making pretty appearance. while the side

iron beams running clear up to the top
floor Although the height is great and the
danger to the workmen imminent. nc acci-

urged by the constructors
Since the cars have been running up to
the new building the jam which was con-
spicuous at 32d and NJ streets has bean
transferred to the Aqueduct bridge en-

this point. and the shifting of the, cars
partly blocks up the way, but the greatest
obstruction Of vehicles is the combination
OF the cars and the occupancy of one en-
tire side of the street with material for
the construction of the new depot. The
country people who come in town over the
bridge and the Canal road find a good deal
of bother in passing and where possible
they go out Of their way and come in via
the New Cut road.
