in a construction way anal is running
pretty well ,ahead of schedule, Doug-
las McQiuistan, superintendent for"
Parker Construction Company, gen-
eral contractors, informed The Newt.
Record today. Any delay is being
caused by shortage of cement.
Foundations. for 83 of the houses
have been excavated, and of these,
18 foundations have been poured. The
excavating shovel is expected back
this week to complete this feature of
the work.
Three houses on Huron ,Street, in
the westerly section of the town, axe
all ready for wall ereetion, and
others -already have joists and sub-
floors. TEC everything is ready, it is
esbirmated that it takes ,three days
to erect walls until ,the roof is put,
on,
Houses Pre -fabricated
The prime reason for this speed
is that elle houses are 75 per cent
pre -fabricated. This part of the job
is accomplished in a large ,field across
from C. H. Epps' pump factory,
where a large gang of men do no.
thing else but make wall eeebions,
etc. These are then delivered to ,the
various sites and erected. Robert Mc-
Kenzie is foreman of the prefabri-
cation work.
At the ,present time, ,the entire
staff for the project eonsists'of about
45 men, who 'comae from Goderioh,
Dungannon, and other paints, with
very few from Clinton.
Economical Houses
When 'completed, the. houses will be
of • frame construction, some finished
with asbestos siding and some with
