THE CUES ION OF APPORTIOSING THE NCKRAsED
COST OF THE WORK ON ACCOUNT OF THE CHANGED
PLANS.
The Secretary Of War is beginning to unite the
Gordian knot that has been delaying the progress
OF the construction Of the Eastern Branch bridge.
The first step in this process was supplementary
contract with the Gr0ton Bridge CO. to proceed
WIN the work On modified plans submitted by
Col. Hains and approved by the Government, the
contractors and tine railroad company. This plan
gives two through, or high, spans AZ the western
end OF the bridge, thus allowing The company to
run It's tracks underneath on the originally pro-
posed line This change In plans viii cost $40 600,
Ihe price stated In the supplementary contract.
The Secretary Is considering the question OF the
proportion or the cost to be paid by the railroad
