APPROVAL Of
DRYDOCK PLANS
EXPECTED SOON

The secretary of the navy will
shortly approve. the plans for the
compile ton Of the Pearl Harbor dry
dock, SAYS the Army and Navy Jour
nal. The last appropriation bill car
ried s1.5g0, 600 as an Increase on the
limit of cost OF the dock, bringing the
total up to $4.es6,500. 1t is proposed
to construct the dock on entirely new
plans which it is thought will over
come the local conditions. 1t will be
built OF cement In sections Of between
so and 30 feet. After the sections
are moulded they will be sunk and
Joined together under the water. This
style of cement work has been used
in the construction of walls, but never
in building drydocks Il Is estimated
that 1t will require two years to COM
plete the dock The power plant has
been completed and the work Of con-
struction of the coaling plant and the
fuel oil depot is in progress.
