PLANS FOR CITY
DOCK GIVEN TO
THE COUNCIL
Three plans were submitted to th°
council la >t night by Walter W. Luk
ens for the proposed floating dock to
the small boats coming to Seward.
Mr. Lukens went into details explain
ing the various plans and the special
committee of ( ouncilmen Lucas an !
Homer were instructed to have a con
ference with Mr. Weir regarding the
most feasible plan- securing of mater
ial* etc., and make a report at a spec
ial meeting of the council to be he’d
Friday night.
One of the plans submitted provid
es for the opening of Thin! Avenue
across a right-of -way or tho railroad.
There would be a trestle running on
from the beach to deep water. At the
end of this trestle a floating dock
could be constructed 20 by 120 feet
which would accommodate four 00
foot boats. The estimated cost of th*s
floating dock would be $2500. I be
trestle would be fifteen feet wide.
Plan number two proposes a ma»n
float 12 by 120 feet with a companion
way* attached to the north side of the
extension of the Seward dock. This
float would only accommodate two 00
foot boats. This would cost $1200.
Plan number three proposes a m;» n
landing float 8 by 80 feet on the
north side of the new extension of tb<
Seward Pock with a connecting run
way 100 feet* from which there would
be three wings projecting, one being
10 by 50 feet and two wings 8 bv 1"
feet with companion way running to
the Seward dock. This dock would :»«•
commodate s;\ 00-foot boats. The est;
mated cost of this improvement wo»d '
be $2700.
