Dry Dock Drowned Man Tale Spurs New St Johns Dock Plan
The Review corrects last week’s report on Lew Meeder's drowning at Pier No 4. The accident happened at six in darkness as Meeder and Michaels moved driftwood. Despite efforts, Meeder disappeared in the swift river. A glove found later hints at the tragedy. Officials plan a steel dry dock and machine shop on Ogden tract, ten acres, with over 1 million investment to serve large vessels and cut repair costs.
