years, will, it is promised be finished some
time in 1897 Powerful dredging and sue

removing the sand from the bottom of the

one Of gigantic proportions
The appropriation made by congress for
lighting the channel is $500 200. The plans
for lighting the new pathway TO the sea
are conceived upon broad lines. A light
house IS to be erected on Staten Island
at cost of 10000 A powerful light will
be installed here which will be clearly
visible to ships in any part of the chan

saving Of time as well ms the increased
safety Of the new channel are expected to
result in the complete abandonment of the
present channel.
An important change will also be mad.
