DENIES BUILDINGS HAVE CHANGED
Superintendent of Brooklyn Tunnel Work
Replies to 7. F. Miller's Complaint.

Regarding the complaint of Theodore F. Miller
that work the rand transit tunnel unoer 10
ralemon-st in Brooklyn, was so damaging the
houses along the street that they would soon be
wrecks" which complaint was presented to the
Rapid Transit Commission on Thursday John XIII
gan who is superintendent of the tunnel work. said
yesterday:
Before we began to work we We're very careful 10
examine all these buildings We touna the CI1 oti
in the walls. We noticed the fact that the Gus
house an old one, had parted from the adjoining
house We have a record of all these things. we
applied what we call ''teltales' chin strips OF
paper pasted tightly across a crack or opening
which break in case the opening becomes larger)'
and none of our 'telltales" have broken.
There is no question whatever that the Stoops OF
some of the houses the north side of the street
have sagged. 1t is my belief, however, that the
sagging was due to the underground washout
caused by the recent big rain. The residents OF
these houses say that there is bed OF qulcksand
running along the front of these houses ABOUT ten
feet underground. They attribute the moving of
the stoop the quicksand. .
Mr.. Miller wrote his letter to the Rapid Transt
Commission several weeks ago. Last saturday l
took him down into the tunnel, and showed him
why il was impossible that it should cause SINK
ing at the surface of the ground. He eXprt sSed
himself as satisfied that the system Is all right
