Mexico Riled Up

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 3.-MeXican

of promotion circulars from this
country.
Many have been returned marked

they know nothing of the meaning
of the stamp fraudulent and
that they demand an explanation
from Washington.
SO far as is known here no

trio Company will be built upon this
buried forest, above the place of
mosquitoes and traditional swampland.
In the fall OF next year the cable
factory will be in operation. The
works will grow with the demand
for communication equipment which
has been causing pressure for more
and yet more productive capacity.
No factory sites of sixty acres are
available in the Metropolitan District
except those which must be blasted
and carved out of solid rock--or
those which must be built upon piles
like Kearny. The choice of the
Kearny site rested upon the feasibil
ity of what is being done in the
swamps by the pile drivers and
unique construction work which will
come later.
Twelve pile drivers have been at
work. The hammer OF one taken
alone weighs thirteen tons. The size
of these huge implements is impress
sive in itself, but the adaptability
which they have to the job in hand
is even more so. For the work upon
land, one kind of pile driver is re-
CURED; for work upon water, another.
Two entirely different sorts of pile
driving are going on side by side for
this reason. Floating in the Passaic
River is an absolutely new type OF
Imperial Valley press., 1923-12-03

driver constructed especially for the
work. This driver is so constructed
that the steam hammer can be SUBJ
merged in the water permitting the
driving of the piles to exact grade
IL feet under the water. Working
with ordinary equipment and methods
the pile must be driven into place
with its top entirely above the surface
of the water; then the pile must be
sawed off below the water.
The floating pile drivers have a
draft of about five feet. For part of
the site of the Kearny power house
it was necessary to carry on dredging
operations so that the drivers could
get into place afoat. The dredges
and scows had an even deeper draft,
so that the site had to be scooped
out eleven feet deep under water.
After the piles are driven and the
drivers have withdrawn, the site must
be filled in again.
AS many as $50 piles have been
driven i'll single day and as many
as 1000 in single week. The scale
on which these pile drivers have
been operating is probably not
equalled in the record of any similar
enterprise. But before the develop
ment is finished 100000 piles will be
placed; and this number is the equiv

William Jennings Bryan entered

Bryan apparently made little
pogress with his suggestions. Dem

HEAVY pile drivers are hammer
~ ing a whole forest deep into the
mud OF New Jersey marshes. Where
the Hackensack and the Passaic
Rivers join their sluggish currents,
and clumps of cat tails and rank
marsh grass have maintained su-
prcmacy Of wet desolation, the pile
drivers are now towering like the
derrcks Of an oil field.
The undertaking which will place
a great factory where there has been
only mud and swamp growth is one
Of the most interesting in the country
from an engineering as well as a
popular standpoint. Here are novel
principles of construction, great tools
for driving and building fashioned
especially for work in swamps,
methods of work used seldom if ever
before; here is a great industrial site
that must be part dug out of mud
and part filled into what is now water
Here also is a project which will
use the equivalent OF $50 acres or
onc-half square mile of forest for
piles.
The development is on such scale
that it ranks as one OF the most i'm.
portant manufacturing projects now
planned in America. After the pile
drivers have done their work, the

least thousand acres or ~ miles.
The piles range in length from Il
to 90 feet. Some are driven much
deeper than others; all must penetrat,
the mud to the hard bottom of fin,
red clay and sand. Specifications re-
quire that each pile be capable o
sustaining IS tons. but as a matte
OF fact each is capable of a mucl
greater burden.
Striking as the forest of piles t.
be driven may be, figures as to tn,
amount of fill necessary are scarceh
less so. 1t is estimated on a con
servative basis that 10000 cuhi,
yards of fill will be needed in tn,
development now under way Prob
ably another 100000 cubic yards viii
be required later, part of which viii
be made up of excavated material.
The Biblical injunction to buib
upon rock. and not upon shiftini
sands has come down from ancien
times. Here are engineers, not ig
noring that wisdom from the sages
but opening up new alternative
that OF building upon piles driver
through the shifting sands and mud
And in more than one sense the pile
are outposts of industry-rhc advanc,
guard Of industrial progress as wei
as of the conquest OF the Jersey
marshes.
