POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.
Postmaster General Gary Will Recon-
mend Them,

Washington, Sept. 16.-Postmaster
General Gary is devoting considerable
attention these days to an investigation
Of the wisdom of establishing postal saw
ings banks. When in the last Congress
bill was sent to him providing for such
institutions he declined to indorse it be-
cause, as he said, he had not had an op-
portunity to investigate the subject.
He has since taken up the matter,
reading all the literature. bearing upon it
he could procure and seeking opportunity
to discuss its merits with those familiar
with it. The result is that he has be.
come convinced of both the wisdom and
the utility of postal savings institutions
aud has decided to have bill prepared
providing for their establishment and to
recommend it's passage to Congress In
all probability he will treat the subject
IN his annual report at some length. He
has not yet decided upon the details Of
any plan, bur will soon give his attention
TO them

The Plasterinq Work.

The contractor for the plastering of
the Claus Spreckels building and the
power house was Thomas Mannix,
with office and residence at 50S15 Fell
street. The work has been done in a
most workmanlike manner under the
constant personal attention of Mr..
ManniX, who has employed steadily for
four or five months from thirty to forty
of the most skilled workmen of the
city. About $4,000 square yards of sur
face have been covered with plaster
and the finished walls show careful
and conscientious work. Notwith-
standing the fact that the work has
been attended with unusual difficulties
by reason of the buildings height, it
is pronounced an unqualified success.
The plaster used is the brand known
as Nefi, admittedly the best on the
market, while the surface finish is plas-
ter of paris or lime putty.

The Excavations.

o,.e of the most perpleXing as well
as important engineering problems en-
countered in the preliminarieS for the
construction of the building was the
excavations for a foundation OF sum
cier.t extent to support the super
structure that was to rest thereon
Owing to the sliding sand, the work
of excavating was not only arduous
but hazardous. In order to protect ao-
Joining property it was necessary 10
construct solid bulkheads, until at
depth of 251a feet solid earth was
reached.
This was not the only difficulty en-
countered. Within thirteen inches OF
the Third street bulkhead lay one Oh
the largest mains of the Spring valley
Water Company and the slightest set
Ting of the ground at that point would
have caused a break that meant the
flooding of the adjoining streets. 80
slIillfully and with such care was the
work prosecuted under the personal dl-
rection of the contractor, Mr.. A T.
Buchanan, of this city. that not the
slightest mishap marred the undertak-
ing. and it stands as a signal engineer
ing accomplishment. The work has
ELECTED for him much cOmmendation
from those who know the difficulties
encountered.

The Sidewalk Lidhts.

An important feature of the great
structure is the illumination of the
basement under the sidewalk, the ar
rangements for which are the work of
+. II. Jackson & Co., 22S-23O First
street. A large area of the sidewalk
mas been fitted with Ingalls, patent re-
fracting lenses that alternate with plain
convex lenses. The ingalls, lenses re-
celve the light from above and re-
tract the rays at an angle of As de-
grees to the darker portions of the
basement, while the alternating plain
lenses receive ard emit the light in q
downward direction.
The use of these Illuminating side
walk lights in Eastern cities has
proved most profitable to the owners
OF valuable buildings for the reason
that dark easements heretofore consid-
cred useless are now readily rented for
mercantile purposes. These modern
sidewalks are waterproof and capable
of sustaining 400 pounds to the square
foot. The lenses are set in peculiar cor
rugated galvanized (to prevent rusD
steel bottoms, and are then filed in
with artificial stone in plastic state.

Concrete
Foundations
Floors.

The foundations of concrete and the
floors of the same material in the oulid-
ing were the work of Gray Brothers
the we'll known artificial stone paving
and concrete contractors of 316 Mont
gomery street. This firm does a very
extensive business along the coast anu
in the business community of san
Francisco it ranks among the highest
The firm has been established about 10
years and in that time 1t has con-
structed hundreds of miles of canals
in Southern California besides dong
the concrete work in many of the best
known buildings in the city. Among
the more recent contracts may De
mentioned the laying of the concrete
foundation for the new ferry depot,
the most extensive contract of its KIND
on record. In that work nearly 4O,OOO
yards of concrete were laid.
GRAY Brothers operate two Quarries
in this city, one on Telegraph Hill, the
other at Twenty sixth and Douglass
streets. The output of these quarries
is the blue and gray trap-rock, which
is recognized by the city and Federal
authorities as the best material for
| concrete that can be procured any
where. Some years ago, when an ef-
fort was made to introduce red rock
as a paving material in this city, this
firm demonstrated the unftness of that
material for the desired purpose so
| conclusively that the Supervisors de
cided to use only such as could stand
the rattler test No other material
save that quarried by Gray Brothers
could undergo the test, and the result
has been the continued use of their
material ever since. All the stone used
in the Park Lodge, as well as that in
the vast foundations now in process of
construction, was supplied from the
Gray Brothers Quarriea.
The motto of the firm has always
been and still is, quick and satisfactory
service, be the contract large or small.
They employ an army OF men, all OF
whom are residents of this city. Their
branch offices are located at 205 New
High street, Los Angeles; 230S Encinal
avenue, Alameda, and 46S Tenth street,
Oakland.

The Massive Stone Work.

Perhaps the most difficult as well as
dangerous labor performed on the
building was the stone work. Ordin-
arily this is simply accomplished, but
the great height and the necessity of
placing stone not only on the street
fronts, but side lines as well, made the
undertaking a most hazardous one, and
it was accomplished without a single
accident. The contract for the stone
work was awarded to the McGilvray
Stone Company and the work carried
out by John D. McGilvray, its presi-
dent and general manager.
The stone used in the Claus Spreck-
els building came from Yaquina, Or,
in rough blocks, and the modelling,
carving and cutting were done at the
yards of the company on King street,
between Second and Third streets. Mr..
McGilvray believes in the home indus
try principle, and as a result all the
machinery employed in cutting the
stone was made in this city, giving
thereby employment to many local
artisans The appearance Of the build
ing, which will be admired by genera
tions to come, is an admirable exam
pie of native industry and skill, in both
of which the employees Of the McGil-
vray Stone Company certainly excel.
