Barden through whose efforts to secure ap proval of the channel dredging as a WPA project were successful, said in New Bern this week, that he had been informed that dredging would begin next Monday. That however may depend largely on whether the C. Walker Hodges dredge Reliance, which will do the work, completes a job down at Hatteras.
