A 40-foot-high woodpile may be seen at the site now, where the planking for the building roof is being stacked. Altogether, there will be 40 box-car loads of timber used in the roof, which will have an area of 5 acres. The walls of the plant will be constructed of steel-reinforced concrete, faced with brick.
