The methods. followed are direct and Simple and give excellent results. eee Municipal Docks at Seattle Preliminary plans and arrangements are being prepared by the city gov- €tnment of Tacoma, Wash., for a sys- tem of municipal docks to provide a Public landing for all small craft. The site of the proposed docks is along the city waterway between Eleventh and Fifteenth streets, covering 1,440 ft. The project includes a fire-proof build- ing, the lower floor to be used for freight, the second for passengers, and the third for storage. A replat of the tide flats of Tacoma harbor fully described in THe Marine Review for June is in progress and a number of plans are being presented for future harbor development and a system of municipal docks. An at- tempt is being made to secure better transportation facilities to the tide flats by the construction of a new ~* bridge on Eleventh street. There are three salient points being considered. The first is to confine the Puyallup river, for the last 4,000 ft. of its course, to a scouring channel 100 ft. wide, instead of the 500-ft. width through which it now enters the sound. Two bulkheads 150 ft. 357 apart are proposed, one forming the west wall of the scouring channel and the other the east wall of a still water channel, the latter to be 250 ft. wide, and between the two bulkheads, a fill of 26 ft. above low water. The still water channel is to be 35 ft. deep at low tide, available for the deepest draught steamers. The second feature of the plan is to convert Sitcum avenue to a deep sea waterway, 4,000 ft. long. At an angle of 45 degrees from the east bank of this waterway are to be four slips, each 1,000 ft. long, 200 ft. wide, and 300 ft. apart. All wharf space between the slips on the east side of the Sit- cum avenue waterway is to be city property. The third feature is the opening of Puyallup boulevard from the inter- section of Sitcum avenue and the inner harbor line to the main line of the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound railroad, three miles to the south. This boulevard is to be forever used by municipal railroad tracks, to touch the foot of each lateral slip from Sit- cum waterway and to afford direct connection with every railroad now in the city or that may enter the city. Heffernan Improvements | at Seattle In THe Marine Review of April, 1910, was noted the purchase of a large sec- tion of Seattle tide land by J. T. Hef- fernan, president of the Heffernan Dry Dock Co., and Heffernan Engine Works. As a second step in the estab- lishment of his ship repair plant, Mr. Heffernan has purchased and moved to his plant the marine railway and ways formerly operated by the Seattle Ship Yards Co., at Ballard. The Heffernan Dry Dock Co. will move its floating dry dock, which is 385 ft. long and 100 ft. wide with a capacity of 8,000 tons, back and place the marine ways, which are 250 ft. long and 56 ft. wide with a capacity of 4,000 tons, adjoining the dock. This will enable them to handle vessels of all sizes quickly for repair work, The improvement of the tide land on the East Waterway includes the erection of a boiler shop and machine shops with all facilities for repair work. The machine shops of the Heffernan Engine Works will be moved to the new location as soon as the new plant is. sufficiently far advanced and the Heffer- nan companies will specialize in repair work, The Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Co., of Chicago, was the lowest bidder for excavation work to be done in Erie harbor, its bid being $42,960.
