Percolation of water through the roof of the Broadway-Canal street station of the B.

R. T. subway line, concerning which the Public Service Commission hr-s received a number of complaints, was referred to Commissioner Charles Itulklcy Iiubbell, who has just presented tbe following report unanimously ap- roe! by the Commission: "The roof of the B. K. sub fay in Cunal street is about twenty -five feet below the street level, the grade having been established so as to pass under the structure of tbe Centre Street Loop with as little clearance as popgible.

The, lh-terboromrh SuRway in Lafayette street being somewhat higher, there is greater difference in level between the floor of the Interborough Subway and the roof of the Uanal Street Subway. This intervening space has been filled up with concrete, making a physical connection between the two structures at this point, it is also to be observed that where the Centre Street Loop crosses the Canal Street Subway, also where the Xnterborough Subway in Lafayette street crosses the Canal Street Subway, both structures are npiortcd by means of concrete piles resting on hard bottom. "A few small leaks, which bv thim- selves would be unimportant, developed during the course of construction. L'p to the time of operation, 1 have reunonj to believe that there ws no indication but that the station would lie as watertight as is usuui for this clam of wort. After operation, and oarticularlv during ttmue of the extreme cold weather, ad ditional leaka of a more serious character developed.

Water begun to come in in such quantities aa to make it neces sary to adopt prompt measures to reni- euj liiese conuiuuus. "I have been unable to ascertain defi nitely toe cause of the leaks. A Dossi hie cause should, however, be noted. Where1 the L'nnal street structure passes under the Iiiterborougb structure in Lafayette street, and under tbe structure of the Centre street loop in Centre street there is no back fill on the tunnel roof, and a large poction of the weight of both structures la carried to hard bottom by means of piles consisting of steel cylinders tilled with concrete. Be tween Centre and Lafayette streets and east of i entre street and west of La- fuvettc street the structure in Onal street is flokted on the bottom without piles and there is, in addition, sbout a ton and a half per sqnsrc foot of back till na the tunnel roof.

"From this it may be argued that after the back nil bad been placed in position, and operation begun, there was a tendency toward uneven settlement, the structure under the two afreets being more rigidly held than the structure between the streets, anil the ah-iictnrn hetween the streets beini: snbiccted to a heavier load of back till Stich an uneven settlement wonld tend to cause a separation between the structures. Shrmkage aof tne concrete in hardening, and the unusual contrac tion due to unpreeedentea com weain-er, would also tend to cause separation and this separation might result in the breaking of the laps of the waterproofing. Investigation is under way now to determine whether sucu rsibie uneven settlement has actual-taken place. In no' event, however, can such settlement affect the integrity of tlie structure. it is possible that if the work were to be planned over again some changes would he made in tne aewign wns-u might minimise some of the difficulties which have been encountered.

I ennvinrH however, that reason able care and skill were used in the preparation of the design and the work-in nut nf I he construction nroblem. I desire slso to state that I am unable fo ascertain either by indications in the structure itself or In tne recoras 01 engineer in charge that the contractor haa been in any way at fault either in materials used or in workmanship. "Various expedients nre being used to dispose of the wster which has been mmini throuch the roof in such quanti ties as to make it exceedingly disagree able for natrons of the road using tne station platforms. Drip pans were at-! tached to the roof at points where the 1 u.m-1 In water came im meet the diffiexilty until the migratory character of the incoming water was demonstrated hy Its seeking another outlet, perhaps twenty feet from the drip in. already established, which required the installation of other drip pans of a similar nature.

The water come through the roof in some instances at points where electric conduits are let into the structure. Just how complete protection will be provided against this leaky condition of the -roof has not yet been Whollv determined. I am assured bv the chief engineer that grouting, nr filling in suspected joints in the structure, where the water penetrates, will be remedy. A thorough system of bleeding, or conducting the water to channels where it can readily he taken care ot will overcome pnrt, of the difficulty. It is expected that many of the leaks will stop of themselves after a time by the gradual silting up of the cflsideration ef methods to be used and speedy application of such methods aa may 'be determined upon, are under consideration by the chief engineer and the contractors, the Underpinning and Foundation Company.

I am persuaded that there is nothing in existing conditions to justify sny fear as to structural integrity and absolute safety. Tie conditions which have developed are hardly more than should nave neen exiwciru. all of the difficulties of the situalion being taken iuto account The construction of this section of the subway was without precedent and neither the engineers nor the contractor had, or could have had the experience In similar work prcessnry to foresee and overcome all of the difficulties encountered. Broadway-Canal street slstion has become a more important transfer point thnn was ever Intended. It was originally contemplated that the new snbwav line across Fourteenth street.

Germany varies the amount of uer allowances according to local need and the type of community, and permits some discretion to local distributive agencies. While may hare changed her plan In existence previous to the present utihearal in that countrr.

Allotments and Allowances for Wife sad Children. The United States entered upon similar plan of compensution for aol-dicra and Kailnra when the measure of Oct. 117. was placed on the statute hooka. Under that law the wife Mid children, as well as a divorced wife, aro regarded aa nriimirv and receive first consideration.

