The Woodward Iron company is now rushing the completion of the new No. 3 blast furnace at Woodward and it is very probable that it will be ready for the torch to be applied some time next week Work on this new furnace since ground was broken for it's construction has extended through period of over 1.-two years, many obstacles having arisen at different times to delay the work from progressing as rapidly as had been fig ured on when the contract was let. The other two furnaces have been running | continuously until about the middle of last week when the work on the new stack had arrived at the point where | No. furnace had to be closed down in order to make certain gas fue connec- tions, as Nos. and will be connected on the same blowing engine line The company put on a niglW force of i boilermakers in order to get the connec- 1 tions made with dispatch so that they can get all three furnaces running with as little delay as possible It is under 1 stood that No. 1 furnace will soon be 1 torn down and replaced with a larger and more modern type, which when done will greatly increase the output of their plant.
