SPEEDED UP
BY DREDCE
jacobson Says First Month
Is Largely Experimental,
Equipment Now Ready for
Fast Work

Increased speed in the dredging work
at Point Isabel from now on was as
sured by Captain Jacobson, owner Of the
dredge boat Velasco. who was In
Brownsville yesterday on business.
Captain Jacobson declared that the
first months work was OF nece ssity
largely experimental, as the Velasco
had been so completely overhauled, and
was to all effect a new boat. There
were adjustments to be made son ac-
count Of the type Of soil encountered.
and many experime nts to be made to
determine the most satisfactory mechan-
ical arrangements.
According to Captain Jacobson, the
experimental stage Ia now past, and the
Velasco is "tunedr to the point of
highest efficiency. From now on, bar
ring accidents, he expects the work to
progress smoothly and rapidly.
During the month of September we
excavated between $4,000 and 10000 Gu
bic yards Of MATERIAL" said Captain
Jacobson. land counting actual work
ing hours, we were not dredging more
than two weeks during the month. A
new motor had to be installed, changes
made IN our electrical equipment and
other adjustments made, which though
vexatious at the time will hasten the
completion Of the work in the end
The dredge which is now working on
the turning basin. IN encountering u
tough, hard. clay, which Is very slow
digging, according 10 the captain. IL is
thought however, that as soon as work
is begun on the channels, sand will be
encountered which will be much easier
to dredge. Captain Jacobson estimated
that the turning basin will be complet-
ed in two months time. Dredging Of the
channel will be much faster, he says,
as a shorter line can be used, and
change in position viii be less frequent.
Completion Of the entire project will
require eight months. liz nothing. inter-
feres, according to Captain jacobson.

Fires cost the citizens Of Texas hast
year nearly fifteen million dollars and
from this fact il can be seen that there
