CHICAGO SKYSCRAPERS " REST ON SOLID ROCK; i IMPOSSIBLE TO SLIP (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Dec. 19. Chicago.s three "leaning towers," sky-scraper3 built during the nineties, now are resting firmly on bedrock founda- tions 80 feet below the surface. The three big office buildings, among the first, in the skyscraper class, were originally built on pile foundations, ajid when the piles settled they were left noticeably out of plumb. An inquiry disclosed that all three ' had been jacked up while foundations ; were continued down to the solid : rock, and that since the alteration was v made there has been no further set tling. Chicago is underlaid by a solid Silu rian deposit of Niagara limestone, v from 40 to 80 feet down.' Over It is a loose deposit of blue clay and other material. Some of the first skyscrapers, fol lowing building methods then In vogue were erected on forests of piling, but the foundations proved unsuited to holding the immense weight of the big office structures. Impossible to Ship. Chicago's building laws limit the height of office buildings to 260 feet. It is impossible, geologists at the Uni versity of Chicago say, to pile up enough weight within that limit to cause any shifting or slipping of the bedrock foundation. The clay depos- ; its above the rock, on the other hand, are subject to a slight slipping move ment. Workmen who dug the 60 miles of freight subway under the loop streets found that blue clay had about tho consistency of well worked putty, and that it was Impossible to handle It by Q any ordinary methods. They finally solved the problem to equiping steel x bands three feet long' with handles, like a cross-cut saw. Holding the blade In both hands, the workman would bend it into the form of a horseshoe and hack out the soft clay from the tunel heading, while compressed air held back the mass until forms could be placed and the concrete walls poured.

This was done by painting lines which, when photographed, gaye the idea of ex treme distance.
