SIX STORIES UNDER GROUND
A NEW IDEA IN ERECTING Sky
SCRAPER BUILDINGS.
Is to Begin With FOrty-Three
Story Structure. Subterranean
Floors Are Already Leased.


Floors Are Already Leased.
The proposed forty-three story
building at No. SO Broadway, New
York city, marks the beginning of a
new movement in skyscraper con-
struction, for six stories will be I'M
derground, and they have already
been rented on a long lease for a
total rental of one million dollars.
William c. Hazlett is the architect,
and in an interview granted to The
! New York World told about the
plans for the new building.
1t will be constructed by the
Broadway and New Street Realty
Company at a cost of nearly four
million dollars, of white enameled
brick and terra Gotta, and will be
five hundred and thirty-six feet six
inches tall, the tallest single, COM
pact building in New York. And
in view of the probable action of the
city to limit the height of buildings,
it will, according to Mr.. Hazlett, be
the last of skyscrapers in New York
The Singer and Metropolitan build
ings alone in the city tower higher
than will the proposed building, but
neither said Mr.. Hazlett, is a com
pact structure.
Why He Went So Far Underground.
When asked how he happened to
plan six stories underground Mr.
Hazlett said:
"A man asked us how far we pro-
posed to carry the building down
into the ground and | told him
about fifty feet. If you will carry
it down as far as you possibly can,
he said, I will rent all the space on
a long lease
Il asked him what he wanted to
use it for, and he said, 4 won't tell
you, but it will be for a legitimate
purpose
SO we planned for a structure
five stories below water level; so
tenants in the lower levels can't
hang pictures by driving holes
through the walls"
With the improved methods of
lighting, ventilation and heating the
underground rooms will be just as
healthful as the thousands of offices
above ground where artificial light
is used during the day.
Engine and Boilers.
An extraordinary feature of the
new plans is that the engine and
boiler room will be on the third and
fourth floors. There will not be
enough wood in the building to
make a toothpick. There will be
in it nine to ten thousand tons of
steel, twelve million bricks and nine
acres of rental area. The hole in
which the building will set would
contain the average five story apart

The Edition

The special edition of the Daily
Sentinel, known as the High Line
Jubilee edition, is before you. 1t
does not measure up to the standard
we set for ourselves. but it will be
found to contain facts that are worth
while to every intending settler or
resident in this city or valley. The
single item of building statistics, lab
oriously gathered and absolutely re-
liable, is invaluable as means to be
cited of the progress of this city ana
valley.
The history of the Fruit Growers
association; the struggle to secure
the building of the High Line canal:
the history and progress of the var
ious industries of the city, will be
missionaries of promise to those who
are turning or will turn their eyes
toward the most remarkable and pro
ductive valley in the world today.
The Sentinel is greatly indebted
for services rendered by Mr.. ]. p
| Cuddy and Mr.. A. c. Newton.
The entire charge of the paper has
been in the hands of Mr.. Walter
Walker, whose untiring and faithful
work has made it what it is. What /
lacks in typographical appearance /
makes up in absolutely reliable facts
that can be sent anywhere withou
fear that what has been said may b,
questioned.

History of the Project

When anyone shall undertake the
work of telling all the history of the
attempts that have been made to Sc
cure the construction of high line
canal in the Grand Valley, their
starting point will be at the time the
pioneers followed on the footsteps
of the Redmen, as he left this coun-
try.
The history of the work to secure
High Line canal is contemporary
with the history Of the settlement of
the valley. 1t has ever been the
dream of the people who have made
this their home.
Almost a quarter of century ago
Matt Arch, who built the Grand Val
ley canal, began surveys for a High
line canal and ever since the sur
veys made by him, there have been
divers attempts made to secure the
construction of this great irrigation
waterway.
1t is almost forgotten history thai
the state of Colorado Joined the peo-
| Pile of this valley in an effort to CON
struct the canal. A bill was intro
duced in the state legislature ap
propriating $4,000 for construct
ion of the Mesa County State ditcl

to give the matter his cordial CO.
operation and earnest attention and
as a result an appropriation Of $780,
900 has been set aside by the recla-
ernment to make complete surveys
for the construction of the High Limo
canal in tie Grand Valley.
While no one may definitely say.
when sctual construction work will
begin on this great enterprise, it is
anticipated that active work viii
have been underway for a consider
able period before the close of the
present year.
1t does not require any very bril-
liant Imagination to horoscope the
future of this city, with the great ad-
ditional population which must re-
