WOOD ASKS j. 5. FOR
FLOATING DRY DOCK

MANILA, p. l., Dec. 26.--(A. PD--
Steps have been taken by Governor
General Wood to induce the L. s
government to transfer the float
ing drydocll Dewey at Olongapo,
Subio Bay, to Manila, as part of a
plan to make Manila the foremost port
in the Far East. The goVernor-gen~
eral took up the matter through the
bureau of insular affairs at Washing
ton and it is said the war and navy de-
partments will decide the pract cabil-
ity of its moving.
'"rhe transfer of the navy drNdock
Dewey to Manila" said Governor Cen
eral Wood, will add greatly to the
shipping facilities here and incidental
ly make Manila the terminal port of
the Far East. The United States ship
ping board ships as well as others,
could come here and use the drydock."
1t is estimated that it would cost APP
proximately $250,00O to remove the
drydock from its present location at
Olongapo to Manila. -~
