The following piers have been completed:Pier 40.Pier 38.Pier 36.Pier 34.Pier No. 54 is in course of construction. The type of construction adopted for piers 38 and 40 was described inthe last report. Sketches showing the floor plans and some details ofconstruction are reproduced herewith. Pier No. 36 is provided with a ferry slip and apron for the handlingof freight cars. The construction of this pier is similar to that of piersNo. 38 and No. 40 out to the nose «f the ferry slip; from that point onit is of wooden construction.
