II all the timbeis used in bracine the
streets about the hole ont of which is
to rise the sl4 900 Equitable Build
ing were placed end to end they would
reach n point nearly forty miles north
OF Albany. II the timbers were of the
same thickness this foot wide ribbon of
lumber would touch point about five
miles south of Plattsburg. which is
within twenty miles Of the Canadian
border Of the state. Never before in this
,!t, mas 80 much yellow pine. or for that
matter any kind of lumber been used
fot similar purposes in single block.
The Pennsylvania Railroad did not use
very much more in building its station.
which covers four square blocks. There
: only one other Improvement in this
city where more lumber is known to
have been used and that was the pres
,ni subway.
only those in the buildings surround
ing the big hole are aware of the forest
of timbers that have been swung over
tn, broadway crowds and into the
excavation since August. The high
board fence has concealed the entire
oI,rdtion from the curious eyes Of
Sew Workers. Those who have not
been able TO get peek over the green
fence at the tangle of beams and the
army OF workmen crawling over them

necessary to hew down upward OF 6OO,-
900 feet OF trees to fill Mr.. O'Rourke's q
order. The trees were hauled to the
mill and barked and squared. the
Equitable contract has meant the pass
ing OF thousands Of giants Of the sea
board forest. 1t Is estimated that
nearly 100000 sixty foot timbers have
been used in snoring the foundation
since ii was begun in August. That
means that at least that many trees
have disappeared from the pine belt,
When 1t is considered they measured
more than sixty feet before the first
limit was reached one may get an idea
of the fine forest specimens that have
been planted between broadway and
Nassau street, Pine and Cedar streets.
Had the contract required longer
timbers Oregon would have been called
upon to help New York build its mos
spacious Office building. For the sub
way many Oregon giants were shipped
across the continent. This was tn"
only time tiinbers had to be shipped
from so far west. Nearly every day
four and half acres Of timber Is used
in the Equitable Improvement. The
average growth Of an acre in the yell
timber This means that $4,000 feet OF
pine is planted in the block every day.
1t is brought in specially constructed
motor trucks from Greenpoint. These
trucks make three trips day. carrying
each time 5000 feet. Or the output of
an acre and half Of timber. II the
timber used in the hole in a day was
stretched along Broadway it would
reach out more than mile. Ninety
i've miles more of timber will be needed
before the job is finished
The old timber is removed To
ORourke's yard in Greenpoint. where
it is used for other jobs Very littl" of
the great amount of pine that has been
used in construction here finds another
market. That is. only a small amount
reaches the second hand lumber dealer
The timber used in Constructing tn"
present subway was never removed from
the ground. No doubt IL has done much
in relieving the strain on the subway
walls from shifting earth. Much "f tn"
10000 tons Of machinery assembled in
the Equitable block is required for
handling the many miles Of timber
that have been used there. Beams
have been sunk far into the earth, and
around the four sides of the block is d
skin Of pine that had to be driven into
the soil II the 100000 feet already
used in the operation had been turned
