Portland freight shed and wharf.—We are officially advised that considerable repair work is in progress at the company's wharves at Portland, Me. The material for renewal of the wharves consists of approximately 75,000 lineal feet of creosoted piling in 45 ft. to 65 ft. lengths. The proposed freight shed will be of timber construction. Work was started early in October 1920, but was suspended in December. The old superstructure has been entirely removed and the piling has been driven for replacement by the new superstructure. Work will, it is expected, be restarted in the spring, so as to be completed by the end of August.
