above the ground, and the ailuvial character Of
the soil on which IL IL built required the founda-
ton to be dug some 10 feet deep 20 ensure n solid
basis. The entire mass Of masonary will be
about - feet In height. The western abutmcnt
will not be near so heavy. IL will stand immedi-
a,eiy alongside Of the railroad level with the
