able TO finish the dock on time. which was
April 23d last, and he secured an extern
sion of five months. Matters were pro-
crossing well tlll the 18th Of last month,
when weakness developed I'm the bottom
and i'm a short time 125 feet Of the con-
crete and piling was heaved up by the
heavy water pressure below. Cracks also
developed, and although the bottom was
forced by heavy weights about half the
distance, IL had arisen. The injury has not
yet been completely remedled. There are
different theories as to the cause Of the
break, but the most plausible one is that
the sheet piling, which is intended 10
exclude the water I'm some measure and
relieve the bottom of the dock from ex-
down far enough 10 perform its functions
I'm addition TO this lapse there was
failure to place relief valves In the bot

At present IT Is not possible 10 estimate
the extent Of the injury 10 the dock. II
the upheayal does not extend. the dam
aged portion may be repaired I'm the
