K\ST BRICK PLACED.
Y. M. C. A. 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.
