u. S. ENGINEERS
WORKING ON PLANS
FOR MOLINE HARBOR

1t will probably cost 100000 to
dredge the Moline harbor. This is
but a rough estimate made off
hand by Colonel Harry Burgess OF
the U. S engineers office, at the
time the project was first advanced
by Mayor Skinner. The definite
cost, as nearly as it can be reck-
Oned by experts after careful sur
yey, will be made known in a few
days, however
Engineers are now working on
the plans and reckoning the esti-
mated cost. This will be submitted
to Mayor Skinner. who will take
the matter up with the war de-
partment at Washington.
Moline harbor was dredged in
1891. but since that time the de-
pletion of navigation has caused
the river bottom to fill up with
silt.
