Ihe government work on the East
Side of the island is nearly complet-
! ed. 1t has had men employed here
putting in searchlight of enormous
size for almost a year. The work
was started last season, but due to
The freezing cold and the storms the
men wereT unable to work until the
warmer days or ss,nring. 1t is said
that the searchlight is-Sspne of the
biggest in the country. At the time
OF writing all that was needed~- to
make the light in working order was
the putting in of bulbs and reflec-
tors. The work is being carried on
as speedily as possible and undoubt-
eddy we will soon see it's powerful
rays playing on arched heavens and
the surrounding objects in the harbor.
