" The price paid the contractor was 18 cts. per cu.yd., amounting 

 to $56,941.74. Soon after the completion of this work this dredge 

 was towed (in the fall of 1899) to Long Island Sound, via the \\V1- 

 land Canal and St. Lawrence River. After working here a short 

 time, the dredge was transferred to the improvement of Bay Ridge 

 and Red Hook Channels, New York Harbor, for which work Hughes 

 Bros. & Bangs are the contractors."
