Is not the Herald too fast in condemning the Dredge boat “Geo. W. Jones,” before its value has been trusted by trail? Before its machinery and appendages have been completed, until which time -and not then, till after trial – no fair judgement of the boat’s capacities can be made up? We should think this advance condemnation of a structure which, in all probability, will prove efficient in removing in removing the obstruction in our harbor, unmanly and unjust towards those under whose direction the Boat was built.
