Thenew building had three times the groundarea of the old one and was two storieshigh: it was built around and over theold building, which it entirely effaced, ex-, cept for the machinery. The contractorwas given the privilege of shutting downthe machinery during Thursday, Friday andSaturday, and this period, with the follow-ing Sunday gave him four days uninter-rupted control of the mill. During thisshort period he sunk six column- piers bVift. square and 14 ft. deep within the oldbuilding area and placed the staging tosupport the line shafting. The piers wereconstructed of concrete by excavating in-side of .sheeting.
