Outside FORK Delayed by Weather but Contractors Have
Made Good Progress Interiors.

Winter weather for the past few
weeks has put stop to outside work
on the several building construction
JOBS in the city, but the interior work
mas been rushed forward wherever
possible. With the comm of milder
weather it is expected to resume out
side work soon. one of these jobs which
has been standing idle being the new
Chelsea Savings bank building at the
corner OF Main and Cliff streets Con-
tractor G. Morgan Williams has had
men this week doing a little picking
up at the site, and probably in a week
they viii get ready to pour the first
floor, which is to be of concrete. The
stone for the building is all out so
that as soon as the first floor is poured
the building will rise rapidly.
Shannon Buildings.

saiamanders have been used since the
window sashes have been put in and
the partitions and clustering on the
first, second and third Office floors has
been advanced A fine grade of plas-
tering is in use, giving a finish almost
like marble. The first office floor, Mr..
Shannon had hoped to have finished by
the first of April. so that tenants could
occupy the Offices but he said Tues
day that he did not know whether this
would be possible. He thought il would
be July 1 before the Reid & Hughes
company would occupy the store The
Sl6dm plplllS has DSeu placed
through the building. The work on
finishing the offices will be pushed as
fast as possible. At his new bachelor
hotel on the corner of Market and
Water street it has not been possible
to do anything for some time, as it
was all outside work, and the men
have all been put to work at the Shan
non building.
Thames Bank.
The new Thames bank building on
Shetucket street is held up just at the
present time by the non-arrival of
