FLOATING DOCK
ITS VALUE PROVED
Unable to anticipate the results of the working of the floating dock ■at the previous annual meeting-, the chairman of the Wellington Harbour Board (Mr. C. J. B. Norwood) stated at last night's annual meeting of the board that he was pleased now to be ablo to record that, although tho dock had been in operation only six months of the year under review,' it had been used on fourteen occasions, mostly for clean*ing and painting. On at least throe occasions, moreover, the dock was able to provide the means for assisting vessels which had boen docked on account of the damage they had sustained.
