Col Casey. as was his father, is a West
Point graduate. The latter was MEM
Der OF the National Academy of Sciences
and many other scientific societies. and
was an officer OF the Legion of Honor Of
France
The engineer officer in charge of public
buildings and grounds is Lieut.. Col.
Charles d. Bromwell 1t is Col. Brom-
wells duty after buildings and other pub
lie works have been constructed to look
after them and keep them In good repair
He has a force varying numerically from
GO to 300 or more, and ranging all the
way from civil engineer assistant and
chief clerk to the peripatetic individuals
who collect leaves, paper bags, etc. upon
the public parks and cOnsign them to a
bag. Indeed, Col. BromwelPs province
and official duties necessitate his enlist
ing the services of persons of the most
varied and diverse accomplishments Not
long ago. and. indeed just prior to the
gathering of the lawmakers upon the Cap
itoline Hill, the attainments of a profess
sional rat catcher. who, in turn. had
under him a number of those active and
ingenious animals yclept ferrets were
called into requisition. Then, it is rumor-
ed were enacted strange scenes in the
kitchens beneath the restaurants in which
dine the solons. From out of caIdrons
and kettles-but. enough. draw the cur
tain; there are certain tragedies which do
not permit themselves to be read much
less written.
Col Bromwell is usually to be encoun-
tered behind a roomy and extensive desk
in impressive solitude. His commodious
Office is located In the Lemon building
and he is a man Of but few words. of
which. however he is manifestly very
careful, dispensing them slowly. Ever
and anon his gaze rests upon the great
white shaft in front of his window, which
is of1cially under his care. Unto the
colonel report the numerous superintend-

mated a warden for the Monument itself

Col. Bromwel has a landscape gardner
of remarkable attainments in Mr.. George
H. Brown. Notwithstanding the multi
farious activities represented by the office
OF superintendent of public buildings and
grounds there is peaceful serenity gen
orally prevalent in the Office itself that Is
distinctly soothing One is brought to
feel almost instinctively that here Is in a
measure toned down that rigid stern air
of miitarism generally predominant in
other engineer offices. Indeed there Is
more than a dash of the esthetic in the
duties OF Col. Bromweil. The visitor is

of which. came from the section under
meath Rook creek. The creek had broken
through the partition of earth and assures
In the rock and had been steadily pouring
into the tunnel Most of this flow had
been stopped. but for long time we were
still pumping 800. 900 gallons a day from
the tunnel.
The next thing. Continued Mr.. Smead
was to repair the shafts, five in number
and put in hoisting apparatus. The re-
pairing was very difficult and dangerous
work The shaft timber had bulged in
wardly nearly a foot. and while the men
were at work they never knew what min
ute the entire mass would fall in upon
them and bury them beneath the debris.
The task was accomplished in safety.
however. and the engineers set to work to
clean out the tunnel. We certainly found
an awful mess. Some OOO0 tons of muck
and stone and seventy-two cords of tim
ber. which had been used by the con-
tractors as backing to the brick lining
instead of stone were removed. There
were cavities back of the brick lining
thirty feet high and fifty feet long and
into these cord wood and pine timbers
had been thrown. All these spaces We
filled with rubbIe masonry. well grouted
by means of a pump which forces the ce
ment into the smallest crevices between
the stones After thoroughly cleaning the
tunnel we laid railroad track its entire
length and upon this were run the cars
which carried the brick, mortar and stone.
Two acetylene gas plants were installed
and q three-indh gas main was run
through the tunnel. supplying light at the
points where the workmen were engaged.
Artificial ventilation. we found. was not
necessary. That portion of the work done
by the original contractors which was
tunneled through the solid rock was
found to be merely arched over with
brick the floor being formed by the nat
ural rock. 1t became necessary to build
an invert vault in such places and this
added considerably to the labor of re-
construction. Indeed. much of the vault
ing throughout the entire tunnel had to
be done over again.
"The hardest work, however. was of
course encountered i'm putting in the
stone backing. Holes We're cut in the
roof of the vault at every few feet lead
ing into the spaces back of the extrados.
Rubble masonry was hoisted through
these holes and laid in cement until
solid mass extended from the brick lining
to the rock"

There is no one living today better
