will be used to cut material for a
building for the new plant The build

expected to be out of employment
when the mill was destroyed are be-

working in clearing away the debris
and will later work in rebuilding the
plant, while large numbers are at work

fill its contracts for the present, or

amount to S1,000,00O. The loss
is partly covered by insurance.
