thorities in Whitehall have set their
hand 10 a scheme OF naval expansion at
the western port which will entail an ex-

sion Of Devonport as a naval port. and
the means Of access 10 the dockyard at
all tides has been rendered safe and
easy.
The scheme includes the creation OF
a tidal basin. with an area OF 35i5

biggest basin which Davenport now
possesses. Ii will be 1850 feet long
and 900 feet broad. with depth OF
