Local Workmen Busily Employed On Park Breastwork And

Bridge Approa

, Work is steadily progressing on the unemployment projects at Vic- toria Park and the Hillsborough Bridge. The necessary sand has ar- rived and the City intended yester- day to have started their asphalt plant to lay the black base on lower Grafton and a surface on the con-

crete on the block oi Richmond be- tween Pownal and West streets. Al-

though the asphalt work was held

up by the continuous rain, the re- construction oi the brcastwork at IVictoria Park went forward. There are forty men working on this project, with the prospect oi ten more being taken on. About sixty yards oi breastwork have been completed. It is a sturdy looking job, the heavy timbers forming an unbroken, slightly slanting wall, supported by cross timbers along which are bolted lengthy longitu-

the cement breastwork built a iew years ago, the City Surveyor said that it would not be, but that the cement b. k had not stood up well, while the wooden construc- tion will last for forty years.

Work on the Government part oi the l-lillsborough approaches is also progressing favourably. Concrete has been laid about haii way down the right side oi the Charlottetown side oi the approach, the city nnxer being used for the purpose. The rest oi this side is prepared for the concrete, while the road irorn the railway crossing to the Green bridge, whcrc the City work stops,
