PROGRESS IS NOTED.
Dredge Lifts 325, 900 Cubic Yards of
Mud From River Channel.

To date the dredge Dewey, employed
IN deepening the Georgetown channel
from the Highway bridge to George
town, has dug and dumped ashore
$4,000 of the $4,000 cubic yards of
material she is under contract to dig
in order to give the channel a depth of
twenty-one feet at mean low water.
The immense quantity Of liquid mud
that has heen forced ashore on the river
flats in the past three or four months
since the Dewey started digging oper-
ations has reclaimed and raised above
high water level many acres Of low
lands lying under the hills of Airing
ton and attached mainly to the ex-
perimental farm conducted by the Agri-
cultural Department and belonging to
the government.
Where land abutting on that private
~ owned is raised by material pumped
on it from the Dewey, it is said the
government wlIl lay claim to the made
ground, as it did in the case at Alexan-
dria when the cove between Jones
point and the shipyard was filled in the
course of channel-deepening work.
This case is in the courts, and no de-
cision has been given.f

Regulation of Utilities.

Mr. Syme described the efforts being
made by the public utilities commits
sion properly to regulate the activities
of local public service corporations
and stated that the time is not far
distant when a just capitalization will
have been established for each COM
pany. If the companies do not show
a disposition to submit 70 honest regu-
lation they will invite the alternative
of municipal ownership, he predicted.
The corporation counsel outlined the
beneficial results that have followed
the recent adoption of the automobile
parking regulation and the prohibi-
ton against the use of glaring head
lights on vehicles. Many protests were
made against these restrictions, he
said, but results already have
demonstrated that they were wisely
adopted in the interest of the public
The meeting was practically devoid
of business features, the only resolu-
ton of Importance adopted being one
requesting the District authorities to
arrange to have all dead animals on
the streets screened by a suitable COW
ering until they can be removed. The
association also voted to request the
Commissioners for an explanation as
to the delay in rebuilding the Western
High School.
