Cost of Dredging.

On a general average, taking delays and stoppages into account, the dredge lifts 30,000 tons a month, and the hoppers discharge the material two miles out at sea. The cost, including page 5 repairs and all charges, being 7½d per ton, equal to 11¼d per cubic yard, which compares favorably with dredging done in other places in similar material.
