AQUEDUCT BRIDGE REPAIRS.
Contract With the Philadelphia Com
pnny Annulled.

The establishment of Camp Alger near
Falls Church. Va, has subjected the AQue-
duct bridge, crossing the Potomac, to an
unusual strain. 1t also caused contro-
versy between Col. Allen. the engineer Of
ficer in charge of the government works
in this vicinity, and the Houston Construc-
ton Company of Philadelphia, which conf
nany had the contract for the reconstruc-
ton of pier No. of the Aqueduct bridge.

the annulment of the contract with the
Philadelphia company and a total suspen-
sion of the work of repairing the bridge.
Col. Allen has been authorized to take
the necessary steps to make the bridge
safe and secure for travel. Arrangements
will be made fer resumption of work Tor
the reconstruction of the defective pier
after the war is over. The Houston COM
pany proposed to do this work for $4,000.
They were, however. much behind in their
work and are said to be very well salts
fed with the termination Of the contract.
