since that time it has been operated
spasmodically when the stress OF
steel demand compelled intensive
production. The rest of the tract
was leased to gardners. and every
year has been adding to the food

Navigable on One Side.
The Ohio River is navigable on
one side of the island, wicket dams
above and below giving enough
water for the free movement Of
boats and barges at all seasons OF
the year. On the north sde are the
tracks of the Pittsburgh, Ft. Wayne
& Chicago railroad, the northwest
system OF the Pennsylvania lines
west of Pittsburgh. and on the south
side are the tracks of the Pitts
burgh & Lake Erie, the Little
Giant" of the New York Central
system. The corporation also has
railroad on the island which CON
meets with the Central line on the
south side of the river, while a troll
ley line runs from one end to the
other.
In connection with the ordnance
plant. the corporation is TO build
houses for the 10000 or more work
ers who are to be employed. but il
is conceded that not a great many
OF them can be erected on the
island. An entire town, perhaps
two or three, must be built else
where to care for the newcomers.
and this, SO the story goes in Pitts
burgh, the corporation is preparing
to do.
