The ship-building yard possesses a frontage to the sea of up-
wards of Lau
ips feet, In which there will be capacity for laying
down 20 sh, taking au average of GO feet In width for each
ship. As at present constituted, the establishment comprises a
ar54411145 strove-buflt dry d ck, 200 feet by 52 feet. In perfect
working rendition. with steambeidoe, circular-saw gear. smiths'
shops, timber sheds, ounces end buildings, with slips, quays, and
other 1111Ceteary appliances, all to good repair. On the premises
there is a capital lime kiln, four excellent dwelling-houses,
suitable for the manager mid employes of the company, six cot-
tages for foremen, de.: a good supply of fresh water, and an
abundance of lime and building atone.
It is proposed to lengthen the present dry dock 50 feet. to con-
struct two additional dry decks. and one large floating dock to

tion and repair of iron and wooden ships, the manufacturing of

For the purposes of the Company the position of the premises
