With this inability of ar.y ons to
venture an explanation of what or wti->
waa at fault came the significant ?tat. -
ment by Robert Kidgway, engineer in
charge of aubway construct,on for tha
Public Service Commission, that there
?Acre many ni'?r.- miles of other StlOl ?
undrr support of temporary conatru -
t.on similar to that which crumbled up
yest'trduy morning.
"We are milking a rigid inspection of
all such work," h?> said, "to make aura

Among other places in which ha sal.I
this was possible were parts of tha
S.-ve:.th Avenue line, from Forty-see

also Yarick Street, Weal liroadway at..I

stretches m Lexington ?aee-noe from
Fifty-third Street to the. Hariem River,
he said, aa well as in Broadway, from
Fourteenth Street to Thirty-eight*?
Strt-et. In Brooklyn the danger spots
from Atlantic Avenue to tha

or the inspection aervice of the Publie
Service Commission.
At the commission it was pointed
out that the contracts provide that tha
construction company shall be respon
? ble for injury to persons or damage
to property. A main question to b?i
considered la whether the type cf
temporary construction used waa at

"The Public Service < ommiasion

?hare the blame for a faulty design.
