A0UEDUCT VALVES
FOUND DEFECTIVE

Not Expected TO Delay Open

Recent tests by engineers ~ the
Board OF Water Supply have disclosed
hat many Of the bronze valves and cast
ings In the new Catskill aqueduct are
defective and will have 20 he replaced
Just how serious the situation Is Will
rot be determined until the tests have

neer Alfred n. Finn. who is in Indirect
charge Of the work. said yesterday that
there is no foundation for the conclu-
sion that necessary changes will Involve
a delay In the opening Of the system.
Mr.. Finn Described tho situation as
annoying rather than serious. The valves
involved are located in chambers directly
below the surface and are easily acces-
siblc. Reports that II would hc ueces-
sary to go down hundreds OF feet below

cost of removing the defective valves at
this time. but he was sure IL would not

duce project was taken into considera-
ton.
The use Of bronze IN casting tho big
valves was largely an experiment. MIR.
Finn explained that in constructors the

Board of Water Supply were DESTROYS

able m~echanisms. BronZc valves have
been largely used I'm Germany and Eng
land for such purposes during the last
forty years, and they are also installed
aboard the new ships of the navy. The
decision to use them in the aqueduCt was
one OF many decisions made after care
full comparison Of old methods with
new, Mr.. Finn said tho failure OF
some OF the valves does not indict the
determination to use them nor does II
mean that the valves by which these are

pectations.
Mr.. Finn said hat when the valves
were tested the first time they appeared
to be all right. The second test, thai
which disclosed the defects. was made
in the section of the city tunnel between
shaft No. 10. near Ninety-seventh street
by the side of Central Park. and shaft
No. Is, near T~wenty-third street, Man

sponsible for The low percentage of fires.
according to figures compiled yesterday
from the report OF Fire Commissioner
Robert Adamson. The estimated loss
from fire last year in New York was
sS,2l7,sll. only 3 per cent, OF the total
loss Is attributed to defects in electrical
systems or traCeable TO violations OF
the Fire Departments warnings.
These figures are remarkable in view
OF the fact that the city has 375.O37
buildings among which are tho tallest
structures In the world, Most of the
fires were caused by tho careless use
of matches. kerosene. gasolene and coal
stoves. Fires from these sources totalled

In other cities also there has been a
decided decrease in fires, due TO the use
or electricity. Only | per cent OF the

ports, was charged to electricity. out
