E A ESTATE NEWS.

contractor Connolly, VINO d1d the pH1ng
work for the new City Hall, has practically
completed his part of the work. He has still
to drive a half dozen piles, on which the
foundation for the front stoop will be built,
and then he will move his machinery from
the scene. Mr.. Connolly has made money
on his contract, but the work he has done
satisfies Mayor Wanser and the City
Hall Commissioners. The piles used
obtai nable and were driven down as far as
it was possible to drive them, so far, in fact,
that t here exists no fear of the building
settling to such IN extent as to crack the
walls.
Contractor English. who is doing the
mason work and furnishing the lime stono,
is remarkably well advanced. and the out
lines of the handsome building are now
traceable. Mr.. English, under the pro
visions of his contract, was not to begin
work until tune L. Owing to the quick
work of Contractor Connolly Mr.. English
has been enabled to complete the foundation
walls. On these walls there is always more
or less delay, but Mr.. English experienced
none. Not only has he completed the foun-
datlon walls. but on the southern end, or
Henderson street end of the building, the
granite water table has been set and one
story of the limestone placed in position and
backed by a 20-inch brick wall. The beams
of the first floor of the south wing have been
placed in position and a dozen or more win
dow frames built in. The progress made so
far is remarkable. Tn remainder of the
limestone to be used in the building is dressed
and ready to be set. The only thing that will
prevent the roof from being on the building
by OCTOBER is a strike OF all the labors
unions. A pleasant thing, which many
property owners have noticed, is that it is al
most impossible even at this time to drive a
nail in the cement joints of the foundation
x.ilo IT, xuo IL a mo oracra vyot and within a
month to drive a nail into them will be i'm
possible. So far everything bids fair to a
magnificent structure being erected.
