(Special to The Times.) East Chicago. Aug-. 11. Compara
tively few people in East Chicago are
aware of the fact that a new foundry
has started up In East Chicago. Such, J however, la the case, the establish-1 ment having been operated already for!
several days.
The foundry Is that recently con
structed for the George B. Limbert company and Is on the Riga place side
of the property occupied as a site byj this growing' plant. The first fire In the new cupola was started last Saturday when President Limbert and the entire staff of the general offices, which are located In Chicago, were out. At present there are only twenty-five
men employed In the new foundry, but within the next sixty days from fifty to sixty men will be engaged. The plant has been operated without a hitch, which is rather unusual in new
establishments. The new foundry is only one of a number of improvements which will soon form a part of the Limbert concern. Superintendent Castle has plans in hand for the building of machine and pattern shops next spring. The pattern shop will occupy the Tod avenue side of the property from Riga place to 145th street and the machine shop will be erected in about the center of the site. There will also he a big
storeroom constructed. The new foundry cost $40,000 and was built by August Johnson. It is 10 by 267 feet in dimensions. The George B. Limbert company Is regarded as on of the "comers"' in this region. It was started with one small shop about - three and one-half years ago with ten men and has increased steadily to its present large Unenslons with a payroll of 100 men.

The structure "which will contain the main laboratory and offlfces will be three stories in height, and the main building, that in which the machinery is to be located and the Industry carried on, will be a mammoth structure 100 feet by between five and six hundred feet in dimensions.

CONTRACTOR FINISHES
$250,000 JOB i (Special to The Times.) j East Chicago, Aug. 11. F". G. Proud-'
foot who has had contracts for street paving and sidewalks amounting to over a quarter of a million dolfars during the past year in East Chicago, is about finished with his work here and will gather his men, his tools and his
materials together next week and bid farewell to the Twin cities for the pres
ent, to go to Laporte where he has a
big contract for street paving, and vis
likely to have other contracts in the near future for paving. i
Mr. Proudfoot has purchased a big'
portable asphalt mixing plant as th
Laporte contracts call for asphalt
macadam to be used on the two streets for the work on which he has already cinched the contract and whichamounts to over 50.000. He has also '
bought a concrete mixer that spreads material automatically and is a great labor saver. The work he has just completed In East Chicago embraces J 120,000 worth of cement sidewalks and $150,000 worth of paving. Ris men are now at work
on Northcote avenue, the last of the six I streets for which he had the contract'
in East Chicago and all of the side-, walks, which involved an endless amount of filing and grading, are com
pleted. The work is all finished in the
most wprkman like manner, the best of materials having been used, as is always the case in Mr. Praudfoofs work, and satisfaction over the jobs is ex
pressed on every hand. During the past three years this eontractor has
cleaned up considerably more than a
half million dollar's worth of work In the Twin cities. The work Proudfo.ot is about to do in Laporte is on two streets, Main street and th principal business street leading north from that thoroughfare. It will represent the first asphalt ma
cadam ever used In this city. Proud-
foot was one of seven bidders, the only rival contractor bidding against him
from this city being "Williani Ahlborn
of Hammond. There are other con
tracts to be let in Laport in the near future some of which Proudfoot hopes
to land.
