REVENUE BUILDING
PROGRESS STEADY
But Engineers Continue to
Encounter Artesian
Wells. .,t.

Exterior foundation walls for the new
Internal Revenue Building south OF the
Post ONCE Department will be started
this week. A number of pier caps have
been placed and engineers said ycster-
day that $500 piles of the nearly 8,ooo
to be driven have been hammered
down.
The pile driving is expected to be
completed by october / and the placing
of the concrete will be done about
November l. Despite the fact that rains
have held back the work somewhat, en-
gineers declared that progress Is at the
expected mark at this time.
A:cesian wells continue to be en-
countered in the progress of pile drN-
ing, as the pile shells puncture the
crust of water bearing gravel. En-
gineers explained that there is no
thought of utilizing the water in the
structure. The possibility of contamina-
ton during construction operations is
a deterring factor and the water, which
has proved mystery to engineers, may
contain mineral salts and require
softening that might render it unfit for
use. Then, too, pumping equipment
would have to be installed, which would
entail additional expense.
The District has supply OF pure
water, the engineers said, and in any
event, the Federal Government is not
required to pay for its water supply
Accordingly, the District can supply all
the water needs for the new building
without tapping natures supply below
One of the wells encountered yester-
day produced several hundred gallons
minute, but as IS customary in such
cases, it was Immediately sealed by
making water tight the pile shell which
caused the water to burst forth. Later
concrete will be poured in, thus Gaping
the potential well. Some of the con-
crete for the foundation walls has beer
poured and there are hundreds of meta
walking sticks" waiting to- be put In
place to make the foundations more
sturdy.

Capt. Doyle declared that he inter-
viewed all the parties to the complaint
and found that they could not identify
the officer en- the beat as the man seen
peering into their bedroom windows,
and he is convinced that the mans
story that he was summoned to the
apartment Thursday by an unidentified
man in taxicab is true.
The description given of the prowler
does not tally with the appearance of
the policeman in question, he declared
The officer is married and has two chill
