Park Row will be torn up from the Post-Office to Ann street next week 4 ythe work of installing the subway for rapid transit company will be arried through Its most hasardous sec- jon. Owing to the great danger whic Would attend any attempt at blasting in this skyscraper section, the engineers ‘for the Subway Conatruction Company ‘have decided to do away with blasting. ‘The subway engineers are confronted with the greatest problems of the en- tire road in the completion of this se:- ‘tlon of the subway. | Chief Engineer Theodore Paschke, M. A. 8. C. E., who is the engineer in ‘charge of Section No. 1 of the Subway Construction Company, explained a few of the problems with which the engl- Deers were confronted to a World re- Porter to-day. Tannel Along New Lines, “That section extending from the Bridge to Ann street, which Is to in- elude the temporary terminal of the Rapid Transit Company, has within its | Precincts several buildings which were ___ deileved to be in danger through biast- | 44ng_experiments, and the method used ¥ to tunnel here will be along new lines.”” In speaking of the danger points and the methods employed to minimize the anger, Engineer Paschke said: “We found our greatest danger at the cor- her of Park Row and Spruce street, Where our terminal ‘loop’ will pass un- der the main tracks, golng north, before sptsiing an Incline up to the main tracks, E “We have a terminal station under jhe southwest corner of City Hall Park, d after the passenger cars leave the tdge, going south, they will switch on a single track, and describing a circle will pass under the main tracks on Park Row at the corner of Spruce street.

This con- i ference resulted In the solution of the u problem. “It was decided after installing the subway to fill In the space between the steel supports of the tunnel frame and the solid strata adjoining the Times Building with channel bars constructed ‘of steel. Thousands of bars have been used and will be used in similar Ann streets. This incurs a great ex- Pense, but we will not take one chance that might incur danger. “Yn front. of the Park Row Butldtn this method will be employed, and al in front of the Potter Bullding—in fact wherever the engineers decide that the steel filling is necessary. meeting to-day for the purporo of pass- ing John R.
