The new shop, which will cost hundreds of thousands of dol lars, will be 750 feet n length and 450 feet wide, and will cover approximately 10 acres. Preliminary work began on the opera tion this week. An army of laborers has been engaged In tilling and grading the locality. The shop Is to be constructed on concrete piling. Already a number of steel casing molds for the concrete have been driven, but pouring has not been started. The new structure, which will rival that of the Remington Arms Company, Is believed to be for the manufacture of munitions of war, although the engineer !n chargo of the construction refuses either to confirm or deny this report. Its location, directly in the rear of the new piers to be built by the company makes tt accessinie to tne river as wen as to the Reading Railway, which funs along the west boundary of the new building. The Immense shop will be similar in construction to that of the Remington Arms Company, which is being pushed to completion at a speed that Is surpris ing even to the workmen engaged on the operation. Steel units for the river front shop are expected to arrive in Sep tember, and the main construction work will begin at that time.
