Commerce Demands Rebuild

GOING ON FOR 80 YEARS
SEVERAL GENERATIONS MORE
BEFORE ALL rs COMPLETED.
Two Hundred Million Dollars Already
Spent on ThirtyFive
GOING ON FOR 80 YEARS

Written for The Evening Star by Thomas G. Gil
lespie.
New York is just now making much ado
over her subway, completed at a cost of
about forty million dollars 1t Is, indeed, a
gigantic Improvement, but both 1t and
it's cost sink into insignifcance when COM
pared with the scope of and expenditure on
another undertaking that has been going
on steadily since 1871 and will likely con-
tinue for several generations to come.
This colossal work has had and will con-
tinue to have pronounced effect on the
commerce and general welfare, not only of
it's metropolis, but of the entire country as
well. For since New York is America s
greatest port the rebuilding of its entire
water front to meet the demands of COM
merce cannot but he felt throughout Ameri-
ca in all lines of trade
But, while the improvement has been 60
ing on for a generation. and upward of two
hundred millions of dollars have been spent
by the city therefor. it is safe to say that
of the citizens of New York not one in a
thousand knows anything about it. and
certainly not that proportion outside the
city.
Yet in all this time the city has gradual
ly, but surely remodeled the water front

gagged in building eight enormous piers that

A Convict Farm.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Massa chusetts has established a convict
camp in the hill country near Rutland.
It Is a different matter from the convict
camps of the south, however, and the oc-
cupants are not farmed out to contractors
for profit as Is the case in Florida and
some other states. The new enterprise is
undertaken by the state itself and is in
tended to exercise reformatory function.
It is accessory to farm. No experienced
and hardened sinners are taken to the
place; on the contrary, the idea Is to es-
tablish 1t as a camp for minor offenders,
especially for the Incorporate who are not
lost to the appeals of their better selves
rather than from intention.
1t Is said that the substitution of air,
sun, wholesome food anu a measure of
ness and lack of care which characterize
jails and their keeping has already shown
benefcent results, not merely In the
physique of the prisoners. which 1t Is never
the intention of state to harm, but upon
their moral nature. The well fed well
slept, well employed man is less pervious
to temptation than is the weak, hungry
uneasy subject. Moreover the farm work
opens a way to employment which will be
a gain to not few of the prisoners mas
much as In the short absence from their
haunts they have not time to learn a
trade-supposing that the unions, which
are the enemies of prison labor permit it
but there is time to learn something of
farm routine, and to acquire a liking for
the care of live stock and the cultivation
of the soil,-if 1t is in the man to like these
things.

and 1t runs the length of only eight piers
cost upward of million and half dollars.
There is another reTna rkabl thing about
this wall. 1t is a floating wall-it floats in
mud. The piles are driven down to a dis
lance of about thirty feet. where the frfc-
ton of the mud on their sides keeps them
practically solid in place, if they were
resting rock bottom. Then immense
concrete blocks, each Weighing ninety-two
tons, are set on these foating piles. and
You have the sea wall. 1t has been found
that tie wall SINKS very little. Some sec
tons have sunk an inch or two in five years
and then ceased altogether. If any portion
o. the wall were to sink pkenonemally,
all that would be necessary to repair IL
would be more concrete blocks upon top of
the Others. II would IL far less costly
IL put up another laycr of blocks than
% drive tie piles TO the rock bed of the
river, in some places several hundred feet
below the mud. The old sea wall which
is being displaced is of the ordinary crib
variety.
Cost a Fortune.
Although the land and the sea wall of
themselves are the most costly items in
this Improvement, the new piers are by no
means cheap affairs. OF the eight piers
now under way each will cost on an aver
age about q quarter Of & million dollars.
These piers each 500 feet long by 125
feet wide, and each requires 100000 feet
of ordinary pine for decking, 100000 feet
OF creosote, 1.SG0 cubic yards of reinforced
concrete fer the deck, $4,000 pounds of
iron screw bolts and 4 regular forest of
trees for piles-21S3 piles. to be exact Each
pile must be capable IF bearing a weight
equal to eight tons, and as it must weigh
two tons, it represents some king of the
forest leveled for the benefit of the float
ing commerce of America The building
% the piers and the dredging are the only
parts of the work that the city does by
contract; everything else is cared for by
the department, which employs about 1880
men and has a plant, consisting of scows.
pile drivers. derIichs. tugtoats. yawls,
launches, machinery, machine shops, de-
partment yards and timber basins valued
at considerably more thar million dol
lars. The biggest timber basin is con-
stantly stocked with four million feet OF
lumber and about a0.oGI piles. The city
could easily become one of the largest
lumber dealers In tire country IL ever it
cared to embark in the business.
To the lay mind it would seem that the
metropolis is going to an enormous ex-
pense to take care of the country s COM
merce when it is reckoned that the very
few miles of the water front that have
been improved have taken the greater
part of the 5000. 900. 900 expended to date
by the department. But another fact
