TO DRAW PLANS
OF STRUCTURES
FOR new PIERS
Boat Clubs Will Have Year of
Grace Before Moving From
Present Locations

Charles r. Forbes, chairman of the
harbor commission, today ordered
work to begin on the drafting of
plans for three buildings to cover the
three new piers, s, . and 10, now
under construction at the foot OF Fort
street. ..<1
Forbes ordered the plans so as to
provide for contracts by units for each
pier as it is the intention of the board
of harbor commissioners to build the
big shed on Pier first of AL.
The decision 10 build the Pier s shed
will be of interest to the boat clubs
as it practically means they will not
have to seek new quarters for at
least another year.
II was originally the intention of
the board to begin Cork in a short
time on Pier 2, which would have
driven out the boat houses, but the
purpose is now to transfer the money
on hand for this to the construction of
Pier 8. The work is slow at best and
the board feels that plans for the
shed should be drawn at once so as
to have things in readiness when the
contrae etor has completed the job some
time before next summer
William Furer of the public works
department will have charge of the
new plans,
