It \'las remarked that vlOrk carried on in these -['110 homes made a remarkable difference in them and that ,the restoration of the buildings required only the installation of the windows and the papering of ,the walls to complete the building.. b) Hr.

Evidently it was a four faced clock standing some 15 fee'c high aJ.îd ~veighing some'thing in ,the vicinity of 2 tons.
