Work Progressing Nice- j ly?rUuillWl at Work and Plaut- i erers Coining. The last brick has been laid on I the Y. M. C. A. building and after | the plumber*, the planter**? and roof 1 era have had their day or days on the ! building it will be complete, ai far as structure is concerned for oc? cupancy. The work of the brick masons was I omplftt'd y?nterday when the last of the walls wer? laid and all of the brick -vork of the Y. M. C. A.'b four j story structure was declared to be finished. It has taken mora than six months to get the building to the j stage of completion at which it It now, but It 1? probable that h.?d not 1 the failure of the contractors stop j ped the work for several months, .that the building would be ready for occupancy at the present time. Af? ter the work was taken In V id by th*? building comn ittee and Mr. Carr placed In charge It has progressed nicely and the people of Sumter are glad that the building is now on the home stretch to completion. Today the plumbers were turned loos. In the building and were busily ? engaged In putting In their very im- I I port! nt fixtures. The plumbing of such a large building Is a very lm- j portant part of It, and It will be done with the greatest care. Tomorrow the plasterers will commence the work of plastering all of the walls of the building, and as a iul! force of hands has been engaged It Is sup? posed that the work will be pushed through as rapidly as possible. Coming after the plasterers, some time next week, the workmen will arrive to place the roof on the build? ing. The usual covering for flat , roofed buildings will be used. MOVE IS DAMAGE SUIT.
