_—— M.L.T. COURSE IS OFFERING HELP Willing to Co-operate With New England Council Boston, Feb. 1 (UP)—The new livision of municipal and industrial research at Massachusetts Institute Technology, has offered to co- operate with the New England council in making its services availa- ble to New England communities in- terested in industrial growth or civic betterment. The council has taken steps to wcquaint all community organiza- tions in New England with this of- W. A. Bassett, in charge of the di- vision, recently met with the coun- cil's committee on public relations and contmunity 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 y of designating the new work at the institute,” Basselt wrote the council, “is that of community plan- ning, 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 “to making in- dustrial surveys of communities where conditions seem to justify or demand such intensive study. I might state that an industrial survey as we understand it should provide for making a descriptive inventory of industries within a community and sorrelating the information thus ob- tained with a study of facilities and services both furnished by local gov- ernment and private enterprise tha in any way affect industry. The a thus obtained should give an ade- quate picture of local conditions in 1 community that will enable wnalyzing its particular needs and making suitable recommendations for meeting those needs.” Y.

'NEW YORK, WITH HIGH BUILDINGS, - REALLY IS ALMOST ON SEA LEVEL At No Point Below 42nd Street Is Elevation More Than 45 Feet Above the Water—New 57 Mile Subway Being Built. New York, Feb. 1 (P—Father Knickerbocker is known to the sky- line gazing visitors as an old fellow with his head held loftily among the clouds. But by those who know their subsurface he is more likely to be envisaged as a gentleman whe had better wear his rubbers lest evolu- tion change his feet into a tail and make a full-fledged merman out of him, For New York, a survey by The Associated Press today reveals, is about the nearest thing in existence to an undersea city. At no point below 42nd street, says the Ingersoll-Rand Company, which has been investigating rock drilling conditions, is the elevation more than 45 feet above sea level. | This means that the bulk of the tall buildings have their foundations be- low the water line. The subways, wherever they have to dip to slide under intersections. Sewers, gas lines, and water pipes, burrow through rock which is a wall be- tween the fishes of the deep and the millions who go hurtling through the tunnels on their way to work or play. The Roaring Descent. New York's rise into the air, while far from halted architecturally has taken second place in construc- tion actlvities this scason. in com- parison with the city's roaring des- cent into the ground. Hundreds of blocks of city street and boarded over and dishes in the kitchen rattled by | blasts far beneath the surface of the strect—these things this winter have forced upon the New Yorker's at- tention the hidden activities of thousands of night and day work- hard rock” men of the big city toring fof subways. Today these men, constituting an entire population which gets its names in the papers only a oot slips and the workman is mo- tored off to the hospital or the morgue, are drilling through miles of New York's bedrock, and trucks firing through the streets are W of earth and rock. With Syrup, Survey Facts. The survey reveals the following facts of under fcotwork: If all the dirst removed in excava- tion work in New York since sky- scrappers and subways became “the thing” were replaced the entire level of Manhattan Island would be 1to 55 to 70 feet above its present level. When the new 8thi 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 mady 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 fect long and one half as high as the Woolworth building. The total amount of concrete | alone, placed in a similar area would | construct a monument 122 feet high and the breadth of a city block. The steel and rods used in the new subway would fill 2,660 freight cars of 30 tons capacity and would require 53 locomotives to haul the train. \ | 57 Mile Subway. | To repay the $500,000,000 cost of | the first link of the new 57 mile subway, which s expected to be | completed this year. 10,000,000,000 passengers must ride on it paying a nickel each. i Since 1,630,000,000 nickels were collected from 21l New York sub- way gates during 1926 at this rate, it will take approximately seven vears to recover the cost of construc- tion. Put the nickels in the favorite | single end-to-end line and the cost price would extend 190,000 miles or seven and one-half times around the globe at the equator. Nickels three-quarters of a foot wide, would make a shiny belt around the mid- dle of the earth. The first link will extend ten and one-half miles, from Greenwich Village to Washington Heights. Most of its depths will be below sea level. | Drill,s plugging through gneiss | stone, make from 100 to 130 feet | a day through hard rock, in contrast with 40 feet a day a few years ago when heavier and slower drills were the only machines available, ! Nordhausen, a quaint city of about | 30,000 inhabitants, located in the | Harz Mountains of Germany, will soon celebrate its thousandth anni- | versary.
