Heat Tunnel Gouged Out: Workmen shore up sides of new University heating tunnel along the west side of Thompson between Williams and Jefferson which will deliver heat to the U-M's new $2,524,700 Administrative Offices Building now under construction. The tunnel will connect with another to the U-M's new Institute for Social Research Building at upper left. The tunnel will run along Thompson to just south of Jefferson where it will cross to the new building. Construction is expected to be completed in about five weeks, U-M officials say. The University has many construction projects in progress.

SCRAP FOR GUNS, BATTLESHIPS, TANKS: Long unused street car rails in Ann Arbor are going into the nation's war effort as scrap iron. A group of WPA workers is shown tearing up the rails on Catherine St., starting the job of salvaging between five and six hundred tons of the rails from Ann Arbor streets. The labor cost will be met by the WPA--the city contributing the value of the scrap iron as its share--and the WPA will repair the pavement damaged in the process.
