Plans For Lae’s New Wharf Approved
LAE, August 23.

The new structure will be slightly south-east of the old one. 300 ft. long and 50 ft. wide. The transit shed will run parallel with it and allow cargo to be wheeled directly into the shed. Be hind the shed will be a loading platform for trucks and an area for cargo that can be temporarily stored in the open.
Steel piles will be used in the construc tion of the wharf and test-drilling has already commenced to find the necessary depth to which to drive the piles.
