The material Is to be used in the
new abattoir building. Contrasts have
also been let for machinery For the
plant delivery will begin as soon as
q, siding has been comp.eted.''
An inspection of the site itself gives
one the best idea of the magnitude Of
xhe proposed plant.
Excavations have been made for al
most enough foundations to build an
other shipyard. An immense mass CT
dirt has been dug out Of the ground
and carted. over the bank, which is be.
ing filled in and leveled off. These ex-
cavatfons have been practically all
completed for the larger buildings ana
are about ready for the masonry.
These sites are all located on the
soathside of the creek. A force is etil;
ct work on them. and, it is understood.

1t is understood that Capt w H.
French has removed one or more Of the
car trucks and has either permission or
orders to remove the tanks if he has to
blow them up. It is further reported,
though no one appears willing to vouch
for it, that Captain French has had it
intimated to him that if he will recover
cars and tanks or either he will be gen

wage, though it appears that no order
direct has been given. as all parties are
aware that to claim the property in it's
present position and order its removal
might be to assume liability for its be-
ing there and the damage it has been
responsible for.
The cases growing out of the coli.sio
