32 The International Contract Co. Seattle, Wash., has about completed the new King county ferry boat Washing- ton, which is to ply between Seattle and Kirkland, and the launching was sched- uled for Jan. 21, the occasion being made a gala event for the residents of both terminals. failed to be a complete success as the boat stuck when half way down the ways and so far has resisted all efforts to move it. The new ferry is 160 ft. long and 40 ft. beam, with ample ac- commodations for passengers as well as for horses and wagons, automobiles and the like. It is planned to have the ferry in operation in April. DREDGING AT CAPE CHARLES CITY. Bids for dredging harbor Cape Charles City, Va., opened by Maj. Joseph E.
