IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT --'The plans for the proposed improvement of God- erich harbor aro now on view in the clerk's office, at Cloderich,and tenders for the work are to be in by Feb. 7th. The plans and specifications show an exten• sion of the north pier of 410 feet, 370 of which is to he 30 feet wide and the re• minder 50 feet wide. '1'Ite south pier is to he extended 100 feet, and of n width of 40 feet. The north pier will run 300 feet straight out, and 110 feet at an angle to the northwest, while all the addition to the south pier will be at an angle to the southwest. This will give a bell shaped entrance, which will have a depth of 20 feet, and the plans and specifications show that the job is cal, culated to be a complete and permanent improvement. A rough estimate is that fully 5,000 cords of stone will be re- quired for filling, and the whole woi k will cost probably $75,000. Major Gray, of the Public Works Department, was there on Wednesday and 'Thursday in conn `tion with the work. WHOLE NO. 742 Tfan lt Top ICS.
