i (Bun vor Bay Decks Arc. Ilskring tepkjion East of IlGVport NEWPORT, Aug. 14-Special-Events have moved rapidly this week toward completion of the first units of the new docks of the Yaquina Bay Dock company docks on the bay just east of Newport, with predictions that the two docks would prove inadequate, and a third one would be needed soon, reports the Newport News. Beryl Smith, spokesman for the company, stated that the, latest of the war surplus ships' to arrive, the "Francois Hennebique," will be put in place and pumped full of silt next week. Although its 15.000 tons 'gross weight after filling would normally hold it in place, dolphins will be driven around it and revetments placed on all sides.

Back of it the spoilage areas will be filled, leveled and blacktopped, and the ship will be cleared of its superstructure and likewise black-topped for a loading' dock. The first two docks will therefore be ready for, use in-30 days, Smith During the past two weeks It appeared for a while that the dredge, might leave Yaquina Bay to. begin work on a project pending in Astoria. However, it appeared likely that Captain TenBrook would stay, on here with his dredge until the work was completed on the first two docks. Additional capital was needed to put through this last week's work, and this much-needed backing was raised, locally- through a drive put Smith with the vigorous support, of the Newport chamber of commerce, and of city Smith stated that the nresent dock area and capacity has already been negotiated: to shippers who will use all of it, and that he believes the third dock, will become urgently necessary by spring.
