BIG BUILDINGS.—Some views of construction work on the New Railway Station and the Government Life Insurance Building, two big undertakings now well in hand. Operations on the Government Life Building are shown in the top row, repairing a crane (left) and a portion of the wooden shell used in building the foundations (right). The two pictures on the left of the centre row show workmen lowering a grab into one of the caissons, an interior view of which is given in the centre picture. Scenes at the new railway station include lifting asphalt in block form for use on the roof (top centre), concrete mixing (centre right), building the arches of the concourse (bottom left), building a stairway (bottom centre), and constructing concrete casing (bottom right).
