MUCH ROCK FOUND AT SANATORIUM SITE. Constructing Stone Piers for Admi tration and Infirmary Building. Owing to the stony condition of the land, progress on the excavations for the ‘mew tuberculosis sanatorium on the Post place at Thamesville has been retarded, but it will soon be possible to employ a much larger force of men, with proportionate increase in the speed with which the work can be ac- complished. he pust three weeks have been largely devoted to blasting, foar Auys being spent on one huge rock alone. 0-) account of these condi- tions only & smail force of men could be employed. Tiere are now about 40 men on the job, and this number is being increased daily. ‘ The buildings are being’ located on the very top of the hill, from which an extended view can be obtained. They will face towards the south. The work 6 far has beea confined to excavating and construstion of the stone piers for the admiristration and infirmary building. These plers are sunk to a depth of seven feet. It is probable that work on the buflding to be devoted to the incipient patients, which will be located to the east of the main build- ing, will not be started until the latter bufiding is well along.
