The con- pany has a 50 ton crane for repair pur- poses which to be operated properly requires more room.
 In regards to the installing of new turbines, the engineer said, Bridge port is growing so fast it keeps us busy to keep up with it.'' The exten- sion asked is one end of the building, facing the curve in the street.
