buildings.—‘** mnher of men
employed on any one dav was 9.100,
and even then more were needed: a
weekly payroll of $250,006 was not
unusual. There are 29 miles of water
line. 30 miles of sewer. wit’i macad
amized roads, electrical equipment

$6,500,000, THc h of which went to the
workmen who drew wages of $7 a day:
and upwards. Many bf these had
never driven a nail or- sawed a plank.
