CAlSSON WORK.
How Foundations of Great Steel
Structures Are Built.

are pullI.
The foundations for the great steel
structures are built by Leans of cais-
soils in which the men can work under
n great pressure of air 1t is very
interesting sight to watch them, and
the best of it is that any one may see
them at close range from an adjoining
Bidewalk. The caisson is hollow steel
cylinder open at the bottom and Just
large enough to permit man to work
The workman climbs down a ladder in
this tube and digs away the earth at
the bottom AS the earth is taken
away the steel tube is gradually low
cred. The earth is taken out by a
bucket. which is lowered and raised by
q tall derrick at one side. AS the
caisson sinks, air is pumped into the
compartment containing the man. This
Is to force back any water or dirt that
might fill the hole from the outside as
fast as the workman removes it from
within. The pressure of this air is Of
ten so great that a man can work but
an, hour or so at time. At the top
of the caisson is a steel cylinder with
an air tight door at either end, which
serves as a kind of vestibule to the
tube below
When one of the caisson workers
starts TO so to work he opens the door
or lid at the top and climbs in, when
the opening is once IN Q tightly clos
ed. This door or lid is air tight. Aft
er the opening to the outer air has
been closed the workman opens the
door at the bottom of this steel COM
partment and lets in compressed air
from the caisson below. 1t takes
few minutes to become accustomed to
breathing this atmosphere, for the
heavy air makes the head ring. AS
soon as the workman can do SO he
climbs down into the funnel below.
closing the lower door of the steel
anteroom as he does so. All this must
be done In the dark. II the workman
wishes to signal the outer world he
may do so by striking the steel sides
of his narrow prison with his shovel.
He usually signals in this way when
the bucket is to be raised or lowered

Lodging House Inspector VIII Be Sac

Health Department
Next Week

Never in the history OF CITY uepdrI'
ments has as much bu- -onholing, Ills
cussing and whispered tipping been done
as during September, 1907.
The deficit facing the city council and
the secret sessions of the finance COM
mittee composed of two Non-partisans and
one Republican, have infiamed curiosity
to such an extent that it is worth ones
life to remain long in any. of the Of
fees or corridors of tie city hall.
Every employe wants to know If his
job is safe or his wages will be pruned
and how about the other fellow in his
department.
If the final report is put off much
longer the city will lose about 80 l-S
per cent of the efficiency of its forces
because of the uncertainty and suspense
that hangs over all departments with
Pressure Was Strong
1t is conceded that the police will lose
fifteen men. The detectives who earn $25
more than sergeants were able to muster
enough pressure to save any cuts; SO
were the men higher up.
The fire department members get such
small pay that there can be no reduction
there unless companies are disbanded.
The civil service commission, street
department and engineers office must
each spare a few men or cut the run
ming expenses accordingly.
The greatest interest centers in the
health department. No one came for
ward to protect this branch and even
the Walter Parker representatives said
nothing, though it is presumed they Will
dictate which of the ten men must walk
the plank.
Though Henry Sief, assistant clerk, is
marked for decapitation out of Difference
to Councilman e. A. Clampitt, Sief may
be made an inspector and some other
inspector will be sacrificed. Sief lives
in the Second ward and Clampitt re-
CARDS his services as being valuable to
the department.

Lodging House Inspector Thomas A.
West, who lives in Councilman Wren's
ward. has done efficient work, but he Is
marked to go through because certain
Influences have so willed West was once
brought into the fight on Arnold, the
money broker, in the department and
this may be the wedge working against
him.
"WeSt has brought IN MS pay seVerdl
times over each month";" said a friend
of his, because he has found dozens
of boarding houses which the collector
office knew nothing of. AS soon as the
auditor saw Vests list he turned the
names over to the collector and they
at once proceeded to collect tax which
hitherto has been evaded."
Police Must Do Inspecting
Mayor Harper repeated yesterday that
he was satisfied that the best solution
had been reached.
He regretted to see the health depart
ment force cut, but he believes that q
smaller force of efficient loyal men Will
do more than the force in the past torn
by internal office politics, which left the
men but little time for working for the
city
The police will also be required to dc
more inspection work.
At least one of the inspectors marked
for decapitation will get back his olo
lob in the police depa; tment. 1t is now
being filed by an emergency appointee
