Enlarge Plant Will Add 100 Jobs At Marine Works
The American Marine Iron Works directors decided Saturday to build a $50,000 unit of a marine repair plant ahead of a $1,000,000 drydock planned by the Commission of Public Docks at the St Johns municipal terminal property. The plant near the Star Sand dock at Richmond Street will employ about 100 more workers and feature derricks to move machinery from ships. Contracts for the work will be let immediately and former employees will be rehired with raises where possible to ease unemployment.
