before we began work, and how these
have actually besn affected by the ex-
cavaticn. You would be surprised at the
number of damage claims which we can
stop in just this way
A year from next fall when trains be-
gin to run in at least a part of the su0-
way, New Workers viii begin to appre-
clate the genius and energy which has
been devoted to this great enterprise Not
only New Workers, but all Americans as
we'll, may be proud of the men who have
carried the project from its first lncap-
ton to within sight of its final completion
TO William Barclay Parsons the chief
engineer of the rapid transit commission,
mere credit is due than to any other
single man. 1t was Mr.. Parsons pet plan
for years before the Legislature of the state
passed an act by which the work could
be taken up. 1t has been the indefatiga Die
labor of Mr.. Parsons and his corps ot
engineers which has made possible the
formation of plans for every detail now
being carried out successfully.
During the months preceding letting CT
the contracts Mr.. Parsons offices were
the business rooms in New York Every
street car line, every support for elevated
structure, lui.d.ng, subject ar, every water,
sewer or gas pipe, together with house
connections, every conduit was located;
indeed the character of the rock or soil
In the path of the proposed subway was
determined Before the first pick was
struck into the ground Mr. Parsons knew
that six and a half miles of sewage pipes
alone had to be moved; he know where
lines Of water and gas service would have

railway. SiXty-fve thousand tons Of steel
Will be used in the arches, pillars and
rails. Ten thousand men will have been
engaged for nearly two years In bring
ing this marvel about. All this is to the
end that the New Yorker and the visiting
stranger may be whisked from one ex-
tremity of Manhattan Island to the other
In a hurry.
At the present time millions of feet of
lumber are being used to maintain undis-
turbed The street surface with, its cease
less traffic going on above the excava-
tons If this timber had been used in
building homes for the army of 10000
worllmen employed there would have
been sufficient for a two-story frame
house fer every man. The $500 0CO tons of
rock which are to be taken out would
make q solid wall three feet thick, six
feet high and nearly 500 miles long, and
II the dirt were spread over Central Park
the entire area would be covered ten
inches deep AS matter of fact, acres
and acres Of New Jersey swamp land
are being made habitable since the Rapid
Transit commission began to dispose of
the surplus dirt and rock upon them.
1t is a veritable city under a city
which the engineers and contractors are
sure, now with two rOadways, now with
four, but it is an electrically lighted,
clean, well ventilated avenue of travel,
and millions of passengers will be car
ried over it every year

tom of the many openings, the real state
of the subway may best be seen, provid-
ed one is fortunate enough to secure per
mission to explore the cuts and headings
AT City Hall square, the lower terminus,
fully two-thirds of the work has been
done. One section of the loop is already
covered over, and the floors, arches and
entrances of the station are now being
completed. The City Hall station is to
be a local train station only. Originally
a great loop was planned here which
was to circle a part of the postofTice and
furnish room for the main station and it
was understood that all the trains, both
express and local, should pass this way.
The TASK, however, was too difficult. It
was not possible to pass under the post
office building without weakening that
structure, and the plan to tunnel to
Brooklyn also made it advisable to locate
the main station at the bridge. Accord
ingly Mr.. William Barclay Parsons, the
chief engineer, planned a smaller loop
and a local train station which has
aroused the admiration of all the engi-
neers. There is not straight line at
this terminus. The station is a curved
platform, the roof is a series of domes
and arches within arches. The change in
the loop made necessary a switch yard
for trains and this was tunneled out
under Park Row.
Only q short distance up from the loop
is the main station. That is to say, the
main station will be located here, close

Through Solid Rock.
These scenes are not familiar to many
New Workers because they are SO far
up Manhattan. There has just been COM
pleted, however, another section in which
the same kind of work was carried on.
When the contractor for the section
which runs under a corner of Central
Park undertook this piece of work his
task was that Of boring a tunnel through
the solid rock without disturbing the sur
face of the park. There We're many near
by buildings, and every unusually large
blest was a menace to the neighborhood
Still the contractor accomplished his diff
ffcult task without a mishap. AS an in
stance of the beautifully exact calcula-
ton which had been made in connection
with every part Of the work the expert
ence of this &C ntractor in connecting his
two headings may be cited When The
blast had blown out the separating rock
it was found that the two headings had
joined in one straight tunnel. There was
not fraction of an ipch difference in the
calculations Of eGch as to the location
OF the other.
In marked contrast to the scenes of
mining life with it's accompaniment of
trembling from the blasts and it's pro-
cession of oily, muddy drillers of the
rocks are the bridge builders, the toll

face of the solid rock at One Hundred

the pressure of the water above and
around it makes it air tight TIE river
bottom is then dug out under the frame
work, the dirt and rock being placed on
top of the structure to hold it down.
When the trench is of sufficient depth
the regular tunnel masonry is put in, and
one-half being thus completed the wood
en- structure is released and floated to the
other side, when practically the same
operation is gone through with again
The Most Expensive Mile.
1t is the ordinary surface cutting which
may be seen by everybody, and this, be-
cause it is the simplest kind of work
connected with the subway. The crowds,
however, never seem to lose their Gu.
riosity. A network of timbers, supports,
gas. water and sewer pipes is practi-
cally all that is visible. Through con-
venient openings huge buckets are low
cred to be loaded with rock or dirt rails
ed again and run along the galloway un-
til they are dumped into the waiting
carts. Great chains lock together the
timber supports of the street car tracks
Pillars of steel and wood hold I'D the
street surface. And the thousands OF
people pass over these yawning holes
daily without a thought of danger de-
spite the accidents that have happened
The work is carried on with the greatest
margin of safety. No sooner is the smoke
of blast cleared away than timber sup
ports are driven into place. Wherever
an open trench is dug the side drifts are
safeguarded as much as possible In
