SMALL BOAT HARBOR
(Continued from Page 1)

tContinued from Page 1)
 Hauling and dumping started on October 29th and up to November 9th, 703 truckioads had been driven from the quarry. Of thes.,, 250 truckloads were dumped on the road between Monashka Bay and the harbor site for repair pur- poses.
 Tice pointed out that the eight trucks being used have been aver aging 50 truck loads a day with eight or nine yards of rocks per load.
 Dredging started Monday Nov ember { and to date 17,4O0 yards of fill have been sucked from the basin and channeled through pipes t0 the sites of two outer break waters.
 Working 24 hours a day, the dredge has travelled 630 feet in the two weeks of operation. The barge moves by two long pivots, called 'spudS'r which dig into the sea bottom and walk" the dredge along, swinging the front of the d'-sdge in a 150 feet arc as it moves forward.
 Of the suction pipe which pro-
 rudes in front of the dredge, Tyce issued warming. Last Saturday some children were coming into the harbor site in skiffs and had to be sent away. If they had got closer to the dredge and pipa, they would have been sucked down"
 Scheduled completion date for tf.e construction is September I, 1858, Tyce said that dredging will continue until completed, unaffect- ed by bad weather. It is not known yet if weather conditions will pre- vent breakwater construction dur ing the winter.
 Captain of the dredge, Art Mulvar, desigr.ad it himself. He has worked on every harbor con- struction in Alaska Superinten- dent of the job, Roger Morris, chief engineer, Floyd Barney and Mulvar have all worked in Kodiak preyiously-once in 1889 on con struction at Womens Bay and in 1853 for the Navy.
