BORING BIDS OPEN

/ triangle area were taken yeSterda y
when the Treasury Department opened
bids on test boring Ia determine the
character of the subsoi along Eff
teenth street at r where the immense
Department Of Commerce structure
Will I've erected.
Indication of the Government de-
+ sire for the elimination Of further de
lays in making a start on the project
was shown by the fact that bids were
asked on completion Of the job in 80
! and so days
Five bidders presented figures on
three different proposals.
Bids on Drilling.
The firm of Phillip ]. He1loy. Inc
Of New York City, placed the lowest
price on the first IA holes. total
ut 81. S35. while the STANDARD Drilling
Company of New York City was sec =
oud with an offer Of $3.500
The Healev company asked 5000
extra for finishing the Job in 80
Company said they would do it in
so days without extra charge The
Government also asked for bids on
the price per boring of 40 supple
mental holes, in case the first Dor
ings were found TO give insufficient
indication Of the nature OF the sub
surface on which the foundation is
to rest.
The Standard Drilling Co. asked
$165 for each supplemental boring,
whereas the Phillip J. Healey co.
placed a figure of $4.165 on the sup
elemental job. While officials in the
office Of the supervising architect
would not comment on this wide
discrepancy in these two bids. 1t was
believed elsewhere the Healey Co.
had made their figure total for the
whole ~ additional borngs.
Three Other Bids.
Three other bids were as follows:

Discarded Their Parachutes.

When we climbed aboard the plane
we left our parachutes behind for the
first time since leaving Dayton. Para
Chutes would have been of little help
out in the open sea, AS matter of
fact. this was the first time we had
flown without parachUtes since 1922.
that being the year when they were
required 10 be worm by order Of the
chief of the Air Corps.
Parachutes are considered useless
for landing in the open sea, since the
chances are too great that the flyer
will become entanEied in the harness
upon striking tho water In any case,
We would be without means Of staying
afioat after such q landing
The motors had been started as
soon as we got into the pilots cock
pit. Mr.. and Mrs. Maitland were all
this time over at the side lines. as
near as they felt they should come at
such a time when all our attention
must be concentrated on the plane.
We had already said good-by to them
after breakfast
Each motor was speeded up in turn
10 test it. All We're functioning well.
Dimly Heard Last Cheers.
three engines were opened up sim
ultaneously and the plane moved
slowly down the runway. A great
cheer went up from the crowd, of
which we were vaguely conscious
above the roar of the motors.
The tail came up in flying position
after a run of a few hundred feet
The plane slowly gathered speed, the
wheels turning without humping on
the smooth runway, and after a dis
lance of about $500 feet had been
traversed, the plane rose in the air
without effort.
The plane continued directly on her
course in the direction of the Golden
Gate. An altitude of nearly 1000
feet was obtained after passing
through the Gate.
We were now at last actually on
our way. All preparations were be
hind us and we and the sturdy FOX
ker faced the supreme test. But we
faced it with confidence.
