he Raised Into Place.
Work on the City Hall has now
been completed almost to the top of
the third story above Bay street.
There is still another story to be
added before the roof is reached, so it
will be seen there is a great deal yet
to be done. And even after the ex-
terror of the building is finished it
will take a long time to complete the
inside work.
Progress on the building has been
very rapid recently, however. The two
big columns that are to adorn the
front of the building will be raised
into place within the next few days. A
special derrick is being constructed for
this purpose, and it is now almost en-
tirely finished. The placing of the
columns will be one of the hardest
pieces of work in connection with the
construction of the building.
