The contract calls for a l6-foot chan.
mel across the bay from Brazos Santa
20 TO Point Isabel, and 500 by 500
foot turning basin near the railroad
wharves mt the port. In connection with
the same project. the outer channel will
be credgcd to an ls-foot depth
The Jacobson bid for the entire pro-
ject totals approximately 100000 for
the removal Of more than 100000 cubic
yards of material from the channel and
turning basin. From six to eight
months may be required for the work,
although the engineers expect to COM
plete the project in a shorter time than
that stipulated in the contract. With
the completion Of dredging operations.
m ocean transport route will be opened
from the Rio Grande Valley and north
eastern Mexican territory to all parts Of

enter the port OF Point Isabel, imme-
diately after the completion of dredg-
inE operations. This concern il one Of
the most active that operates in the
Gulf Of Mexico.
The fact that the dredges will not ar
rive here until July /, will mean little
delay IN the completion of the work. ac-
cording to ID. A. O'Brien, who conferred
with Captain Jacobson Mt Galveston
about week ago. After making a sur
vcy Of the work to Re done here. Cap
tain Jacobson decided that his dredges
would have to be reequipped for the
work. and the steam engines are now
beirg replaced with oil engines. the lack
Of m abundant supply Of fresh water
OF the lower coast making this change
essential Some delay was experienced
in securing a few Of the parts. and mt
the time Mr.. O'Bren conferred with
him he could not state with any con-
siderable degree Of accuracy when
dredging operations would start.
The time limit for the work to COM
mence under the contract was June G..
but IL il understood that in view of the
fact that conditions on this section Of
the coast were so radically different
from those obtaining in other sections
where dredging has been in progress
that the government engineers have
permitted the re-equipping Of the
dredges TO count as actual work on the
project.
Captain Jacobson also stated that
while IL would have been possible for
the dredges to start actual work on the
project on schedule time and to have
dredgcd Mt least the monthly minimum
fixed by the contract with the govern
mcnt. the re-equipp:ng of the dredges
will make it possible TO handle the work
with far greater speed. and that there
will be no actual loss of time in the
completion Of the dredging. All the
equipment used in requirements is Of
the moss modern type. highly approved
BY the engineers. and will greatly in
crease the efficiency Of the dredges.
The dredge on the inner channel will
have capacity of 10000 cubic yards
per month.
1T was a great disappointment to me
when first learned that actual dredg-
ing would not start before June L. ID.
A. O'OBrien. who returned Wednesday
from Galveston and Austin stated, "bus
after my conversation with Captain
jacobson fully realized that 1t would
be to the benefit OF all concerned to
have the dredges re-equipped. The Val
ley is not 50 much interested in when
the dredges will start work rs when
they will complete the work and give
us an opportunity to develop the Val
ley's port. If delay in re-equipping the
dredges means more speed in the work
and an earlier opening Of the Valleys
harbor, there is no one in the Valley
who would not be in favor Of having
the start delayed Captain Jacobson has
been engaged in dredging work on the
Gulf coast for many years and the
government engineers. for whom he has
completed several contracts. have the
utmost confidence in his ability and
