WRECK|NG
COMPANY
BUYS PLANT

The Hammond wrecking company in
which deputy city treasurer, william
Kolb, and c. f. Brueckner are the
principals, this week closed negotiations
with the G. H. Hammond company for
another one of the remaining buildings
of the old plant. The building which
is known as the hog house." is one
of the largest in the city, being FIVE
stories in heighth and 400 by ESQ feet
in it's other dimensions. The Hammond
Wrecking company intends to raze as
soon as possible and to use the salvage
material in 1t for building purposes.
In addition to this building the COM
pany also bought three frame resi-
dence buildings near the old plant on
Beliview place, and the outbuildings
and fences belonging thereto. Two of
these buildings will in all probability
be moved, while one will be razed.
After the hog house" is razed. only
three of the main buildings of the old
plant remain, the lard refinery building
occupied by the Indiana Harbor Belt
Storage company. the sausage factors
occupied by the Hammond Hay Storage
| & Forwarding company and the old
store-house occupied by the Chaplin Co.
The Hammond Wrecking company
also has a number of other contracts
pending and will in all probability buy
a storage yard for its material, as II
expects to branch out considerably in
the building line this yaer. The Ham
mond Wrecking company also had the
contract for the old St. Joseph's church
parsonage. 1t was this same company
which wrecked the other buildings OF
the G. H. Hammond Co. which were
torn down last year.
