In addition to the features proposed, MIR; Roach
contemplates the building Of a craving dock to
lie the largest in the world and capable of ac-
commodating even the Great Edstein The
ward is now capable of having twenty vessels on
the stocks, or building at one time, while there
is at d, esent wharfage for twelve of the largest
class Of vessels, which is being enlarged by ex-
tending the docks out into the river. The depth
of water now at the river front is % II. at low
water the width Of the river here is about two
miles
One OF the features here is that the workmen
can rent neat brick houses from So to SIT
per month. and desiring ones can buy lots at very
reasonable prices, and are assisted pecuniarill
toward building homes for themselves Over
1000 men are employed here, aud with the 7Ol
