He removed to New Haven in 1885 and went into the employ of the Whitney armory in Wnitneyville. Twelve years later he and William schollhorn became partners and en- gagged in the machinist business under the name of scholhorn & Pheghar After four years Mir. Pffeghar with drew and in company with McLagon & stevens, went into the lock making business under the style of the Union Lock Go. After a time this company was dissolved and MT. -Pheghar went into business for himself. He devoted his energies specially to the making of hardware speclalties and tools. The business developed into larger propor- tlons and to-day is one of the leading
 firms of It's kind in this vicinity. It is interesting to note incidentally that these two men, Schollborn and Pfeg- har. once partners and each branching into different lines, have to-day fac tories of wide and worthy fame. Mir Pheghar's new factory is an ideal es- tablishment

 Reinforced concrete construction has been adopted by many of the leading railroads in the country, a notable ex- ample being t1e new vladuct and gird- CT bridges recently completed for the Richmond & Chesapeake Bay Railroad Cn.

 the auditorium ir I.rs Angeles where
 the roof girdcls are of concrete and have clear spaa ofS112 feet. Although concrete is adaptable tc many forms of structures, it is more efficient and has been more highly de | veloped in connection with the building
