THE FOUNDATION

The first work on the new Federal
building was begun, after several de-
lays of a minor character. Yester-
day the ground was broken and from
now on it is hoped that the work will
60 on at a merry clip. A force of
about twelve men is at work, cleaning
up the ground, removing the brick
and the rubbish fro mthe remains Of
the two houses which formerly stood
on the lot. The cellars Of these will
be widened to the cellar for the en-
tire building.
Messrs. Dawson, representatives Of
T. J. Spear, the contractor, of Toledo,
Ohio, are present in the city and are
supervising the work. A small build
ing to be used as an office is being
erected this afternoon. This will be
but a temporary structure, sufficient
for the needs of the contractors. The
first work to be done is the digging of
bitches for the foundation of the
building. This work will be done by
Spears representatives, although the
minor work will be done in all prob
ability by subcontract, awarded to
local contractors The trenches for
the foundation should be completed
and the foundation erected in about
two weeks, if the weather is right.
