crusher, which has been set up and
will have the task of grinding up the
mountain of rock that has been piled
up alongside the excavation. Mate
rails are being hauled daily, and stor-
ed ready for use as needed, so that
delays caused by tardy shipments may
be avoided.
Even the most skeptical observers
are beginning to admit that the build
ing is actually going to be built, and
that it will get a big start this fall.
II nothing unforeseen interferes, there
is no reason why the cornerstone
should not be laid, as planned, early
in December.
Among the most interested observ-
ers of the progress of the work are
the boys from school, who pass by
daily to see how nearly done is the
swimming pool They are already en-,
joying, IN anticipation, the fun that
will be theirs in reality merit year, in
pool and gymnasium and game rooms
The big excavatio nwhere the pool is
to be constructed is a center of at
traction. just as it will be when 1t has
been completed, and the boys come in
for their swim.
The boys are not the only ones who
are watching the growth of the build
ing with interest. Hundreds Of men
and women pass the site daily, look
ing with interest at the efforts being
made TO hurry the work. The Y. NJ
c. A. is rich in its good friends in
this city, who. having made possible
the erection Of the building, are now
looking forward to its usefulness
when completed.

"This is one of the greatest fcats in history. or, in fact. in this
