NEW STATE OF MAINE PIER AS IT WILL WHEN CoMPLE1

whereby cars are set on and on the
wharf by both the Portland Terminal
Company and the Grand Trunk Rail-
way, without charge.
The most modern of sheds are to
be built on the new pier, one of
which, that located on the eastern
side, is to be 500 feet long by 80 feet
in width, of which one 300 foot sec
tin is to be two stories in height
and built especially for handling the
immense transatlantic passenger
business which goes to Portland, es-
pecially during the winter months.
There will be up-to- minute ia
cilities for handling passengers with
full provisions for their inspection by
the health. immigration and customs
services of the United States. There
is already one shed constructed and
in operation for the New York steam
ers. so by 290 feet, with a floor area
of 1900 square feet. and another 60
by $50 feet for the Boston steamers
with floor area of 22,S00 square
feet. The total floor area of the sheds
will be 13S,600 square feet.
The equipment of the pier will in
clude inclined dock elevators for hand
ling cargoes to and from ships with
side ports, cargo beams for burton
ing" cargo from and to ocean going
ships. crane for handling heavy car
go, and electric tractors and pliers
and warehouse tractors for handling
cargo. within the pier sheds.
The port directors have also ar
ranged with the Grand Trunk Rail-
way so that conveyer galleries
will be built onto the new State Pier,
connecting with the two immense
grain elevators owned by that system
so that these structures will be made
available for the State Pier and II
will thus be possible to handle grain
from them at the State Pier just az
easily as it is now at any of the
Grand Trunk wharves.
Statistics show that the majority
Of State piers have proven to be q
wonderful investment for the states
that have constructed them, but ex-
perts declare that no publicly owned
pier has . brighter outlook than the
one now being built at Portland b.
the State Of Maine.
The Republican journal., 1922-12-28

cipal facts about this immense pub
lie enterprise should, therefore, prove
of interest to everyone in the Pine
Tree State 1t is to be 1000 feet in
length, and will be, in every way, the
"Peer of Piers" along the entire
Maine seacoast, and will be unex-
celled by any other on the Atlantic
seaboard. 1t will be 144 feet wide
at its outer end, 240 feet at the
point where the New York steam
ers dock, and 320 feet at the point
where the Boston steamers berth.
The total area of the immense struc-
ture, including land approach and
pier, is to be seven and a half acres,
and its total cost will be s1,500000,
of which the City of Portland gave
outright, by donating the site nearly
one-fourth or $350,000.
ANY ship that floats may be docked
at this pier, for it has 35 feet of wa
ter at mean low tide on its eastern
side. and from 35 to 20 feet on its
western side. On it's eastern side it
could easily dock end to end. two
average freight ships. for very few
of them run over 500 feet in length.
On the other hand, however, the pier
can also take care of the great trans
Atlantic liners which are now cross
ing the ocean. several of which run
to Portland in winter, and it has
also been built to handle the antici-
pated increase in the size of the
ships of the future. It's south end
is 144 feet across, and this may be
utilized for docking smaller craft
while its west side is able to handle
Coastwise boats ranging in length
from 500 feet down.
The pier has been admirably plan
ned SO far as traffic is concerned
and every railroad running into Port
land can send its cars down onto II
and the freight in them may be dis
charged directly into the ships lying
alongside the wharf. On the other
hand the cargoes Of the ships may
be discharged directly into freight
cars, thus saving very heavy trans
portation costs by reducing loading
charges to a minimum. In all, liz
freight cars may be stored on the
State pier, and arrangements have
been made by the pier directors

The new State of Maine Pier being
erected at the port of Portland, and
which it is believed will save the
people of Maine many hundreds Of
thousands of dollars in lower freight
rates. better deliveries, increased
transportation service, and a more
favorable opportunity to reach the
markets of the world, is rapidly near
ing completion. 1t was originally
Hoped to have the big structure
ready before the end of the present
year, but delays in getting steel and
other materials, due to strikes and
other causes beyond the control of
the port directors, have advanced the
date of completion to early in 1928,
possibly February or March.
The pier, however, is doing busi-
ness, Notwithstanding the fact that
It is a long way from being finished.
The Eastern Steamship Lines, Inc,
is using it for its regular Boston and
New York services, and numerous
other ships have already tied up to
It and discharged cargoes. In fact,
few state owned piers have brighter
outlook for future business than the
one now being constructed by- the
State of Maine at the port of Port
land. Already the annual income OF
the pier is averaging in the neigh
borhood Of $4,000. and this will be
greatly increased as more of it is
finished and becomes available for
use. A very interesting fact in con-
nection with the pier is that all Of the
present business has been obtained
without advertising. and there is
therefore every reason to believe
that when its advantages begin to be
exploited throughout both the cas-
tern and western hemispheres that
its business will increase by leaps
and bounds.
Apparently the majority Of the peo-
pie of Maine know comparatively
little about the great structure which
they are building and which. 1t is be-
lieved, will prove. so helpful to every
one of the 16 counties of the State
and to every town and city within
their borders.
