 halted until weather permits con- tinuance of the work, according to A. N. Severln, president of the N. .P. Saverin Company of Chicago,
 who arrived in Juneau yesterday on the Northwestern.

Severin said, in spite of adverse weather conditions so far. Although snowfall does not seriously hamper the work, low temperatures m ke 1t practically impossible to accomplish any ma terial progress, while the present of heavy snowfall and cold weather have necessitated ces- sation of all work until a change occurs.
 As soon as the winter is over and t is possible to continue on a large scale, sub-contractors will come north to take care of their part in he construction, MT Severin said Structural steel, of which about sixty tons are to be used, will come north in Q short time.
