Another cargo of piling from the east ar
rived at the GAINESVILLE bridge wharf yester
day. Pile driving is still going on at the site |
of the new electric light factory. When the |
work is completed 800 piles will have been |
driven. The site consists of made land. and
in most cases the piles go down into the !
earth very easily. 1t will give foundation |
that will last a long time, as 1t is claimed |
that the piles will never decay and will last
for hundreds of years. Upon the top of the
piles masonry will be laid. A considerable
quantity of brick is now on the ground. The
foundation for the new building has to be
very secure, as the vibrations from the dyna-
mos and the driving machinery would exert
big strain. For the foundations of the big
storehouse of the Old Colony Distilleries Co.,
now closed in, $50 piles were driven. This is
very long building some two hundred feet in
length, two stories, with capacity for storing
rs 900 barrels of spirits. The timbers and
plates of the roof are al ranged so that the
| roof can be raised and the capacity of the
building much increased whenever it be-
| comes necessary.
The city portion of the Grand avenue
| bridge has been replanked, and the horse
| railroad is now replanking between the
tracks. During portion of the work 1t was
necessary to stop the cars on the bridge and
run no further. It would seem that the
city and town should plank the entire bridge
at one and the same time, so that travel
need not be interrupted SO often. If the
bridge could be paved like the new Barnes
vile bridge that would be better still.
The old wooden front Of the car house of
the F. 81. & w. 81. r. R. Co. has been moved
| some twenty feet forward on line with the
new brick barn, and the space in the rear
connecting with the remainder of the car
house is being built up of wood. If the COM
pany had built up this front of brick. max
ing it continuous with the new building, 1t
J would have formed big Improvement.
Il The Smelling of the oyster beds continues
, | uninterruptedly. Thursday afternoon eight
; sloops and small schooners and several other
craft moored between the Quinnipiac and
the Grand avenue bridges were loading with
shells.
