many different groups Of workmen on
the building as possible.
AS quickly as the steel framework has
risen above the ground the masons re-
port on still another time table to begin
the doorways and other details of the
base. The complicated plants of boilers
and engines meanwhile must be placed
in position and all this must be nicely
arranged after the time the foundations
are ready to receive them and before
the rapidly rising steel construction
shuts off the entrance without delay
ing the general progress.
The walls Of these towering struc-
lures again must be hung upon the in
terror skeleton at the earliest possible
moment. The bricklayers or masons
work upon long platforms suspended
from the steel structure IS soon as the
frame will bear them, and a special
time table must be arranged for their
work.
Each load. brick or stone or wood.
must arrive Just in the nick Of time.
The length Of time required by each
group Of workmen Is so carefully cal
culated that the builders can tell the
day and hour when other workmen may
be engaged to report to take their
places. The same system applies to the
finishing and decorating Of the great
structure. So accurate is this time
table that even before the frs, blow
is struck DEFINITE agreements may be
made with tenants stating the day and
hour when they may take posses sion.

hours in finishing a detail OF the work
will mean a serious loss OF time and
money.
The work OF digging the foundations,
for instance. and the use OF the great
caissons which must be employed are
laid out with the same accuracy.
Drillings are made OF the earth or
rock to be cut away and the time re-
auired for the work is calculated to the
hour.
The most serious problem is encoun-
tered OF course when the actual work OF
construction begins. In arranging the
time table from now on it Is necessary to
calculate how long every detail of the
construction will take. There Is no room
for storing the steel Orders and other
material used in construction. 1t must
arrive just at the hour the workmen
will be ready to receive II.
Much OF the material must be brought
from great distances. When hundreds
OF skilled workers are employed delay

have the materials arrive ahead OF
