As the people are all interested In our
new $500 school building. We viii' IN
these columns from time to time note
the progress of the work. The contrac-
tors. Messrs. Reitze and Mcdonald,
no = have twenty mechanics employed
on the building, and are pushing 1t
ahead as rapidly as such substantial
and thorough work can b done. The
foundation Of the buildinR IL Of stone,
and the timbers resting on this founds-
ton are large and close together. The
partitions throughout the building
are trussed and cross bracsd. and tied
together with plates before the ceiling
put on. The frame of the building 10
now all in place. and is being encased
With planned inch sheathinR. or planed
boards one inch thick and twelve inches
wide. This shesshinR 10 placed on dag,
aponally, reversed at every angle, ana
nailed at every hearing with three ten
penny nails. The floors are all double,
the first one being one-inch f1ne lumber,
nailed TO the joists, and on this Ii a
thick coating Of plaster, TO deaden the
sound. then ton0ued and grooved foor-
ING IL inches thick At every angle IN
the partitions is a cost SIS inches. The
tower ia supported by large hr posts
10x1O inches, which extend from the
stone basement directly through the
building. In each school room there
are three rows of cross bridging be-
tween the joists. The timbers used are
all sound and of the largest dimensions
| required. and placed very close together,
so that when completed the Sixth street
schoolhouse will be one of the most sub.
| stantial frame buildings in Washington
| Territory. Some member Of the SchOo
Boafd. in company with competent
builder, visits the structure every few
days to see how the work is progressing
and to make suQgestions,if any occur Il
them. which will add strength TO the
| building. The contractors are also
honorable business men, and wherever
they see the building can be improved
they put in tho additional material
even IL it is not called for in the speci-
fications. Mr.. Palmer, the architect
also has general supervision over the
work. and takes pride in its progress.
"How many nails do you expect the
building will require" asked reporter
of Mr.. Mcdonald, lone Of the contract
ors) yesterday.
"We have already used two tons o.
nails and spikes 30 far, and think abou
ono more ton will finish the job; bu
will put in all that's required il it take
two tons more" was the reply.
"When do You expect 70 have tn
building completely" was the secon(
question ye reporter propounded.
