FSS THE WORLD: FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 8, 1903. HE SEES PERL WN CROTON AM Low’s Expert Engineer Fears that the Great Croton Water Wall Is Built on a Crumbling Foundation. TOO MUCH “SUGAR” IN IT. Prof. W. H. Burr, an expert, em- ployed by Mayor Low to report on the $6,000,000 Cornell Dam, the biggest work in the new Croton system, has dis- covered that « large section of the dam rests on crumbling limestone that is of abgat the consistency and solidity of granulated sugar. That section of the dam waa found to be of bad construction two years ago and ordered torn down by Mayor Van Wyck.

Fixcavations are now being made in the hope of find- ing solid rock, but it is admitted that none is in sight, The increased cost due to the faulty foundation is now estl- mated at $1,000,000, but (wo greater ques- tions than that 2 It Is not cert foundation does giant masonry section of the feet high.
