Thomas Stret ford, for twonly yenr? nn cnulneor
In the city Work? D.partmcnt and one of lirook
lyn> best-known ??nfr.ln.-ers. has taken a deep Inter- ;
est in the eon?:ltlon of the Navy Yar.l ArydOCka
??nee the ?tory of the leaking; of the d?>eks was first ?
puMlshod. Mr. Stratford raaegM* his city plr.c.) i
two years oro and Is now in private business. Mr. '?
Stratford's ex??rlv-nce ha? given him considerable j
knowledge of the bulldliiK of drydock? ami Mmllnr
structures, and at the request of a number o? his
frt?M?is who are Interested In the affairs at the
?Mfy Yard he has put in writing the results of hi?
observation und study of the docks. This Is what
he ?ay?:
"In the discussion now koIiik on In relation to
the timber drydocks In the Navy Yard, the only
point to which the luglliaailni Board has ad
<'.r? eoe? Itself Is whether the water comes from the,
<_d timber basin or from the Wnllabout Creek or
Chant.? 1. It goes without saying that the entire
?oil of the Navy Yard Is saturated up to the level
of high tide, and that, given an opportunity, the
water ?rill flow through any crevlee with the
velod'y du? to the head of water .r. in i.ther wOfda,
the distance of the leak below high tide.
"No one s??ms to have addressed himself to the
question. How Is It that a tOCk costing nearly $*>0.
i>.?0 should develop s? riuus leska a t?\?. w..k.s after
its acceptance by the engin, enn? oin?er?-- of the
Nsv]. A gUncc si the style of construction
adopted w... answer the question. The dock, as
Well a? its brother ?lock, ?tyled No. 2. Is located In
what wa? Wallabout Hay, tb? high-water mark Of
which was south nf Fluahinf-ave, on the south and
on the east the high i?.at?-.iu of t!i?' Naval Hospital
grounds. This entire area was tilled In with all
kinds of e|;y refuse. The bottom of the excavated
dock Is about thirty feet below high tl?J*-. which
level 1? In Mturate- sand. In this sand ?plica were
driven and the ?i-.tlre Isvel of this bottom was .av?
enal with concreta t.? a depth of about rive feet.
But the sid?s ar?? protected by a puddle-wall cov
? red on the fronts with timb?r steps or altars. The
material which forms lb? backing to th?se puddle?
WSl I is saturated sand or city refuse. BUCH as bal?
last, cellar dirt and street swe<;ilngs. is it any
wonder that this material has settled or shitted
and brokenu puddle-walla and allowed the wster
hel?l In the saturated mateiial to flow in through
the broken puddle-walls'.'
"Again, as t" the plan of driving tongued and
grooved sh?et-s,illlng around the ?locks to k?-?-p out
the water. Whal I? to keep the water out of a
apses between the line of spiling ami the pudd'.e
Uall''
"The use of pud.'.'.?'-walls for the making of tlirht
?anbankntent? la not now permitted in good engt*
neerlng practice. The use of concrete or rubble
masonry has isken its place, if inclosing walls of
concret?? or rubble masonry had been usel lnst?'iid
of puddle-wall? I here would have been no lenk?.

then ?lea In the fact that th?- design of the ?loi k
Is not up to the requirements of modern engine.?r
Inj practice.
"A similar rnlstnk?. due to false economy, Is to
be seen in the MUlburn reservoir, where ptnhlle
was used Instead of masonry and. as a result, the
city of Brooklyn has n reservoir ot a ??eve-like
character, and now the Commissioner of City Works
nroposes to expend J4?.?0.<X?0 to do what should hsVfl
been done In the first place. The Government will
find It necessary to ?tse masonrv walls before It has
S dock in which It can have confidence at all times/'
