Since the incorporation of the company a contract was en- tered into with a firm of dredge builders for the supply of a booket dredging plant. The died- Aor is now nearing completion, and is expected to commec operations almost immediatly, Although the plant was ordered and slipped some considerable time ago, the directors regret to say that its erection on the com- pany's property was not proceeded with, owing to the company be- ing unable to meet an instalment of ita cost, which became payable to the contractors on shipment of the plant, and this was due to certain large sharaboldere having Tha failed to pay their aalle.
