PROGRESS ON DEPOT FILL
OVER 100000 CUBIC YARDS ARE
DUMPED INTO RIVER
In Six Weeks the New Shore Line
VIII Be Ready for Tracks
and New Build
ingS.

Two hundred and twenty-five thousand
cubic yards of earth and sand have been
dumped into the river on the property
which is being reclaimed by the Union
Depot company, and only about $4,000
cubic yards remain to be put in. This
will occupy about six weeks, according
to the union depot engineers, who are
also authority for the statement that
only one of the Milwaukee road freight
sheds will be moved entire. This will be
the frame structure which is situated
to the east of the large stone freight
house. 1t has been decided that it will
be too expensive an undertaking to move
the latter and the foundations for the
building which is to take Its place are
being laid. The present shed will be
used until the new one is finished and
will then be torn down. The Diamond
Joe freight houses are also to be moved,
and the wharves in use at present will be
filed in, Work on this portion of tae fill
is being left over to the last so that the
running of the boats may not be inter
fered with.
The channel Of the river has been
greatly deepened by the constant removal
of sand from the bed of the stream, and
it has been suggested that if the Mil
Waukee road continues the fill below the
Broadway pier level with the present
will be greatly facilitated by affording
a uniformly deep channel sufficient to
Accommodate all demands that may be
made upon 1t.
The Union Depot company's fill sheers
in toward the bank just below the first
pier, as there are no buildings to be put
up below that point, but the Milwaukee
road can, if it will. continue the filling
on the same straight line as far as
Phalen creek, and by this means acquire
some valuable yard property.
AS soon as the fill has reached the re-
quired level, four passenger and two
transfer tracks will be added to those
already in use by the depot company,
and the train sned will be extended to
cover them.
The company appropriated half a
million dollars approximately, to cover
the cost Of the improvements, and of
this considerably more than half has
already been expended on the filling
operations and the piling for the founda-
tions of the buildings which are to be
put up.
The contractors are proceeding at about
the scheduled rate and by the end of
October the most of the work will have
been finished.

PAVING MAY BE DELAYED
OWNERS WANT THAT OF SEVENTH
STREET HELD UP.

The board of public works still has I'M
der consideration the proposed macadam-
izing of East Seventh street from Hope
to Atlantic, though rumor has it that
they have about decided TO award the
contract to James ForrestaI & Co.. who
ask 500 745 for the work.
The amount is within few thousand
dollars of equaling the cost of more
substantial paving, and already a kick is
coming from the property owners, which.
it is thought, will have its effect on the
council to the extent of hanging up the
work In this event the approval of
the contract would be refused and a new
order for either brick or asphalt sent to
the board.
