PUSH WORK ON NEW
WITERHOUSE m
Grading and Erection of Forms For
Concrete Begun in Rear of City
Pumping Station
NEW RECORD ON WALL JOB
113 Blocks Put Down \ esterday;
Plaza Abutment Will Be 420
Feet; Planting in Promenade
While the actual concrete work on |
the proposed plaza wall in the rear)
of the waterhouse will not be started
until the River Wall granolithic walk
is further advanced, the necessar>
crading. erection of the forms, etc..
will be pushed ahead as rapidly as
possible.
Unusually rapid work is being done I
on the construction of 'he walk. < on- j
tract Foreman Williams havins
broken all previous records yesterday
by putting down the unprecedented
number of 113 blocks. By noon one
side of the paving below the pumping
station was well under way.
The 420-foot stretch immediately in
front of the pumping station will not
be paved it is understood until after
the grading for the plaza wall is'fin
ished. Then the opening will be tilled
in by the laying simultaneously of the
walk and the plaza wall. When com
pleted tWe top of the balustrade on the
plaza wall will be about fifteen feet
above the level of the River Wall
walk.
The promenade of the plaza, the big
open stretch between the pumping
station and the plaza wall, will be
laid out attractively in floral patch de
signs. much after the same scheme
that is now in vogue on the River
Front side of the water station
Just what method will be adopted
for handling the ashes that are dump
ed on the plaza space has r.ot been
decided definitely. The construction
of a concrete basin which can be read
ily screened by fringes of shrubbery
or the erection of a little brick or con
crete bin with elevator bucket attach
ment are among the suggestions that
have been advanced.

BUSINESS BEFORE BIiOOD
| Note—The Electric Steel Company
of Pittsburgh has declined, on humani

four million dollars worth of steel
shells.
Ah. whither are we drifting now?
What means this pious deed?
Does Pittsburgh think to show us how
To meet financial greed?
Stay! Send ahroa-d our implements
Of death to those who tight:
We have the good, hard business sense
That makes all commerce right.
What matters it though blood be shed?
It is not ours, forsooth!
Our country is not splashed with red.
Nor slain our budding youth.
Our ammunition and our guns
Are made by peaceful hands.
And why should not our business sons
Feed fat on warring lands?
If others wish to maim and slay.
But lack the means therefor.
Why should we not make fighting pay
And so prolong the war?
The stench of dead men rotting there,
Is worse than words can tell.
Vet it is sweet beyond compare
With such commercial smell.

Herald.
