SPECIAL ENGINEER
CONVOCATION TODAY
S. Jarrett of New York City
To Address Important
Meeting.
Mr. JOdwin S. Jarrett, member of
the American society of civil engin
eers, and president of the Jarrett
1'lialmera Co. of New York will speak
this morning at eleven o'clock at npo
clal engineer's convocation, in M. K.
206, on "Foundations."
The talk should prove of special int
erest lo all -ivil engineers and all up
per classmen, if possible, should attend
the meeting:.
Mr. Jarrett in Lincoln supervis
ing the tests for the new State Capito! I
building foundations and his company
will have charge of the designing of
same after satisfactory tests have
(been made. He is also examining in
to the source of supplies of all ma
terials which will be used in the con
struction of the building paying espe
cial attention to the foundation.
The Janet Chalmers Co. is one of
the largest of it's kind and has paid
especial attention to all classes cf
foundation work. It is a common
practice in engineering circles to ca'l
in this company when a very difficult
foundation problems are met and the
company has done a vast amount o!'
this kind of work throughout tho
United States. In tin western states,
where water power is to he develop
ed and reservoirs have to br con
structed for the compounding of
water, for this purpose, the company
has been called into consultation
many times for the designing of foun
dations which have been bekond the
scope of the ordinary engineer. Xe
'braska is fortunate in securing the
services of such a reliable company
as we may be sure that the founda
tions designed for the new capito!
will be more satisfactory than those
of the old building.
The preliminary tests for the foun
dations are now beng made and the
first part of this was completed yest
erday. The upper part of the Dakota
Sandstone was encontered at a depth
of about eighteen feet and here the
first test was made. A piece of steel,
four feet square ami about one inch
thick was placed at the bottom o;'
a column of timbers, hollow in the in
side, in which was placed a ten by
ten beam which served as a iruid to
hold the column upright, being guyed
in all directions, and on this four by
four timber column were placed steel
rans unui a nouceauie settling was
observed.
At each additional load the settlings
were recorded and when the totol
amount was about one inch the load
was removed. The total load neces
sary to give this settlement was 251.
000 pounds or about 16.000 per square
foot. The excavation will now be
barried deeper and it is expected to
load the test column to about 500,000
pounds on the next test. When a'.l
these tests have been made it is pre
sumed that there will be sufficient
data for the designing of foundations
which will prove satisfactory for the
columns of the new capitol.
Itossignol of the college of buslnos3
administration.
Reed writes, among other things:
"Having Just recently sallied forth
from your course In socialism, I am
finding much of interest to study in
my wanderingf. over here. Tlure cer
tainly is no scarcity of first hand ma
;irial Ami the workingman's problem
Is deserving of all the attention which
it is receiving of late.
"We have planned quite an exten
