WORK BEGUN ON THE SARDlNE FACTORY.
The steam lighter Sophia of the Snow Marine
Co. of Rockland, Capt. John l. Snow, arrived
here last week with a cargo of granite from
Stonington, and Monday the work Of building
the sea wall on the water front at this end of
the lower bridge, where the Pike Bros sar-
dine plant is to be located was begun
The lighter was run bow on to the shore
and the blocks of granite, some of them
weighing six or eight tons, were hand ed
by big derrick which placed them in
the desired position. When the present
cargo is used the lighter will go to Ston-
ington for another load. and it is thought
1t will take five or six weeks to complete the
work Then the filing in will begin and
foundation made for the cement building
which is to be 225 feet long and 60 feet wide
wooden pier will be built outside of the sea
wall. Thus. through the efforts of the Belfast
Board OF Trade, new industry is assured our
city, and it will no doubt be followed by others.
