et It is & costly lesson which Paris Otfice has experienced and furnished to the ugmlnfln%:’“fi‘ ‘world in the fast growing habit of Willimantic ?‘Q Reem 3, Murray honeycombing the ground upon which Building. Telephone 210. <& city is constructed. The wonder is pei not so great that it has hap- bened now when it is realized how {eities are actually undermined by the below ground rapid transit and sewer construction work, but that it has not appened before. It is not the first time that Paris has suffered from a flood, but it has experfenced a most undesirable revelation of the dangers which have been thrust upon it by the daByrinth of tunnels and underground conduits which have been adequate to take care of the normal conditions, but which furnish the means for frighi ful disasters when the unusual occurs. Lives were lost and great properties endangered by the cave-ins at the French capital, which were only made possible by the extensive excavations. ‘Whether the Parish disclosure will have the beneficial \effect which it should remains to be seen. It certain- ly is ‘'a warning which should not go unheeded in any city where it is pos- sible for like affairs to happen. Such has beéen the prediction-as the resuit of the extensive use which is being made of subterranean structures, es- pecially where great pressure from above is to be experienced. With the great heights to which buildings are being constructed, and the diversified use- which is Dbeing made below the surface of the earth, such trouble as Paris has experienced calls attention to the advisability of trying the other method of developing by broadening out.
