CONCRETE WORK
TO BEGIN SOON

cubic yards of concrete Will be dumped
daily into the false crib work and that
work win 60 ahead rapidly. President
w. f. Dillingham; of the Hawaiian
Dredging Company states that the
quarry will be efficient and will be of
q capacity to handle all material as fast
as needed at the drydock site.
Slightly Behind on Dredging.
By new arrangement of payments
for dredging work and computing on
material dredged out from the bar and
channel of the Pearl Harbor work, the
dredging company is slightly behind in
its work. Up to within few weeks
the company was somewhat ahead of
the planned out work but the new ar
rangement has caused the company to
get behind. However, this is due to
the fact, largely, that certain amount
of work was being forced on the dry
dock site and this is going on rapidly
and the dredgers will conclude all their
work there, cutting the basin down TO
the required fifty-fve feet of depth
This will release two dredgers, and
in a short time the new scraper dredge
will be ready TO be added to the battery
of diggers. The turbine dredge scow
may reach Honolulu from Seattle in
day or two in tow of the tug Her
cules. The dredge will be taken across
Honolulu harbor to where the Cali
fornia was launched and the machinery
which is now nearly all here will be
installed by Mr.. Hickman, the builders
expert who arrived here week ago
from the Coast.
scraper Dredqe NAV Be Best
The dredging company has taken out
/ 100000 cubic yards OF material from
the bar and inner sections, or particu-
larly speaking, the channel. OF this
100000 represents the material taken
from the bar alone. There are 100000
more yards to be taken from the bar,
which represents one of the most diff.
heult pieces of work. The dredgers en-
counter various kinds of material there
and while all the machines which have
been at work at that section have made
good, still there is certain kind OF
material encountered which none Of
them handle satisfactorily. The scraper
dredger which has Just been completed
will soon be put to work on the bar
and it is believed this will easily dis
lodge the cemented sand and rock
which the elamshell and hydraulic
dredgers have failed to break away.
The seraper dredger, however will be an
experiment, bat the company believes
it win do the work.
Turbines Vast Work Planned.
On the inside or channel and harbor
sections, the company has yet 100000
yards to remove. The company has a
year and three months to do this work.
With the release of Che dredgers work
