Tie Contractors VIII be Held RE-
sponsible for Them.
No official Information has been received
by the government engineers that the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company has withdrawn
It's opposition to the further prosecution Of
the work upon the Eastern Branch bridge.
The engineer in charge has notified the
contractors to proceed with the work with.
out delay, holding him responsible for
whatever time has been lost by this contro-
versy. The district attorney and the local
engineer of the railroad company were seen,
hut they had heard nothing Of any with.
drawal OF the companys objections.
According to a statement Of Col. Hams,
the engineer IN charge Of the Aqueduct
bridge, the contractors will have that
structure ready for teams to cross In three
weeks time. Much delay has been caused
through bad management on the part OF
the contractors, and also by the destruct tion
by fire OF the plant OF the Morse Iron Com
paDy, which corporation had the contract
for supplying the iron work.
The question Of draw In the bridge has
at last been dropped, as 1t met with such
decided opposition.
