GREAT EVENT FOR new YORK
THE METROPOLIS AT LAST HAS
PURE WATER.
Digging Of Remarkable Water System
Tunnel Under the Hudson River
Is Completed.

New York, Jan. 30-The forging OF
! the greatest link in the greatest chain
of its kind in the worlds history was
| completed precisely at noon today
when blast of dynamite, fired LOO
| feet under the surface of the Hudson
river at Storm King. n. Y, concluded
| the digging of tunnel through which
| in years 10 come will pour millions
of gallons OF water from the Catskill
mountains for consumption by the city
| of New York. more than a hundred
miles distant
Mayor Gaynor and members OF the
| board of water supply were present
to officially celebrate the event and.
as soon as the debris of the blast was
cleared away. they walked through
| the 5000 feet length of the tunnel
| from shore to shore.
The successful completion of the
under-theriver tunnel marks the final
definite assurance of the practicabllity
of the colossal waterworks scheme for
which New York city will spend $780,
600 900 before work ceases on it. The
constructing of the great Ashokan
dam and reservoir. with an area great
er than Manhattan island itself; the
building of the 15A miles of serpent.
like auueduct. with its halfdozen SUBJ
reservoirs. and the laying of miles
upon miles of tributary piping under
the city itself are problems to tax the
ingenuity and resources of the great
est of engineers and constructors, but
none of these tasks was as battling or
doubtful of consummation as the Dor
ing under the Hudson.
The city had great difficulty in find
ing suitable location for crossing IN
der the river. as it was necessary to
find solid stratum of rock without
break through which the tunnel
could be carried. The tunnel is IS
feet wide in diameter and cylindrical.
The diameter will be reduced to IA
feet when the concrete lining is in
place
The danger of a serious water fam
ire in New York was foreseen by in
vestigators many years ago. The
present system is barely able to meet
the demands now made upon it, but
the new system will be able to sup
ply an entire city OF 100000. which
it is estimated New York will have by
1880. Also the general plan is
such that It's capacity can be doubled
| by construction of additional dams
in the Cats!ils that would require
less than a years work TO build.
