Builder a Leading Expert.

One can only gain a compre-
hensive idea of the immensity of
this enterprise by a visit to the
plant and a chat with the genial
superintendent, George L, Clay-
ton. Mr. Clayton is the- builder
and architect. He has been in
this business of ereeting cold
storage plants ever since the first

rived at the honor of being classed

as the leading expert in the busi-
ness. One of those who when
capital desires to reap advant-
age from his expert knowledge
and says: “George, here is a
business project; what is your
fee for advice?” he is in a posi-
tion to tell them to write it in
four or five figures, all the same

 

as a famous court physician.
Will Be No Smoke Nuisance.

A notable landmark in the

beautiful scenery of Seal Cove is
this cold storage plant, the main |
|building, huge and windowless,
with its overhanging eaves and
rafters looking for all the world
like an immense adobe mauso-

jeye, after being properly cleansed,

ported.

Costly Material in Walls.

The outer walls, as_ before
stated, are of reinforced steel
conerete, but it is in the interior
walls of the cold storage part of
the buildings that the great ex-
pense comes in. These walls have
finish and there is first
a layer of hollow tile about five
inches, then five inches of com-
pressed granulated cork, one inch
of Watsonite, a composition hay-
ing mastic as its base, then more
cork, a layer of hollow tiles and
the plaster, The floors are con-
structed in practically the same
way and throughout the building
will stand a pressure of. 400
pounds to the foot. This makes
the insulation against the air
perfect. But the cost! Ten car-

a coating of ice and this her-
metically seals this dainty fish
from contact with the common
air and enables it to be delivered
in London in as fresh a state as
when taken from these waters.
Cold Storage for Rupert.
Three of the large rooms on
this floor are set apart for the

for the eold storage of meats,
vegetables and other perishables.
