SALT LAKERS GET
NEWHOUSE JOB
Local Contractors Will Finish
Interiors of Lower Main
Street Skyscrapers.
MANY CARS OF MAHOGANY
OTHER MEN HERE SUCCESSFUL
IN BIDDING.

Salt Lake contractors are meeting
with great success in competing with
large outside concerns for important
work here.
Through A. c. Mack, vice president
and manager, the Sierra Nevada Mill
company has secured the contract for
the interior woodwork of the two New
house skyscrapers at Main street and
Exchange place. The cost of this work
will be about 500, 900:
President A. B. Lynn, of the Sierra
Nevada company, is now in Chicago at
tending to matters in connection with
the completing of the Newhouse con-
tr1ct.
Both of the eleven-story Newhouse
buildings are to be finished in mahog-
any. To accomplish this. about seven
teen carloads of mahogany will be
shipped hither. 1t will be the largest
single shipment of that variety of wood
ever brought to the west, and VIII equal
the entire amount of mahogany now in
use in Salt Lake. In other words, as
much mahogany will be shipped to Salt
Lake for the Newhouse blocks as has
been shipped during the last thirty
years.
Workmen employed by the Sierra Ne
vada company will begin active OPP
erations upon the building tomorrow
| morning. Some preliminary work has
already been done.
1t is expected that most of the Offices
in the building will be ready for ten
| ants by next fall. The contract calls
for the completion of all the interior
| work before JAN l.
Is New Departure.
The taking of the Newhouse contract
| Is a new departure for the Sierra Ne
| vada company. In the past the COM
pany has furnished the manufactured
lumber and allowed others to put it in
place. In this case, the company will
both furnish the material and place it.
| The steel work of the Newhouse build
| inSs is now all in place and the outer
stone walls are above the eighth floor.
For Electric Equipment.
The T. G. Allen Electrical company
| of 12S State street, of which George E.
Russell is superintendent, mas secured
the contracts for putting in the cleo
trical equipments of the Oregon Short
Line depot, the Auerbach theatre and
the Administration building of the Nor
mon church. Electricians of the Allen
company have already commenced upon
| the Administration building and work
will be started upon the Auerbach the
atre and the Oregon Short Line depot
when construction upon these buildings
| is more advanced.
| J. H Britain a few days ago secured
| the main contract for the construction
of the Auerbach theatre. Other con-
| tractors have secured other important
pieces of work in similar open compe-
tition with bidders from other places.
