ii Shannon Co government contrac
tors will beein on Monday the work of
constructing the inshore jetty This jetty
will be about 8000 feet in length ana the
contractors expect to carry it rapidly to
completion Tne object of the J3tty is
twofold First it ia intended to confine
the outgoing tide between the jetty wells
In order to Increase the pconnng power
and second to prevent the incoming tide
from washing 07er the sandy fiats at the
east end and tilling the channel It is
expected that the building ot this Inshore
jetty will also stop the beach erosion
now in progress from Eighth to Four
teenth streets and result In filling a large
portion of the east end flits to above
tide water Should this ba the case
the courts will probably bo called
upon to decide to whom tnls new made
land belongs It Is understood that the
the city company will claim everything
east of First street also tht certain par
ties have claims to > that locality It U
turther understood that both tho con
tractors and tho government will put in
claims to such land as may be created by
the completion ot the south jettyso there
s a prospect ahead for some very prettv
litigation An island is lormed In th
gull some two and one halt to three ml
from tha city and south ot the pre
jetty which may In time become a sa
orlous suburban residence for weal
