8 PILE DRIVERS,
SUCTION DREDCE
AND TUG HERE
Real Scene OF Activity at New
Shipbuilding Plant Began
Yesterday.
WORK WILL NOW BE RUSHED
Large Additional Force Put TO
Work and Everything Begins
With Lively M0ve-Dredge to
Work Day and Night.
WORK WILL NOW BE RUSHED

A scene of real activity was start
ed at the site OF the United States
Maritime corporation yesterday morn
ing, with the arrival of three pile
drivers, one large suction dredge and
small tow boat, which is. to serve
as a tender to the other craft.
These boats had hardly arrived at
the site good before they all were
under full steam, and in less time
than it takes TO relate it, the quiet
spot on Back river, where mann
moth shipbuilding plant is to be locat-
ed, Gas transformed into one Of
great activity, The three pile driv-
ers were at work, many piling al
ready having been placed in the
river, while the big suction dredge
started to pumping sand from the
bottom of the river at her full ca
pacity, and the little tug boat was
busy shifting here and there through
out the day
These machines have been due in
port for some little time, but owing
to the fact that there was such
demand just at present for pile driv-
ers and dredges, it was with some
difficulty that they were secured.
Every machine of the kind in this
port has been actively at work for
weeks, consequently it was necessary
to place the dredging and dock buila-
ing contracts to out-of-town concerns.
and 1t has been some task to secure
them even at nearby ports. How
ever, they are all here now and the
work will be pushed with all possible
rapidity.
The large suction dredge is to be
operated day and night and will
pump at full capacity. The large
stretch Of marsh land, which is tc
be converted into a site for the big
shipbuilding plant, will be filled by
the mud and dirt pumped by the
dredge, thus she will be performing
a dual service, that of deepening
the channel of Back river and filing
in the site at the same time. 1t
was this way, it will be remembered
that the site on which is now locat
ed the A, B. and A. terminals was
filled in.
The force out at the new plant.
which has been added to week bv

dfy, and everything was moving
along at rate that indicated how
anxious the new company is to be.

EXTRA SESSION
LEGISLATURE FINISHES ITS BUS
iNESS AND ADJOURNS
YESTERDAY.

Atlanta, Aug. 16.-On an appropria
ton of $3,200,000 for the common
schools, the house and senate reach
ed compromise at 3:15 O'Clock this
morning and thereby averted an ex-
.ra session of the legislature.
This amount is 100000 more than
The appropriation recommended by
the appropriation committee of the
house and is $S00,000 less than the
appropriation of $4,OOO.OOO passed by
the house. 1t is $5OO,O00 more than
the 1917 appropriation of $4,000
for the common schools.
1t took three conference commit
tees to reach the agreement, and
Governor Dorsey had to take a hand
in the conference before the third
committee could get together
Governor Dorsey had his proclama-
ton calling an extra session already
prepared in the event the house and
senate should have adjourned sine
die.
The governor did not want an eX-
ira session, however, and by his dip
lomatic presentation of the states
financial condition to the third and
final committee, he succeeded in
warding it off.
Neither did the house want an eX-
ira session so keenly as did some of
the leaders of the common school
faction intimated they did in the
early evening.
AS the hours wore on and on,
drawing an extra session nearer and
nearer, the house began to slip, and
when Speaker Holder put it squarely
up to them to adjourn sine die be-
fore the compromise had been reach
ed, they voted to stay and try again
