The difficult engineering feat of
raising intact the roof Of the
south wing of the government
printing Office, measuring almost
half a square in length and one
eighth of a square in width, has
been undertaken in the work of
adding story to the top Of the
building.

under the supports. Six of them
already are laid, and dozens OF
others will be needed beneath the
roof-girders before the roof can
be raised without damage. The
winding of the jacks will be un-
dertaken, it is proposed, through
steam power. 1t will be two
weeks before the final work is
completed which will allow the
roof to be raised.
The raising of the roof in this
