Harbor, Hawau, are bound to complete the structure at the original contract price, notwith- standing that the dock bids fair to be a total loss on account of an upheaval of the bottom. It is expected that it will be decided that the contractors will have to go ahead with the work intended originally to cost more than $3,000,000. The dock was designed to be 1,900 ft. long, so constructed that it could be divided into sections for the dock- ing of smaller vessels without flooding the entire structure. While the dock itself was to cost about $3,400,000, the abandonment of shop buildings, a pow- er plant, and other costly auxiliaries, would likewise be involved, so that the total loss would be much greater. Besides the dry dock, a large amount of work has been done toward the establishment of a naval base and re- pair plant at Pearl Harbor. Six shop buildings, a central power plant, a large general storehouse, and an ad- ministration building are practically completed. Work is in progress on six sets of naval officers' quarters, and a contract recently was signed for two additional sets of quarters. Marine barracks and three buildings for ma- rine officers' quarters are practically finished. Plans have been prepared and are ready for advertisement for a gymnasium and storehouse on the marine corps reservation. On Kuahua Island there are under construction by contract five magazines, shell houses, etc., and a reinforced concrete wharf is being built by yard labor. Six additional magazine buildings will be erected on the island. Work also is in progress on a coaling station that ultimately will have a capacity of 200,000 tons of coal, with facilities for rapidly discharging and loading col- liers and barges. Fuel-oil storage tanks, with an aggregate capacity of about 33,000 tons, are being. installed by contract. The ship building returns for the year on the Tyne show the _ highest output on record of 100 vessels of 441,- 826 tons launched, as compared with 93 vessels of 397,791 tons in 1912. The highest production is that of Messrs. Swan, Hunter & Wigham Richardson, Ltd., Wallsend, who launched 22 ves- sels of 107,636 tons. Messrs. Arm- strong, Whitworth & Co.'s return is nine vessels of 99,333 tons, which is a record for the Elswick firm.
