The Palestine government today began erection of a lighthouse in the estuary of the Yarkon River, near Tel Aviv as part of the project to furnish greater harbor facilities to relieve the congestion of Jaffa harbor.
The estuary will be widened and dredged to permit passage of large vessels. Creation of new harbor facilities will materially aid Tel Aviv industrial activities and will aid in relieving the congestion now seriously affecting commerce through Haifa harbor.
