New Castle. April 2s.-operations are
now being pushed forward rapidly at
the new steel plants in this city,
At the Baldt plant a large force OF
men and teams are employed removing
dirt from the south side Of the building
and depositing it around the founda-
tions on the north side. A force OF
bricklayers are engaged in erecting the
outer walls. One OF the electric cranes
is on the ground. and others are ex-
pected to arrive within a short time.
Since the weather has settled the men
are able to work to much greater ad-
vantage as the ground has settled and
Is easier to handle.
Operations at BryIson Plant.
Operations at the Brylgon plant are
now taking definite shape. One OF the
electric cranes is placed in position and
the work OF erecting the furnaces is
well under way. Contractor Hance has
a force Of men busy putting on the
sheeting which has been delayed for
several weeks. and consequently de-
layed that branch OF the operations.
There remains much work to be done
yet before the plants are ready to start
up.
Finishing the sluee.
The concrete work OF the sluice in the
dyke is now nearing completion and
will be ready for filling in In a few
days. Operations were delayed on this
work for several months on account OF

doned until spring and freezing tenn
lperature had given way to warm wea-
ther, which would not interfere with
the mixing OF the cement.
