To Dredge Naval Sins.
Soundings are being made in the
slips between the naval wharves for
data in the preparation of speeifca-
tions for contracts for dredging out
the slips to uniform depth of thirty
five feet, equaling the extreme depth
of the harbor at low tide. The slips
have not been dredged for several
years and have filed up several feet
from harbor accretions, coal and other
debris. The cruiser Pennsylvania,
after being loaded with COAL had lit
tie difficulty in steaming out of her
slip. as she rested on a hummock of
mud Just amidships.
The wharves are all to be repaired,
work already being in progress on
wharf No. 2 These wharves have
seen hard service since their construc-
tion many years ago, and have been
sadly in need of repairs for the last
two years. The stringers have been
worn or broken off, and the asphalt is
broken out, and the planking beneath
has rotted so that in some places it is
dangerous for teaming. The Navy De
partment will repair the wharves to
such an extent that they will be capa-
Bile of doing service until the docks
and wharves are completed at Pearl
Harbor. The repair work has reached
such a stage on wharf No. 1, that the
Crook was sent to the Channel wharf
yesterday.
