detail and to have suggested several modi-
fications, especially with reference to the
draw, towers, etc, and it appears to have
entirely concurred in the bascule tower
Idea. Certainly this weight of professional
testimony is not to be rudely pushed aside
by a few lines by Mr.. Keller.
Mr. Keller concludes by criticising the
Secretary of War for not inviting four
architects as well as four engineers to
submit designs. Bridge building is particu-
larly the field of the engineer. When work
ing in harmony architects and engineers
can be of great assistance to each other;
but as general rule neither is anxious TO
trespass upon the territory OF the other.
In the present instance there Is evidence
that the engineers and architects worked
together tremendously, and 1t Is to be hoped
that more joint work will follow. This Is
probably one of the first instances where
the specifications for a bridge require that
the engineer associate an architect with
himself hut MT. Keller is not satisfied.
In speaking of this subject the Engineer
ing Record says: THE character OF the
work to be designed. including both the
sub and superstructures, was such as 10

ler's proposition to invite eight competitors
is that the prizes would have been SO small
