A recent event of outstanding hm-

dry dock at St. Jelin, New Branswick,
a signal event both to the city and
Dominion, giving to Canada and to the..
Atlantic port the distinction of Bos
sessing the largest dry dock in the'

comparison of these dimensions with

closes the fact that the St. John dry
dock is, actually the largest in the

largest vessel afloat to -day is only 956
feet long, and that naval'authorities
are generally in agreement in concud-:
ing that 'vessel' dimensions have now
reached their economic maximum, it
would appear that unnecessary length
is. provided in the St. John dock. How-

with an'interinediate sill which will
permit the whole dock to be divided,
into two entirely separate chambers,
the inner 600 feet in length and the
outer 650 feat in. length, it will be ap-
