Meanwhile the work on the tunnel under
the river continued, and there the slighter
faults were corrected upon practically the
same plan as that employed in the Brooklyn
approaches. Here. however. luckily. IL
was found unnecessary to lift the roof. All
the corrections were made by removing
material from the bottom.
1t was seen months ago that the work OF
correction would be successful and that the
tunnels could be completed in due time,
and that throughout the whole length
there would be head room above the roof
Of the cars Of at least eight inches, as re-
quired by the original plan of Mr.. Parsons.
AS a matter Of fact. the tunnels In the
Brooklyn approaches now conform al
nos exactly TO the grade as originally
planned. The line Of the tunnel has never
been incorrect The post Of making the
corrections has been a little within the
amount expected.
So far as the Brooklyn approaches are
concerned nothing now remains to be
done in order that the tunnel should be
ready to serve its purposes except to re-
move the debris and machinery and lay
the tracks. and as a matter Of fact. track
laying has actually begun In one Of the
tunnels. and 1t will be possible before mid
summer to run a train between Manhattan
and Brooklyn beneath the East River.

The suggestion from tho Brooklyn con-
tractors ONCE impressed many engineers
favordbly, and Chief Engineer Rice Of
the Rapid Transit Commission especially
approved II. In the end the contractors,
with the consent Of the other contractors,
who had undertaken the tunnel beneath
the river, were asAed TO attempt the correo-
ton Of one hundred feet Of the tunnel at
the upper part Of the Brooklyn approach.
This was really an experiment to DEM
strate q theory.
Beginning In the south tube under Jorale-
mon street In the spring OF 1909, they fin
ished the one hundred feet about the middle
Of May. Mr.. Jacobs, who was still adj
vising as to the tunnel, inspected the work
and pronounced It successful. He was
still Of the opinion, however, that the safer
method as to the tunnels as q whole would
be to make the corrections upon his orig
inal plan, and he was extremely doubtful
as to whether in the deeper portions Of the
tunnel the scheme that had been applied
to this one hundred feet could be success
fully used
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1907-05-19

The mt ctors were then asked to
make demonstration in the deeper parts
Of the Brooklyn approach. They made
the demonstration successfully in a section
Of 90 feet, and they received the contract
for correcting all the defects Of grade in
the Brooklyn approach, which involved
work in portions OF both tunnels for a dis
tance Of about s25 feet.
The problem for the chief engineer
James C. Meens, who was placed in charge
Of the work was to take that part OF the
tunnel which according to the original
plans was to have a grade Of 8 lilo per cent?
about that Of the Brooklyn Bridge APP
proaches, but which now varied in grade
from a level to S per cent, and maxi it
conform as nearly as possible to the original
scheme.
The work began early in the summer Of
1900 and was pushed day and night with as
many as 100 men employed, chiefly Hun
garian miners. The required head DON
above the roof of the cars throughout
the tunnel was eight inches. In some
places the lead room was nothing.
At some points the bottom Of the tunnel
was more than a foot below grade. At some
points the roofwas thirty inches below grade.

Brooklyn side. There were other defects,
though less serious, in the part under the
river. All have now been corrected.
The Subway Construction Company, the
contractors for the unnels under the Rapid
Transit Commission, undertook to construct
the approaches on both sides, as we'll as
the part under the river. 1t was discov-
cred more than two years ago that there
were faults in the Brooklyn approaches.
The tunnel had there fallen below grade.
1t was brought back to grade and then
carried on. Everybody on the inside
knew, however, that some corrective work
must eventually be undertaken. A little
more than a year ago it was seen that this
corrective work must be undertaken i'm
mediately or the work OF completing the
tunnel would be indefinitely delayed.
The city, as represented by the Rapid
Transit Commission, hesitated to insist
that the general contractor should under
take the corrections Upon any particular
plan, for. should the plan fail, the respon-
sibility would then have rested upon the city.
The general contractor in turn hesitated
for like reasons to insist that the sub-con-
tractor should employ a particular plan
for the corrections. At this point Charles

