Itrlek Block Carried 133 Peet Ana Deposited Safely. A New York contractor has broken the record for inoviag briek houses. He has just completed the moving of a row of five story brick fiats weighing 80,000 tote 0 distance of 136 feet. The row had a front- age of 100 feet and a depth of 65 toot Tbe job bas been completed without cracking a pane of glass or disturbing it single brick. Until within it few years it was thouglit impossible to move a briok building, for it was well known that the slightest -uneven- ness of tho foundation would cause the walls to cruroble about tho beetle of the movers. But this contractor knew what be was doing when he offered to do the Work. Tbe bleak was in tho path of the approaches to it new bridge which is being built over the 13arlera river. The owner had decided to tear down the houses when the daring contractor natal° his proposal, and the offer was accepted. But it was ticklish business. The first operation involved the raising of all four flat houses from the eight solid stone but- tresses on which they rested, Next their enormous weight had to be transferred to massive platform of 12 inch yellow pine beams. Hundreds of jackscrews were used in this operation, and of course each screw had to be turned at exactly the same instant and precisely as much as all the others. This part of the work naturally required a large number of men, and the days occupied in the operation were 4111- MOVING A BRICE BLOCK. Mug ones to the contractor. In order to insure absolute come no; of action tbe fore- man of the job was provided with a wins- tle, which he sounded et regular intervals, and every time its sera' blast was heard every screw was given a turn. Tbis was continued till the whole ponderous man was elevated four feet. As soon as the fiats had been raised massive "runway" of heavy timbers was laid down under the structure. These beams were plentifully covered with soap to make them slippery, and then -the sup- porting platform, consisting of layers of beams laid alternately lengthwise and crosswise, was constructed. After that the blowing of the foreman's whistle and the turning of the niany screws were resumed and continued till the structure had been lowered sufficiently to let it rest on the platform. Then everything was accounted ready for the moving. As in raising the buildings, so in mov- ing them, jackscrews were employed, but only ten instead of hundreds. At each Limn of the screws the buge mass was moved three -sixteenths of an inch, at which rate a progress of nine feet a day could have been maintained and the entire job done in 12 or 13 days had the 110 feet over which the buildings were to be moved been in a straight line. But because of the change in direction from south to east the building bad actually to travel 1811 feet, some thousands more turns were nen essary and 3 days were ,requirvd for the moving proper.
