for the first few months.t
A large concrete wall Is now, under
construction on the. Arnett lot on Mer.
chant street. Tons Of dirt have been
hauled from this territory to be used
in filling along the 'right.of.way. The
wall Is being placed against % great
precipice bordering on the lot next to
the Arnett lot, The purpose Of the
wall is TO prevent the embankment
from caving. ~
The process of water.proofing the
Newton street elevated transway is
on. Several layers Of paper and pitch
are placed on top of the concrete.
Over these layers are placed several
feet Of sand and pitch. This covering
will prevent water from damaging the
under steel, and from falling on the
street under the tracks.
