It is thought that the structure will be completed by early summer.

It will provide facilities for loading 20,000 tons of coal per day into vessels. The pier will be 940 feet long and 66 feet wide. It is to be built on creosoted piles with reinforced concrete floor and concrete bulkhead. Space will be provided for loading four vessels at a time, utilizing both sides of the structure. In order that the work of transferring coal from the cars to the ships may not be hampered in cold weather, a "thawing house," with a capacity of thirty cars, is to be provided.

Coal frozen in the cars will be quickly thawed out by steam so that it can be easily dumped. The pier will be operated as follows: The cars will be pushed from the yard up on a "kick-back" from which they will descend by gravity to a dumper" where they will be picked up and turned over, emptying the coal into a hopper. Under this hopper, small four-ton cars will be run, by means of an endless cable, up an incline and out on a trestle along the centre of the pier. On both sides of this trestle traveling unloaders are be provided, which can be moved to any location desired. The small cars will be dumped automatically into hoppers constructed on these unloaders.

The coal will elevated by a conveyor to telescopic chutes lower- 3 ed into the bunkers of the vessels. There will also be constructed storage bins at the end of the pier for different grades of coal for local harbor trade. These boats will be loaded by means of a small traveler. The plans for the pier include the construction of a storage yard, for loaded and empty cars, having a capacity of 1,000 cars. The Maryland Dredging and Contracting company, of Baltimore, has been awarded the contract for dredging at the dock and grading the new yard.

The pier will be built by the Arthur McMullen company, of New York, and the machinery will be furnished by the Mead Manufacturing company of Chicago. Discipline Bulletin.
