It is the intention of tho Federal Govern ment, if Ihe proposition proves practicably to extend the present accommodation at tha Williamstown shipya-d sund to provide an extra slip, os well as to increase the size of the two slips now in use (says “ Sydney Ship* ping List"). The Government possesses land at the yard to enable this work to bo carried out, but it is understood that cartain engineering difficulties will have to bo overcome before the work can bo put in hand. The Minister in charge of ship construction (Mr Poynton) sla.es that he intends to recommend to the Government that entensions should be carried out at the Williamstown yard to permit of the construction of larger vespe'a. He was not in a posi'.ion, however, to mako any statement on the subject at the present juncture. SHIPPING TELEGRAMS. AUCKLAND, October *.
