Dredge No. 2. is expected to be oper ating before the end of March and two others should commence digging gravel by May—if certain equipment arrives to schedule. Commencement dates of the other four dredges are an unknown quan tity at present.
Dredges 1 and 2 are functioning with the help of improvised equipment and the Company stres’ses the fact that until this is replaced, there is always a danger of stoppages.
