F THERE are any who think that England's industrial condition is moribund they should visit Tees-side. As a centre of strenuous industrial activity the district is bad to beat. Eighty-six furnaces in full blast in Cleveland District, and numerous other works and industries, combine in making Stockton and Middlesbrough the busy hives of industrial success they are. The staple industries of the district are Iron and Steel-making, Ship-building, Bridge-building, Engineering, Iron-founding, and Salt and Chemical-making. Were these facts unknown to a person of ordinary powers of deduction, cognisant of the leading characteristics of the surrounding country, it is fair to say that he would put his finger on the Tees-side portion of the map and exclaim, " That is where iron works ought to be!" And he would be right. There the coal meets the ore, and the resultant pig iron has unrivalled access by rail and sea to the markets of the world. The Middlesbrough district is, as it were, a huge machine, ironstone and iron ore being poured in at one end and pig iron emerging at the other. The shipments of pig iron from the Tees average something like 5,000 tons per working day, apart from the large quantities of pig and manufactured iron and steel forwarded by rail. 3 The River Tees Conservancy Commissioners. Stockton and Middlesbrough are seaports of the first rank. Liners ply direct between Middlesbrough and all the greatest markets of the world. Large quantities of pig and manufactured iron are carried from the Tees to Japan in that country's own bottoms, which also take Machinery, Coal, Coke, and Woollen and Cotton Goods. To serve the local industries of Stockton and Middlesbrough, and especially those based on the enormous production of Pig Iron and manufactured Iron and Steel, etc., it has been found necessary to carry out extensive works for the improvement and development of the River Tees, the natural outlet of the trade of these towns and the adjacent districts. The first movement towards the improvement of the Tees was made in 1805, when a meeting was held at Stockton to consider the then condition and the possible development of the river. From 1808 to 1828 further steps were taken in the obtaining of Acts of Parliament by the Tees Navigation Company, empowering them to alter, widen, and improve the channel of the river to the sea. In 1852 the Tees Navigation Company closed their career, and an Act was obtained for placing the river under a public Commission of fifteen members, of whom three were appointed by the Admiralty, five each elected by the Corporation of Stockton and the Ratepayers of Middlesbrough, and two by the Ratepayers of Yarm. By a further Act in 1875 the number of Commissioners was increased from fifteen to twenty-one, with a re-arrangement of representatives as follows : Board of Trade, 3 ; Stockton Corporation, 4 ; Middlesbrough Corporation, 4 ; Ratepayers of Yarm, 2 ; Stockton Payers of Dues, 2 ; Middlesbrough Payers of Dues, 2 ; Stockton Shipowners, 2 ; Middlesbrough Shipowners, 2. The River Tees Conservancy Commissioners. The jurisdiction of the Tees Commissioners extends from Parlia- mentary defined limits in the Tees Bay to a point in the River at High Worsall, a distance of 25 miles from the Tees Bay. RIVER CHANNEL. At one time there were no less than four different channels of the river between Middlesbrough and the sea ; these channels were so tortuous, varying, and uncertain that several of the leading lights were placed upon rollers so that they could be the more easily moved as the main channel shifted. The depth of water on the bar in 1863 was 3^ feet at low water of ordinary spring tides. At the present time the depth on the bar is 20 feet at low water, and 37 feet at high water. This material improvement has been effected by the judicious construction of training walls, by dredging, and by the construction of breakwaters, RIVER TRAINING WALLS. At present there are about 24 miles of training walls in the river and estuary ; these training walls are carried up to about 5 feet above low water level, and are constructed entirely of slag from the local ironworks. The formation of these walls was in progress for twenty-seven years. By the con- struction of these training walls and the other works referred to, the river at low water is now confined in one channel. B The River Tees Conservancy Commissioners, BREAKWATERS. The