Remarks.

The dredge Charleston was
engaged in dredging from Aug.
9 to Aug. 24, 1910, and left Sept.
1, 1910, for Charleston, S. C.
The cost of repairs and extraordi-
nary repairs was due to pre-
paring the dredge for her trip to
Charleston and would probably
have been but very little higher
for the entire year if she had
continued dredging. This, to-
gether with the outstanding lia-
bilities from the previous year,
was the cause of the high cost of
dredging as shown on this re-
port.
