The contract price to be paid by the
city for the work is $780, 00. this in

is only a small portion Of the money
which is being spent. All Of the blocks
affected contained many old buildings.
most of which have been demolished.

buildings, some large Office structures
being planned.
Giant steam shovels are used to take
out the dirt in the district. A great
part Of this dirt was taken to the north
side. where many streets were raised.
some OF them as much as twelve feet
high. This does away with floods in
that part Of the city. Many Of the bet
ter buildings were raised to meet the
new level. AS soon as these streets
were filled the dirt was then taken to
the Try street yards Of the Pan Handle
railroad and dumped through a huge
platform into cars. It vas then haul
ed away and is being used by the rail-
road for filling purposes.
In the streets of the hump district
are the sewers and water mains, the
mains Of the three gas companies, the
wires in conduits OF two telephone
companies. the police and fire alarm
systems and the wires of one electric
light concern. On the surface of the
streets were the single and double
tracks of the Pittsburgh Railways
company. All Of these companies have
