reporting upon the eNtent Of the
repairs needed by the present wooden
dry docks on the Atlantic coast in or
aer 10 make them Immediately avail

mends that ail CT these docks. n,s, i'm
number, viz: Two ut New York, one nj
League Island, one at Norfolk and ono
iht Fort Royal, S. c., be fitted with con-
crete entrances in place ur Inose of tim
Der, and that ether alterations consn
quen1 upon this change be made MS de-
scrihed IN the report, mainly in the d.
rection of enlarging the capacity OF the
uochs ana OF making repairs of such a
nature as to lo5ls to tho gradual trans
formation Of the docks into solid con-
crete docks of full capacity. The esti-
ii.ated cost of these repairs Is abCut
S2i0, 900 each
The board says:
Ut Is only n question of time before
all OF the timber docks named will have
ie"eheu such state as to be unfit for
use. endangering ships in them from
their liability to sudden ineress Of
water from collapse OF their structure
uhuer the presSures about them In all

are likely 10 occur AT the entrances De-
reefs In other parts OF the docks are
usually accessible and can be repaired
so long as the entrances and its appur-
tehhhces be intact With such an en-
Trance ana cnisson in place, the rest
VI the structure and vessels in 1t are
secure and repairs TO II of any character
can be made as required"
Touching the present condition of The
docks, tho board says:
Ail docks examined show n condi-
tion OF more or less rapid deterioration
OF the material. due to its perishable
nature and. i'll certain Instances, weak
ness. due to the lack of secure rasten-
ings OF the timbers. The most rapid
deterioration appears at Port Royal
The dock at Norfolk is In the worst co1l-
dit:on and Is now under expensive re-
pairs.
THE three docks at League Island,
Norfolk and No. ., at New York, being
alke i'll dimensions will be enlarged by
The same recommendation. This is that
the entrances be enlarged 10 n width
or Sevcnty-two feet at the bottom sill,
mat the gate or caisson be lenEthc
correspondingly by twenty feet, that the
cross section Of the docks be widencd by
placing a concrete supporting wall along
its side TO support the altars above, and
that the new ecltrance be made OF con
crete. All timber in present floor of
abutments, except piles, to he replaced
by concrete. The estimate Cor making &
these extensive changes Is $3.50, $50 for
each dock
The work at Port Royal. Will be more
extensive than at the other points, be-
cause OF the necessity for supporting
more extensively The wooden affairs

estimate Is still placed at $40, 800"
