CHICAGO SKYSCRAPERS
REST ON SOLID ROCK;
! IMPOSSIBLE TO SLIP
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Dec. 10. - Chicago,s
three leaning towers" sky-scrapers
built during the nineties, now are
resting firmly on bedrock founda
lions so feet below the surface. The
three big office buildings, among the
first in the skyscraper class, were
originally built on pile foundations
and when the piles settled they were
left noticeably out of plumb.
An inquiry disclosed that all three
had been lacked up while foundations
were continued down to the solid
rock, and that since the alteration was
made there has been no further set
Ting.
Chicago is undertake by a solid silu
rian deposit of Niagara limestone
from 40 to 80 feet down. Over it is
a loose deposit of blue clay and other
material.
Some of the first skyscrapers, fol
lowing building methods then in vogue
were erected on forests of piling, bu,
the foundations proved unsuited tc
holding the immense weight of the
big office structures.
Impossible to ship.
Chicago's building laws limit the
iAClSllb VI OlllSC W ZUU lCCl
1t is impossible, biologists at the Uni
versity of Chicago say, to pile VI
enough weight within that limit to
cause any shifting or slipping of the
bedrock foundation. The clay depos
its above the rock, on the other hand
are subject to slight slipping move
ment.
Workmen who dug the 60 miles OF
freight subway under the loop streets
found that blue clay had about the
consistency of well worked putty, and
that il was impossible to handle it by
any ordinary methods. They finally
solved the problem to equiping steel
bands three feet long with handles
like a cross-cut saw.
Holding the blade in both hands
the workman would bend it into the
form of horseshoe and hack out the
soft clay from the tunel heading
while compressed air held back the
mass until forms could be placed and
the concrete walls poured.
