N. |. 7. COURSE IS
Offering help
Willing to Cooperate With New
England Council

Boston, Feb. l (UP)-The new
division of municipal and industrial
research at Massachusetts, Institute
of Technology, has offered to CO.
operate with the New England
council in making its services availa-
bic to New England communities in
terested in industrial growth or civic
betterment
The council has taken steps to
acquaint all community organiza-
tons in New England with this Of
fer.
w. A. Bassett, in charge of the di-
vision, recently met with the coun-
ellis committee on public relations
and community organization and as
sisted that community in formulating
its policy in favor of New England
communities taking inventories of
their economic conditions.
The new division at Technology
already has started preliminary work
upon an industrial survey of metro
politan Providence under the
auspices of the Chamber of Com
merce of that city. Perhaps the best
way of designating the new work at
the institute" BaSsett wrote the
council, lis that of community plan
ming, the idea being to ascertain the
facts necessary on which to base a
plan to meet the requirments of a
community, industrial and social
growth"
In connection with this work. Bas-
sett said it was contemplated to give
particular attention ito making in
dustrial surveys OF communities
where conditions seem to justify or
demand such intensive study. l
might state that an industrial survey
as we understand it should provide
for making descriptive inventory OF
Industries within community and
correlating the information thus OBJ
tanned with study of facilities and
services both furnished by local gov
eminent and private enterprise that
in any way affect industry. The data
thus obtained should give an ade-
quate picture of local conditions in
community that will enable
analyzing its particular needs and
making suitable recommendations
for meeting those needs"

NEW YORK, WITH HIGH BUILDINGS,
REALLY Is ALMOST ON SEA LEVEL
Survey Facts.

The survey reveals the following
facts of under fcotwork:
If all the dirst removed in excava-
ton work in New York since sky
scrappers and subways became the
thing" were replaced the entire
level of Manhattan Island would be
raised to So to 10 feet above its
present level.
When the new Sth avenue subway
is completed, New York's tunnels
could reach from New York to
Philadelphia.
More than 40 per cent of the exca-
vations for the subway lines have
been through solid rock which forms
the bed of the island.
If the dirt and rock hauled out
of the holes made for the latest sub
way were put in one place when the
job is finished, it would make a pile
in a vacant city lot 200 feet wide
by 600 feet long and one half as high
as the Woolworth building.
The total amount of concrete
alone, placed in similar area would
construct monument 122 feet high
and the breadth Of a city block.
The steel and rods used in the
new subway would fill 1850 freight
