SUBWAY CONSTRUCTION
CALLED STEADY PERIL
Expert Engineers Report to p.
5. E. on Constant Danger
From slides.

Edmund 8 Davis OF Boston, and
Henry ". Quimby OF Boston, employed
by the Public Service Commission to re-
port on methods that might provide
greater safety to the public In connection
with the construction OF subways, re-
ported yesterday that n menace On-
stantly exists in the possibility OF rock
slides.
The engineers. after making thor
ough examination of the construction
work. offered suggestions. The hrst
recommendation was that where the
rock strata give signs OF disintegRtion
the sides should be shored across the
trench so as ~ form a continuous
strut from side to side.
They recommended also that the per
mansN subway construction should fos-
low as closely IA possible the eNcavA =
tion work that In the false construction
the joints of the uprights should be
spliced with the cross beams to prevent
buckling that periodic inspections
should be made Of the Snoring work.
The experts reported that with sI,e-
cial reference TO the method used by
the Irdted States Realty and Improve
ment Company. in whose work the two
recent casualties occurred. We found
that the sizes OF the material used Tor
the various members give ample
strength for the loads imposed by the

Alfred craven. chief engineer OF tho
Public Service Commission, pointed out
that in view OF the great amount of
''cut and cover" work done the number
of accidents was remarkably few.

"Ar, the United States disposed to ad-

WAsiiI SGToS, Oct. AS result
Of Secretary Daniels's conference with
President Wilson and Representative
padgett with reference to the naval pro-
gramme to be recommended 10 congress
this year. navy officers are beginning to
feel confident that request will be
made for approximately s1O0. 100000 for
new construction in the navy. This g.
innate is admitted to be liberal a. d
the expectation is that 1t may prove
more than Congress will give.
As the appropriations needed for the
maintenance Of the navy and continue
,ion OF existing projects will this year
amount to about 3l25,0O0.000 or AGO.
600, 900, the appropriation OF. 500. 00O.-
GOO for new construction would
make the total bill amount to
about 322s, ,0O0.O 900. II any re-
ductions are made In this total by Con-
gress they are expected to come from
the amount allotted to new construc-
tion. as the other estimates are about
$4,000. 900 larger than last year
This increase In due to the fact that
during the last two years expenditures
which really were necessary have been
deferred for the purpose of keeping dow n
