They built their terminals so close to the old wharf that they actually rendered it useless for public purposes.

No, but they built close to it and crowded it so much as to make it utterly useless for public purposes.

That will depend on whether the wharf is transferred to the Department of Marine and Fisheries and on the amount of business which will be done.

Mr. PUGSLEY.

It was built some few years ago but it was unfortunately built of native timber which was not creosoted and it was practically destroyed by the teredo. This is an illustration of what I said last night, that it is desirable, if not absolutely necessary, in the construction of wharfs in localities where the teredo is prevalent, that the construction under water should be with creosoted timber.
