within sovoral weeks It will prob
ably bo finished. Tho cross-beams
supporting the floor were In poor

tlcally rotted through.

full basement and tho coM bins
will bo adjacout tu tho engine room,
saving much labor carrying coal
ovor CO feet. Retaining walls are
bolng built around thn foundation
of tho .vault to prevent Its settling
nnd an additional vault will bo
built at the. foot of the stairs to
store tlioso records which need not
always be available.
By constructing a basement un
der tho onllro building it Is ux
pocled to prevent further rot ot
