Work on the Burned Factories

to begin at Once.

The Hemingray Glass Company here decided upon rebuilding their glass factory. They will not let the contract for the erection of the buildings, but Robert Morgan, a contractor in their employ, will have charge of the work. Last evening, Mr. Morgan ordered the lumber and active work on the main structure will commence by next Wednesday.

The factory, when completed, will be larger than before and much more convenient. The main structure will be 70 x 170 feet, 22 feet to the square, with circular top, a 20 foot spring, and large ventilator, there will be a tin works 40 x 60, machine shop, stock room, moulding room, and carpenter, cooper, and box shops.

The buildings are to be of corrugated iron and the Hemingrays will have a finer factory then the one lost by fire.
