Most
taken
aback
by
the
news
of
the
proposed
sale
of
the
dry-dock
was
Robert
Cameron,
manager
of
the
drydock
and
shipyards,
who
hadn't
been
informed
that
any
such
move
was
contemplated
by
the
CNR.
"This
is
quite
a
shock,"
Mr.
Cameron
said,
"this
is
really
something."
He
said
there
was
nothing
much
more
he
could
say
excepl
that
the
move
"jeopardiised"
the
jolxs
of
about
60
persons.
If
the
CNR
received
no
offers
for
the
40-year-old
installations
it
might
mean
the
closing
down
of
the
plant.
The
plant,
now
in
its

employs
more

were
true
because
"I

"How

he

"I

"I
