DEMOLITION OF
3 FINGER PIERS
NOW COMPLETED
AWAITING ARRIVAL OF STEEL
MEMBERS TO BE USED IN
REBUILDING STRUCTURES
AT NAVAL STATION

Demolition of three finger
piers at the submarine base at
Key West is practically completed
and che steel members which are
to be used in construction of piers
cf an entirely different type are
being awaited.
In the meantime two other piers
of the series; of finger structures
in the submarine base are to be
demolished preparatory to the
construction of piers of the same
type as Numbers 1, and 3. With
these other three to be of the same
new type there will remain but
four of the old type in the base.
One of these piers is being used
for berthing by units of the coast
guard service operating out of Key
West and another is that at which
the airplane landing barge is
moored.
Work of Remembering the
pier being used by the coast guard
vessels has already started and it
is understood that these vessels
will in the future berth at one of
the other piers toward the north
ern end of the base. The barge
of the Pan American Anyways is
TO be moved to the next pier,
which is number 6.
With the arrival of the steel
members for the new piers there
will be additional men assigned
to this naval station project,
which today has lao men on the
pay rolls, or approximately half
of the number which will be en-
ployed when all projects are un-
der way.
Not all of these men are en-
ployed at the naval station how
ever. Some of them are working
at the distant control station at
the head of the island, while
others are actively engaged in
demolition of the old naval hos
pital which was used during the
world war.
Orders for demolition of this
building were received about two
weeks ago by Lieutenant VIM.
Klaus, U. S. N, officer in charge,
and the progress made on the
project is truly remarkable, he
said. .sA -..... e..
Discussing with The Citizen the
condition OF this large and roomy
structure Lieutenant Klaus said
that it was practically spohgy in
some parts from the inroads of
termites, and that very little of
the lumber in the entire building
could be claSsed as disable.

 Considering the bitterness with which some of these men regard one another and one anothers ideas this cooperation is nothing short of remarkable and certainly exceeds most previous hopes.
 The boys will proceed to light like cats after the foreign delegates are welcomed. Advocates of very cheap electricity, both inside and outside the government, hope to be able to put the industry on the spot and strike some great blows for public power development,
