Tho Dredgo Oregon todny began
Dumping dredglngs over Into tho low

will got together, tho wholo section
there bolow tho hill will bo tilled In
ns there Is plenty of dirt In the pro
ject tho dredgo Is working on to do
It besides filling North Front street
ns fur ns It is bulk-bonded. This
will probably bo tho lust chnnco to
hnvo that section filled.
Soino of thu property owners hnvo
beou holding out against this fill on
account of having to rnlso their build
ings or sncrlflco their gnrdohs. How
ever, unless tho fill Is mndo, tho
property will bo left In n mud-hole.
Today, tho dredgo Is filling In tho
Nelson property nnd nlthough tho
now building which Fred Nelson Is
erecting Is bolow tho grado, ho plans
to rnlso It.
Tho Oregon Is working flno nnd Is
throwing n grent volume of dredg

thord is no plnco whoro dredglngs

At tho present rato, tho cut along
tho mouth of Coos River will bo com

ject for widening tho chnnnol there.
rino coos Dny Port Commission to

to defray tho expense of tho Improve

Tho Port Commission I? endeavor

nenr what would be tho end of El
rod nvonuo If It ran through to tho

It Is likely that this can bo arranged.
It will probnbly bo tho latter pnrt
of tho winter boforo tho Oregon gets

This will give thorn opportunity to