The I Government requires cvory enlisted I man in the militaiy-nnd naval service! iu urn an allotment toward the sup-Port of this, class of dependents, unless the wife on written consent, supported by satisfactory evidence, can convince the Government that sffo is able to support herself and any children in her custody. Likewise, the enlisted man may secure exemption from thia allotment for good cause shown, aiich, for instance, as the Infidelity of the wife. Otherwise an allotment to thia class of dependents is compulsory and is fixed at a minimum of $15 per month, and at one-half the man's imv mi. mum. For a wife living separate and apart under court order or written agreement or for a wife divorced, or for an illegitimate child, the amount of compulsory allotment and allowance together cannot exceed the sum specified in the conrt order, or agreement If these be a former wife divorced she can obtain as an allotment only what ia left out of one-half the nian'a pay, if v.

aiier iuo requirea provision Has been paid for wife and children The allotments in the cases just men- nre compulsory and automatic, the amount, therefore, is deducted uy me ivoyernment rrom tne man a pay and forwarded to wife or children without formal application tf any kind. All that needs to be established is that the soldierhas dependents of this class and as a matter of course. But while the allotment is thng made out of the man's pay. whether he ap proves or not, the Government also adda a specified allowance toward the support of these dcoondents. varvini ac cording to tlie number of such depend ents, ine man must allot out-of his pay the same amount as the Government also adds a -specified allowance toward the support of these denendents.

the number of TlSj dition aboye be applied for bv the nia.n himself nr hv or in behalf of a prospective beneficiary. The reason for this provision is clear. While the millionaire wife is entitled to the allowance, and will receive it just the same ss a dependent wife after proper it is not expected that the will apply. If the allowance were sent without the necessity for such application, it is conceivable that many would receive it who do not need it; whereas, if required to make application, they will probably not go to the trouble to do so. The term, "child" includes one legal ly aaoptea more tnan six months be- fore the act went into effect or before I active service commenced, whichever is the latter dote; also a stepchild, if a member of the man's household.

The term ia further reeirictcd to pply only to unmarried persons who are either nnder eighteen years of age or any age if permanently helpleMs. What Happsas if, a Maa's Par Is Forfeited. If for any reason a man's pay is forfeited and there is no allotment from him to his wife and children, the Government allowance ceases also. This seems a rather harsh treatment, but on deliberation it is no more so tbau that which often happens In civil life. The monthly allowance of 1 former wife divorced cannot exceed what is left out of the $30 maximum which the (Tovernment allows after th rn.

Not, however, for more than ona month after the termination of the present war. No allowances will be paid for any period precediug Nov. 1. 017.

For example; A private receiving $30 per month and having a wife and four children would be compelled to allot to ms rnmuy at least sin, to this sum the Government- would add the amount iST 7 Z. 0 142.50; would receive a "total of tri7.n0.

human beings, snd no matter-how deep-' ly they are interested in what they are doing, if an incentive is provided tbey are spurred on to do better work. Consequently, there was established the Order of Liberty, consisting of three grades bronxe. silver and gold. These are to be awarded for distinctive service according to regulations laid down by the Deputy Police Commissioner. Awards for service will be made those qualifying after the completion of six months' training.

The requirements are hard, bnt already there has muni- felted itself among the men a keen interest and everybody is puiling bard for an Order of Liberty. It is significant that Commissioner Wanamaker Is taking an unusually strong interest In the development ot' the Police Training Corps. He probably has the idea in mind of building up a reserve of young men for the Police Department and preparing them to enter on their duties mentally and physically qualified for their jobs. It is interesting to note Mr. Wanamaker has met many of tin men-who are in tbe corps and persynally encouraged them.

In line with the, keen interest shown hy Mr. Wanamaker, he recently issued an order requesting precinct and dis-. trict police commanders to nuke sn effort) to obtain eligible men for tin-corps.)

This body is known as the Police Reserve, and folks may be surprised to learn that the Police Beserve has been built out of the mere shell of a former organixation, tbe Home Defense League, which came into e-xiBtence like a flashing meteor, and like such astronomical things disappear leaving but a haxy memory. While the league existed. Mayor ilitchel and hia subordinates promised many things to the members. They were assured, for instance, they would get shields, they were told they would be furnished with uniforms and that every convenience and facility would be offered them.

But these promisea were not made good. In the sbnffle, the Uome Defense League was quite forgotten. 8omeof those who spend much of their spare time loitering in the corridors of City Hall speculating on the next move of the Mayor and la aides, stated with an air of confidence the "Mayor was going to can the Home Defenders." Indeed', thma, elnae to the Mavor were under tbe belief the Home Defense League would be permitted to expire. If mnvnne believed Mayor Hylan was not conversant with the real situation, be in laboring under a delusionTir. Hylan saw that such an organixation was essential, particularly at this time, and he was merely waiting to get the ripht man for the place He was looking for a man who was inherently a STHtcmatiier.

Radntaa Waaaxaaker Selected for Job hy the Mayor. tHiring the early part of February "he thought of a man he was confident could tackle the job of creating an efficient auxiliary to the regular police force. He was Rodman Wanamaker, a successful business nian who had made his mark in the busineaa world and who had developed the faculty of fostering successful enterprises. His interest in aviation is know to everyone.

He conceived the plan of building a machine for transatlantic use. In the hitter part of February Rodman Wanamaker waa appointed Special re-puty Police- Commissioner in charge of. not the Home Defense League, but the Police Reserve. There was at the outset a studied effort to' disassociate the organisation from the sisrit of demagogy, and it was decided to build police auxiliary that would really dot tic work witluMit high-fallutin' names aud fake propositiona. Mr.

Wanamaker called in the police officials who were connected with the Home Defense League, and had a long talk with them. He listened to them rare-fiilly. and had little to say himself, but he endeavored to absorb every thing. Commissioner Wanamaker discovered In the police ufficinls with whom he conferred excellent timber to nssist in th development" of bin plan. He found in Inspector John F.
