea the bid is $4,000,
which bid will probably be accepted
by Supt. Holloway. The Atlantic Gulf
and Pacific Co.'S bid for carrying the
dredged material to sea was $59,45O.
The cost of dredging section three
will be approximately $4,000. This is
the section at the Eva end of the har-
