Hull For New Dredge Boat Launched In Kankakee.

Another dredge boat is being built by the McWilliams Co. on the Kankakee river Mid the hull was launched Thursday of last week. It was constructed at the C. A W. V. crossing of the river and when manned with its machinery, which includes a dipper of 3% yards capacity, will work up the river to the Hebron grade and thence follow thfe* survey south and west to the end of the improvement, about two miles west of the Monon railroad bridge at Water Valley. The other dredge, which has been working westward from Dunn's bridge, will operate only to the Hebron grade, where it will be dismantled. By this method the Hebron grade bridge will not have to be taken out. It was necessary to use two large dredges in order to complete the improvement within the speciled time. Another dredge with a dipper of I V% yards capacity, was started Tuesday on one of the laterals. The main improvement will not be completed for seven or eight months yet.
