WARRINGTON Dec. 20.-The news that there
had been big slump in stocks on both the
New York and London exchanges, and that
the gold Withdrawals for export today would
approximate s4000.U0o and possibly more,
created something Of a sensation among
treasury officials. At about noon assistant
secretary Curtis had a conversation with
New York parties over the long distance tele-
phone. and at its conclusion hurriedly left the
department for the White House. where tho
Cabinet was in session He was shown into
tho Presidents room, where he was joined
Immediately by Secretary Carlisle. The sub
stance of Mr.. Curtis information was laid
before the President and Cabinet. What
measures, IL any. will be taken at once by the
government to ailay the panicsy situation Is
problematical, but there now seems to he no
reasonable doubt that in case Of continued
large Withdrawals of gold. even for another
week, the President will send y message to
Congress urging the gravity Of the situation
as reason for immediate and favorable 40
tion on the recommendation already made.
that the Secretary of the Treasury be author
izeo TO issue low rate bonds to preserve the
integrity OF the gold reserve. In the absence
OF prompt legislation in this direction. 10 is
not doubted that another bond issue under
the same authority as the preceding ones, will
be announced.

a bearing uron which the heavy cross
girders rest. The main supporting
tower OF the pier IL obtained principally
from the wooden pile driven into hard
bottom. while the casing of cast iron pro,

jury from other causes. In placing both
the stone and Cushing piers the work
was SO conducted as not to damage or dis
turb IN any way the old wall along the
face OF and supporting the heavy build

the Cushing piers, thus producing less

earth than would be the case with the
ordinary drop hammer.
The superstructure IL OF steel through
out with asphalt pavement, there being
no wood used in any part OF IL. There
are Is heavy plate girders each resting
near one end OF the stone pier and near
the other on a Cushing pier, the portions
OF each girder projecting over the piers
furnishing support for the sidewalks on
each side of the bridge, while the part OF
the girder between the piers supports the
driveway.
These cross girders are placed about 13
feet apart, ana spanning the space be-
tw zen them are four lines OF stringers ex'
tending the entire length of the bridge,
and upon which rests the street floor OF
the driveway. The sidewalk floor is also
of steel and raised six inches above the
driveway. The troughs or eorrugations
in the floor, both on the driveway and
sidewalks were leveled up TO the proper
height with Portland cement concrete
and then coyred with a wearing surface
OF asphalt. The total length of the
bridge is about 1875 feet, with a driveway
OF 26ie feet, and two sidewalks, the east
erly one being eight feet wide and the
one adjoining the buildings being 10lo
feet, giving a total width OF street Of 45

have been inconvenienced by the closing

Special efforts have been made BY
those in charge of the work to provide
means OF access 10 the buildings fronting
on the bridge, by means OF temporary
walks.

entire work will be between $50. 600 and
