Far weeks, after the signing of
ha agreement between the city and
he Northland Transportation Com
pany, repairs have continued, until
roday, it was announced that the
improvement work for this year has
been completed.
' Only a small amount of galva
nized metal facing needs to be add
ed to the south side of the ware
house.
Since the improvements have
; been started, the warehouse struc
ture has been covered with metal
facing. The dock itself has been im
proved, with new facing piles being
driven and rotten planks being re
placed with new timbers.
One of the modern improvements
to the dock, Ray Stevens, wharf
inger, announced, was the construc
tion of a ne wlanding platform, to
be used when the steamer North
Sea berths. It was explained that
the North Sea sits higher out of
the water than most other ships
which call at te City Dock, and,
unless a landing platform is used,
the angle of the gangplank is steep
at high tide.
With the new piauorm in use,
passengers may leave the ship on
a level gangplank, and gain the
dock surface by using stairs from
the platform.
Perhaps the most colorful recent
addition to the wharf is the dock
length sign ‘’Northland Transpor
tatlon Co.,' which was painted b
Lu Listin.
