NORTH RIVER BORE
A TRIUMPH Of
ENGINEERING

New York. Sept. lot was learned
yesterday that the delicate task OF
verifying the measurings for the Penn
sylvania tunnel under the North river
before Joining the borings started
simultaneously from both sides OF the
river had just been completed by the
O'Rourke Engineering Construction
company, which firm has the contract.
The result Is a triumph TO American
engineering methods. as we'll as 10 the
skill OF John f. O'Rourke, the chief
engineer.
II was found that the deviation be-
tween the axles OF the two borings fell
short of one-sixteenth OF an ince In
other words, though begun at both
ends the two tubes Of the tunnel. when
Joined will ft together as precisely as
II the work had been carried on only
from one end.
The remeasuring applies equally 20
both tubes. OF these, however, the
north one is slightly ahead OF its south
ern twin When work was stopped
there remained only about 100 feet in
the north tube between the two gangs
OF workers. The task of clearing out
this last partition will be begun this
morning, and the present plans OF the
cOfnphny provide TOT the completion OF
that tube next Wednesday.
The event will be accompanied by
some ceremony, but not by any pre-
tentious celebration. Big flags Will be
hoisted on the poles raised for the
purpose at both shaft openings. TIE
first passage from one boring TO the
other will probably be made by Mr..
O'Rourke himself. and some high Penn
sylvania Official possibly President
Cassatt.
The south tube will be completed
about a week later. But when the
company has got that far. there will
be a year more OF work before the tun-
mel can be opened for public use.
The record OF this undertaking is re-
markable I'm more respects that the one
already indicated Not a single life has
been lost in the course Of construction
OF this great work. although hundreds
OF men have labored under the most
difficult circumstances. The lowest
depth Of the tunnel under the river sur
face is 75 feet and the air pressure that
has been maintained in the tubes 10
make the work possible has been as
high as in any other tunnel under con-
struction.
Not a single serious accident has &C.
Cured. and though cases OF bends have
been frequent, as is unavoidable in such
work, yet not one resulted fatally. And
there is no case on record where the
sufferer OF this dread ailment was not
able TO return 10 work within a Few
hours. This was said to depend on the
careful medical treatment given TO the
men. as we'll as the constant watch
kept on them I'm order 10 prevent them
from keeping on working after they
had been affected with the trouble.
