If yo u woul d like me to , I t hink I could
find out in Wa shi ngton what t he total fees were on t he Boston ,

on any of t h e other j obs t hat are completed.
However, you

�After the declaration of war against Germany it becwne neceeeary tor the govermnent to conet·r uct plants tor the manufacturing of

pOlfder to supply the need caueed by the war.
Hadley Bend on the Cwnberland River, about eighteen mile•

an area of ten and a quarter mil•••

Ttie DuPont Engineering Company were ordered to build thia
and they selected the Mason cl Hanger Company to aseietin the construcThe work work assigned to them being the building or the city, to
the operatives employed at the planti all railroads leading to, and
within the reservation, sewer and water lines, also all roads to and
the plant.

It waa necessacy to construct an average size city to give living quarterB to the twenty-five thousand employees that it was estimated would
be used in the operation of the plant. In the construction of the city, every
facility found in an up to date town had to be provided, including lights,
etreets, sidewalks, sewer and water systems, etc:
In all 1 there were about twenty-five hundred buildings erected including; three hundred and forty-eight supervieors houses, eleven hundred and
twenty-five six room bungalows, one hundred and sixty-seven two ■tory apartment houses of six apartments each, eighty-four one story apartment houses of
six apartments each, two hotels, with caJ:,acity of four hundred each, four
school houses with twenty-four rooms each, and one of twelve rooms, and many
other buildings including, stores, bunk houses• drug stores, domitories,
Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. buildings·, mess halls and cafeterias, pumping stations
and power houses and in fact every kind of building necessary tor a town of
twenty-five thousand population.
In the erection of this city, 70 1 000 1 000 feet B.M. of lUJ11ber
used and between september 10th and 13th the followinglumber was erected:

In addition to the above record for speedy constructing there
was erected a two story block. apartment wilding in twenty-nine hours, and
a six roan bungalow in nine hours, both being complete and ready for occupancy.
'ffiere was laid for the use of this city twenty-two and a halt
miles of water lines and fifty and a half miles of sewer lines.

Before actual construction _,~• started it was necessary to construct seven miles of railroad track from"Nashville, Chattanooga, and St. Louisl
R.R. to the site of the plant. This line" required the excavation of eighty
thousand cubic yards of earth and twelve thou■ and cubic yards of rock. Work
was begun on February 10tb 1 1918 and thirty days thereafter the line was completed ready for operation thereby establishing a worlds record in the annals
of._ railroad construction. In addition to the above, other railroad work
was done, there being a total of over fifty miles of standard gauge track laid
as well as many miles of.. narrow. gauge track.

-

�In addition to the other work sixteen miles of m~c~aom ro~d•
and four miles of concrete roads were constructed.

Thirteen thousand five hundred cars of material were received

Tlie maximum force employed in any one day by the DuPont Engineering Company on the Constructing of the Powder Plant was twenty-tour
thousand men, and when the Armistice waa signed on November 11. 1918, eight
months after the date the actual construction was started they were shipping
F'dve hundred thousand pounds of powder each day.

If yo u woul d like me to , I t hink I could
find out in Wa shi ngton what t he total fees were on t he Boston ,

on any of t h e other j obs t hat are completed.
However, you

�After the declaration of war against Germany it becwne neceeeary tor the govermnent to conet·r uct plants tor the manufacturing of

pOlfder to supply the need caueed by the war.
Hadley Bend on the Cwnberland River, about eighteen mile•

an area of ten and a quarter mil•••

Ttie DuPont Engineering Company were ordered to build thia
and they selected the Mason cl Hanger Company to aseietin the construcThe work work assigned to them being the building or the city, to
the operatives employed at the planti all railroads leading to, and
within the reservation, sewer and water lines, also all roads to and
the plant.

It waa necessacy to construct an average size city to give living quarterB to the twenty-five thousand employees that it was estimated would
be used in the operation of the plant. In the construction of the city, every
facility found in an up to date town had to be provided, including lights,
etreets, sidewalks, sewer and water systems, etc:
In all 1 there were about twenty-five hundred buildings erected including; three hundred and forty-eight supervieors houses, eleven hundred and
twenty-five six room bungalows, one hundred and sixty-seven two ■tory apartment houses of six apartments each, eighty-four one story apartment houses of
six apartments each, two hotels, with caJ:,acity of four hundred each, four
school houses with twenty-four rooms each, and one of twelve rooms, and many
other buildings including, stores, bunk houses• drug stores, domitories,
Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. buildings·, mess halls and cafeterias, pumping stations
and power houses and in fact every kind of building necessary tor a town of
twenty-five thousand population.
In the erection of this city, 70 1 000 1 000 feet B.M. of lUJ11ber
used and between september 10th and 13th the followinglumber was erected:

In addition to the above record for speedy constructing there
was erected a two story block. apartment wilding in twenty-nine hours, and
a six roan bungalow in nine hours, both being complete and ready for occupancy.
'ffiere was laid for the use of this city twenty-two and a halt
miles of water lines and fifty and a half miles of sewer lines.

Before actual construction _,~• started it was necessary to construct seven miles of railroad track from"Nashville, Chattanooga, and St. Louisl
R.R. to the site of the plant. This line" required the excavation of eighty
thousand cubic yards of earth and twelve thou■ and cubic yards of rock. Work
was begun on February 10tb 1 1918 and thirty days thereafter the line was completed ready for operation thereby establishing a worlds record in the annals
of._ railroad construction. In addition to the above, other railroad work
was done, there being a total of over fifty miles of standard gauge track laid
as well as many miles of.. narrow. gauge track.

-

�In addition to the other work sixteen miles of m~c~aom ro~d•
and four miles of concrete roads were constructed.

Thirteen thousand five hundred cars of material were received

Tlie maximum force employed in any one day by the DuPont Engineering Company on the Constructing of the Powder Plant was twenty-tour
thousand men, and when the Armistice waa signed on November 11. 1918, eight
months after the date the actual construction was started they were shipping
F'dve hundred thousand pounds of powder each day.
