Four ) cars later a plan was adopted lor deepening tlie river so as to accommodate vessels drawing seven feet at neap lido. Steam dredging followed, until at length a depth of from eighteen to twenty-one icet at neap tides had been obtained, and the length of wharf a; e on both sides of the river, required for the trade of Glasgow, measures more than three miles. Dredging is still continued, and 800.000 tons of excavation arc annually removed from the bed of the river. Last year the expenditure was about £50,000, and the Income has risen to about £200,000.’ ”
