Dock to be Taken Over at Once.
We understand thai.an arrangement has be"en:entered-intq betweemthe contractors for the dock arid the HarbourV Board, by which the requisite certificate "was granted to the contractors by the engineer yesterday afternoon. The steps necessary for taking over the dock by the Harbour Boaid will bacompleted^onlMonday next, and it will be opened_at once. The termsr on which the dispute between the contractors and the Board, relative to the leaks in the dock,were settled, have not yet been disclosed. Several vessels have; been waiting to go into the dock, and if a fair arrangement was possible, it is a pity it was not sooner made. On the other hand, if the dock is defective, a serious responsibility will rest on the Board in accepting it from 'the contractors. - ~, r/, T 1 y; g ■. —- r
