CONSTRUCTION WORK
WILL Be RESUMED
South Chicago Shipbuilding
Plant Will Be a Busy
Place.
SUPT. TINS GETS THE ORDERS
All Departments Are Being Re-
novated According to Instruc-
tions-Hailed Good News.

All South Chicago is showing I'M
usual signs of hilarity and joyousness
today as the result of an announce
ment made by Supt. H. L. Tins to the
effect that the Chicago Shipbuilding
company would again take up con-
struCtion work at the local plant and
within all probabilities construction
work would be started during the next
few months In fact, construction
work will be started just as soon as
the company gets an order for build
ing from the head office. which is To-
Gated at Cleveland and ii is known
to be fact that several deals are now
pending. and it is believed that if any
of these are landed that at least two
of the jobs will come to the South
Chicago plant.
Plant Closed Some Time Ago.
The Chicago ShipbuiIding company,
which is owned by the American Ship
building company of Cleveland, re-
Gently closed down their mammoth
plant at Bay City Mich. owing to the
small amount of work that was done
and also on account of the poor har-
Dor facilities. With the abandoning
of the Bay city plant the superintend-
ent, H. l. Tins and several of his as
sistants came to South Chicago, where
Mr.. Tins took charge of the work
A few days ago Mr.. Tins received
letter from the Cleveland office no
tifying him to get the plant in readi
ness to take up construction work at
any time as orders would probably be
sent in few weeks
RenOvating the Plant.
In compliance with these orders from
Cleveland, Supt Tim put force of men
to work repairing all departments used
in construction work and by next week
the plant will be in condition to begin
work on a few hours notice
Construction work at the South Chi
cago plant was abandoned over wear
ago and since then only repair work
has been taken in. With the CLOSING
| down of the Michigan plant all orders
from the north will come to the loca
yards. and it is likely that within the
next three months over two thousand
men Will be a work al the plant.
Supt Tim is Very enthusiastic Over
! the chances of taking up work again
and says that with the excellent har
| Dor facilities here the company would
! be able to turn out boats in record
breaking time.
