New York.-Not millions of dollars
alone, nor the skill of designers, nor
the cunning of craftsmen enter into
the making Of great city. Sky
scrapers, bridges, tunnels and sub
ways must be purchased at a heavy
cost of human life. Few realize how
many men die that great public
work may be created. Engineers and
builders say that the sacrifice Is in
eyitable. Six tunnel systems are be-
ing constructed under the North and
East rivers. According to one esti-
mate, there is one man killed in them,
on an average, for every day of the
year. A well-known engineer has es-
timated that every floor of modern
building Of pretentious size has cost
a life, either in the forests where the
timber has been cut, in the coal and
iron mines, and stone quarries, the
steel mills, the caissons sunk deep in
the steel superstructures that rise
lacelike to the sky.
Hairbreadth Escapes.
Yet the spirit of adventure walks
hand in hand with death. While many
lives were lost that the Brooklyn and
Williamsburg bridges might be built,
there were escapes by the workmen
engaged on them that would seem
grotesque and improbable II put into
a novel. A man may die for every day
Of the year. during the construction
of q cassion or river tunnel, but the
men who escape tell stories that
would enhance the fame of Hugo, Poe,
or Eugene Sue The sacrifice of life
In public works, too, Is story apart
from the record of seven lives ended
by violence in this city for every day
in the year. 1t takes no count OF the
men, women and children killed by
accidents in the streets-one victim
for every sunset.
A hint of the sacrifice of life in pub
lie works was found in the records Of
the board OF coroners In Manhattan.
Last year there were 2,160 deaths by
violence in the boroughs, and 6S4, or
nearly one-third. were caused by falls,
explosions. the collapse Of earth in ex-
cavations, premature blasts, and fall
ing rocks and timbers. The river tun-
nels were pushed forward at the cost
of 6S lives, or 43 in the Pennsylvania
terminal works, 20 in the Belmont
tunnel, two in the subway borings un-
der the East river. and three In the
Hudson company's terminal at Church
and Dey streets.