South Gare Breakwater for the protection of the entrance to the river was begun in 1863, and took twenty-four years to build ; it is a Portland-cement concrete structure, upon a foundation of slag, with slag hearting between the exterior walls near the head, where it has an extreme width of 220 feet at the level of the roadway. Nearly 5,000,000 tons of slag, and over 18,000 tons of cement were used in its construction. The whole structure is upwards of 2j miles in length. Owing to increased scour in the river and other causes, it has been found necessary to protect the head of the Breakwater by a wave-breaker of concrete blocks, varying in weight from 40 tons to 300 tons each. The North Gare Breakwater has been completed for a length of 3,330 feet. The structure of the Breakwater consists of a solid Portland-cement concrete wall on the sea face, averaging 12 feet in thickness by 26 feet in height. On the harbour face the wall is backed by slag balls for an average width of 50 feet. This work has been temporarily discontinued, in order that observations may be made of the changes, if any, which may take place in the entrance channel or North Gare sands. DREDGING. By the employment of the most efficient and improved Dredging Plant, the dredging operations of the Commissioners are increasing year by year. Since 1854, about 26,200,000 cubic yards of material have been removed by dredging from the bed of the river ; nearly the whole of this material has been deposited at sea by hopper barges. The more recent engineering improvements in the river have been the result of increased dredging operations, by means of which not only have deep water berths been formed in the river at Port Clarence, where vessels drawing from 15 to 24 feet may lie afloat at low water, but also the navigable channel has been considerably widened, deepened and improved. 6 The River Tees Conservancy Commissioners. The Tees Commissioners have in progress the completion of a navigable channel carrying a depth at low water of 9 feet from Stockton Bridge to near Blue House Point at Stockton, and gradually increasing the depth from this point to 15 feet at low water opposite the entrance to the Middlesbrough Dock, thence maintaining a uniform depth of 15 feet to the sea, thus giving a depth of from 26 feet at Stockton to 32 feet at Middlesbrough Dock Entrance at high water ordinary spring tides. When this work has been completed a further deepening of the channel of the River is contemplated by the Commissioners. LIGHTING OF CHANNEL. There are altogether seven- teen lights upon the River Tees : One white revolving flash light in the lighthouse at the end of the South Gare Breakwater, visible for a distance of 10 miles ; two red leading lights at the fifth buoy ; two The River Tees Conservancy Commissioners. similar lights at the ninth buoy ; two green lights, three fixed white lights, one fixed red light, one occulting white light, and five gas bqoys. Of these, five gas buoys, and nine of the beacon lights are supplied with compressed oil-gas, each having a storage capacity available for six weeks, burning day and night continuously. The application of this illuminant instead of oil is now extended to the whole of the lights on the River, with the exception of the South Gare Breakwater light, and the fifth buoy leading lights. The gas is manufactured by the Commission at their Graving Dock Works, at Cargo Fleet. RECLAMATION OF FORESHORE. The total area of the land at present reclaimed from the foreshore of the Tees is about 2,800 acres. By the Tees Conservancy Act, 1892, the Commissioners obtained Parliamentary powers for further reclamation of the foreshore at Port Clarence, Eston and Cargo Fleet, such reclamation now being in progress by Bell Bros. Ld., Bolckow, Vaughan & Co. Ld., and The Cargo Fleet Iron Co. Ld. VALUE OF IMPROVEMENTS. As some indication of the value of the improvements in the development of the river, it may be of interest to observe that the largest cargo shipped in 1864 from the Middlesbrough Dock was 708 tons, while the largest cargo shipped in recent years was 8,000 tons taken by the s.s. " Goldmouth " in 1905. The largest vessel that has been in the River is the s.s. " Ultonia," 10,402 gross registered tonnage, belonging to the Cunard Steam Shipping Company, Limited. j The River Tees Conservancy Commissioners. SIZE OF VESSELS FREQUENTING THE RIVER TEES.

