Break Building Records.
Records for rapid construction of
buildings in the large cities of this
country. especially in New York, have
repeatedly been bSoken by the John
H. Parker Company. and it is prom
ised by William A. Campbell, vice
president of the company, that another
record will be broken in the rapid
construction of the Interior Depart
ment building. Despite the immensely
of the building he declares that it
will be completed before December 81.

Washington firms and individuals. and
he added that he had also favored Wash

at ali times in the construction work.
These subcontraCtors subsequently
praised Mr. Dali and his work To The
Herald representative. and they are par
ticularly pleased that all OF the men en-
ployed. ranging at various times fronS

which probably accounts for the fact
that the work has gone ahead with the
least friction. This harmony and team
work. as it were. will enable tho
VIM Dali Company to have the school
building ready for occupancy by Janu-
AIRY /. 1916 which Is some time earlier
than the contract calls for.
In every particular and form of con-
struction this building reflects tremen-
dous credit on those who are engaged In
the work and Washington will soon have
a high school building surprising in
completeness and magnifcence any IN

Low Bid Wins Contract.
Contract for the construction work
was awarded the John H. Parker
Company. noted contractors and build
ers OF national reputation, 315 Fourth
avenue. New York City, the amount of
the bid being over $1,000. 900. Other
bids for the equipment of the build
ing as well as the bid of the Parker
company were so low the government
will probably save 100000. or more,
on the S2.5OO.OOO appropriated by Con-
gress for the work. The legal inter-
ests OF the company in Washington
have been managed by Bynum E. Hin
ton. attorney Of this city.
Tremendous contracts for the con-
struction of costly and important
buildings in this country and in
Canada have heretofore been dis
charged satisfactorily by the Parker
company and even sls00,OOO con-
tract. such as that connected with the
construction of the new Interior De-
partment building. does not tax their
capacity or ability in the least. 1t
is of interest to note that this COM
pany also has the contract for the
of the Mckinley Memorial
at Niles, Ohio, a patriotic task that
will place the name of the John H
Parker Company on the pages of his
tory.
