Grace's charges that the hospi-tal was overcdowded and that the officials of the institution were in-competent in the handling of con-tagious diseases, as evidenced by the cross-infection of his boy, were the subject of an investigation by the Committee on Public Welfare of the Board of Supervisors. The committee reported that the offi-cers of that Institution were high-ly competent and that the percen-tage of cross-infection was less than the average in other hospi-tals.

"It should be made impossible for cross-infection to occur," Dr. Ramsdell said in his report.

"Isolation should be made so

The Hutchinson River Parkway route follows the river valley and it was necessary to pierce the rail-road embankment by tunneling and at the same time maintain the railroad nialiL line traffic. A unique problem different from anything previously encountered was presented and special design and construction methods had to be developed to meet the condi-tions. From the top of the em-bankment underneath the rail-road tracks, deep well holes were first excavated and at the bottom of these holes heavy, concrete footings were built.

During the arch construc-tion the earth, embankment, the steel dolumns supporting the rail-road tracks were embedded in the arch. The lower portions of the columns protruding below the arch were then burned off with acetylene torches. The load of the railroad tracks has now been transferred from the steel girders to a new earth embankment rest-ing on the concrete arch.

The final operation of removing the huge earth core that remained inside of the arch Is now under way. With the railroad tracks safely supported, steam shovels are now at work tearing out the earth and rock embankment which, when their work Is done, will be pierced by a 60-foot arched opening about SO feet high through which heavy motor traffic on the Hutchinson River Parkway will be flowing by the end of this year.

The construction work has been done by the Suburban Engineer-ing Company, of New York, under the general direction of Jay Down-er, chief engineer of the Westches-ter County Park Commission, The firm of Moran, Maurice & Proctor, of New York, experts on special foundation work and methods were consulting engineers.