Nearest Coal, Coke, and Limestone. Within 16 miles. Ironstone. Adjacent Cleveland Mines. Electric Power and Light Cleveland and Durham County Electric Power Co. have powers to supply the district and quote low terms for large consumption. The Corporations of Middlesbrough and Stockton also supply electric power. Wages. Average 305. to 385. per week skilled, and 2 is. per week unskilled (53 hours week). Water Supply, The Tees Valley Water Board's Mains profuse supply, graduated scale of charges. Land vacant. At Portrack, Haverton Hill and Port Clarence. Between railway and river about 650 acres ; between railway and road about 320 acres. Practically the whole of this land is in the market ; also a large tract of land at Greatham and Seaton. River and Dock Dues. The River Tees in regard to Rates and Tolls is one of the cheapest ports in the Kingdom. Total net registered tonnage of vessels frequenting the Tees (including Dock) amounts to about 3,500,000 tons annually. Production of Pig Iron. During 1904, 2,234,000 tons. During 1905, 2,507,000 tons. Local Taxation. Haverton Hill, in Billingham Parish, about 35. 5d. in the . Port Clarence sites, in Cowpen Bewley Parish, about 2s. 4d. in the . On the Banks of the Tees there are various advantageous sites unoccupied, with everything to recommend them from an industrial point of view. 10 The River Tees Conservancy Commissioners. These sites lie between railway and river, and have also good road approach. The locality between Port Clarence and Greatham Creek offers to those who require it practically unlimited tipping ground for slag and such like refuse on the tidal foreshore. The sites at Haverton Hill possess the advantage of navigable river frontage suitable for the establishment of wharves. The sites also suggest themselves as excellent situations for shipbuilding yards or graving docks. The sites between Haverton Hill and Portrack, near Stockton, are also well worth attention. The width of the River on the Haverton Hill reach is about 170 yards. The total tonnage built in Tees-side shipyards during 1905 was 138,577 tons. The district is largely populated. Port Clarence and district is connected by frequent ferry service with Middlesbrough, and is, so far as supply of labour is concerned, practically a part of that place. The river has a safe entrance for ships in practically all weathers. Altogether Tees-side offers exceptional advantages to those who require a location for new works.

T7ESSELS intended for the Dock may be registered, and Regulations and Tables of Dock Dues seen at the Offices of the Tees Conservancy Commissioners, Middlesbrough. Particulars of Charges, &c., may also be obtained from the Graving Dock Manager, Mr. H. A. Wood, at the Dock, North Ormesby, near Middlesbrough. Tees Conservancy Commissioners' Graving Dock, The Tees Commission have installed Electric Lighting and Power Plant for the more efficient working of the Dock, the following being a brief description of the work : DESCRIPTION OF ELECTRIC LIGHTING AND POWER PLANT The installation has been designed to supply electric light to the Dock and Workshops, and also motive power for drilling and other purposes, and it consists of : Two vertical double cylinder, double acting, high speed engines, each engine is capable of giving 30 effective h.p. with a steam pressure of 35 Ibs. per square inch when running at a speed of 300 revolutions per minute, and is fitted with cylinders lo-in. diameter by Sin. stroke. The engines are complete with continuous lubricating gear, and the speed of each engine is controlled by centrifugal governors, driven by belt from the crankshaft. The engines drive by belt on to Two " Tyne " dynamos, each dynamo being capable of feeding an equivalent of 300 i6-c.p. lamps, the machines being constructed to give an output of 175 amperes at an E.M.F. of 105 volts when running at a speed of 900 revolutions per minute. The dynamos are fitted with drum bar armatures, and are complete with sliding bedplates with tightening screws and brackets, so that the belts can be taken up whilst running. The current from the dynamos is taken to a main switchboard fitted with amperemeters and voltmeters, and on this board three distributing switches are fitted, arranged to control the arc light circuit and incandescent light circuit for the dock, and the power circuit. The Dock is lighted by 10 arc lamps of 3,000 nominal c.p. each, each lamp burning with a current of 15 amperes for 16 hours without recarboning. The workshops are also lighted by 4 arc lamps of 1,000 c.p. The arc lamps are run in pairs, each pair being con- trolled by a switch and adjustable resistance, and the lamps are suspended from poles fitted with suitable head-gear, and counter-balance weights. 