THE SUN

The principal points where dredging will have to
be- done to get twenty-four foot depth at Danes
Point and Trout creek. While two or three other
places in the channel will need attention. yet the
real work of getting twentyour feet will be at those
mentioned
matter of much satisfaction to the Government
engineers experimenting the river improvement is
that where the dredging has been done there is no
indication of the channel refilling. When after all
is done to cut the channel to the desired depth some
dredging will probably be necessary from time to
time that uniformity may be maintained, yet judg-
ing from the present condition of those portions of
the channel dug eighteen months ago the labor of
keeping the course clear will be light.
The same favorable condition of work done is re-
ported of the etties at the mouth of the river While
these ettes have not been completed to full height
to prevent overflow caused by the high tide yet there
is sufficient water on the bartwenty-fve feet at low
tide. 1t is stated that no Government work has
proved more satisfactory than these etties and so
well have they been built, that although two years
since completion no repairs have been needed
The most difficult part Of the work of improve
ment was ended with the completion Of the twenty.

everything possible that would tend to hasten the

After the completion of the twenty -four foot chan

water front of Jacksonville will be necessary in order
to accommodate the increased sea traffic While the
course from the sea will be opened in satisfactory
manner, yet the need for additional harbor room
