to put the following forward for your consideration:-
1 The dimensions of the dock then completed will be
1200 ft. long by 120 ft. width of entrance, with 40 ft. of
water on the sill, which will make it the largest dry dook in
the world. Closely adjacent to this dock are situated our
shipbuilding yards, machine shops and other necessary estab-
lishments which are at present exceedingly well equipped with
the most modern machinery for shipbuilding and ship repairing.

purpose, and are at present levelling the whole of the site
which will be occupied by the Deck and Pump House at a cost
of about $3,000,000. This work will be completed in about
twelve months time.

portions, and all other necessary equipment, will be about
