reception Of walls, piers. etc

a trench for a center wall in a large
city block misread the directions and
got the excavation a foot deeper than
the specifications called for The con

brought the bottom up TO the depth

building was completed and accepted

months the center wall settled to
crack the plaster on every wall in the
house clear to the third story.
