Local Lumber Company Get
Large Contract For Piling
According to an announcement
from the office of Murphy & Hayes
Co., a local lumber company, they
have started to work on one of the
largest contracts for piling ever re-
ceived by the company. In order to
complete the contract it is necessary
to sub-let much of the york and
nearly every shipper of l\Ys or
props on the Peninsula is working
on the contract. The project where
the piles are being used is around
Staten Island and New Yoi~ and is
said to require between fifty and
sixty thousand. The local company
will furnish $4,000. This huge con-
tract will mean plenty of work for
pilnng shippers for some time.
