Work on the Eastern Steamship Co. s pier is
progressing favorably but there is still much
to be done. The freight shed on the front of
the wharf, including the new section to con-
meet with the building containing the office
and waiting rooms, is practically completed. A
new and large freight building is to be erected
on the north side of the wharf, taking the
place of the old building, which, cut in two to
facilitate handling, still remains on the wharf,
but which will eventually be disposed Of The
shore end of the pier is now receiving atten-

contrast with the old, Agent Pote says there
will be none too much room for handling the
business.
