the Staten Island shore from Perth
Amboy to Seguine Point, where it
was separated from deep water In
the eastern part of the bay by a
choal 1.5 miles broad, with a min
imum depth of 14.5 feet.
THE original and existing pro-

existing project has been completed,
and the work now contemplated Is

Operations during the fiscal year
consisted in dredging under contract

The amount of material dredged
during the year was 7S,543 cubic
