ished yesterday morning Some very fast
work has been accomplished in this under
taking, and the work has been hurried
forward as rapidly as possible, The drst
iron truss frame WIS placed IN position
abC/, two weeks ago, and counting the de-
luys which have been occasioned, only nine
full working days have been employed In
the construction OF this feature of the
sheds.
There remains yet TO be done before the
sheds are ready for the galvanized roohus
which will be used to cover the tracks,
rather big job, that of riveting the bolts
together This VIII require about three
weeks of hard work to accomplish.
As in the other part of the work, only
modern methods viii be employed in the
rivetlng. Most of this work Win be done
by pneumatic hammers, the bolts being
riveted by means Of air pressure. These
are quite powerful over 800 strokes being
made to the minute.
The work of constructing the iron frame
