heavy and expensive machinery It will
be impossible to carry any of the build
ing load on center columns resting oh
the foundation. In order to overcome
this difficulty heavy steel trusses rest
lntc on the massive side and end col
umns will be used to support the- re
enforced concrete of the five stories.
These trusses will extend from the third
to the fourth floor and will form the
base which will carry nearly all the load
Of the five upper stories.
Another feature 01 this nulldlng wnicn
will call for a delicate piece of struc
tural work is the 60 by 100 foot re
enforced concrete floor which will be
put In at the third floor to cover the
machinery In the two lower floors. This
floor will be without support except the
steel reenforclng In the concrete, but no
doubt Is entertained that such a floor
can be laid having: sufficient strength
to carry many times the weight placed
upon it.
Another expensive feature connected
with the construction of this building
will be the removal and replacing of the
hundreds of high voltage wires running
in ana out of tne power plant ana sup
plying the greater part of t
lighting for the company'i
the power and
vast electric
systems. All this work must be done
without Interfering for a moment with
the operation of several hundred street
cars, scores of plants using electricity
for power purposes, and the entire alep
trlc lighting system of this city.
The building is to be known as the
Electric building and will be the most
elaborately lighted structure in the
country. Architect David C. Lewis, a
recognized authority on reenforced con
crete construction. Is preparing the
plans and will have them ready In the
