The timber portion of thepier was completed to the top of the rangers and it is expected that the entire pier,with the exception of the shed, will be finished by May of the pr»::sent year. Plans,specification? and form of contract for the shed structure have been prepared bythe engineering force of the Department and a contract will be let very soon forthis work. The accompanying illustrations show graphically something of thedifficultyand importance of the construction work undertaken under the supervision of theengineers of the Department of Docks and Ferries in connection with the workdescribed. An incidental benefit to the City in connection with this project is theutilization of much of the rock removed from the slips in building a retaining walloutshore of Riverside Park as the first step toward important extensions of thePark area through outshore filling.</i><br><b>Text Appearing After Image:</b><br><i>7 The City has owned for approximately ten years a very large and importantsection of waterfront and upland in the South Brooklyn district extending from28th street to 36th street.

The timber work was entirely completed by theend of the year and approximately 650 feet of the inshore end was finished withconcrete deck. A contract for shedding the pier has already been let and workwas begun upon fabricating the structural steel on O</i><br><br><b>Note About Images</b><br></p>
