On tie River an important Improvement was
commenced wear ago, and is still in progress
intended TO accommodate two ship-yards and
stean.engine establishment. The River has oeeh
cncroachcd upon for distance OF several hundred
feet. and long pier has been extended IN "a sort
Of seni-circular form, leaving shallow basin OF
water between it and the shore, which is being
RAPIDLY filed up The earth used for this purpose
is obtained from large hills on the shore which
are being leyeed for this purpose A raitrack
has been laid along the entire length of the pier
to convey the dirtcars to the place required, and
SIXTY to hundred aborers are constantly EN-
ployed. 1t is intended to construct two Ship
yards for Jabcz Williams & Son, and Samuel
sneeden, and a Stcam-engne mandatory for
James Cunningham, Esq. Oh the grounds thus re-
claimed from the River.
We understand that the purchase OF the
property which is undergoing this Improvement
was consummated on the LIST Of June, 1913 and
that the work will be completed on tho LIST of
January Is5l at cost of 100000 The River
front will be unsurpassed in this country. The
improvement already covers 500 lots Of sroufd,
and when finished will comprise about 1000.
number Of fine brick dwelling houses are already
going up. Stores win probably follow in the
course of next Summer
The quantity Of earth required to fill upthis vast
space is enormous. The amount ALREADY used for
the purpose exceeds 100000 square yards, and
probably 100000 more viii be required before the
work is completed Tho adjacent hills must
eventually all come down.
AS if not to be outdone, Green-Point has stepped
forward in Manufactures at an early day, aud has
produced some elegant specimens of Porcelain
ware which obtained the Gold Medal at the late
Fair of the American Institute. The Porcelain
Works" have recently been established, and are
located short distance from the terminus of the
stageroute. They occupy sixteen lots involve
capital of $4,000 and employ some sixty hands
