FIVE BIERS FOR HAULING "FILL" [Continued From First Page] was Shoemaker, who offered to do the work in 100 days or less. Shoemaker, by the way, suggests a method for hauling the earth that differs entirely from the others. His idea is to lay a narrow-guage track from Maclay to Chestnut street in Front, out Chestnut to Second and on down Second to the subway work at Mulberry. A tiny steam "dinky" would be employed to haul the long line of cars. The other bidders offer to haul the material via dump wag ons. Stucker Brothers to Pay For Haul The excavation materials will be obtained from Stucker Brothers Con struction Company, the contractors . who are digging the subways. They will pay the city authorities fifteen J cents per cubic yard, loaded, at the subway for removal. To Commissioner ' Taylor belongs the credit for some t real flnanceering to the city's advan tage on that deal. When the question of securing the fill was first taken up some months ago Stucker Brothers Company offer ed to haul the dirt for seventy cents per yard or to pay the city fifteen per wagon loan for hauling It away. How Taylor Earned Money For City An ordinary dump wagon load holds one and four-tenths cubic yards and at the rate of fifteen per wagon load. City Commissioner Taylor insisted that the price was too big and agreed to take oyer the earth provided the city would receive fifteen cents per cubic yard instead of that sum per wagon load. And Stucker Brothers after several conferences agreed. This i. eans that the city will get something like twenty-two or twenty-three cents per wagon load for the dirt. While the question of awarding the contract is pending the plans for the permanent development of the River Front are in the hands of the park department and will be submitted to the Slate Water Supply Commission for approval in the very near future. To Preserve Uniformity of Line The plan as suggested originally by Principal Engineer J. D. Justin of the Board of Public Works and approved with some changes by the park offi cials, provides for the dumping of the earth from a line extending eastward from the edge of the wall In order to preserve the uniformity of the em bankment line at the top. The plan suggested provided for a "one-on-two" proportion slope—one foot vertically to two feet horizon tally. The line of slope will be varied | of course, according to the present steep drop of the embankment. Fur- I thermore the point at which the line ! of fill is to be deposited will depend ' upon the slope. From eighteen to I twenty-two feet will be the distance.
