- COCO GROVE, INC. The dredges at Coco Grove for October recovered a total of P247,861.61 from 332,135 cubic yards of gravel handled. The dredge "Mary Angus" handled 167,210 cubic yards of gravel from which Pl 7 4,494.85 was produced. This represents an increase of approximately P61,600 over the previous month. The total area dredged was 105,215 Sl'lllare feet to an average depth of 42. 9 feet. The dredge "Anne Petronella" recovered P73,366.76 from 164,925 cubic yards of gravel. This dredge covered 157,990 square feet to an average depth of 28.2 feet. During October, the dredge "Mary Angus" operated adjacent to the Paracale Lighthouse, with satisfactory results, while the dredge "Anne Petronella" is now in the dredge pond, where she operated at the beginning of 1938. The "Anne Petronella" dredged pay gravel during the first of the month, after which she spent most of the balance of the month dredging for flotation only. The mechanical performance of both dredges during October was satisfactory. Maintenance work on both dredges is constantly being kept up, and both are in satisfactory condition. The cutter suction dredge "Rotterdam" continued building up the protecting sandbar. This sandbar has now been built up to such an extent that it furnishes an adequate protection for the floating equipment operating in the vicinity of the seawall and farther out towards the lighthouse. Weather conditions were, in general, favorable. The northeast monsoon is gradually increasing in force, and the bay is occasionally rough.
