above ground. The face of the solid rock
at One Hundred and Ninety-fifth street will
soon have a huge mouth, for here the sub

Over on the other side of Harlem another
legislature of the state passed an act by
which the work could be taken up. It has
been the Indefatigable labor of Mr. Pnr
Bons and his corps of engineers which has
made possible the formation of plans fur
every detail now being carried out suc
cessfully. During the months preceding the letting
of the contracts Mr. Parsons' offices were
the busiest rooms in New York. Every
street car line, every support for elevated
structure, building, siih-cellar, every water
sewer or gas pipe, together with house con
