Owing to the disposition of the
works to be undertaken it will be
possible to have several, in fact,
almost all of the important parts
of the work carried on simul-
taneously. This will mean that
a large number of men can be
employed together on the work,
and the contract can be com-
pleted very expeditiously. . Mr.
Stedham has no intention of let-
ting such an item as frost interfere
with the making of the 200 odd
piles required for the work. At
the present rate of progress these
will be all set long before the
frost comes.
