On account of the soft nature of
the ground encountered when founda
tion pits were dug for the government
wireless station at Mile 14 1-2, work
has been suspended until instructions |
have been received from Bremerton j
by t . !•'. Cahill, government inspector, j
w ho is here to superintend the erec-,
ticn of the plant.
According to Cahill, the contractor,
encountered a soft blue mud mixed
with sand alter he had sunk six feet.
The farther he went the softer the
material became. This was deemed
unsuitable for the foundations as ori
ginally planned, and Cahill tele
graphed to Bremerton as to what me
thods he shall use to make the foun
dations solid.
This, he says, can be done either
by driving piles or by spreading the
piers over a larger area. When a reply
Is received work will immediately be
resumed.
The concrete and foundation tim
bers already are on the ground, and
steei for the first sixty feet of the
towers is in Seattle ready for ship
ment. The contract calls for the
completion of the work by November
1, and unless something unforseen oc
curs, Cahill anticipates no difficulty
for the contractors In completing the
work.
Kris 1<tippler, Seattle, has the con
tract for the erection of the wireless
buildings. Some of his material is
alreadx on the dock here, and he is
expected to arrive on one of the next
boats from the gouth and begin work.
After the station at Mile 14 1-2 is j
completed, it will be connected by
cable with Whitshed, which will make
the two stations practically one. The
new station will he one of the most
powerful on the Pacific, and is ex
pected to be strong enough to talk
direct with Arlington.
