nothing Of the fact that should a record

were raised. The question of how this
should be done has been puzzllng the
brains Of many engineers for months,
tentative solutions being confronted
with unanswerable objections. Now,
however, a solution meeting every OBJ
lection has been devised by a New

for Goedhart brothers of Dusseldorf,
Germany, and, their bid having been
accepted by the Galveston grade rails
ing commission, 1t is stated that work
upon the project will be begun within

The great difficulty from the IN

get the material for filling In and how
to distribute 1t cheaply enough to allow
a profit. IL was at first suggested to
utilize self loading hopper dredges to
carry sand to distributing stations On
the sea front or bay front, but the OBJ

other suggestions were advanced and
dismissed. Then Mr., Bates hit upon
the idea Of digging a distributing canal
parallel to and Just inside Of the sea

but offered some decided advantages.
In the first place, the material for
filling would be taken from the cham

deepening them to the benefit OF ship
ping, an Improvement worth, according
to Mr.. Bates, at least $4,000 Then,
again, the material |excayated from the
canal could be used to ~re-enforce the
sea wall from the land side, the outer
beach would not ba disturbed. the filler
could be distributed without an intrl-
