TO RESUME RIVER DREDGING.
The Dewey. Returns to Georgetown
to Work on Channel,

In preparation for resuming dredging
operations on the Georgetown channel
above the Highway bridge the dredge
Dewey. belonging to the Sanford &
Brooks Co. of Baltimore. has been
taken back to. the. digging grounds
after lying under repairs in the harbor
for about six weeks.
AS soon as the pipe lines between the
dredge and the shore can be connected
up, and that will be some time this
week, dredging operations will be re-
sumed.
1t ia said that about 10000 cubic
yards Of material remain to be dug to
put twenty-one feet of water in the
channel to Georgetown, and that
about six weeks steady work will be
required to complete the work.
BY the time the dredging operations
are completed coal shipping from
Georgetown to New England ports will
be starting. For several years past
difficulty has been had in bringing the
loaded barges out. Even on high water
they touched bottom at a point abreast
of the old 18th street sewer. When the
Dewey completes work the loaded
barges will be able to come out from
Georgetown at any time.

in Favor of Emn1ove

The public printer is empowered to
grant annual leave of thirty working

government printing office. Controller
George E. Downey of the Treasury SO
decides on the appeal of F. C. Roberts,

instead of the twenty-six days Gus

The allowance of such leave, as in
the case of annual leave in all admin

of the public printer and determined
by the press of work and the possibil

ploye for that period. The decision
logically follows former ruling in
