FOR SUBWAY CAVEINS
Wallstein Tells Mayor Trouble
Was Due to Inadequate
Timbcring.

Commissioner OF Accounts Wallstein.
who was asked by Mayor Mitchell to
determine the cause Of the collapse Of
the subway AT Seventh avenue and
Tventv-ffth street and at Broadway
and Thirty-eighth street, reported yes
terday as follows:
My conclusion as to both II that
the progressive collapse of the road
way was due to inadequate supporting
structure beneath the surface. Al
=. venth venue the COLLAPSE was initi-
atcd by the impact OF rock hurled by n
blast against part of the temporary
supporting structure and at Broadway
by the impact of rock which foN from
the side of the excavation against part
of the temporary supporting structure"
In Seventh avenue says Mr.. WALL
stein, there were 10 adequate precau-
tons against displacement of the tim
boring, and the knocking out OF n
post below the steel or Of any steel
beam was sufficient to tumble the whole
structure. He also finds tina; the four
blast holes which were fired slmulta-
~neously were excessivcly loaded. con-
sidoring the presence of seams In the
rock. OF the Broadway accident he
sans:
"~Substantiallv all the elements OF
weakness In the seventh Venue stric-
,ure were here repeated. with even
greater need here for cross bracing
