The army engineers, Day said, have reconsidered and concluded that it will not be necessary to give the cable the added protection at first thought necessary. Filling in of the gap will complete the seawall foundation, which stretches along the shore of Fort Hamilton and Dyker Beach Park.

While it is unlikely" that any of the islands around here will begin to play see-saw, a phenomenon somewhat similar except for the fact that it will take three months instead of three seconds is about to happen right here in the Narrows off Bay Ridge. The sea bed off' 0l's Head Park is due for a shift.

But this time nature will not be responsible. Man has taken upon himself the task of taking 1,171,000 cubic yards of sand from an area 1,300 feet wide by 6,800 feet long and dumping it over the irregular, pitted terrain of Dyker Beach Park. The United States Government wants an anchorage channel about 2,500 feet off shore and paralleling approximately the stretch of land from 92d St. to Bay Ridge Ave. A year ago it announced its plans, a few months ago it let the contract for the work to the National Dredging Company.

Early Monday morning the company's dredge boat Lake Fithian tramped its way over' from Jamaica Bay and anchored off 86th St. Work has begun. rA crew of 80, engineers, mechanics, seamen, are at work flting together the parte of the flexible, pipe, 36 inches in diameter, which will be used to suck the sand from the Narows bed. For about 2.500 feat, the pipe will travel from the boat straight to a point on shore at 86th St. There it will turn down along the shore line past Fort Hamilton, onto Dylrar Beach Park.

It will take about 10 days to assemble the pipe line. Thereafter for about three months daily the pumps on the dredge boat will force the sand through and spew it forth hour after hour, all over the park the development of which has for years been retarded by the lack of flll-in material. Part of the sand will also be used to fill in the land laside the sea wall now being contructed along Shore Drive. The city and the U. 8.

Government and the contractors have struck a bargain. The Park Department will gel the sand gratis. The contractors will not have to pay for flumping privileges. The Government will pay 16 cent for every cubic yard pumped out, and insist only that none of the sand be permitted to drop into existing channels. Trre anchorage channel when completed must have a depth of 40 feet, be 6,800 feet long and 1.300 feet wide.

And when the Job Is completed, Commissioner Browne will have the makings. It will not be long that Dyker Beach will continue to be called a development. The Park Commissioner can then hurry his plans for a park. 9TH REPUBLICAN UN PUN CHRISTMAS PHUT! FOR 100 BOYS AND GIRLS NOT $150!
