<br /> <br />i405 <br /> <br />236 <br /> <br />METROPOLITAN WATER DISTRICT <br /> <br />domestic and fire-protection purposes is under construction; the <br />gates in the gate house at the top of the delivery pipes are being <br />installed; and the landscaping of the area is in progress. <br />Gene <br />Excavation for the Gene plant was begun January 23, 1936 and <br />first concrete was placed in some of the pump-house column foot- <br />ings at the end of April. In May construction of concrete cradles <br />for the inlet sphere and manifolds was started. This was com- <br />pleted in June, after which no further concrete work was done <br />until pouring of pump house foundation and substructure concrete <br />was begun October 2, 1936. Thereafter concrete work was con- <br />tinuous throughout the winter months. <br />Following the strike in April 1937 110 further work, except to <br />complete water-curing of concrete, was performed by the con- <br />tractor until September, when backfilling was resumed at the Gene <br />pump house and preparations made for resumption of concrete <br />work by repair of old and construction of new forms. Concrete <br />work was practically finished at the end of December and steel <br />work in the switch rack and backfill around buildings shortly after. <br /> <br /> <br />II <br /> <br />-~=~..ro'E['.,IJ '+, <br />, <br />I <br />~L~~Ell ; I : <br />;-:': - ,j <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />~'JL.~ <br /> <br />I " IS m <br /> <br />:lCM..EI'<rt'ET <br />
