WOULD (WLEIE OPERATING HOUSE TQ CLEAN WHEAT Need of .Washing j House Is Ex plained. by G. B. Hegardt, En gineer for Dock Commission BUILD ON ADJOINING SITE .Construction of Spread Base for New Operating House. Is Rec ommended; 2 Tons Maximum. - : Completion of the present operating house as a building for the washing of wheat, and the erection , of a . new operating house on an adjoining site, have been proposed , in , the majority report of the cram elevator 'engineers employed by the dock . commission to ". investigate the grain elevator , subsi 1 denee. ' The plan for the bracing of the foundation of the operating . house as proposed by Engineer George Mason, ;tleorge Boschke and Robert Cummlng and Howard Holmes, agrees with the method of sinking steel cylinders and filling them with concrete, aa sug gested' by W. It. Phillips, who,, how , ever, is opposed to building the.1 new house upon the ground suggested ! by . ' his colleagues. . .. . In the erection of the new operating house, it is explained by O. B. He gardt, engineer for the dock coraroto . Hon, that no money will be lost to . the city because of the fact that a house where wheat may be swashed is needed. ' ' " ' Referring to the operating house the majority of the engineers. In a report submitted today to the dock' commis- sion. say : ' : . .-v..v-'v.. J xpesditare Is Advised We suggest that the present operat . 'fcrg house be completed in Its present lo cation, aa a building for the .washing of wheat,, and that, in the completion of this building, care be taken to see that . the load per square foot on the founda tion does not exceed two tons. i "We advise the construction of a new operating house to be located immedi ately west of the present structure, and built upon a spread foundation of such a design as will reduce the load on the foundation to a maximum of two tons to the square foot." Regarding the storage annex the ma jority of the-engineers report aa follows: "The subsidence can be checked by ... compacting the soil around ' the build ing, and we would suggest that 15000 be spent on the northeast corner of the building. ' This may be done by driving piles, and If this is not satisfactory we .suggest that the building be supported on. a spread foundation "to reduce the load per square foot on the foundation to two tons. ; Phillips It Opposed L ' . "The subsidence of the track shed is not sufficient to warrant the expendl- ture of money to stop it, and if the sub sidence of adjoining buildings is stopped, there will be no further subsidence of the track shed." , ' Engineer Phillips opposes any change . in the location of the operating house. He claims that to do this would tie- crease the efficiency of the plant ; and Increase the cost of handling the' grain for all time. New Steamship Launched Seattle, April 7. (I.
