NINE MONTHS ON THE JOB.
Estimate of Time to Complete Dredg-
ing in the Eastern Branch.

Satisfactory progress is being made
by the Maryland Dredging and Con-
tracting Company dredge Potomac on
the Eastern branch improvements, but
it is figured she will be nine months
or longer on the work. The dredge
started operations March % and from
that time until April Is she had dug
and pumped ashore about 10000 cubic
yards of material. Using these figures
as a basis, the big dredge will dig and
pump ashore between 10000 and 1O0.-
900 cubic yards of material each month.
The excavated material is being
pumped on the Anacostia flats to raise
them above the high water level. The
contract with the owners of the Poto-
mac calls for the digging of 100000 Gu
bio yards of material east of the Ana
costa bridge and 100000 cubic yards
between the Anacostia and Pennsylva-
mia Avenue bridges. The dredge Dale
carlia, belonging to the United States
engineer service, also is working in the
Anacostia improvement project and in
the month of March she dug and
pumped ashore $4,000 cubic yards of
mud.
The building of the stone seawall
along the Anacostia side of the Eastern
branch, which was interrupted by the
winter cold, has been resumed with a
large force of men and rapid progress
is being made. Gaps in the wall built
last year are being filed in and con-
siderable progress has been made on
new work.
