The main contractors, the J. w. Bishop company, of Providence, have practically finished their work at the Ponemah company's big weaveshed at Taftville, upon which they started ten months ago, the date on which ground was first broken being July "A 1909. The company's men have several days more work on the finishing flooring in the shed but this will be completed by Saturday About the only remaining thing to be done is the construction of the bridges, one at each end of the mill, leading from the road te the shed The pier work fer these is already in and beginning will be made this week on the bridges proper. It is expected that they can be easily finished during next week, and it is stated that the company will in all probability be able to wind up their contract and leave Taftville by Saturday, June 4. Already the principal part of their machinery and material has been shipped away.
 Will Cost s25e,ooo.
 The new weaveshed. like which there are only a very few larger, will cost the Penemah company something over S25o,oG9, 1t is stated. No pains have been spared to make it a thoroughly well constructed building in all partic- ulars.
 The weayeshed is TOO feet long and 2e6 feet wide, with a roof built accord ing to the sawtooth design generally followed in weavesheds to allow the light from the north only to enter There are 9 sections, or teeth in the roof their total length being 673 feet.

Also located in the basement are four con- the top and sunk down five feet to carry the four motors that will furnish power for the looms. All the shafting Is to be located in the basement. which is II feet in height and amply lighted The floor is at present earth.
 14e,Gee Square Feet of Flooring.
 The weaveshed floor is of three thicknesses of planking laid diagonally Resting on the supporting columns is the main ioer of five-inch Florida vel low pine. Above this is the intermedi- I ate floor of seven -eighths inch North Caroline pine, and the top floor is seven eighths inch hard maple. The blanks are laid diagonauy to withstand vibration. There remains only about 3e, 600 square feet of maple flooring to be laid out of a total of over 14o,0o8 square feet.
 The roof of the building is made of concrete, reinforced with expanded | metal. It is stated that it is the third 1 and the biggest weaveshed to be built l with a concrete roof in the country, l the other two being in New Bedford, | and were built by the Bishop company. l

in a considerable strain due to uneven expansion. The New Bedford mills thus built are standing the test sue cessfully however. The concrete is four inches thick and is covered with an eight-ply tar and gravel roof, fin- ished with slag- The gutters. etc, are copper. The roof is upheld by 20inch main bearing beams supported on the main bearing columns at intervals of 24 feet six inches between centers. Into these beams fit 15-inch steel beam rafters 2S feet inches long. and placed at intervals of 10 feet between centers. The rafters have a pitch of four and one-half inches to the foot.
 5000 Tons of Concrete in Roef.
 The weight carried by these beams may be judged from the fact that 300e tons of concrete were poured into the roof, besides the expanded metal and other material. Another indication of the size of the building is the fact that over a million and quarter brick were used in it's construction The window ledges are of granite.
 In the roof there are 66 ventilators three for each sawtooth, each 30 inches in diameter, which are opened and closed by cords from the floor of the weaveshed. The windows of the roof extend the length of each section. The window glass is IT by 80, double glazed, with heavy ribbed pane on the out side and plain pane on the inside. Six sashes in the middle of each tooth are opened and closed by an operating device controlled from the floor, giving
