A plan for its construction was drawn up in 1H47 Its estimated cost at that time was about $7,500,000. The plan calls for construction of two large sea basins, many acres of buildings and workshops, a score of double-sided berths for warships of all sizes, a floating dry dock to hold the largest known battleship and huge protecting dikes. The work Is going on in the Wadden Sea, the stretch of water between the Zuyder Zeu dike and the Frisian Islands, the chain of Islands fringing Holland in the North Sea. The project is divided into two parts The first bx,m will be finished in 1!04, the econl in 1957. The project is being paid for entirely out of normal budget funds. But it will cost considerably more than t!i ordinal estimate of $7 500.000 Already most of that has been spent, and there are several years' work ahead.
