These and other big schemes will be completed within the next year. The Priestman dredge, filled with drilling plant, is now at Port Chalmers, engaged in work in connection with the blasting away of rock preparatory to building the new shear-legs wharf. This work, which the old 222 dredge was unable to cope with, will occupy about six months, and within a year Port Chalmers will have the satisfaction of possessing a shear-legs wharf that will still further enhance the excellent docking arrangements already in existence.
