TOWAGE OF WORLD'S LARGEST FLOATING DOCK.

THE CANAL TRIP.

London, April 28,

In six weeks the world's biggest floating dock will leave the Tyne on a four months' voyage of 8,600 miles to Singapore. When this huge floating workshop, which was built in ten months at the Wallsend yard of Mesere. Swan, Hunter & Wigham Richardson, reaches its destination it will represent magnificent achievement, The task of towing it will be almost (equal to that of construction.

a

For the purpose of towing the dock will be split into two parts, made up as follows: The three. centre sections, which contain the heaviest machinery, will be fitted with a bulkheed at each end, mak- ing one craft. The two ends will then be fitted to each other, mak-i ing another craft. Ahead of each section two huge tuga will pull while behind another · two will guide.

When the two portions arrive at the Suez Canal that waterway will be closed to all traffic for the week- end while the dock, with a margin of about three feet at either side, la navigated through. When the dock arrives at Singapore and is put together it will require a depth of seventy feet of water, and will| be capable of holding easily ships of the size of the "Mauretania,” which; when in dock, would have thirty feet to spare at bow and stern,

The dock has a lifting capacity of 50,000 tons. It is 855 feet long, 172 feet wide, and 75 feet deep. The pumping plant can deal with 30,000 tons of water an hour.- British Wireless Service.

local taxation muddle." Agricul- ture, coal, cotton, iron and steel, engineering and shipbuilding were vital means by which the wages of the vast majority of wage- carners and breadwinners were provided. Those industries were in difficulties at the present time. He did not propose to give favour to any particular industry but if any industry showed that its na- tural activities were being cur- tailed, removal of its burden of taxation was not a favour but a long delayed and necessary act of justice. The local taxation of de- pressed manufacturing indus- tries, which he had mentioned, would be reduced in October, 1929, of average by three-quarters and that of agricultural producers would be abolished entirely. The products of heavy industries could only be carried by railways and railways would be relieved from local taxation, so that they could help heavy industries by lower charges.

Mr. Churchill recognised the sacrifice which owners of motor vehicles would be called upon to make in paying a tax on imported petrol; which would contribute to local taxation relief. He mention- ed that the tax on petrol has also another object. This was to en- courage acientific attention of oil from coal in England. If that were done he said it would renew vast economic advantages which this country had derived in the nineteenth century from the posi tion of its marvellous coalfields.— British Wireless Service.
