THE GREATEST OF ENGINEERING FEATS 77 VIEW OF ASHOKAN DAM have concurred in the several branches of this vast work. We seldom think of the subway, except when occasion demands that we ride in it. In the same way, when the clear water of the Catskills issues forth at the turning of a faucet, we will doubtless accept it as a matter of course — the only reminders of the great system which brings the supply being the reservoirs and dams and an occasional view of the evenly graded embankment over portions of the aqueduct. Yet when all things are considered, the years of labor, the scientific principles involved and the commendable end accomplished, the construction of New York City's new water system will stand as the greatest of engineering feats and one of the wonders of the world. The main features of the work now in progress, from Ashokan to New York, have been taken in Moving Pictures, with the co-operation of the Water Department, and they will prove highly instructive, giving a clear idea of the enormity of the undertaking. 1 . _ _ • — ^^■ni \ em ! \/ \
