A. CONSIGNMENT OF

The subsidy on docks of the second class, as will be the one constructed in the pre MESSRS. SHANKS & CO., LTD. sent instance, is 41 per cent. on a maxi- mum of $2,250,000 for a period of thirty

The five years, or 8112,500 annually. subsidy on fires class docks is 44 per cent on a maximum of 85,500,000 for the same length of time or $247,300 annually. The Government therefore by deciding on the Coughlan plan saves an annual sum of $135,000, which represents at five per cent a capital investment of $3,254,000.

The dry dock will be large enough to ABOVE care for the largest vessel now plying the Pacifie. It will be 110 feet wide by 780 feet long, of sufficient size to accommodate any ship capable of passing through the Panama Canal. It will cost $3,750,000. Work has already commenced and with

the employment of 500 men, the number E. WARREN & Co., Ltd., being gradually increased to 1,500, the construction of this great undertaking is expected to prove a boon to those out of employment.

The dry dock will be modern in every respect. It will all a much needed want and will place Vancouver in a position to compete as a shipping part with Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco. It is anticipated that the Japanese steam- ship companies will find this an addi- tional inducement to make Vancouver one of their regular points of call.

There were three applications, under consideration, one from the Coughlan company one from the Wallace Ship yards, Limited, and one from the firm of Davidson and Cameron. The engineers of the public works department recom..... mended the acceptance of Coughland's application, and the Cabinet assented, wo their recommendation after careful con- sideration of the whole question:

EMPRESS LINES LARGEST NOW, While technically not of first class dimensions the dock will be considerably larger than the standard size of a second class dock An important consideration which carried weight with the Cabinet was that the dock will be able to accommodate the largest vessels plying between -Van- couver and the Orient. The two largest at the present time are the Empress of Asia and the Empress of Ryssin, both 590 feet long and 68 feet wide. The graving dock also possesses the attractive feature of being extended, if necessary, to 1,700 fect. With a width of 110 feet it could then handle the greatest of the world's tonnage for many years to come. The width of the dock's entrance is the same as that at the locks of the Panama Canal Besides a drydock marine railway and machine shops will be erected."

The CHE marine railway which will be completed in a year will take vessels weighing 3,300 tons. The graving dock will not be finish- ed for another two years......

ALAND ALREADY CLEARED.

The dock and machine shops will be Jocated on some vacant property adjoint ing the main business section of Van couver and it will be built on the tide water of Burrard Inlet. Temporary cffices have already been erected and the lund has been cleared.

Mr. L. A Rostein, representative of the Coughlan Company, had been in Ottawa since the application was first made laat fall and constantly supplied the department with all the information required. The members of the Federal Farliament for Vancouver, H. H. Sterons and 8. J. Crowe, played a prominent part in urging the constructing of a dock to meet the growing requirements of Van- couver harbour. Hon. N. W. Rowell, acting minister of public works, and pre sident of the privy council, was inclined to shelve the dock proposal, but had a change of beart when the importance of the matter was impressed upon him by Vancouver's members of Parliament

"ANOTHER DOCK CONSIDERED.

The Government is also considering erecting a first class graving dock at Esquimalt. It would cost in the neigh bourhood of 85,500,000. I would be 1,150 feet long, 125 feet wide or the entrance, and 38 feet in depth. It would be divid into two sections 650 feet and 500 feet respectively, each part to be closed by ship steel caison. For the purpose of emptying the dock three centrifugal pumps, each with a pumping capacity of 60,000. gallons per minute, will be install. ed. The pungs will be run by electrip power generated by the dock power plant. The walls of the dock will be concrete with granite copings. The keel and bilge blocks will rest on granite strips extend ing the full length of the dock. Granite will be used for the caisson stops

A basin, 560 feet long and 200 feet wide," will be provided on the south side of the Esquimalt drydock for the repairing of Vessels while afloat and to permit the un- loading of cargos before the ship enters the graying busin. The structure around the basin will be built of reinforced on-
