Occoquan Creek Now Accessible.

The work of dredging through the sand
bar at the mouth of Occoquan creek by
the hydraulic dredge Gray Eagle has
been completed. The d,edge has been
taken to the Mattaponi river. Va, to en-
gage in improvement work there under
contract with the United States Engi-
neer's office.
Seven feet of water or over can now be
had in Occoquan at all stages of the tide.
Wood and lumber vessels that go up the
creek to load will have no difficulty in
going in and out. Before the dredging
work was done whenever the tides were
made low by long continued northwest
wind even light draft vessels had trouble
in navigating the creek.
The work on Occoquan was started
about two years ago. The dredge first
placed on the work was found too light
and had to be withdrawn. The Gray
Eagle was taken to Occoquan and in
about two months several hundred thou
sand cubic yards OF material was recover
ed from the channel and pumped upon
adjacent lowlands.
