THE HARBOR JETTIES (THE WORK IS PROGRESSING ; Piling Will be Completed in Jaly And Stone Shipments Resumed Next Month About sixteen hundred feet of piling • have^ been driven on the Cape May side 1 of the inlet and there ;is about seven , hundred feet to go. It is thought that i all the piling on both sides of the inlet ■ will be driven by July. This piling is to hold the stone ofj which the jetties forming ths entrance »o the harbor are | to we built. The barges are brought ' alongside the jetties and the stone dumped into the cage formed by the double row of piling, by means of derricks. The stone so fsr brought ' here has been dumped at the outer . - end of the entrance where no piling 1 have been driven, the water being to , deep for this.
