WOMEN POLICE: PARADING DOWN FlPTII AVENUE} : NEW YORK CITY 



New York's police department faces a tremendous task. The city, because of its great 

 size, the indifference of its citizens to the comings and goings of their neighbors, and the 

 opportunities afforded for having a good time suited to every taste, attracts alike the criminal 

 and those on pleasure bent from everywhere. The war has made a heavy draft on New 

 York's conservators of law and order, but women are proving that they can patrol a beat 

 or collect fares in a street car as well as men. Thus does the economic emancipation of 

 woman receive another boost. 



Between these two reservoirs four 

 kinds of construction were used. Over 

 approximately level ground, the cut-and- 

 cover method was used — a great trench 

 was dug and in it was built a horseshoe- 

 shaped conduit of concrete. Where hills 

 interposed, instead of going around them, 

 grade tunnels were built through them. 



When valleys, creeks, and rivers came 

 in the way, there were three courses 

 open : great masonry aqueducts like those 

 of ancient Rome could be built ; steel 

 pipe-lines could be laid on the floor of the 

 valleys ; inverted siphons or pressure tun- 

 nels could be dug far below the surface 

 through solid rock.
