AN 500 FOOT SPAN

Ordered by the U. s. Government En-
gineers for the BelIaire and Ben
wood Bridge-RepOrt is Umsatis-
factory.
The report of Major Bixby, of the
U. 5. Government Engineers, regard
ing the Bellaire and Benwood bridge,
was made public yesterday by the War
Department, and recommended d
bridge with an 500 foot channel span
The report was voluminous and
showed considerable objection to the
bridge being built, from the river men,
who are fighting all bridges. An 800
foot span, means span covering two
thirds of the river, as when at an Or
binary stage it is about 1900 feet wide
at this point and a span of this length
means piers over one hundred feet high.
The promoters are at Washington try
ing to get the department to reduce the
length of the span.
If the report should be sustained, it
is hardly probable that the bridge will
be built. 1t would likely stop the
building of all pier bridges between
Pittsburg and Cincinnati and destroy
some proposed railroad projects. The
citizens on both sides of the river are
in favor Of the bridge.
