ed. The managers Of the new COM

slip Is being heightened about twenty-five
feet, and will be deepened so that one of
the boats Of the line can lie in it, and the
other berthing places are to be dredged
in order to give plenty of water for the
steamers, no matter how low the water
is made by the northwest wind.
The pier is to be rebuilt, additional ia
