For the nrst limp today the new Broad j street subway under f'liv 1I.U1 wa thrown open for tlio Inspect!"" of a! party of engineer, rlty offiVlaW and prominent Philadelphia!!". The Keystone Stnte Construction dun-. r-any, which ha- built tlio great etruc-, ture, acted as host to the visitors. The trip van arranged by tlio r.nglncers' riub, of this city, which font out tlio Invitations. The visiting party was Invited to a special luncheon at the clubhouse, alter which they wero talten to tho subway and shown around by odk-lals of the construction company. The- party viewed one of the tnot astonWUng pieces of engineering work or modern times Dav by day. slneo work m bfcun September 11. 191C Phtladelphlnns hae carried on the- ordinal y butlnt of life above and nround tho Great rvcav.itlon approximately 10G feet wide bv 7ou feet onK scarcelv realizing that below the surface of the street bundled of men were busy on a Job nt big and as dif ficult us It was important. The subway structure which was hhoun for the first time today tt n em bers of the englnreilns profession, municipal oltlclals and men prominent In the city's life, will be the heart of the new underground transit s stein. A few vears hence the bis subway terminal under City Hall will be as familiar nnd ss Important to riilladeltihlaiis as Hroad Street Station nearby. Then passengers for the new subway lines will enter the groat terminal hall under tlm Public Building by entrance stairways from rity Hall courtard and from the plazas outside. Work R.1 l'er Cent Completed Tho parly which visited the subway today saw the great stiucture In the rough. Though It Is S3 per font com pleted, the work wbi. h tem.iln to be done will greatly aller Its present ap pearance. The visitors todav went through hURe galleries, flanked In- pon derous walls of concrete nnd toofed with tremendous girders and archwavs of concrete and steel What engineers call the "core" of tho work has not yet been remoed. This "coie" consists of tlio rubblo nnd dirt packed tight between tho deep-sunk retaining ami dividing walls, tho debris left after the con struction men have passed along-, l n-l.la ".-eir,." will !if evnnii(u.l ... till. .... .... ...... ....,.., . ,, - tually down to tho water line, giving Vastly more head-room than appears at piesent from an Inspection of the sub way. Passing hv along the plazas of City Hull, or thiough the Inner courtyard, all- that one vee Is the covering of heavy planks which loofs over the ex teilor cuts, the few necessary buildings to houso c-otivevlng and evr.ivatlng ma chinery, and the fenced-in area opposite Broad Street Station. Teams or motortt ticks driving In and out, or landing nt the mrb while they were loaded with dirt hrnught up from Hie excavation shafts, thow that feme tore of work Is going along there steadily but offer no hint of the magni tude of the undertaking. Oreat Illfllrullle Overcome Building this subway terminal would have been a comparatively simple Job had the work been simply a matUr of excavating u great pit. lining It with concrete, and then roofing It over with street and sidewalk. The difficulties lay In the fact that the subway makes a sort of subcellar for a portion of Pity Hall. The great marble buildings under which subway trains will roar In future jears weigh IGimiOO tons. Thu Job was to dig under them and yet keep them from sinking lr.to their foundations How well this Job was dona may be realized from the fact that the maximum settlement In anv part of City Hall has not exceeded live eighths of an Inch since the work be gan. No serious i racks have developed In the building, despite the fait that In the three and a half jenrs since work began the whole tremendous weight has been shifted from Its original founda tions to new ones of steel and concrete. Tho subway under City Hall h.is been costly far more so than was estimated originally The contract price for the work whs $1,737,3:0. llJt when the contract was let It had not been planned to take the subway under the build, tug. The new work necessary because of the change In the oilglual plans prob ably will bring the linal col up to approximately $3,000,000. Huge t'nderplniilng Job The work was essentially an under pinning Job, Kven the laymen in the party which viewed the strnctute today could see that the crux of the woik had beep tho transfer of the hall's weight to tlm gient columns and piers built for the ntupnxp Merely figuring tho loads and stiain. and niul.lng the detailed specifications for the materials which would go Into construction, wero a difficult piece of engineering work. It had to h absolutely right, else thero was grave-danger of serious damage to the structure above, to say nothing of po'slble loss of life The Job will be done In Its entirety by midsummer. If the piesent schedule Is adl ered to, About 450 men are nt work on It now At no time have theie been fewer than 200 men working. foundation Itent On lied Hoik To make the hall serure from sink ing or cracking, It was necessary to let It on bed roclt. The weight rests on walls built In sections each section npproxl inately six feet In length, ami carried down to the water Hue Below the water line, the strain Is borne by great 15-Inch steel pipe piles. Tlese piles were driven down through the muck and water of the lower levels, little by little, until they struck bed rock When firmly anchored there they were cleaned out and filled with con crete. The wulls were built on top of them. 2100 Mrel l'llea Support Building The steel-pipe piles are designed to curry a weight of approximately 100 tons each as a maximum. There are iiuu of these, piles under the building, - lu some places huge w nights urear- rfed by great columns and pillars,'' The weight of the structure could jfot be rvtiily distributed The lieavejrt joaus are. concentrated at th northwest cor- Vtr along the center line Market etreet Rial at the south ejtVanC8 along 1 the line tf Broad street, .tfere In some cMf apMSW columns or jr called i m "r"B or. iiv tons.
