TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION OF
COOKEVILLE'S FED
ERAL BUILDING
Now that our roof framing is in
place and riveted and our IS foot fag
pole erected, it can honestly be said
that the construction work on the new
Federal courthouse and post Office in
Cookeville is well under way and the
interested public can get an idea at
this time about what the finished pro-
ject will present at completion peri
cd. Within five days we will have
completed our concrete roof slabs,
which will complete all the reinforced
concrete work on the job and incident
ally permit us to proceed without in
terruption due to inclement weather
conditions, as this slab work, even un-
protected by finished roofing. assures
us practically a water tight cover to

ual noises from other parts Of the
building will not penetrate annoyingly
into its interior. This treatment, 1t
may be remarked, is quite feature
in itself, in our federal court work.
Needless to say. this courtroom will
present the latest and best obtainable.
