Show CONTRACTOR IS.SLOW TO JCT Tho Ogden Rapid Transit company Is experiencing some difficulty in securing se-curing a contractor to repair the damage done to the big smokestack at the power house a few ulghta ago b..- lightning. Tho repair work is apparently ap-parently of buth a nature that local brick men are not clamoring to tackle it. and Manager Joseph Bailey of the Transit company Is at a loss to know how to have the stack retoppod. In order to begin the real repair work, R will be necessary to construct con-struct a heavy scaffold from the mound to a height of nearly U0 feet aiound tho stack nnd it is this pre-l.mlnarv pre-l.mlnarv work that the contractors do net reliVh. This feature of the repair work will also count most in tho cost of the job. Manager Bailey states that the principal reason why. he has not been Pble to secure a man to do the work is that all of the Opden brick contractor.; con-tractor.; are at present busy with larger ton tracts. It U believed like that ihe cost, of the chimney repair will exceed ?400. |