N. Jacobs, the English engineer who has
charge Of the Pennsylvania tunnels, was
called in to give an expert opinion upon the
situation.
His report turned everybody sghast.
He said in effect that the tunnels we're not
viAble. and he believed that the only safe
redrive the tunnels with a larger diameter
outside those already constructed so as to
take up the defects,
What Mr.. Jacobs proposed looked like a
certain and safe method Of correcting the
defects Of the tunnels, but il meant the de-
struction Of a large part Of the work already
done, an enormous expense, and consider
able delay, Nevertheless preparations wereI
made &c do the work upon this plan. and

perhaps the corrections could be made
by lowering the bottom OF the two tunnels.
Already there hpd been an utterly vain

Then, too. n section Of one had been cut

into. a great refrigerator, 2O0'feet long, in
which tho temperature was maintained
below zero. with the result that that tunnel
was surrounded with n jacket Of frozen

For It's feet In the south tunnel and for
lightweight feet in the north the bottom
plates we're removed, the bottom wac
scraped out to the necessary depth and a
reinforced concrete bottom was substituted
for the iron plates. For $40 feet in the south
tunnel and for the larger part OF the north
tunnel the original iron bottom plates
were removed, the bottom was dug out
TO the necessary depth and new iron plates
were inserted.
The form of the tunnel where these
changes we're made was no longer circular
Where the concrete bottom was put in
the form closely resembled a horseshoe.
Where the new iron plates we're put in
the form was nearly that Of an oval with
the narrow end down.
Il WAS seen in the course Of the work that
an immense amount Of bottom digging
could be saved IL at certain points the
roof could he raised, but this was recognized
as presenting a great difficulty, Chief
Engineer Mems, however. hit upon a plan
that worked.
Al about the middle Of each tunnel, where
tho roof was especially low. he erected
strongly supported steel tables. and upon
these he mounted hydraulic jacks with a
lifting power Of 800 tons. Then one roof
plato nj a time was loosed from It's neigh
bors and perforated with five or six one inch
holes.
After that iron pokers were thrust through
these holes. and the earth above was loos-
ened and taken out literally in small hand

Five Million Dollars 10 he Spent in Develop
ins and Beautifying the City.
An arrangement has just been made
between the Italian Ministry and the NUM-
cipal authorities Of Rome Of the passage
by the chambers Of a bill authorizing the
national Treasury to advance to the city
about 5 5000, 900 for the development and
Identification OF the city. In case the bill
passes nearly a million will be expended
in the erection OF improved dwellings for
the working class. The rest will be used
in providing modern municipal facilities
and opening new regions for building.
1t is explained that In the last few years
Rome has taken an enormous squirt. The
population. fixed and transitory, has grown
80 fast that rents have doubled, and aver
at high rates it is impossible to get accom-
mediation.
In the last few years two new quarters
we're laid out-one near the Porta Pia and on
the Pincio, where the Ludovisi Park onoe
was, and the other behind the castle OF
st. Angelo and the Vatican. But these are
already provided No place can be rented

or as a winter resort. The number Of
transients. too, steadily increases.
Fine hotels that have been erected in
the Ludovisi quarter are constantly full
and boarding houses are innumerable.
There are whole streets OF them, and all

Besides these, hundreds Of what the

by the weather. settlers. These cluster
mainly about the palace Of Queen Mar

Besides this influx Of foreign settlers,
Of course, the hocks OF pilgrims and tourists
increase every year. The Italian Parliament
and the Government business add TO the
throng, and naturally the population which
caters TO all these elements and lives on
them has increased enormously.

BROOKLYN TUBES MADE TRUE
STRAIGHTENING OF THE EAST
RIVER TUNNELS FINISHED.

They Now Conform Almost Exactly TO the
Original Grade The Work OF Correct

OF En=Ineerlng-HOW Il Was Done.
? The work Of correcting defects in the
rapid transit tunnels between Manhattan
and Brooklyn has practically been finished,
and the tunnels now conform almost exactly
to the grades as originally planned.
This work has occupied rather moro
than a year, but meanwhile the general
construction Of the tunnels has not been in
%terrupted and their completion has not
peer delayed. The worst faults in the tun-
nels, those which for a time frightened
the engineers, the contractors and the
Rapid Transit Commission, occurred in
the approaches TO the East River from the
