The evening times. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1895-1902, 1902-09-26

The steady downpour of rain today
afforded a temporary respite to the coal
dealers OF the city. who have been con
stantly bcsieged with a half panic
stricken crowd clamortng for fuel that
could not be supplied them. IN the scgeT
thought OF the temporary luIl several Of
the most prominent dealers stated that
they we're beginning TO realize that even
at the best the situation is most alarm
ing.
Il is feared that it may be a matter
4 OF several months before coal in any
quantity reaches the eity. Many OF the
mines are flooded with water, and the
machinery is rapidly deteriorating from
rust and other causes.
When the word 10 start UP is given
it is said that it will probably take sew
/ eral weeks at the best to put the mines
in condition for operation. It would b.
week or ten days more before coal
would begin TO move. and even then it
could only be in limited quantities. All

stocks everywhere have been exhausted.

Conservative dealers in Washington

Tion that 1t will be necessary TO tide

THE NEW LIBRARY
Work on the Foundations OF the Build
ing Progressing Rapidly.

Work on the foundations OF the new
library building Is progressing rapidly
under the direction of Charles e. Paige
Of Rutland. who secured the contract.
This is the first work done by Mr.. Paige in
Burlington, although he has erected many
buildings in other parts of the state. at
present several teams and number OF
men arc grading and digging, preparatory
to laying the cement filling upon which
the foundations will rest. The first layer
will be about ~ inches thick and the sec
ord about eight inches thick. On top Of a
portion Of that will be stones. This will
secure a splendid preparation for the toun-
dations of the building
An idea of where the building will be To-
Gated can now be had. The side facing
College street occupies distance of about
10 feet and is far enough from the side
walk to afford a pretty lawn, which viii
he extended along Winooski avenue. Just
how much work will be accomplished this
fall depends entirely upon the weather.
