HAVANA HARBOR IMPROVEMENTS 



The plans of the Ports Board call for 

 a commission of four engineers, all of 

 them Cubans, who will map out the har- 

 bor accurately. When this has been done 

 and the details completed, work will be 

 started at once. The first dredging will 

 be done in front of the Paula wharf where 

 a space of five hundred meters b}- two 

 hundred meters will be dredged to a depth 

 of eleven meters. 



Three suction dredges will be put to 

 dredging the Guanabocoa, ^larimelent and 

 Atares marshes. The available size of the 

 harbor will be increased more than thirt^- 



per cent by the work to be done. Within 

 a month work will begin on the prepara- 

 tion of plans for the other ports of the 

 island. 



The sum of Sl.300,000 designed for the 

 improvement of the other island ports, 

 aside from Santiago de Cuba, is said now 

 by some of the Cuban engineers to be in- 

 adequate, and it is probable that a larger 

 sum will have to be expended. 



[Members of the Ports Board do not 

 think that the removal of the wrecks in 

 the harbor will be at all a difficult task, as 

 most of them have become very much de- 

 cayed with the passage of time and will 

 be readilv demolished with dynamite.
