The statement that the work of re-
pairing the piers of the Aqueduct bridge
is being done by private parties is not
correct. The bridge is under the con-

repairs and the policing of the struc-
ture. 1t is probable that the bridge
will eventually be used for electric rail

other bridge built in the upper reach of