20 Tees Conservancy Commissioners' Graving Dock. The workshops and offices are further lighted by 47 incandescent lamps, there being 4 8-c.p. lamps, 35 i6-c p. lamps, and 8 32-c. p lamps. The cables from the main switchboard run in a trench cut round the dock ; there are two pairs of cables, one pair for the incandescent lighting of the dock, and the other for the power circuit. These cables are connected to seven distributing boxes of cast iron, each box being fitted with a water-tight cover and hinged lid, so that the branch cables can be taken from these boxes to the electric motors and portable lights. Twenty-four 32-c. p. incandescent lamps are supplied for lighting inside vessels and under ships' bottoms, each of these lamps is fitted into a water tight portable lamp, with 100 feet of armoured flexible cable to each. From the distributing boxes, electric motors are driven for drilling and other purposes in the repairs of vessels of all classes This installation is of somewhat novel description, as the electrical energy is utilized for arc and incandescent lighting, and also motor driving, and is one of the most perfect of its class. FURTHER DRY DOCK ACCOMMODATION. Land has been purchased at Cargo Fleet by a Dry Dock Company, for the construction of Dry Docks, etc., which will accommodate the largest class of vessels. MIDDLESBROUGH DOCK above-named Dock is the property of the North-Eastern Railway Company, and possesses facilities for the rapid dis- charging and loading of vessels. The Dock is 26 acres in extent, has over 6,700 lineal feet of quayage, and at ordinary spring tides there are 33 feet of water on the sill. The entrance is 80 feet wide and admits the largest vessels. The Dock is Electric lighted and fully equipped with Electric and Hydraulic Cranes, Capstans, Coal Hoists, &c., and there is extensive accommodation for the storing of Rails, Steel Sleepers, Iron Ore, Pig Iron, Timber, &c. (on which goods the Company issue warrants) and a commodious Transit Shed for the storing of goods. Powerful double-engined Tugs are kept to move vessels in the Dock. For further particulars apply to the DOCK AGENT, MIDDLESBROUGH. 22 SHIPBUILDING ON THE TEES T -"Iff . mm HE total production of New Shipping from the several Shipyards on the River Tees for the year 1905 was 40 Vessels, representing 138,577 tons, divided as follows : TONS Port of Stockton ... 81,531 Port of Middlesbrough ... 57,046 Total 138,577 SHIPBUILDERS IN THE PORT OF STOCKTON : Richardson, Duck & Co.

For further particulars apply to the WHARF MANAGER, STOCKTON-ON-TEES. 24 TEES FLOATING HOSPITAL Floating Hospital of the River lees Port Sanitary Authority, moored on the North side of the River below Eston Jetty, was erected and furnished in 1895, a * a cost of i 0,000. The buildings are constructed on a float of 10 cylinders 86 feet 6 inches long, by 6 feet in diameter, and consist of two Ward Blocks and a large Administrative Block midway between them. At the rear of the latter there is a Laundry, Mortuary, and Destructor. The Port Sanitary Authority was constituted by an order of the Local Government Board, dated the 2nd of January, 1886, and its specific duties are to prevent the spread of infectious diseases by the crews of vessels trading to and from the Tees. The Members and expenses of the Authority are divided as follows : T own No. of Representatives ... 7 .. 3 Middlesbrough ... ... ... Stockton ............ Thornaby ... ......... 2 Eston ............ 2 Normanby ... ... ... ... i Stockton Rural Sanitary Authority 2 Kirkleatham ... ... ... Share of Expenses 14/351115 6/35ths 4/35ths 4/35ths 2/35ths 4/35ths i/35th The Expenditure, amounting to about ^"2,500 annually, is raised by Precepts, upon the various Authorities. The Launch " Osprey " is the property of the Board, and has all the necessary appliances, such as disinfectants, stretchers, etc., on board. Sir Samuel A. Sadler has been Chairman of the Authority since its formation. The Officers are as follows : CLERK : Geo. Bainbridge, Esq., Middlesbrough ; MEDICAL OFFICER : Dr. C. V. Dingle, Medical Officer of Health, Middlesbrough ; INSPECTOR : James Jefferson, Middlesbrough. The Medical Officer and Inspector are invested with the same powers as to sanitary matters and of entering vessels for inspection as those possessed by the Sanitary Officers of a Town Council, under the Public Health Act of 1875. In 1893 tne Board adopted the Infectious Diseases (Notification) Act of 1889. It may be truly said that every arrangement has been carefully carried out for the comfort and protection of the victims to infectious diseases, and of the residents on Tees-side from the danger of infection.
