For the past several at the boat yard of the Reliance Marine ami Construction! Corporation on Abeel street a rather Interesting construction Job has been KOlng on. It was the remodeling? of the former "Socony No. tug which was bought by the Tbomaa A. Feeney Corporation of thin city for remodeling: Into one of the most powerful find up-to-date lugs for use on the Barge canal.

Last fall the "Socony No. a eteel lug, was bought and brought to this city when the river opened up this spring. Since then the boat, had the old engines removed and and in place a latest type! Diesel engine has been Installed. After the old engines were taken out a heavy steel engine bed has been electrically welded I the by tho Ashley Welding Works of this city.

It will take about three weeks to complete the work and get the boat ready to place In commission. A new super-structure will be constructed and the tug which has been named the "Thomas A.
