THE DREDGING INDUSTRY.
At the Warden's Court, held at Ahaura on tho 27ih instant, several special dredging claims were granted, and applications made for time to commence operations. Warden Hawkins in granting the delay, strongly urg,cd the necessity of having the claims thoroughly tested before any order for a dredge was given, so as to ascertain not only tho depth of the bottom generally over the c'aim, but also the difficulties to bo dealt with in the way of trees, twigs and boulders, and that the dredge should bo thoroughly adapted in dosig.', and of ample power to cope with the conditions of the claim. The Warden also pointed cut that for directors to do otherwise would bo grieviously to waste the money of the shareholders, while tho damage to the industry and enterprise on the Coast, from any ineiheiency of dredges, would be incalculable. The Warden said that so long as the Companies could satisfy him that they $ were diligently pursuing this course, he should not hesitate to extend where necessary the time for tho construction of dredges.
