Progress of Constructional Work.

Up to seven hundred bags of cement were used in an eight-hour day. Five concrete towers were in use on the job, one an invention of Mr. J. N. Ramage, general foreman of works, employed by Messrs. J. T. Julian and Son Ltd. The remarkable quality of the concrete work is shown in alignment and finish of the platform verandahs balancing on their single line of supporting pillars.

The plans supplied for the job numbered 480, and their interpretation was largely the task of Mr. A. C. Bettany, engineer for the contractors.
