About $8,000 has been - spent on the Tasmania, being rebuilt at the same port. The‘ place now occupied by the Tasmania will be taken by the steamer Ohio, which will receive a new cabin and new upper works, ata 2 cost of $14,000. The barge Harvey Bissell will also go into the dry dock to receive steel arches, a steel keelson, new planking in her bottom and a thorough recaulking The cost of the repairs” will be about $3,500, : 98 % Frank E. Kirby, of the Detroit Dry Dock Company, is said to have designed another passenger boat to be built next fall for Detroit river service. She will be 165 feet long and 35 feet beam, and of very light draft. It is expected she will attain a speed of. twenty miles an hour. | Boilers and engines will be below the main deck allowing additional space for freight. Two cabins - above will have five feet of clear deck on either side. The hull is of a peculiar model. It flares out from the water line to the guards, so that the greater the load the more beam the boat will have. This will prevent listing, which would otherwise occur on account of the light draft.
